There are set to be a number of changes to the Big Brother show compared to the last time, but will contestants be allowed to take a nap during the day.

This sounds like good news imo. Producers allowing them to nap gives evidence that they wont be messing with storylines or anything ?

Good then they can stay up really late and entertain us.

Lol. That’s the one.

That's a relief to know this, especially if everyone's gonna be watching the 2 hour feeds on ITVX after every episode.

I know that since Big Brother: Over The Top (Autumn 2016) here in the US, we've had a no napping rule.

The BB format we have here in the US is deplorable and I’m so excited I get to tune back in every day to a new UK series starting this weekend!

Change the record.

Also, the article doesn't state it will be allowed - it's bad grammar on their part. It's saying they used to have a nap ban - will they this time? They don't actually know one way or the other.

They should have access to music as well .. maybe even news snippets

No thanks. "No contact with the outside world" should also extend to "no information from the outside world" (unless in extreme circumstances).

Music should be a luxury/reward if they win tasks, etc.

What’s the benefit of keeping the news from them ?

It would give them more topics of conversation which has to be a bonus

It'll make them even more cut off from the outside world.

To what end .. how does keeping them bored stiff make for a better viewer experience ?


One of the highlights for me was in one of the earlier series where they had a home made ping pong competition using frying pans and rolled up tinfoil or something

I don’t see how having them bored rigid and having nothing new to talk about makes for a better viewer experience

Hopefully viewers won't feel like napping.

It also says at the bottom of the article a quote from bb 18's Deborah

"You’re not allowed to sleep during the day, that is the number one rule,” she explained. “Because you are filming, if you’re sleeping there’s no content.”

It remains to be seen if this rule carries over to the ITV reboot of Big Brother or if it will actually be addressed when the show is on, but it is possible it will be kept in place.

So its just a misleading headline and they don't actually know

[Babayaro.]

Good. I never understood why they wouldn’t be allowed to nap during the day. Fair enough if there is a task that requires everyone to take part but I can’t imagine it’s easy to get a good night’s sleep in a place like the BB house so this is a good move IMO.

[bots]

Obviously, they don't want them napping during a task, but i think the no napping rule came from the time we had 24 hour live feed. A recorded show, it doesn't matter a toss if they are asleep during the day or not. However, if some sleep a lot they will soon get booted out as the others will get more air time

[Sawyer]

This article doesn't say that will be allowed to nap on the ITV series - it questions whether they will or not and then talks about previous housemates' experience

They shouldn’t have any contact with the outside world in any form. Conversations about things will happen naturally they don’t need the Daily Mirror being dropped on the doorstep every morning to create discussions.

There must be a cut off point where they run out of things to discuss .. being closed off together 24/7 for 6 weeks

I’m just suggesting they give them a few pointers or conversation starters

They managed for the last 19+ seasons, some of which ran for 10-12 weeks.
