A week to go...

In a week from now the housemates will have entered the Big Brother house for the 5th series of the show - and there's bound to be some differences from how it's happened previously.
The shows producers are making a point about how "Big Brother Gets Evil" and how the show is all part of their "Black Friday" line-up on May 28th. It'd seem that this year they're going to be much harder on the housemates, with a smaller house, and less comfortable furniture - all aimed at making them bitch at each other and blow their tops, all in the name of excellent TV viewing.
A few more photos of the house, both inside and out, have been revealed in another advert shown tonight, including another view of the clothes mangle out in the garden, and what appears to be sliding doors on the part of the house which the News of The World's plans pointed to being the bedroom area.

It's also rumoured that both power and water will be turned off at random times, without notice - all in the effort to piss housemates off and make them get angry, get stressed out, and wish they'd never have applied to be on the show. It certainly sounds as though it'll weed out the wannabe celebs from the real contestants who are there to experience life living under the eye of Big Brother 24 hours a day.

Doesn't look like they've made the house completely uncomfortable though - the four-piece blue sofa has cushions, and as seen in other photos there's both a pool and pamper pools or mud baths, so there's a few "luxuries" for the housemates... although will they be made to win the rewards by providing some entertainment and sacrifices...?
Big Brother 5 starts on May 28th, and there's highlights from the past 4 years on Channel 4 from Tuesday.
