Number of weeks

Hi, do we know how many weeks the show will be on for? --MSalmon (talk) 21:12, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CBS has Big Brother currently on a ten week (75 day) schedule. When Survivor premieres that is the day they air the finale. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 02:36, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
September 19, 2012 will be the season finale according to Ian on the feeds. --FBISD (talk) 20:28, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stop Crossing Out Rachel

The official CBS website has not eliminated her as of yet. I know a statement was made saying nobody from Season 13 was on but an argument could be made that she was on Season 12. I think she should not be crossed out until CBS grays her photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.82.148 (talk) 03:54, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Rachel? In BB14? Is this section relevant? KRam41 (talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Colors

I remember reading this debate for last season, but I'm going to bring it up this year. The color used to describe the mentors is awful. It doesn't go with the other colors used in the Voting History and infobox. Are there any other suitable options?

I think after three years I may have finally found a suitable option for the third extra color. Hopefully Apricot (Crayola) will work as it is distinguishable from all other colors but fits in with the infobox. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 04:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The new color is perfect in my opinion. We are running out! But the light orange works perfectly with all the other light colors. Thank you! Good find! --FBISD (talk) 20:25, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Expelled color needs to be changed-its too close to the Coaches color.--Tech-Chef (talk) 13:46, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Use legend5 in the infobox for the Coach's as it is not covered by any other statuses --MSalmon (talk) 13:55, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Voting History Table

The voting table right now looks horrendous I have tried several times to use this version which is much neater that separates the new HouseGuests from the Coaches. I believe that this version should be used instead of the current one which has unnecessary row spans of the word "Coach" across the entire table. It seems that new editors don't want to give the neater table a shot and instead insist on re-instating the other version as seen on page. I am going to try it again but this must be discussed.♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 04:00, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I support the separate table format. It's still yet to be seen what voting power (if any) the mentors have, but if we just put the "not eligible" sign for the votes they don't take part in then that's fine. They're playing a separate game, so they deserve a separate section. - Katanin (talk) 04:08, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the coaches from the table because they are not eligible to vote during evictions for this season (Dan's eviction vote is explained in the notes section). --MSalmon (talk) 08:53, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are a lot of repetitive sections in the voting history table. The Coach's Competition (which maybe should be Coaches' Competition) and the Coach's Power are represented by the yellow box in the voting table and Note 2. They mean the same thing. It's unnecessary to have both. I suggest those rows be taken out. The Voting Method row is also doubled by Notes 3 and 4 as well as the current Have Nots row. We may need to wait a bit to see if anything happens with the coaches (such as them competing for the $500,000, etc.), but the boxes next to the coaches' names should NOT be who they chose for Have Nots. It is a "voting" table, not a who they chose to be a Have Not table. And again, all the information is already stated by the notes and other rows. Plus, we have been doing "Have Not," not "Have-Not." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.39.200.85 (talk) 22:24, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jodi's Eviction

Hi, just wondering if Jodi's eviction should be Day 6 or Day 1 (since all the HouseGuests moved on July 7)?

Day 1, that's when the eviction was held. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 14:41, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, just wanted to check --MSalmon (talk) 14:45, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So episode 1 on the 12th was actually showing what happened on the 7th?Robinrobin (talk) 05:18, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Will the next eviction be on Day 13 then (July 19)?--MSalmon (talk) 18:51, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, next Thursday :) --Firegazer101 (talk) 21:13, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Table information

Where are people getting all the nomination info from? The first episode only took place yesterday and people have already noted down the nominees, immunity winner, have nots, and the coach competition (whatever that is). Shouldn't all this be left for when the next episode is aired so it's not all spoilt? Thanks --Firegazer101 (talk) 21:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The live feed is a good source here on Wikipedia. If it happens on the Live feed then it can be added. This discussion appears every year for a Big Brother with live feeds. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 23:41, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Updating

