Just read an AOL News article (don't know if non-AOLers can get at that) but the design of the house is ment to be tacky (sorry if this has been mentioned!)

“Big Brother House Shrinks
Solar panels on top of the Big Brother house remain - but the decor inside has changed
It's the smallest Big Brother house ever - and designed to make the contestants' lives as tough as possible.
The 12 inmates will find their new home has been shrunk into a claustrophobic and ugly space when they arrive on Friday.
The walls of the house have been painted a lurid green to make the atmosphere even more intense than previous years.
The stylish interiors of the past have been replaced with a beige carpet, stark lighting, and ugly decorations.
Designer Markus Blee, also behind Gordon Ramsay's newest restaurant for ITV1 reality show Hell's Kitchen, has been told to create "evil" for the inmates.
The walls have been painted with what looks like a series of bad sixth-form art projects. Dozens of casts of green hands are fixed to one wall, while another wall conjures up images of an unpleasant alien planet.
The space is so small that designers had to create a table which can be folded up and pushed away.
After last year's flop, this year's Big Brother will feature a series of stunts to make contestants' lives as tough as possible.
Producers want big rows between the group - and hope this will happen with the group living on top of each other during the 10-week Channel 4 show.
It's also thought this year's contestants include two couples, a witch, a male stripper and a former prostitute, in the hope of lifting ratings.
Executive producer Shirley Jones said: "The house is smaller. It's a lot more oppressive. The ceiling has been lowered in places and the floor has been raised."”
