My understanding is that the pilot wave theory is a non-local hidden variable theory, which doesn't contradict Bell's theorem at all. Of course, this presents ftl information transfer, presumed to be impossible, which is part of the reason such theories have been unpopular for so long.
This is a vitally important point. Many people still naively believe entanglement allows communication. Simultaneous randomness doesn't permit a signal.

Non-locality does not imply the possibility of FTL information transfer - a theory can be non-local but make exploiting the non-locality impossible.
