Title[edit]

Why should The United Kingdom of Big Brother be listed as a title of the series, when it has never been referred to as that? It is the theme of the series, but not the main title. Last year, the theme was the Others. However, we never saw it as a title during listings. Unlike previous seasons, such as Secrets & Lies, Power Trip and Timebomb, United Kingdom is not an official subtitle. So it shouldn't be listed. MyNameIsASDF (talk) 17:01, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry hadn't even realised you came here, I see where you're coming from but "Secrets & Lies, Power Trip and Timebomb" wasn't really advertised as such and as far as I can recall those titles wasn't stated before BB airs nor before and after ads - I believe this is the first time this sort of naming has been done?,

Personally I believe it should stay as it is relevent and my only best advice I can give is start an RFC on it, We both can debate the pros and cons all day but if I'm honest I don't think we'd achieve anything out of doing so and ofcourse it goes without saying if anyone does believe it should be removed then I'd be more than happy to listen and need be agree with said removal, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 16:31, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominations table pairs[edit]

Just reverted a couple of edits on the nominations table, and I'll explain why in case this starts an edit war.

First of all I changed back to "No nominations" rather than "Citizenship/Exiled" until we know 100% how this affects nominations - once we know then it can be changed.

Second, just because the housemates entered together does not mean they should be separated by colour. They are individual housemates. Yes we did this for UK vs USA but that's because it was a clear competition. This isn't Deborah and Hannah vs Imran and Sukhvinder. They'll be nominating alone and it will be their decision. Previous examples of when we haven't done this - CBB19, all stars and new stars, CBB19 Calum and Angie, (mother and son), BB14 Charlie and Jackie (mother and daughter), BB12 Faye and Jem (sisters), BB9 Mario and Lisa (boyfriend and girlfriend), BB8 Sam and Amanda (twins - before they were made 1 housemate), CBB5 Jade, Jack and Jackiey. We didn't do this because they were not pairs. ThisIsDanny (talk) 07:03, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominations[edit]

Can someone put up the nominations that weren't broadcast please? 82.38.57.190 (talk) 22:53, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bit difficult when they aren't announced... ThisIsDanny (talk) 22:57, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there not anywhere where they're mentioned? The official website or something, or could someone ask the producers? It's like… this is the first ever week where the table has been incomplete. 82.38.57.190 (talk) 23:12, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No not yet. I'll just get on the phone to them now, hang on. Haha, hopefully they're announced somewhere soon though because I'd hate it to be incomplete. ThisIsDanny (talk) 23:29, 25 June 2017 (UTC) ThisIsDanny (talk) 23:28, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks 82.38.57.190 (talk) 07:48, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can we not just put N/A for the ones that were not shown because otherwise it looks like they only made one nomination? MSalmon (talk) 10:46, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah good idea. — RachelRice (talk, contribs) — 13:13, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did put them in but it was reverting saying it was 'too messy' MSalmon (talk) 14:09, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have checked the rules and there is nothing to say we can't use N/A so why do people keep removing them i.e. Kyliechambers99 MSalmon (talk) 14:44, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I just thought it was unclear to have an N/A and we had already explained why we hadn't filled the table, but if you think the 'N/A' adds anything useful, by all means keep it Kyliechambers99 (talk) 15:06, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying you are wrong but it just makes it a bit more clearer to have it (and the note at the bottom of the table) that way we can change the N/A to the names when we get them. MSalmon (talk) 15:08, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we will get the names but ok Kyliechambers99 (talk) 15:14, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I know we won't but it just fills in the space on the table for the second names instead of having just one MSalmon (talk) 15:16, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Day 20 controversy[edit]

The article says "Big Brother also spoke to Chanelle, but didn't give her a warning as her actions were deemed justified."

What actions were justified? Mobile mundo (talk) 00:07, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removed it, being justified or not is an opinion. She was just spoken to because she threw a cup on the floor. ThisIsDanny (talk) 06:30, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks (Mobile mundo (talk) 13:53, 12 July 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Listing who is facing the public vote[edit]

Could we keep these cells empty until the voting actually opens? Otherwise it just gets confusing, especially in a week like this where it's not certain what is happening with public voting. Also, please don't just remove notes in the table without taking it to the talk page first. — RachelRice (talk, contribs) — 13:51, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. ThisIsDanny (talk) 17:08, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sue's eviction[edit]

Hi, should we include the votes to save in the nominations table (like last year)? MSalmon (talk) 12:45, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure. I don't think they should be though. Last year they were voting for who they wanted to evict, this year they were just saving somebody ThisIsDanny (talk) 16:39, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I know, I thought I would start a discussion before someone else changes it MSalmon (talk) 16:49, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also should say at the bottom that it was out of 2 - with Isabelle being saved first. @Helloman124: keeps removing this. ThisIsDanny (talk) 15:21, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew[edit]

We know Andrew is in the final - but when he leaves, should his colour be yellow? Personally as he won't be actually positioned in the final his colour should be purple and should say "Left (Day 54)" similar to the time warp housemates in BB16.

	Week 1	Week 2	Week 3	Week 4	Week 5	Week 6	Week 7	Week 8	Week 9	Week 10 Final		Nominations received
Helen	Not in House					Exempt	Left (Day 46)					N/A

	Week 1	Week 2	Week 3	Week 4	Week 5	Week 6	Week 7		Week 8 Final	Nominations received
	Week 1	Week 2	Week 3	Week 4	Week 5	Week 6	Day 44	Day 45	Week 8 Final	Nominations received

Andrew	Not in House				Joe, Tom	No nominations	Sam		Left (Day 54)	N/A

ThisIsDanny (talk) 22:29, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He's not even a finalist. He was told he would be in the Final Week - he his not a "finalist" for the main prize. Leaky Caldron 09:22, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'd say Left is fine. — RachelRice (talk, contribs) — 12:57, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Day 47 Reply Suggestion[edit]

Fake or not, these were nominations. They were eligible and nominated someone face to face. not eligible is an incorrect representation of what took place. Leaky Caldron 11:36, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What? The column with not eligible isn't for last night. It's for when Hannah and Tom choose to nominate somebody from the attic. An extra column would need to be included to show the fake eviction nominations - but the one that's there at the minute is nothing to do with that. I was thinking about adding them though but wanted to wait until tonight's highlights show to see whether it was after midnight out now - because then it would need to be in Week 8 rather than Week 7 surely? ThisIsDanny (talk) 11:42, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)OK. Get that. Where are the nominations into the attic? Leaky Caldron 11:46, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have been late last night. Just seen the f-t-f clip on Twitter. Leaky Caldron 11:48, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They haven't been added yet. I have every intention to add them in, but they were literally only revealed about an hour ago. I was waiting until tonight's highlights to see which Day/Week they should be included in, in case it was after midnight like Simone's eviction. ThisIsDanny (talk) 11:50, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. thnx. Leaky Caldron 12:02, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added ThisIsDanny (talk) 12:02, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Reckon that makes Charlotte and Isabelle favs. to go early then! Leaky Caldron 12:13, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
