Should it not read "fewer than 16 viewers" as well? There must be some way that is within the scope of Wiki to include that fact that the program is so boring that the "live feed" can sometimes show "a spiderweb with a spider in it" as "the most interesting thing going on at the moment?" There must be some reviews out there some where thay liken the program to watching paint dry, dead grass grow or so on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bat Flattery ( talk • contribs) 21:03, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Are the rules of the game posted anywhere?
Here are some of the questions I have about the rules of the game:
1) What happens when they are down to the final 3? Is there still a HOH and a Veto?
2) Who decides who wins? It is a vote from the Jury? Do they get to watch the cams or have they been in the dark since they left?
3) If in the final four two people get put on the block then one of the block members wins veto I would assume that the remaining person automatically gets put on the block ( assuming they use it to save themselves ). Who then gets to vote? Only the one taken off the block? Basically meaning that the Veto winner of the final four gets to vote off the person of their choice ( other than the HOH and themself ) It almost makes the block pointless right?
Anyway can someone answer these?

4) Where do the housmates go when they ae evicted, why are they not let out into the normal world like in bigbrother uk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.89.236 ( talk) 18:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
It's not great, but I put it in the variation of format section. If anybody else can make it look better, it would be much appreciated. MadMagFreak 05:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
What does "used name" mean in this section? I came here to learn about the show, and this terminology in the Twin's Section is very mystifying to me. I hope that someone can edit this section to make this clear to a non-fan. 75.211.67.86 ( talk) 14:09, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I just figured this out while reading the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(U.S.) page. Apparently the twins played as "one player" and swapped places during the game/show. This should be explained in this listing. 75.211.67.86 ( talk) 14:35, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I am in the process of cleaning up the article in hope of decreasing its size and removing that annoying tag on the front. You can see my current progress at my Sandbox.

How can we clean-up the article? It seems like the variation part is too long. Maybe for the UK twists, we can do what we did with the battle house, and write the UK twisst as a list in bullet point form, and then add versions which used those twist for each bullet point.

I have reverted the page a couple of times today as Season 7 of BB USA was listed twice in the table - together with the other standard BB USA editions and also underneath as an All Star edition. It has always been listed on the page as an All Star edition. But in any case it should not be listed twice which is why I reverted it. Sorry if I have caused an "edit war" or offended anyone, it was not my intention. Worldofbb ( talk) 22:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
In the American version, the broadcaster counts the All-Stars edition as Season 7. However, other countries count their All-Stars version as a seperate edition of Big Brother and it doesn't count towards their main edition. It was decided when back when there was a seperate article for spin-off editions that the seventh season of the American version would not be counted as a main edition, it would be counted along with the spin-off editions. [1]. Now when the tables were merged the seventh season is still counted seperate from the main editions because it is an "All-Stars" version of the American edition. The main editions (seasons with new people each year) are listed as 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10 with 7 omitted because it is listed down with the "All-Stars" edition and repeating it twice is redundant and makes the article bigger. Due to the previous discussion if anyone merges the two sections on the table for Big Brother US together or list Season 7 in both the main edition section and the All-Stars section will be counted as vandalism. If you feel this should be changed discuss it first. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 01:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
E4, which is a network belonging to UK TV network channel 4, have announced a zombie horror show based directly on the franchise. Called "Dead Set" it is about a zombie outbreak that happens outside of the house and the contestants are in the only safe place.

I think Big Brother made a big deal of controversy which should be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.2.25.38 ( talk) 21:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
I don't believe the derivative series "Loft Story", listed as being produced in Canada and France, should be included here. Loft Story, to me knowledge, is not connected to Big Brother in any way and is simply an adaptation of the format. In fact the Wikipedia article on Canada's version says nothing about it being part of the Big Brother franchise. I say it should be removed from the charts and general discussion and replaced with a See Also link. Are there other versions listed here that aren't really Big Brother? 68.146.62.92 ( talk) 13:35, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Big Brother is a awful, pointless tv programme, it taes up valuable tv time alll they do is spy on cluelesss contestants in a big house while, the contestants triumphantly try and win the big cash prize.

I've removed bold and italic from the table in words such as "upcoming season" because it goes against Wikipedia's manual of style. I started making further cleanups, but haven't finished. This includes using italics for titles (everything under "Local title" should be italic) and making sure the word "season" is in lower case (where it appears after a presenter's name). Does anyone have objections? Especially to the removal of bold (the other stuff should be fine). – Anemone Projectors– 15:59, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
This article was tagged for (among other things) copyediting, and one of a copy editor's jobs is to bring an article into compliance with the
Manual of Style.
MOS:FLAG states, "Do not emphasize nationality without good reason"
and "Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth, residence or death"
. It took me several days to painstakingly copyedit this article; if it's tagged again for copyediting, I suggest removing the {{
copy edit}} tag from the article, tagging the talk page with {{
GOCEreviewed}} and moving on. Don't waste your time, as I did.

