I can imagine a sort of CBB7 vibe or BB9 bathroom sort of tone. The Daily Star says there'll be lots of fun and games so I keep thinking of those sort of Party Poker ads

No, it comes from the latin dēcadentia meaning falling away, as does the word decay (hence 'deca'), however someone who is said to be decadent is someone who is self-indulgent (i.e. enjoys their luxuries) as decadence is a term usually applied to a decline in personal and societal morals (which self-indulgence is viewed by many as).

From the context it was used in they appeared to be referring to moral decadence (i.e. that the house will be full of guilty pleasures) but it could mean the opposite since it's referring to the houses' interior design.

Where as BB11 was a different story altogether.

Do you honestly think the house will be like BB6-BB9ish or will it be really basic and dull like BB1/BB10?

Or do you think it'll be almost identical to BB11 just different colours and furniture?

It not going to be like any of the other bb house here a pic of the new house but there still 2 more week work to be done yet

That's been done to death.

BB5, BB9, CBB7 and towards the end of BB10 when Marcus and his gang started pissing them off.

Evil is boring.

So I agree in a sense, they need a new theme.
Or even a theme from the past, that worked well other than evil.

I was about to recommend a 'Summer' house but then again, BB12 won't be bloody on in Summer!
But hey if it's going to be all fun and games, then surely the house will look like BB8s?
Very Bright and Camp?

BB8's look and branding was said to be intended as "fun" and light in light of the race row that dogged the series that preceded it.

Actually re-reading that express article they were referring to the series as a whole (which will in fairness effect the house design) so it almost certainly was used to refer to a Daily Star-esque sleazy, budget playboy mansion if Desmond gets his way with that.

"playfulness and decadence" was the exact wording.

So do you think it'll be more like the luxurious, Party Poker vibe I'm thinking or the crumbling walls idea you suggested earlier?

Ooh! Another theme! Fun and Games theme - The floor and walls could be designed like chess, checker and Monopoly boards. The duvets can all have Twister boards printed on them One wall could look like a giant Tetris grid. Diary room could look like it's made out of a tonne of giant Lego bricks. HMs have Save and replace tasks like Hangman or Battleships but on a grander scale. BB should allow drinking games with packs of playing cards. HMs can have a Cluedo themed task after an eviction where they acquire clues and evidence to suggest so and so nominated this person. Really up the game playing side of things

Bachelors pad (I was thinking said theme was the house theme when I suggested the crumbling temple look, but it's for the series as a whole a la last year's carnival theme).

maybe there will be a reborn/heaven theme. or the theme of reincarnation??

Love it Ben!

There was a BB Series a year or two ago, I can't remember if it as BB Brazil or Grande Fratello but they had a full on Chess Theme in the Garden, like with figures and stuff.

It looked so Alice and Wonderlandy, I tried to find a picture but no luck.

It really ties in with your idea.

That was kind of what BB11 was though.

Which is weird - CBB7 was Hell and BB11 was Heaven, even though it was the final series.

Maybe they were going for Big Brother dieing and going to Heaven.
I'm not sure how a 'Resurrection' theme could work.

I must find pics of this house!

I know this one sounds really ****ty lol, but for a resurrection/birth theme the house could have giant cots or hospital beds for the HMs and a heart monitor. Perhaps a framed picture of Jesus and a Buddha statue to symbolise reincarnation. My thinking cap's not on tight enough to think of tasks though.
