Gone are the days...
 

.... where HMs had absolutely no idea what was going on in the 'outside world'.

It was part of the experience, and now it's gone.

It would be nice to see less outside communication as the housemates are given too much information in the house, it sort of spoils it

It completely spoils it. There used to be punishment for talking about the outside if you came in halfway.

Reminds me of this iconic moment

Wow I am surprised the housemates were told about a celebrity's death
