From the really small bits of the new exterior we have seen so far.. i feel like they have made it way too small and it looks really odd with that massive square screen?

Anyone got any better pictures?
What do you guys think?

nice opinion you have, and i agree with you, it's a bit odd when you compare it to other years




and Welcome to the forum Alex

I'd have any change of the exterior from having the same one for around 5 years

It has wrap around LEDs. It will look fine

Oh good! I'm sure it will look great though when we see the overall finished product next week!

and also meet the housemates, can't wait

It can't be any more boring than the old ser we've had for 5 years

I loved the exterior we had for all of 5S run. The eye door was iconic, the rotating eye platform was fab.

I never got the obsession with wanting it to change

I have to agree with you, I loved the old exterior.

Pretty much this!

I've become so tired of the same design year after year - the change is more than welcomed!

Yes! Why couldn't they keep the iconic Eye Door and do something around that!!

[Babayaro.]

The eye door was disgusting

The set looks brilliant so far tbh - the wrap around screen should look fantastic!

The old set looked okay in 2011, but it aged very quickly imo. Like, in 2013 you could see that there was a lot of dirt under the lights in the catwalk and under the stairs. Adding a background onto the eye stage also looked okay, but the entire thing just wasn't practical - the stands made it looked boxed in (it was literally tiny in real life) and the eye stage ruined most of the interviews because you could hear the crowd reaction in the background. The entire eviction set has been crying out for an overhaul for a long time now so I'm glad it's finally getting one!

tbh.

It looked good for the first two years as it was new, but they should've really changed the set for BB14 to go with the house overhaul they had for Secrets and Lies and Emma being the new host, it would've fitted perfectly yet alone keeping it for an extra 3 years.

That's the thing with most BB sets, they're only fresh for about a year or two. C4 changed theirs regularly so we didn't get bored looking at the same thing every year, but keeping it the same for 5 years is just too much.

although the old set looked the best during BB15/CBB15 so we wouldn't have had that if they changed it in 2013

Channel 4 never did any changes really all they had was the led screen on the house with the new graphics or move the stairs and the crowd space around.

When I first seen the new Channel 5 set including the eye and the rotating eye at the top of the stairs I have to admit I loved it BUT after being to so many eviction from Channel 4 and 5 days I remember the Roar of the crowd in BB11 I mean the audience was huge and poor housemates if they were booed becaused it sounded like a football stadium! Then I went to my first eviction on Channel 5's new set and was so underwhelmed it may have looked good but there was just not the same atmosphere it was way to small and now its even smaller eek!

Looking forward to seeing the new set up though I wish they had just gone back to the old school crowd and barriers and housemates walking at ground level through the fans not down the tiny catwalk.

Only 4 days!!!! I'm hoping we get pics before.

It was one for the first few series but i wouldn't call it iconic.

The atmosphere will be even more underwelming now that the eviction set is the smallest it's ever been.

I mean compare the first five years on C4 to the first five years on C5, you had the House in Bow, then the BB3/4 exterior, and then the BB5 exterior which was completely different and they changed massively again for BB6 the following year. It wasn't really till the BB7-BB10 days where it didn't change all that much bar the BB8 long walkway but even then those minor changes they made every year (like BB7's diagonal walkway or the oval podium in BB9/10) is more than what C5 had done to the old set.

The crowd for BB11 was no bigger than usual it was just distributed differently. 200 people can look like a huge crowd if they're all concentrated and grouped into 1 area. But if they're split up by walkways and lighting rigs etc it will tend to look more sparce

It's the interior that counts.

I don't really care what the interior or exterior is like as long as there is good housemates
