[edit] BBBM - Russell's departure
Russell even more recently announced that he'd be presenting this series. However channel4 have removed the programme's forum from their community.
[edit] Nominations
Why have the nominations been moved to the same page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.145.241.135 (talk) 14:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC).
- They were merged by Ohconfucius (talk • contribs), who gave WP:BOLD as his reason. Tra (Talk) 16:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Format section
As the format of the show is relatively different to its foreign counterparts, i.e. no Head of Household, etc. should we perhaps have a brief format of the show with information about a weekly task, nominations and eviction? It only needs to be a brief format, and the things that make it different from international versions. I can make a basic format later on. - ǀ Mikay ǀ 18:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia - Number of celebrities
"Following the end of Celebrity Big Brother 2007, 154 housemates have inhabited the house (including the 8 participants in Teen Big Brother). 46 of those were celebrities, including Chantelle Houghton, the non-celebrity contestant in Celebrity Big Brother 2006 and Jade Goody, who appeared in two series."
Why is Chantelle counted in the "Celebrity" figure? Surely she's just as much a "celebrity" as the none "celebrity" edition contestants in that she may have become famous after the show, but she wasn't famous before she went in. If there aren't any objections then I'll reduce the number by one and remove the bit there talking about her. Sven945 01:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- She's included as a celebrity because she was in Celebrity Big Brother. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Future of Big Brother
"Due to the disaster with Celebrity Big Brother's fifth series Channel 4 are in talks about the future of Big Brother, which is about to launch its eighth series, and that the axe may fall after the upcoming series and there will not be a ninth. This news comes with a blow after the axe fell on Celebrity Big Brother which will not be returning for a sixth series."

- I thought it was likely just CBB was up for the chop, not BB itself? Chris as I am Chris 17:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, your borth wrong, Channel 4 just last month comissioned series 9-11 of Big Brother and series 6-9 of Celebrity Big Brother.
- I never heared this, sounds like big news, and I havn't seen it mentioned anywhere? Chris as I am Chris 12:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GA review
Apologies, but I have going to have to fail the article. There are several entire sections without sources and none of the images have fair use rationale. Also, there is a trivia section which should be prosified and integrated into the main article. -- Scorpion 04:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