This is a major aspect of the series, so I added a line in "Overview" about this. Although I didn't add a source, it's easily verifiable that sexual relationships do occur and how much is shown varies - US Big Brother shows nothing, whereas some of the European versions broadcast pretty much everything, or their Net feeds do. I think this can be expanded upon, however, as this aspect of the show has received non-trivial news coverage regarding controversy, and when the UK version of Big Brother broadcast intercourse between contestants for the first time, it made headlines. 70.72.201.229 ( talk) 15:06, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Frankie Grande redirects to his sister Ariana Grande's article. Can anyone start a separate article for Frankie Grande? After college, where he was a Biology/performance major, he started his acting career in the National Tour of Dora the Explorer Live!. He then appeared in Mamma Mia! on Broadway, held the title of Mr. Broadway 2007, produced Jude Law's Hamlet on Broadway (and vehicles for David Hyde Pierce and Jim Belushi), founded the non-profit arts empowerment organization Broadway in South Africa, toured with Justin Bieber and his sister (as a dancer), and had his own one-man show in New York. He also has an expanding social media presence. See this, for example. He is currently appearing on Big Brother. Here is more Biographical info on him and here is his Big Brother bio video. Happy editing, everyone. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 17:55, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
Colours shouldn't be used to show if a programme is current, past or whatever. There's a column that makes it clear what's what, it says "upcoming season" or "current season", if there's one on or coming soon. The use of colour makes the table look messy and actually harder to understand, and goes against WP:ACCESS. Can we remove the colours please? – Anemone Projectors– 11:39, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Where a flag is used next to a contestant name, is that supposed to indicate the contestant's most recent residence, their citizenship, or something else? I want to make some clarifications and corrections on one of the pages, but I want to make sure the policy is consistent. These distinctions do have consequences for some of these potential edits.

This is a summary of my copyedit:
I'll be making another pass, looking at what can be summarized a little more concisely – after reading several of the series articles to be sure I understand the meaning. (This article is meant to be a summary of 387 series, and should only mention what's notable at that level.)

Hi!
I edited the following paragraph to the article (March 16 2019 8:36) "Commercial Realisation
Today, many websites offer for a fee an insight into the private rooms of unsuspecting people. One example is reallifecam.com . The websites often pretend to the viewer a victim's knowledge about the espionage, thereby playing both ends against the middle by using the viewers' shame about their act of voyeurism together with the viewer's fear of prosecution to silence the audience."
As all of my edits it has been deleted. Can you help me please to write in an acceptable way? Is the naming of the website not ok, as it is not closed, and probably will never? Or is the whole paragraph not acceptable, as it shows the realisation of the dystopia and a lacking intervention of the security agencies? Or what else is the issue?
As all of my edits, these questions are not meant to be accusing but asked very directly in hope to get a direct answer how to reformulate the paragraph to match wikipedias terms of acceptance. On the official page only formal rules are explaint, no rules about content.
Maybe User 2602:306:3793:A3B0:FC85:F6A0:83BE:945A himself can tell what exactly made him delete the paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8070:A198:9000:106B:85B5:FFB:F444 ( talk) 01:47, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Currently, all "align=left" in the Versions table were removed by the user Gervoi for no reason. It makes contents in the tables not aligned and looks messy. I reverted this edit move but this user undid my revert. OK, I'm not starting an edit war, so this should be discussed.
Should "align=left" be added back as before or keep it as what it is right now? Please explain your reasons.

In the list of series and their winners, BB Finland #5 (2009) winner Aso Alanso's nationality is marked as Iranian. However there is source for that. And more importantly the list is the only place where this info even is. 85.217.34.189 ( talk) 14:14, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone have information about the possibility of Big Brother going to China? Also we should list the year in which Big Brother started (1999) and the following years and which Big Brother's had started airing, finishing with currently new 2011 Big Brother begining.--Cooly123 22:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
Big Brother is a awful, pointless tv programme, it taes up valuable tv time alll they do is spy on cluelesss contestants in a big house while, the contestants triumphantly try and win the big cash prize.

