Revealed: The New Big Brother House
A dormitory-style bedroom and a super-bling bathroom – it’s a confusing world the
Big Brother 9 housemates are soon to be entering. They might think they’ve hit the jackpot with the Donald Trump meets P Diddy bathroom with its sumptuous gold and blue décor, but they’re not necessarily going to be sleeping in the lap of luxury.
This year’s brand new Big Brother house is the biggest ever. Once the housemates walk down the new entrance steps, they’ll encounter a large carpeted living area filled with comfortable sofas and plush coverings, mixed with angular light-boxes and of course, the large dining room table.
The separate kitchen area is ultra modern with a triangular central island and stainless steel and wood bench tops. A red theme runs throughout the kitchen with red and orange crockery, red walls and red and silver appliances.
The new bathroom is a souped-up sanctuary. A huge bath, complete with an ostentatious “swan” tap will be the ultimate retreat for housemates. Surrounded by flowers, greenery, gold statues, plus aquamarine blue velvet sofas, housemates will be able to relax and chill out in this extravagant area.
But there’s only so much a relaxing bath before bedtime can do when housemates have to sleep in ultra-basic beds. With the kind of scratchy thin blankets more associated with budget camping holidays, and far-from-comfortable mattresses, it could be very difficult for some to get a good night’s sleep. Adding to the dormitory atmosphere are “locker” walls and drawers more associated with school corridors than the Big Brother house. But what can it all mean?
At least the garden offers a touch more comfort with a central swimming pool, and more plants, flowers and greenery than ever before. Lounge chairs and armchairs make the garden the perfect place to gossip, and for those wanting a more private gossip there’s even an enclosed seating area. For the smokers of the house, there’s a surreal, Alice in Wonderland-proportioned giant “ashtray” for smokers to sit in.
It’s going to be very different from what the housemates have known before or are every likely to live in again. Home sweet home? Maybe. Or maybe not.
I love the giant ash tray – very clever! The bathroom is rank!

Bet they will do their usual trick of there not being enough beds for everyone. Mind you sleeping on the floor might be better than those beds.

Well the decor is interesting to say the least, but the big question is: Will the clan that go in the house meet up to the standards of the bizarre surroundings?! …hope so!!!!!!

House looks great, but feel sorry for the housemates already judging by those beds!

Lets all hope for once there will be lots of excitement without reference to personalities or colour. Surely the people chosen will have sufficient intelligence to realise the one and only way to win is to keep cool and avoid any confrontation, as with all confrontation there are only losers and no winners.

The house looks fab, a good taste with a kick, different aspects like the housemates, it will be interesting and good viewing in due course. I reckon a few spats too. Good thinking Big Bro!!!!

Comment by joyce — June 7, 2008 @ 10:28 am
oh dear BB what are you doing to these folks poor backs?..those wafer thin beds are the pits!! As for the attempt at the lux look of the bathroom..well its cheap n nasty and the lack the of Cupid statues is maybe its saving grace ..the bath does looks beautiful..but not so the snug outdoor pool .. the Big Ashtray is a definate statement eh? Hate the wild outdoor walls. Love the crazy Kitchen..so very interesting, of course practicality is not the name of the game here…but well done BB..not a restful area in the place.. yes another expensive eyesore has been created!!
