Too Long
Is this article too long? I've looked at all the other Biggest Loser articles, and this one, by far is the longest. Yes, it *does* have more info than the others, but isn't this overkill? Is the "Television viewing and ratings" section really needed? And what about Trivia? I don't know, I didn't want to touch anything until a concenus is reached here, but it doesn't seem there's been discussion here at all.... — hippi ippi++++ 12:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm probably not the one to comment as I've added all the content (and spend a long time collating the information) but will comment anyway. Yes it is longer then the other articles, but the other ones are US versions which were only screened one episode a week, and 4 times shorter. The article matches other series (such as Big Brother) in length and information. The information provided I feel is encyclopedic and are all sourced. It collates all the relevant information about the show. Some of the descriptions are a little wordy and can be condensed, but it's a TV show, it receives ratings, there are news reports and public reception, interviews, controversies, twists, show differences, filming locations cast crew. The other articles can have all of this information too. Peter 12:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- One way of shortening he article might be to move the table data (details and results for minor challenges, major challenges, temptations, the walk) to the list of episodes article as these are more related to what happened in the episodes. Also the ratings are a little repeated in the list of episodes, the weekly/daily rankings can be moved to the list of episodes, and the important shows (premiere, finale, highest viewed weigh-in and eliminations) can stay in the ratings and compared with previous seasons.

- Ohhh. The Big Brother 2006 article is way longer. Ok. Moving the table data to list of eps could work. I *would* do it, but I'm not sure what is the best way. Copy and paste the tables as they are, or rewrite in paragraph form? — « hippi ippi » 15:22, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- I guess my thought is that the content lends itself to a table which makes it easier to see, otherwise paragraph is a little harder to see at a glance because you've got to read it. I was thinking putting individual results with each week or episode on the episode listing, but that defeats the purpose of the content - It's a summary of each element (elimination, weigh-in, minor challenges, major challenges), if they are all separated into individual episodes, you can't read them together. I personally think the article is just about right, it's fairly even for each main section, it says what it has to, I've cut back all the ratings as they are in the episode listings, I've condensed the lead texts and most of the other text sections. It could do with a little more pruning, But I think it's OK as it is once the text has been made more concise. Peter 23:35, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

- I don't think it is too long. Articles should be informative. (123.3.29.9 10:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC))
- p.s. I don't know how to do this but I followed the link for The Commando 'Steve' and I don't think that is the same Steve who was on this program. Someone should check and verify this. (123.3.29.9 10:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC))