I've removed bold and italic from the table in words such as "upcoming season" because it goes against Wikipedia's manual of style. I started making further cleanups, but haven't finished. This includes using italics for titles (everything under "Local title" should be italic) and making sure the word "season" is in lower case (where it appears after a presenter's name). Does anyone have objections? Especially to the removal of bold (the other stuff should be fine). – Anemone Projectors– 15:59, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
This article was tagged for (among other things) copyediting, and one of a copy editor's jobs is to bring an article into compliance with the
Manual of Style.
MOS:FLAG states, "Do not emphasize nationality without good reason"
and "Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth, residence or death"
. It took me several days to painstakingly copyedit this article; if it's tagged again for copyediting, I suggest removing the {{
copy edit}} tag from the article, tagging the talk page with {{
GOCEreviewed}} and moving on. Don't waste your time, as I did.

This is a major aspect of the series, so I added a line in "Overview" about this. Although I didn't add a source, it's easily verifiable that sexual relationships do occur and how much is shown varies - US Big Brother shows nothing, whereas some of the European versions broadcast pretty much everything, or their Net feeds do. I think this can be expanded upon, however, as this aspect of the show has received non-trivial news coverage regarding controversy, and when the UK version of Big Brother broadcast intercourse between contestants for the first time, it made headlines. 70.72.201.229 ( talk) 15:06, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Frankie Grande redirects to his sister Ariana Grande's article. Can anyone start a separate article for Frankie Grande? After college, where he was a Biology/performance major, he started his acting career in the National Tour of Dora the Explorer Live!. He then appeared in Mamma Mia! on Broadway, held the title of Mr. Broadway 2007, produced Jude Law's Hamlet on Broadway (and vehicles for David Hyde Pierce and Jim Belushi), founded the non-profit arts empowerment organization Broadway in South Africa, toured with Justin Bieber and his sister (as a dancer), and had his own one-man show in New York. He also has an expanding social media presence. See this, for example. He is currently appearing on Big Brother. Here is more Biographical info on him and here is his Big Brother bio video. Happy editing, everyone. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 17:55, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
Colours shouldn't be used to show if a programme is current, past or whatever. There's a column that makes it clear what's what, it says "upcoming season" or "current season", if there's one on or coming soon. The use of colour makes the table look messy and actually harder to understand, and goes against WP:ACCESS. Can we remove the colours please? – Anemone Projectors– 11:39, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Where a flag is used next to a contestant name, is that supposed to indicate the contestant's most recent residence, their citizenship, or something else? I want to make some clarifications and corrections on one of the pages, but I want to make sure the policy is consistent. These distinctions do have consequences for some of these potential edits.

Some of the new upcoming seasons are too soon to be included in the article as there is not much to be said about them, other than the confirmation of the future seasons.-- OfficerAPC ( talk) 01:35, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
This is a summary of my copyedit:
I'll be making another pass, looking at what can be summarized a little more concisely – after reading several of the series articles to be sure I understand the meaning. (This article is meant to be a summary of 387 series, and should only mention what's notable at that level.)

I finished reorganizing the "Other" sections into appropriate "Twist" sections or "Special Editions". I still need to go over it and do some cleanup. Please leave that to me. Also, if I reverted anyone else's copyedit, please bring it here to discuss.

Is there really a need to include the most recent winner in the versions section. I don't really see a reason to because this page is about the franchise as a whole not independent versions. TheDoctorWho (talk) 12:18, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi!
I edited the following paragraph to the article (March 16 2019 8:36) "Commercial Realisation
Today, many websites offer for a fee an insight into the private rooms of unsuspecting people. One example is reallifecam.com . The websites often pretend to the viewer a victim's knowledge about the espionage, thereby playing both ends against the middle by using the viewers' shame about their act of voyeurism together with the viewer's fear of prosecution to silence the audience."
As all of my edits it has been deleted. Can you help me please to write in an acceptable way? Is the naming of the website not ok, as it is not closed, and probably will never? Or is the whole paragraph not acceptable, as it shows the realisation of the dystopia and a lacking intervention of the security agencies? Or what else is the issue?
As all of my edits, these questions are not meant to be accusing but asked very directly in hope to get a direct answer how to reformulate the paragraph to match wikipedias terms of acceptance. On the official page only formal rules are explaint, no rules about content.
Maybe User 2602:306:3793:A3B0:FC85:F6A0:83BE:945A himself can tell what exactly made him delete the paragraph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8070:A198:9000:106B:85B5:FFB:F444 ( talk) 01:47, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Currently, all "align=left" in the Versions table were removed by the user Gervoi for no reason. It makes contents in the tables not aligned and looks messy. I reverted this edit move but this user undid my revert. OK, I'm not starting an edit war, so this should be discussed.
Should "align=left" be added back as before or keep it as what it is right now? Please explain your reasons.

So on the nominations table, it looks more professional to list all the housemates in alphabetic order, not list "all housemates". I've been changing them on all the series', so please leave them alone. It takes a lot of work and looks better to list everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sisters133 ( talk • contribs) 01:54, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
