I'd say the chances of one of the housemates knowing any of the victims is about 7,500,000/1

Well now you never know... still a chance!

when 9/11 happened BB USA informed a housemate of the attacks as a cousin of hers worked near to the towers, they said she had the option of telling her housemates.

There's always a chance.

I didnt know anything had happened. Got to bed around 6am and only just got up.

I'd say they'd tell one of them if they're affected and give them the option to leave or stay.

They're not allowed contact or to try make contact with the outside world and they're not allowed be told about current news or anything to do with the outside world.

They didnt postpone the eviction process in BB4, so they'll probably do the same this time (well terrorists want to disrupt everything and its giving in not to go about daily stuff and normal stuff). The eviction crowd was just smaller.

they will probably think something is up when no one shows up at the eviction tomorrow.

I don't know - I know someone who was caught up in it all!

My cousin lives just down the road from where the bus blew up (she is fine). My aunt was on a train that was stopped just before the train blew up, then got on to a bus and 5 minutes later the bus was stopped and searched.

So if they know someone who lives in London I'd say its quite likely they should know.

I think Big Brother will only tell the housemates if a family member or a close friend of theirs was injured or killed in the bombings. By the way isn't the Big Brother situated in or around London?

no the BB hosue is in the elstree studios (in borehamwood). no-where near central london. its out in hertfordshire, so i'd say it's pretty safe. the old BB house was in bow, in east london

BuffyBot

It's actually reasonably far out from London - Borehamwood in Hertfordshire to be exact

BB is a game show, what happend today is very serious real life, they should tell them simple as that.

I think that disrupting big brother would be giving in to the terrorists who did this. I do however hope that if friends or family of the housemates are affected that they immediately tell the relevent housemates affected.

Yes, if the housemates find out about the bombings, then the terrorists will have won... :rolleyes:

I don't why you're rolling your eyes at him. You now very well the point he was making. Any time everyday life is affected by terrorism the terrorists have won a small victory. That's the whole point of terrorism.

The point I was trying to make is that considering London has a population of 7.5 million it is very unlikely that any of the housemates will know anybody caught up in yesterday's tragedy. It's quite possible that some friends and family were affected indirectly due to the city grinding to a hault but the chances of some one they know being hurt, while possible, is highly unlikely.

I have a lot of family living in London myself and thank God everyone is ok.

Er, I don't think it is. The whole point of terrorism is to instill terror. "Disrupting" BB is not going to have any effect on anyone, it's a TV show for goodness sake. Yeah, I enjoy it, but if it's not on, I'm not going to go into mourning.

Let it go, man, this is not the forum for it.

Huh? Let what go?
You were the one that started flaming another poster and I'm just letting you
know that you're wrong.
And what do you mean "wrong forum"? Someone asked a question about how this incident will affect the BB House and people are giving their opinions.

You're right about BB being a just a TV show, however it is part of modern culture and everyday life and if that or any other form of entertainment, i.e. concert or sporting event had to be cancelled due to terrorism it would be a victory for the terrorists. You can disagree if you wish, that's your perogative, but I still think you are wrong.

BB and the whole team involved in it made the decision not to tell them. Considering they're not supposed to know anything aobut whats happening outside the house, they're just continuing with that.

They'll probably cut down the crowd or just have a studio audience. They might only tell them after the interview when they've stopped televising.

None of the family or friends of any of the housemates were hurt, BB found out after contacting them yesterday.

But it was a small insignificant act. WHo cares?
