Big Brother 11 house tour info and my thoughts on this season’s house.
July 5th, 2009Below you can watch the Big Brother house tour with Julie Chen. Quirkydude has come through as usual with a great copy of the video saving me the hassle of capturing it and posting it myself. Here are a few of the interesting points you can catch in the video and my thoughts.
Same layout as the most recent seasons – no new room or anything. The farthest back bedroom was not revealed on the tour but it was teased and seems to be a very cold / sterile type of room. And what I always think of as the ‘Gold’ bedroom (from season 6) and was a boat bedroom last season is all tiled as if you are under a pool. The acoustics in that room have got to stink!
Only one of the two showers has hot water – and Julie implied if you lost a food challenge you have to use that side all week (and may have to sleep in the ‘bad’ bedroom.
There is a very heavy ‘recycling’ or ‘green’ theme in the house but I have to be honest and say it all seems like just another excuse for design. I mean Julie will tell you that the plastic plants are green because they require no water? How about real plants that would produce oxygen? And plastc is made from petroleum products. There will also be a portable garden in the back yard – it will be interesting to see if they can keep the stuff alive.
The workout room has two stationary bikes in it – seems like a step down from the elliptical they have had in there before.
Also out back are a couple solar powered lamps, of course there is no way the two little lights will offset the energy used by the lights needed for the cameras but I guess they would argue it is getting the green message out
Some things that are the same outside – the hammock, hot tub, pool and pool table all back again this season in the back yard.
Anyways – those are a few thoughts – check out the video for yourself below – and be sure to sign up for the live feeds before the early bird special ends July 8th!