I just noticed veto holder and nominates are updated here. I don't think they should be. It shouldn't be updated here until the episode airs. Statυs (talk) 22:10, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because there is Live Feed, the results may be posted here. Keep in mind that the shows are only house highlights of what went on in the House prior; Live Feed is not a spoiler per se. Plus results have always been posted here before the episodes air, and I don't see that it should change for people who only watch the episodes. Jandal3c (talk) 05:01, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not everybody buys the live feeds. The show is all the general public see, and what is meant to air. It should be changed; otherwise, the article is giving away spoilers to those who don't have the feeds. I'm quite shocked to see that this has been going on for a while. I personally have the feeds myself, but if I didn't and came across this, I would be pissed. Statυs (talk) 04:49, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see no problems with this information being included plus Wikipedia:Spoiler and Wikipedia:Content disclaimer covers this adequately. This debate usually appears once every year but really is discussed on the American Big Brother articles due to the low number of episodes per week and the fact the episodes lag behind the live feed. Like an event will happen on the live feeds but won't be covered on the show until 3 or 4 days later. Where as in other countries there is a 24 hour delay between the live feed and television broadcast. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 10:03, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I do however think that there needs to be a spoiler alert at the top of the article, if only while the season is currently on air. Having it be buried only in the relevant section is not sufficient. KRam41 (talk) 04:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I thought about it after I wrote the message and also remembered Big Brother After Dark, which also reveals that information. I bet there's probably something like this once a year, haha. Statυs (talk) 04:47, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the original statement! I just found out stuff just cause I wanted to know the end date of the series! How do we know the stuff actually happened until it airs on TV. We can't see the live feed, a lot of us, because it cost, so how do we know all the results aren't just lying. I don't like it! Entertainer91 (talk) 17:44, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Day of Nominations Ceremony

When did the first nominations ceremony happen, where Willie chose his nominees? Because at the moment we have only got the date of the eviction. Thanks --86.169.137.251 (talk) 09:25, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It hasn't happened yet, and it is the PoV winner that chooses the new nominees (if they wish to change them) --MSalmon (talk) 10:47, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Veto winner can remove someone but the HOH picks a replacement.--174.49.176.161 (talk) 15:04, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It HAS happened. It just has not been shown on the CBS show yet. It happened before the feeds came on. --FBISD (talk) 20:24, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Frank

This has Frank marked as "nominated" for Day 1-but he was not part of Dans Group-so he was not a nominee.--Tech-Chef (talk) 02:51, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DISREGARD-It was changed as i typed this--Tech-Chef (talk) 02:52, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Table

I like the new table regarding whose team the newbies are on! The table does, however, state which coach won the coaches comp. and who they saved, so shouldn't that information be taken out of the voting history chart? I don't want to do it myself and upset anyone, just a suggestion. :) --Sethjohnson95 (talk) 14:24, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The table is just a duplication of the voting history table so it doesn't need to be there really. --MSalmon (talk) 18:36, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I second liking the new table. I saw it yesterday. It was a way of finding out the Coaches Comp info without having to search the other table for it.--Tech-Chef (talk) 13:45, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I created it to keep track of the teams, but Msalmon doesn't seem to like it. Since its 2-1, I'm going to put it back now.--Firegazer101 (talk) 13:59, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Everything can be kept track in the Voting History table, in order to comply with Wikipedia standards there can't be a lot of tables. That is why the Weekly Summary table was changed to prose. Any changes of teams can be noted there and with a note for the Voting History. I merged the two together in a new compact format that way all key information can be kept track of. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 18:39, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did remove it but it was readded --MSalmon (talk) 20:59, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List On the Right of Page

I think someone should but the coaches at the start instead of alphabetical order. So the top 4 are the coaches then go alphabetical order for the contestants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.186.116.240 (talk) 02:59, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Messy table

The voting history table is a mess! We need to clear it up! And do we seriously need the have-nots row there? what's that got to do with the voting process! --Firegazer104 (talk) 03:17, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I took out the rows "Coach's Competition" and "Coach's Decision" as that information can be inferred from the table. I also took away which coach chose which player for Have Not, as not only is this a Voting History table but the information is completely covered in the notes as well as the "Have Nots" row. Creating new rows or cells for information that is already in the table is superfluous. My edit was cited as vandalism. I will make the edit again. If someone feels that the is a good reason to put the same information in the table more than once, please discus it here before changing it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.39.200.85 (talk) 16:28, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I made the edit again and it was reverted two minutes later by Msalmon without discussion.
Reason for edit: what table are you talking about exactly?
It's difficult to respond to a question in an edit without editing. Please use this Talk page. The table I am talking about is labeled Voting history on the Big Brother 14 (U.S.) Wikipedia page. Again:
All of the Have Not information is in the "Have Not" row as well as in the Notes. All of the information in the "Coach's Competition" and "Coach's Decision" rows can be inferred in the Notes as well as the yellow immunity boxes and the coaches' colors next to each HouseGuests' names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.39.200.85 (talk) 16:44, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well try discussing why the change should be made here with a copy of the table in your sandbox that way everyone can see both versions and it can be discussed more thoroughly. Try to avoid getting into an edit war if at all possible because then the article will be locked so only the admins can edit it. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 16:48, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

