Now goddamit! - What are they doing? Are they taking this secret thing to far? Come on its like 8 days isnt it? Will it be tomorrow?

I don't think you can tell when from past experience, sometimes it has been 2 days before, sometimes 8 days before.

That said, I think this series seems to have been pushed back because of Britains Got Talent so I assume the house should be ready plenty of time before the start date.

Housemates are going into lockdown apparently, so pictures rumored to be appearing on Friday.

We tend to get all the major stuff at the weekends, usually Friday midnight I think, but house pic release days tends to vary greatly.

That's you just guessing.

Whenever the pics do get released, I hope they don't reveal the Diary Room. Up until BB8, they didn't show the Diary Room until launch night, but from BB9 onwards, they've shown it beforehand. The Diary Room is the most important room in every house and I think it makes it more exciting having to wait to see it on launch night.

I thought you were going to sugest that doing this may have jinxed the show lol.

Well I saw a photo posted by Rylan showing the new diary room chair which surprised me.

I hope they do release at least some pics by Friday...

LOL that was the CBB9 one.

To be honest, if the housemates haven't been in hiding for a couple of weeks now, then they haven't done their job properly.

Nope, just relaying what I read.

Actually I would rather they didn't now. I'd rather see them on the night.

I'd quite like to see what they've done with the house, though i'm not desperately waiting for them as I was when the show was on Channel 4.

If this Big Brother is all eco and recycling, maybe they will decide save some budget by recycling it and using it again. Don't think it would go down too well on here though.

Ive seen every series but I must have blacked out that chair then. Its hard because they kept using the shape like that on many BB chairs.

I think the reason im waiting for the pics is unlike the other years when we are just going to see a redecorated house with maybe a new kitchen this year they are calling it an 'Eco House'. I have been feeling they got a bit lazy over the years with the house design, and missed the eco style garden of the first few series.

Was it not mentioned a day or so ago that the house wasn't finished, specifically the bathroom. Presumably the test run was done in a prelimiary house set-up to test the camera angles (which are reportedly much changed this year).

We won't get pics until the final decor is completed (though in BB6 they changed the sofas after the house pics had been released).

The camera angles will be interesting. I just hope it kind of flows when switching between housemates and looks good on TV.

I would rather wait....tie it in to the secret and lies....same with the chair...wait until the night to reveal it!
