So does everyone in it so far live together? I'm not surprised with Pete and Sophie, or Ellie and Izzy, plus the couples. However, do Jenny and Lee really share that mobile home?
The other pair who have come into their own recently are Dave and Shirley. They differed the other night on whether they could remember ever having a bath together.

I love Dave and Sherley. The accent is a win for me anyway, but generally think they are great.

I think she doesn't usually live there but she did turn up with a suitcase a few episodes ago. Also if he or either of them live alone then they're allowed to bubble.

In one episode last year it was mentioned that Jenny moved in with Lee for the filming period, and they were always bickering about stuff like her shaving her legs in the shower.
Not sure if that would usually be allowed, but it is work, so maybe that makes a difference. Seems careful enough to me. They're probably just bubbling now.
Dunno how the Siddiquis are managing it, but I assume they've found some way to be legal because people would definitely dob them in if they weren't.
I'm sure they've been in a different house in the last couple of series. It's possible that they and their families are cohabiting. Is Mummy Siddiqui still around?

I delivered Mary and Marina's post over the Christmas/ New Year period. Even got a "Good Morning" from Marina.
Their old people's home was in full lockdown so not surprised they aren't on it again yet.

There's some sort of get out clause for anyone with a child under the age of one. Do any of the brothers have little ones?
It's work, so maybe they're allowed to? I feel like you're all suspending disbelief a bit too much.

It's basically a very large, very nice building of self contained flats (over 100 of them) but there is always staff available 24/7. They have a restaurant, a hair dressers, activitity rooms and a roof garden.They can also have meals cooked and delivered to them like room service. Oh and they have a bowling green and snooker table. Bloody lovely place to retire to.

At least a couple of them do, so they could be in a childcare bubble, and if the Dad lives alone, or only with someone (ie his wife or whatever) who's disabled then they're allowed to bubble too. That sounds like a lot of exceptions, but it's not really.
Pretty sure someone would have eagerly dobbed them in if they were breaking the rules.
C4 make a big point just before the show that everyone is adhering to the rules, so I presume their lawyers have checked.

They lost their mum day before yesterday. If they aren't on this week, that's why.
Aw, that's sad. I fully understand if they do opt out, especially given how a lot this week's programme is probably going to feature a lot of another passing.
According to the Sun (via a Beeb link), the BBC broke its record for complaints on Friday night because of its Prince Philip cum-fest. Tellingly, Gogglebox, one of the programmes that wasn't shifted and contained almost no mention of the death, got the highest ratings of the night for any channel.
Be interesting to see this week's Gogglebox, because they broadcast it on a Friday, so realistically, it can't have any of that Friday's telly, as seen by our Goggleboxers. So presumably, they have to do it in the week up to Thursday, and then their bits are all edited together on the Friday, to make the programme we see.
I know that Craig Cash must record his opening line of "In the week when X person died, we watched some great telleh" pretty close to the transmission time, because he said Prince Philip on Friday.
I wonder if they will have any of the Goggleboxers complaining about the the Masterchef Final being cancelled.

“In the week we lost Queen Elizabeth, we watched some great telly. Most of it about her late husband”.
