Well, apparently the HMs had occasional contact with producers and cameramen were regularly on site (pariculary in all the Basement challenges) so I think that got thrown out the window a while ago.

Noticed in last night's episode that the other bedroom is through the curtain, not camera run, which confirms that I was right lmaoooo

But even in Friday Night Games during the channel ten era there were camermen in the arena filming near housemates.

Yep you were correct on the purple cloth it’s been taken down and it’s got a remote camera sitting between the two bedrooms . However the black curtains are camera runs where there are no glass as I mentioned earlier.

They only see the lens, not the face of the person operating the cameras through the hatches. There’s 2 pieces of black fabric - one with a horizontal slit and one with a vertical slit to create a anus of sorts for the lens to pop through. Then they close the shutters in the backyard and rely on remote cameras when there’s nothing too important happening in production’s eyes
Really smart imo - it allows for far better cameras to be used and for a higher quality viewing experience all round. The mirrors were always so distracting.
Thank fuck they’re finally admitting to themselves they’re making a television show and stopped pussyfooting around a 20 year old format that was conceptualised when people weren’t as wired and still had reservations around reality television.

If it’s so much better to be point of being the preferred option why aren’t they using it in the whole house?

Probably because there’s fuck all space in the camera runs this time and the backyard has way more space to film into. Duh..
couldnt forget the ginger ninja!!
Isn't it funny how the Basement has floor-to-ceiling glass windows...
P.S. I know it physically isn't. But why call it that and not make it look like one? lol

Now the real purpose of the enclosed jet bridge (pictured below) comes out into the open. It did seem a little overkill just for Sonia to walk down.
I still think most the mirrors are there largely for asthetics rather than functionality - Endemol no longer specify the use of camera runs in Big Brother as remote cameras have come on so much. I suspect too where they are used they'd be remote cameras rather than cameramen behind them.
Anyhow, one effect I've noticed of the mirrors that I like is in the green room either side of the door does look like two eyes looking at you, similar to the Masked Singer logo. Actually think that green room would be better used for both the nominations and evictions - forces the housemates to site really closely together looking at each other.

That was originally the case but I really think by now they totally know they are being filmed. And that it is a game/competition - especially with this format allowing the strategy conversations.

It was an interesting idea that added to the social experiment when it was first implemented however is kind of irrelevant years on. There was equally just as much acting towards the mirrors as there ever was to the physical cameras... At the end of the day I don’t think it matters...
And Australia was I think the only version that ditched in-house cameras. Many other versions took the view it was important that housemates actually remembered they were being filmed by the presence of the cameras, though I think either way within a few days they just become part of the furniture.
Frankly now we're all potentially being filmed at any time anyway.

Yeah I have thought this as well. The eviction room seems pointless, apart from it being right next to the DR. Eviction show might not be live any more but it would speed up taping of it without them all having to traipse down the hall. But yes, the green room would have been perfect for it.

It's going be hard to really change this house around very much in (potential) future seasons. There's always going to have to be the hallway connecting the two sheds, the main living area is always going to have to be where it is to connect to the backyard, etc. The fundamental layout of the house is pretty much the only way it could be.
If the show is going to be renewed, I feel like another purpose build house would be a good investment for 7

Not necessarily. They can build between the sheds with rooms than corridors. Although I’d hope next year with more money they would do a better job then they did with the bathroom this year cause that’s shocking.
