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

This has nothing to do with keeping real world news from them.

They can generate their own conversations. That's sorta the whole point of the show. Isolation. People creating their own drama and conversation.

Maybe they should at least try a few news items to see what the result is ..

Again…. To what end ?!

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

Yes, clearly that was the issue.

They're a bunch of strangers, they'll have their whole life's worth of stories to tell eachother, not to mention talking about eachother, tasks, guessing what the public think, what BB has in store for them..

Yeah I get that .. I’ve watched it throughout

I’ve always felt they were too stifled
