BBAU 2025 house in Dreamworld Exhibition Centre

At the end of the day it’s the format and the casting that really matters. It’s jarring for sure but I think they’re trying to strike a balance between OG viewers while attracting newer audiences and we know the youngens these days are attracted to new and shiny.
 
I don’t hate it. I’ll grow on me.

But my initial thoughts about the layout, aesthetic and overall design being an almost exact copy-paste of the BBUK house (as well as the stage) makes me nervous. I really, really hope that’s where the comparisons end.
 
Alright… I’m happy with it! I almost didn’t want to watch and leave it for a surprise but probably hard to avoid now. We have a ceiling in the bedroom at the very least. Yes! I wonder if that’s one of the first things shown to shut up the whiners like me 😂 I don’t mind the colours/decor, not exactly my thing but neither was some of the old houses. I think they’ve done a great job with that space. The diary room chair ties in with the fish tank too 😉
 
The tiny mirrors spotted around are an interesting choice given the lack of camera runs. Hidden hot head cameras or manned cameras I wonder?

Also doesn’t look like they plastered the walls with hot heads like the UK.

The house will grow on me if they produce the actual show well. If they mess this up the show won’t be off to a good start.

Exactly. On Tiktok and Insta everyone is loving it, a few mentions of it being very ITV too.
 
I suppose I do not understand the need to produce this show with a “luxury” house like they seem to be doing now. Sometimes less it more. But the newer generation does seem to like things shiny and sparkly.

Should we be expecting pop music backing tracks in the edits now too?
 
It's a bit - pastel! Those screens in the living room are very Seven too in their final season when they dropped the superior screen wall.

Don't hate it but don't love it either.
