I agree they sign up for BB and a rule is no contact with the outside World, however already Lydia has for her Birthday had a phone call from her boyfriend and not a landmark Birthday either.

England rarely ever get to finals of tournaments and the OP asked should they be allowed to watch the final if they get there, not any matches up to the final.
I would have come down on the side of if they wanted to, yes, they could watch the actual final if England made it to the final.

A couple of hours out of 10 weeks or so shouldn't matter and if they wanted to support England they should be permitted to.
Even prisoners in prison are likely to get the chance to watch the Euro 2012 final whether England are there or not, so for housemates in a reality show, I say yes for that 'one off' occasion 'if' England are one of the final teams.

[Munchkins]

No :P
I have avoided football completely, i dont want to see it on my favourite show xD

[armand.kay]

No! If I wanted to watch people watch football I would watch my family.

[Ramsay]

they watched the world cup match with germany in BB11 so why not

[Jords]

I voted yeah.. its just a footy match not like during half time theyre all gonna talk about the HMs LOL.

[Raph]

Yes. Didn't they let them watch a world cup game back in Big Brother 11 as well? It's quite a nice moment and if England make the finals, by all means the housemates should be able to grace such a success for the nation

[Callum]

No

[Livia]

No! Whatever next... maybe let them watch the soaps because there's a particularly interesting storyline...?

This! Why should they allow them to watch football just because this country is obsessed with it.

[Ramsay]

getting to the final of a major sporting event for the first time in 46 years can hardly be compared to a soap

When hurricane Katrina hit, the US BB hm's were not told, and some of them had friends and family living in the impacted areas. Does it compare to that?

I don't think that's entirely true, because I clearly remember when 9/11 happened a housemate was told about it and was told that her cousin was in the one of the Towers either when impact was made or it had collapsed.

They do notify you if it's serious.

Why thank you. I have a thing for female rappers you see.

[King Gizzard]

and I don't think they should have been shown previous tournaments either for the record

[Johnnyuk123]

Yes BUT only the girls!

[Marcus.]

still 0-0

[Jords]

Im switching to and fro

[Marcus.]

i am got the footy and lloking on the from about big brother

[tweetypiebabe1]

YES! Because I'm a football fan and although I'm not an England fan I think, provided they've done a task, either a few housemates or the entire house should get to watch

[Maia]

Yes it's happened before with smaller matches

[Sophiee]

they should most definitely be.

[Saph]

I really don't know why people think the football is so important Its a sport... a sport... it really does completely baffle me.

[JeanP!]

It's over

[Patrick]

No. Football is irrelevant.

Stick on UFC for Arron.
