June 5th is when we will get to see the contestants of Big Brother 9, and this year does promise to be one of the best yet. Today we get our first glimpse inside the new Big Brother Nine house, and as you can from the slide show over at Times Online see it is both larger and bolder. If you are Liberace, then you will love the new decor.
Endemol, the producer of the controversial show has decided to make the house larger, as to accommodate more features. The living room is more lavish than ever, and there is a luxurious hot tub which is bound to cause many arguments. The bedroom has a military-style theme, as the beds are basic and the mattresses are very uncomfortable, this will cause many sleepless nights, and hopefully the new contestants will not stay in bed so long, as that is very boring for a show like this.
As always, in the garden is the pool and spa, and for those who smoke, there is a giant ashtray in the garden. Endemol are hoping that with the new lavish house and uncomfortable beds, it will help to spice things up in the house. Big Brother is in need of doing something different, as the last series saw a huge drop in ratings. Many thought that with the on-off romance with Ziggy Lichman and Channelle Hayes on Big Brother 8, ratings would have been higher than the 3.8 million average. It is thought that the drop in ratings was caused by many people turning their back on the show since Celebrity Big Brother, where a race row erupted, where it looked as though Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O’Meara seemed to gang up and attack Shilpa Shetty.
Is Big Brother 9 new house enough to save the show?
