BBAU 2025 house at Dreamworld Exhibition Centre

Great pic but the fact they're still there fills me with fear we'll get another season in this set.

I’m not sure we will - Dreamworld will want to have their Exhibition centre back and I think it’d be tricky given the layout of the house to keep any of the build in situ.

I know people have said the house “feels small” - I actually felt like the bedroom and living/kitchen/dining area felt pretty spacious (but eh, I live in a small 2BR unit). When you go into the house and get a feel for the scale and layout of it, it doesn’t feel like something that could be left in part between now and a 2026 season in 6+ months without being pretty disruptive to Dreamworld’s functions.

It looked pretty spacious on TV (but that's not a good measure), but pre launch when the influencers went in Ben N*rris commented on how big it was, he seemed surprised.

Fingers crossed this set will be dismantled immediately following the end of the tours.

One other thing I don’t think has been noted.

Two of the bed heads (on the right side of the bedroom as you enter from the hallway) had initials written on them - suspect this was in makeup as finger tracing wouldn’t have the same effect. Think this was Emily and Allana’s beds? (“Em ” and “AJ”)

Yeah, this was my first house tour - so maybe someone who has done a few over the years (@Zcsund1234 ?) can better speak to this.

my girlfriend also raised a good point about the warehouse setting - the lack of the roof was pretty jarring and definitely made the place feel like a set. We agreed that you’d be pretty conscious of staying “on” and mindful you were being filmed. I get it’s a small thing, but I feel like the houses of old that were all camera runs and roofing would’ve been much more disarming.

The house so obviously being a set is much more of a contribution to that than there being visible cameras.

Almost certainly will. It's a set - it'll be taken down and reassembled for the next series. That's what happens with BBUK now. Even if they move location they'll probably take the set with them.

BB Canada moved I think three times over it's run but their house was so much better. The first time they moved they made significant changes adding a second floor but keeping the same ground floor layout, but the second and third time the changes were barely noticeable.

BBCAN’s second house is easily one of my favourite houses of all time and the theming was almost always top tier. That said it’s a shame they don’t rework the ground floor to make better use of the War Room or the pool area once it was removed.

Mia just did an Instagram Q&A. I asked if the lack of ceilings were as distracting as they were for me and she kind of gave the most validating response possible:

“It actually reminded me that we were on a tv show ”
