Besides, the rule about writing materials is about communication with other HMs and discussing nominations:
"It is against the rules for housemates to discuss their nominations with each other. This includes:
...
Writing down or using materials at your disposal to form names, initials or other symbols – this is why the use of pens, pencils or any written communication is strictly against the rules."
BB could feel that submitting a column from a separate room does not raise the same danger of clandestine communication with other HMs re nominations.
BTW, I think Keith is playing the game hard, now that he's facing the vote.”
She's writing her column while in the House, that's communicating with the OUTSIDE, it's doesn't matter how she's doing it , it's the fact she's doing it at all.
The idea of BB is that the HMs are confined in that house without any other stimulation, which is the whole point of the social experiment. There may not be anyone communicating directly with her, but it gives her something else to occupy her mind, and concentrate on , and not get cabin fever and take it out on the other HMs (which a lot of them do as a result of being in that House and having to just live in that space with other HMs)......, so that's why I think it's not on.
We've seen her interview/question other HMs , like she did Patsy, obviously for some info to put in her column, so she has something to help pass the time in there, the others don't, they're left to their own devices. But they've allowed her to do it, so not much point discussing it, it's just that I disagree with that. And Keith clearly has a problem with it too, wonder if any of the others do.
