@@AlexHobern Haven't watched your 2nd vid yet, but you surely have to watch at least the first episode to get an angle on the degree of editing.

[@pauk.w]

I'd love to know more about the chat limits! Is it a straight forward limit of X conversations for X minutes a day? Are you not allowed to repeatedly talk to the same people? A lot of the chats seem to be 2-3 questions then done! Is that the edit, or were some chats limited to 5-10 mins? Are you ever directed who to start a conversation with? Such as someone you haven't spoken to in a while, or to put together the relevant connections for whatever the current drama is? And what is the deal with the diary room? You clearly go there a fair bit, but it's hardly used in the final edit. Maybe 2 or 3 times over the entire course of the first series, and once so far this series. It seems like the diary room is the very last resort for the director/editors. Did producers ask you questions about the topics of the day in case it was needed for the edit? Or was it more of a welfare issue with making sure you were feeling okay? Did you get to speak to people face to face in there or is it more like the Big Brother diary room (an isolated booth with camera and speakers)?

I noticed in season 2 that there's a discussion between Tim & someone else, and the editing made it look as if Tim could hear the other person, because he nodded as the other person spoke. Could be editing, could just be Tim.

I’m used to isolation so I’ll do very well if I was there 😁

Are all new players who join during the series already in isolation before the start of the show? If so are they in the same building already?
