'No outside contact' might have gone out the window a long time ago but this is still a lot worse than anything that's gone before. Letting housemates know news from the outside world defeats the whole point of the BB experience, it keeps you in touch with current affairs, you're no longer isolated from what's going on in the real world. Might as well have BBC News 24 rolling all day and night in the house. I didn't like Hopkins having a column either, but her sending out information to the outside world from the house is different to receiving information from the outside world to the house.
