Why can't they just make the host announce the result on the vote alone in a quiet room? Then let them walk out to a crowd!

I can tell you Endemol are still requesting their 22 crowds a year, with a maximum of five non-Friday evictions, although there is some truth in the article about the creation of a "Big Brother enclosure", which does include the crowd area at the front of the house and the likely (i.e. only possible!) location for the new studio.

Losing the crowd though wouldn't be the worst thing in the world - they're there to add atmosphere, and a chorus of boos isn't an atmosphere most BB fans want.

First of all I'd like to apologise for the article in question. It has been edited, and an apology prepended to the post.

The author of said article honestly was under the impression that the fence wrapped around the whole house due to some tweets from the author of the photo.

I wouldn't mind an enclosed area most other versions like Africa,USA, Pinoy (Phillipines) do it and those guys don't get booed

The crowd definitely make the scuffling
