"small" bedroom Claustrophobia alert! This two-sizes-too-small room has five beds that are only 5 feet long and is filled with low-to-the-ground child-size chairs "Essentially (they'll be) lilving in a dollhouse," says Grodner.

"Large bedroom" A peek into this oversized room with enormous, shoulder-height beds, "To get to the top drawer of the dresser you have to climb up steps," explains Grodner.

Bathroom! The lavish blue bathroom could become the cool new hangout, if the houstguests can ignore the lion-shaped waters pounts in the shower.

Astroturf yard with chessboard and spinning teacup and the inevitable weight bench. Like Alice in Wonderland's tea party (ed. thought it was Mad Hatter's Tea Party), this season's house has a giant spinning teacup, and perhaps as a nod to Alice's sequel Through the Looking Glass, a big outdoor chessboard. Hmm, maybe that explains all those mirrors in the house, too...

Pool and topiaries The front and back yards have some gorgeous topiaries and flowers, which Grodner compares to "an English garden meets Edward Scissorhands"

Yea I love it! At least we will have pleasing background to watch the guests in even when they are not so interesting.

Am I the only one who thinks this decor is hideous? I just can't see the hamsters in this house...much too fancy (not my taste at all) for their bathing suits, which is what they practically live in.

I love the color scheme, it's much better than last year's dull colors. I don't know about those lawn animals though... they kind of freak me out. Seeing house pics gives me warm fuzzy feelings inside.

I also think the color scheme is much easier on our eyes...but Cricket...I agree with you, the house is much too ornate for the bikini clad LA gang...or for the red neck from Timbucktoo...and the crawling through the doors...nope, I don't think the hamsters will be pleased. And although a designers touch, those hugh chess boards really are more of a conversation piece than they are for function. Hanging out in that bathroom...EEKS!

I like it far more than last year. I think it looks interesting. As I said in another thread, if it drives the houseguests crazy …. LOL that works for me! I think it could be fun!

I did see 14 bowls around the dining room table so it will be 14 this year. Cricket, I am so with you on the decor. Not my cup of tea ;) so to speak but can't wait to see the hamsters as they race in to get their beds. Do they have to crawl through the door on hands and knees to the small bedroom? Oh someone is really sick with this theme and it should make for a very interesting and fun season.

It is 14. The new commercial confirms that.

Nynana...those are tea-cups, not bowls. Look closely. I love the new decor and think it will keep the new hamsters a little off kilter, and that's a good thing. Thank you SO much for posting those, Seamonkey. You gave me my first Big Brother 8 tingle. whoo hoo

"White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Recall Alice When she was just small When men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said: "FEED your head"

ok this is too fun... "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." Sure can relate that quote with BB lol

I like the colours, but I really don't care that much about the house--it's the hamsters going nuts that I enjoy.
