The Big Brother 9 House
Thursday, 5 June 2008
A dormitory-style bedroom and a super-bling bathroom – it’s a confusing world the Big Brother 9 housemates are living in.
They might think they’ve hit the jackpot with the Donald Trump meets P Diddy bathroom with its sumptuous gold and blue décor, but they’re not necessarily going to be sleeping in the lap of luxury.
This year’s brand new Big Brother house is the biggest ever. Once the housemates walk down the new entrance steps, they encounter a large carpeted living area filled with comfortable sofas and plush coverings, mixed with angular light-boxes and of course, the large dining room table.



The separate kitchen area is ultra modern with a triangular central island and stainless steel and wood bench tops.
A red theme runs throughout the kitchen with red and orange crockery, red walls and red and silver appliances.


The new bathroom is a souped-up sanctuary. A huge bath, complete with an ostentatious “swan” tap will be the ultimate retreat for housemates.
Surrounded by flowers, greenery, gold statues, plus aquamarine blue velvet sofas, housemates can relax and chill out in this extravagant area.




But there’s only so much a relaxing bath before bedtime can do when housemates have to sleep in ultra-basic beds.
With the kind of scratchy thin blankets more associated with budget camping holidays, and far-from-comfortable mattresses, it could be very difficult for some to get a good night’s sleep.
Adding to the dormitory atmosphere are “locker” walls and drawers more associated with school corridors than the Big Brother house. But what can it all mean?



At least the garden offers a touch more comfort with a central swimming pool, and more plants, flowers and greenery than ever before.
Lounge chairs and armchairs make the garden the perfect place to gossip, and for those wanting a more private gossip there’s even an enclosed seating area.
For the smokers of the house, there’s a surreal, Alice in Wonderland-proportioned giant “ashtray” for smokers to sit in.





Home sweet home? Maybe. Or maybe not.
