Ah, the elephant in the castle. With all that forced proximity and no phones, you’d think showmances would be inevitable. And they are! But producers have confirmed that contestants are moved to separate single rooms if things get too cozy. The official rule? “No sleeping in someone else’s bed.” It’s like summer camp for adults—with stricter rules about bunking.
Still, it happens. In the US version, one pair famously tried to sneak around. The crew apparently found them in a broom closet. A broom closet! In a castle with 100 rooms. Priorities, people.
So next time you’re watching a dramatic banishment scene, remember: those players are just a few doors down from each other. They brush their teeth next to the person they’re about to accuse. And then they go back to their heated, clockless rooms to try and sleep while questioning reality. Honestly, it sounds exhausting—but also kind of the best sleepover ever.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to check my own room for hidden microphones. You never know.