^Note 1 : As coach of the last-place team in the first Head of Household competition, Dan had to evict one member of his team.
^Note 2 :   The winner of the Coach's Competition chose to give one of his or her players immunity for the week.
^Note 3 : Each coach had to choose one of their own players to be a Have Not for the week.
^Note 4 : As the winner of the Coach's Competition, Janelle picked four players to be the Have Nots for the week.
^Note 5 : After a violent outburst, Willie was expelled from the game by Big Brother on Day 14. Big Brother decided to allow nominations to continue on as normal.


The current table does not explain what the yellow box is for (who was immune due to the Coach's Competition.) Yellow boxes marking immunity have been explained in the Notes section of the voting history table in Big Brother 8, 11, and 12, so an explanation should be mentioned in the notes as is precedent. Else, we have yellow boxes with no explanation of why they are yellow.

The Coach's Competition row in the current table says who won the Coach's Competition that week. The Coach's Decision row shows who the coach chose to make immune from the vote for that week. All of the information in both of the rows can be inferred by the yellow box (which shows who was chosen to be immune) and the color next to the player's name who was immune (to show which coach was able to choose that week). The note in the proposed table ("The winner of the Coach's Competition chose to give one of his or her players immunity for the week.") also helps clarify this information. Having two extra rows discussing Coach's (Coaches'?) Competition winners in the table labeled "Voting history" is redundant.

In the current table, there are notes that explains how the Have Nots were chosen in Week 1 ("Each coach had to choose one of their own players to be a Have Not for the week.") and in Week 2 ("As the winner of the Coach's Competition, Janelle picked four players to be the Have Nots for the week."). There is also a row for Have Nots with the names of who was chosen as a Have Not. These pieces of information tell us who chose who to be a Have Not, and who was a Have Not (as is precedent from previous U.S. Big Brother Wikipedia articles.) Yet in the current table, the information is once again presented in the form of a Coach voting one of his or her players as a Have Not. Again, this information is redundant. In the proposed table, no information next to the Coaches' names is given about who they chose to be a Have Not for the week. The only information given next to a Coach's name is who he or she voted for, which in this case, only Dan cast a vote to evict someone (Jodi) on Day 1. This is also a Voting history table with the word "Voting" implying "Voting for eviction."

Please take this information into consideration. My IP was blocked due to a 3 reversion rule, but I believe the reversions were unjust. I was correcting redundant information in the Voting history table as per precedent in previous Big Brother seasons, as well as within Wikipedia standards. Those who reverted the information did not discuss any reason for reversions in the Talk page, while I made sure to discuss the edits every time before making them. No hard feelings. I'm trying to make this voting chart concise as well as match previous seasons' charts. FBISD (talk) 00:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't a complete revert, when making the change I took what you said into consideration but I believe that there should be more discussion on this topic. The reason I modified the table and notes to the current version is to avoid having a secondary table in the Coaches' section that is not needed. That table noted the coaches' competition and outcome and was made in the event that the players would have different coaches down the line. At this point it is not needed because no changes have been made and can be noted in the Notes section of the current one. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:42, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This version reduces the amount of duplicate information but retains the key parts of the other table. With the coaches there should be an indicator as to what kind of power that coach held that week since in Week 2 Janelle could have swapped a player for another. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 03:41, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was wondering if we could find a way to color code the names of the Have Nots as above so that it is easier to know which coach put up which player. Currently, as I just found out recently, there is a small note that talk about how they were put up and who did it, but it causes some backtracking to find out who was the coach of X player for week 2, along with some other issues. Granted, the above has an issue with the color used for the team of Janelle so for now does anyone hae any opinions as to something similar to this idea? 204.106.251.214 (talk) 19:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All the inofmration regarding the Have-Nots will be in the notes section and there shouldn't be too many colors on there anyway. It is fine as it is. --MSalmon (talk) 19:41, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
True, but I did not even know that is was being included in the Notes section until it was mentioned on the talk page which is why I was wondering if it could be included onto the actual table instead of as a footnote. 204.106.251.214 (talk) 04:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone. I'm new to wiki-editing but not at all new to the online BB community. As a designer, the voting chart for this season (though much improved from where it started a few weeks ago) still seems really crowded. I think we could be much more economical with it if we got rid of the repetitive "not eligible" cells and just noted that gray = not eligible. The only place this wouldn't work would be on week 3's "nominations void" cells. However, I think we could also make those cells gray (meaning "not eligible" by the key i'm proposing) and change Frank/Joe's cells to say "nominations void" (with the "nominated" background color remaining the same). Hopefully this makes sense. ♪♫Alucard, you are the expert – what do you think?! Iceynoah (talk) 23:23, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know what it is there, but it looks alright as to showing all of the information. Since it is a table that is somewhat redundant, it will likely be removed in the next few hours anyways. 204.106.251.214 (talk) 04:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is way more readable than the summary, and it shows all the players that participate in each comp. Think we should improve them sections.--187.65.12.19 (talk) 04:57, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tables such as the competition chart and a weekly summary should be avoided. In order to get a Big Brother season article promoted to Good Article status the majority of the article needs to be in prose not tables. In 2009 there was a consensus made to use Big Brother 10 (UK) and Big Brother 11 (U.S.) as templates for past and future articles. Only the American articles are still holding up to this original consensus while editors that are currently doing the British articles have reverted back to the old format. Right now 7 out of 14 articles are using the current format. If anymore tables other than the Infobox, HouseGuests, Voting History and Viewership are added this would give the article more tables than prose and would make the article ineligible for Good Article status in the future. The goal is to achieve either Good Article or Featured Article status. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 07:04, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Legend

