Home Sweet Home

You'll be pleased to hear the Forum Sim Brother house is now available to view. All of it. Every room. Every nook. Every cranny.

The house contains, as usual, an open space living area that features a kitchen, dining area and lots of seats. The kitchen takes on a rocky theme, the dining area looks like it would be better suited to the outdoors and it all makes the seating area look boring in comparison. There's an interesting entrance to the Diary Room whilst a few bright seats are situated outside a great big glass window that looks into the bedroom. And then there are five great big multi-coloured blocks littered around the place.

The bedroom has a metallic theme and continues the rock theme from the kitchen with the duvet covers. Outside things are a bit more normal. Or maybe not. Whilst there's a nice decking area that surrounds a pool, it's all overlooked by massive haystacks and hay barrels. After some bushes and flowers there's the bathroom at the bottom of the garden. Two luxurious baths sit outside beside a water feature. The bathroom itself though is a little different. It takes on the theme of a pool - yes, a pool - and is based on a bedroom - yes, bedroom - from Big Brother USA. Confused? See it for yourself at the below link, along with all the other rooms.

And oh yes, there's the Diary Room. Jazzy little thing it is.

Forum Sim Brother is Back!

It's that time of year again! We're just 6 days away from the launch of Forum Sim Brother 9 so buckle up and prepare for one hell of a ride this summer. It's a year of big changes as the show has undergone its biggest revamp ever - but more on that later.

Firstly, auditions are still open and will remain open throughout the series. We're always on the look out for housemates and you never know when Forum Sim Brother will send in another housemate to mix things up in the forum. After you've auditioned you will receive a reply via email within 7 days.

Secondly, welcome to the brand new home of Forum Sim Brother. We've jazzed the place up with some pink and blue paint and given the website its best look ever. It's also more streamlined than ever before so you should have no problem finding what you're looking for. The news and housemates section are pretty self explanatory. The extras page is where you'll find everything else. It will be filled up with a live feed, task information, a house tour, videos and will be the home of Little Brother and Big Mouth this summer.

Last month we asked you to vote for your favourite bits of Forum Sim Brother. We've compiled the votes and created a shortlist. Cast your votes and we'll display the results on the website on Saturday 18th July.

Finally, as we promised, big changes are heading to Forum Sim Brother this year. We've already revealed the housemates will be building up - sometimes knocking down - and ultimately competing for a rather marvellous prize fund this year. Well, that's not all. Nominations and tasks are also being shaken and stirred but you'll have to come back later in the week to find out more!

Launch Night News

Join Forum Sim Brother live for the launch of the ninth series on Monday 20th July at 8pm. Ten housemates enter the forum where some will find themselves spending several weeks nominating fellow housemates, completing tasks and building up or knocking down a prize fund. But, not all is as it seems as Forum Sim Brother drops a bombshell on launch night.

Evictions this year change day. For the past eight series they have taken place on a Friday, but will this year move to Thursday evenings.

And don't worry, there's still time to audition if you haven't already. You still have 24 hours to audition - hurry!
