I wonder if they still legitimately go into hiding.

I was watching bits and bobs of launches BB5-BB8, and Davina would say they've been in hiding for two weeks, in hidden locations around the country, and have been stripped apart from their phones, TV's, internet, and the papers, and have no idea what the house looks like or what the theme is, etc.

Heck, even for BB5 they were hidden abroad in Belgium, for two weeks.

I imagine these days, they go into hiding about 3 days before the launch, and are put into different rooms at the same hotel, which is about a 5 minute drive from the BB house, and have every idea of what the house looks like, and what's in store for them.

They go in hiding around a week or a week and a half before launch I think, and I think they are put in hiding just before the house pictures are revealed.

The only things C5 housemates seem to know as they go in is what the logo looks like and the theme of the series *remembers Jack and Joe mentioning "Secrets and Lies" every episode of BB14*

Ah right.
That's still too much, IMO.

It's always good to go in hiding before the theme is revealed, so they have no idea what to expect.