I think there should be a different color for the winner of the coach competition. 99.45.166.113 (talk) 07:38, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Day 5

The current voting history chart lists the second entry for week 1 as Day 5. Where does this number come from? It seems arbitrary to me. Willie was crowned HOH on day 1, before Jodi left the house, and the actual voting and eviction took place on Day 13. I think listing it as day 13 would make more sense, considering this is the day the actual voting took place. (Of course, there might be some sort of precedent at work, here, which is why I'm asking for a rationale behind the decision to list it as day 5.) --LeoChris (talk) 22:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, we should put the day as the day the nominations ceremony took place. However, this confuses me a lot actually. Can someone please tell me did nominations take place on Wednesday 11 July (Day 5) or Thursday 12 July (Day 6)? Thanks --2.222.115.96 (talk) 23:47, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The nominations were on Day 5. I don't really like it being listed as 'Day 5' on the chart, but oh well. It wasn't my decision. Lol. Sethjohnson95 (talk) 21:27, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have-not section

Do we seriously need the Have-nots on the 'VOTING HISTORY' table? It has nothing to do with voting whatsoever and therefore should not be there. Thanks --2.222.115.96 (talk) 23:47, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Color Change Proposal

I propose we change the colors for the list of contestants for the "Nominated" and "Head of Household" sections. The colors chosen are way too similar. It's very hard to distinguish between the two. Here is the current list with the current colors. I'm proposing #75B2DD or #7FFFD4. Tcatron565 (talk) 23:04, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i agree i was coming here to post a comment about the colors being similar for HoH and nominated so i support the change suggested. Smith03 (talk) 16:31, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No Coaches Comp. First Night

Someone keeps saying that Britney won a Coaches Comp during the first night, it wasn't a Coaches Competition it was an HOH Competition so it should be listed as none. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.82.148 (talk) 22:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought --MSalmon (talk) 22:48, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Coaches Entry Date

Right now the table says that the coaches entered on day 1. I think that it should change to day 27 when America/the coaches voted to enter the game as players. Does anyone else agree? Behun (talk) 23:27, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No it should be when they entered the house not the game --MSalmon (talk) 08:37, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. It should remain as Day 1, as that's when they entered the house. --Sethjohnson95 (talk) 21:38, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Info

I am watching Big Brother page because lately I've been seeing nomination has been wrong as of right now 2:44 mst, Pov is going on according to Big Brother Buddy who that guy or girl always watch show online when things goes on no matter what time it is and keep us update 24/7 He told me its going on now, so nominations shouldn't even been changed yet. So whoever is changing the nominations for some reason please stop unless its right. From 4:20-4:50 mst, I've been editing this section because people that been doing that, is giving false info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patriciasigmond (talkcontribs) 20:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Food Comp section for BB1-BB10

Since BB11-BB14 have a Have-Nots section in the Voting table, why dont the other seasons have a "On Slop" section? 108.21.234.146 (talk) 23:56, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
