Big Brother 9

Looks like they're staying at Elstree - it's certainly confirmed they are there for BB9.

That's half the problem IMO - not only have they outgrown the space available, but the restrictions put in place on the use of the crowd are now beginning to hamper the show.


Firstly, they're only allowed 22 shows a year, of which only 5 can't be on a Friday. That means during Celeb BB the show doesn't get the 2 or 3 evictions a week it needs, which has impacted on the last couple of series, leaving too many in the final.

Secondly, on Friday's they have to be finished by 11pm, which is generally OK but means a time delay on the final of a few minutes. The major problem is every other night they're not allowed a crowd after 10pm, so any show running past 10pm has to be on a time-delay - and similarly due to the watershed so does any show before 9pm, not to mention the censorship to cut out swearing etc.

Basically the programme is very stale and the production team have got to be prepared to do something drastic (what that will be now, who knows!) or axe it in favour of something else.

Maybe they should look for a real house, something along the lines of the one used for Fame Academy. Saying that, I think I'd prefer to watch live streaming of that where they've actually got something to do rather than people sat in a garden.

Yeah but it's good to have it designed.I mean,the BB6 house looked really cool.

I liked the BB3 house, it was so spacious and trendy.
