They're currently tagged a la the ones found at Getty Images. Can anyone find untagged ones? They're unsuitable here if they're tagged. --Howard the Duck 06:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nominations Table

I don't want to create a fuss here, but shouldn't the nominations table be the same as all the other nations' nominations tables? Just a thought. FireSpike 18:57, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I made the table more like the other ones from the other countries. Some important changes:

• I have eliminated the "saved" row. The precedent on the matter seems to be that readers can use deductive reasoning to tell them that the nominees that aren't listed as evicted were saved.
• Instead of using "#1" for each round of nominations, the precedents for nominations tables seem to be that the date listed above nominations for that round is the day that the eviction will take place.
• In the "Evicted" row, the evicted housemates should have the pinkish color used in the chart currently. Also, it important that after the percentage of votes listed, that it is indicated whether or not the viewers were voting "to evict" or "to save". The runner-up should have a light, pale blue color, and the eventual winner will have a minty green color.

These changes help make the Big Brother articles more uniform, thus fulfilling one of the goals of WP:BIGBRO. FireSpike 19:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

This is a tricky one, should the people that were immune but still able to nominate have a color in their nominations box? Also, should Kian have the blue color behind his nominations since that blue has meant "Banned from Nominations" in the past. He wasn't really banned. Personally, I think that those colors are unecessary. Any thoughts on the issue? FireSpike 17:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I think, going along with the other nominations tables, that if they do nominate then they should have the plain background colour, unless they are nominating from a different location/room. For examples from BB7 UK, in Week 4 when Suzie nominated as the only nominator, she was automatically immune from nominations, and in Week 5 when a group of housemates had to nominate each other face to face, they were being punished but they all still had the normal background colour.

[edit] Splitting the article

I've notice that the size of the article is now 32KB and will get longer as the season progresses. I'm thinking of splitting the article up into several articles that include:

• The list of housemates
• Chronology of important events
• Nomination history

I'm just asking for opinions here. You can also give suggestions just to keep this article's file size small. - 上村七美 | talk 15:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

How about Shrinking instead of splitting? --Howard the Duck 02:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

This is the result of refocusing: I've reduced the section about summary of tasks into just of the weekly tasks. Relevant daily tasks are to be listed in the chronology section. - 上村七美 | talk 10:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weight rule?

Someone should explain what that is in the article. FireSpike 00:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Basically, on Day 1, the housemates their weight. Every week, Big Brother checks on the housemates' weights. Although there is no reward (just kudos) to those who successfully lose weight, there will be actions against those who gained more than five pounds during their stay. I didn't understand it at first, but it became clear when Gee-Ann gained slightly more than five points during her five week stay in the House. - 上村七美 | talk 01:38, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
