Lady Calypso January 30, 2018 Share January 30, 2018 So, the whole house tour is up already. I haven't gotten a chance to actually watch it, but I caught a picture of the backyard...or, 'backyard': I get that they'd be tearing down comps almost daily, so this is the only way to allow the houseguests to actually be outside, but damn, I feel claustrophobic just looking at it. ETA: Here is another video of the other part of the house Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6797-bb-in-the-media-outside-the-fishbowl/page/31/#findComment-4012474
peachmangosteen January 30, 2018 Share January 30, 2018 That is claustrophobic. I feel like someone is gonna lose their mind, which might be fun lol. But damn, the house in beautiful imo. The HOH bed is huge. I wish we could see the bedrooms. I wonder if they're gonna do HNs. I assume not.

BB seems to enjoy that twist in recent years. As for the house itself, I definitely feel like the backyard would give me claustrophobia, but I understand why they had to design it that way. I'd just go outside when there was nobody else out there. Also, luckily, there's only a few houseguests, so it wouldn't get too crowded. I am very into the Speakeasy room AKA the APSR. It looks so much bigger than it usually is. I swear they expanded it. Overall, I like how they rearranged the house and added some different additions. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6797-bb-in-the-media-outside-the-fishbowl/page/31/#findComment-4012999
TVFan17 January 31, 2018 Share January 31, 2018 I will still watch this season, just as I have watched every single season of BB since it began (including BBOTT), but it seems like such a stupid, pointless endeavor. I mean, seriously... 2-1/2 weeks and that's it? Not even one full month, let alone 3 months. (How long are the celebrity seasons in other countries? Are they just as short?) Those 2-1/2 weeks will be over in no time. It seems like there's no time for anything good to evolve in 2-1/2 weeks. I could deal with my worst enemy for only 2-1/2 weeks (or less). And these people aren't having to suffer with most of the things that the regular non-celeb houseguests have to deal with, such as uncomfortable beds., round tables and -- gasp!! -- regular old coffee makers. But the house looks very nice, and I like all of the different themed touches. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6797-bb-in-the-media-outside-the-fishbowl/page/31/#findComment-4014243

A few weeks ago, while reading some crap on a tabloid site, I saw a link on the sidebar that said Farrah Abraham from Teen Mom had signed on to CBB. When I clicked on it, it took me to a web address that had Farrah's name in it, but then reverted to the homepage. It could have been clickbait but I think it was deleted because of the redirect. She was on the British version and she thinks she is the "number one female celebrity in the U.S.*" because she's mentally ill along with being mean and hateful, so she would definitely be someone Kass would want to cast. She may have been kicked off for giving an interview that she was hired. *I didn't get that quote right but didn't want to search for it because reading her writing causes brain cells to die. I would think that it would have been seared into my brain for being one of the stupidest things I had ever heard, but when I typed it I realized it wasn't butchering the English language enough to be correct. Apparently, my brain tried to fix it for me. She has given interviews where she says that she has surpassed Kim Kardashian in fame. I've never watched Kim's show but know who she is. Farrah is only known by those of us who watch TM which is a few million people. The delusion runs deep in Farrah but it's rarely fun to watch.

HurricaneVal February 5, 2018 Share February 5, 2018 I looked at the house photos and the videos, and I have to ask... Did they completely swap the house layout around in the living area? I seem to remember the sliding doors to outside open to the dining room (with the round table) with the kitchen along the back wall next to the diary room door. But the photos clearly show the sliding doors adjacent to the kitchen area. The living room looks swapped to me too, with the "chairs of doom" back by the back wall and the big video monitor on the "outside" wall. Am I seeing things, or mis-remembering things?
