Wasn't BB 13 given a layout change and It had only been on channel 5 for a year, and then BB 14 was given a layout change a year later. So them not doing a layout change this year makes it the first for channel 5?

Yeah, when its down the stairs housemates seem to use it more and hang around near it.

Oh ok, I only started watching in 2012 and 2011 house pictures looked different to BB 13. So did rooms just move around in the same shape of the building and nothing actually changed.

Yeah, they should build 2 floors as Emma suggested a few days ago. I don't like the curved layout in the main room.

It's not impressive and it's too small, need something that's a lot bigger and looks more impressive.

What you're both discussing is completely unrealistic. The structure at Elstree won't allow an entire second floor due to the roof and the way it slants. The only way you'd get a second floor is if they completely demolished the current building and then rebuilt it with a higher roof and new solid structure.

A programme like Big Brother costs a ton to produce, and the layout of the House is something we unfortunately have to put up with for 1/2 years. It's not really the end of the world. We can't have anything bigger because aside from the main rooms that the Housemates live in the House has to include camera runs, task access and room for a small amount of the crew. The plans for the BB14 house showed that the majority of the floor space had been used for the layout that we still have. Really there's not much else they can do.

I'm not asking for a second floor just a change in layout

Channel 5 will change the layout when they feel the need. The only reason it feels like we've had this layout for longer is because of the extra CBB when in reality we've had it for the same amount of time as some C4 layouts. The only reason C4's layouts seemed different was because they added one/removed one wall from a room which made it smaller.

Agree I really wished they would cut back to one cbb a year

[Will.]

2 CBB is awful, makes CBB 12 feel like 3 years ago. And that makes the layout feel old because it has been in 6 seasons including CBB 15, were as if there was 1 CBB a year it would have been in 4.

[Marsh.]

Are they using all of the space though?

Why did the BB3/4 houses appear so much larger? Can they not go back to that size.

That was because they didn't have such a restrictive structure at the back of the house. When it was rebuilt for BB9 it became very restrictive.. plus before BB9 none of the houses had a small or large task room. Here's the layout from BB14:

Why can't they take the restrictive structure down again?

I'd happily let them do away with the pointless task rooms tbh.

They can if they submit the right planning permission to the council etc. They have to submit planning to the council every time they want to make a minor adjustment. You can look at the proposals and submitted documents on the Herts council website.

The task rooms are useful but I think we could easily do without them. They'd give a big space to work with.

[Jamesy]

They should really ditch the taskrooms and create a bigger house with more rooms.

It's just as easy to close off a part of the house to set up for a task really. They coped just fine for 11 series on C4, just as easy to do the same now.

[Sam:)]

Really unimpressed with the lounge. It just looks like they used the left over mirror frames from 2013 and put a random wallpaper which contrasts with the light walls.

Bedroom looks amazing but have a feeling it will not look good on screen, I hope im wrong.

I agree. I can't even remember when the big task room was used this year?

The small one was used for the call centre task in CBB14, the mortuary in BB15 and the barnyard task in BB15 - but can't recall the large one ever being used? They should just use the garden more effectively for tasks, I preferred it when it was that way anyway. When they go to the task rooms for tasks, it seems less natural for me (although that may be because they've clearly been with production crew to get specially designed make-up/costumes for the tasks which kind of rules out the no outside contact rule, no doubt 'How are they finding me on the outside?' comes up).

I like this house but Its not my favourite one

They've had the task room since Big Brother 9, so they used it on C4 too.
