[Underscore]

So, which arena was your favourite?

I'm torn, I love the simplicity of the old arena, but also love the modern and more kinda glam approach of the new arena...

Old arena:



New arena:

[BBUK-Fan]

The new one.

[Jack_]

The new one but I've never really liked the position of the walkways, I think it'd look better if it went straight across like it used to (with maybe two little presenting areas off to the corners of the circle stage, a la BB7)

[AProducer'sWetDream]

I'm kind of torn. The new one was stunning for BB17 but I thought the graphics this year have been OTT and with the huge screens it's too much.

I would have to choose the old one for BB15 alone.

[Ronald.]

The old one gets my vote. R.

[T*]

Neither
They're both awkward and tacky

[BBUK-Fan]

I think the new one lets the housemates interact with fans and as they get to the stairs, they can say bye to their family and not like the old one where they can barely see them.

Atmosphere wise the old set was way better.

[RileyH]

Old

The new one probably looks better but half the time the crowd seem dead

[Jason.]

New.

The old one looked like a building site with all the scaffolding and the stands.

[Lostie!]

New one is miles better, both the exterior and the inside interview studio.

[Eddie.]

Old one has my vote, the new arena looks so tight and looks quite cheap...

[neneu10]

New

[reece(:]

New one except those trash wobbly stairs need to go

[HBIC]

New one, the old one looks so cheap.

[Jodie.]

New one, just wish it was slightlyyyyy bigger and had a better atmosphere

[Matthew.]

Ask me this time last year, I would say old one.

Ask me right now, it’s a tough decision but I’ll say new one bc and I know this sounds weird but in our flat, we have a door to the right which is perfect for acting out my Big Brother eviction. (everyone’s done it)

[Marsh.]

The new one. But both are ruined by tackiness and the fact the crowd if tragic.

This.

The fact the stage layout is so awkward and cumbersome makes me think they did it just to fill space and cover the fact that there's no crowd.

Ok I regret what I said, the new one is much better because it's not too repetitive, you can change the setting just with the screens and the lighting, which is something the old one lacks...though the atmosphere in the new one could definitley be improven...
