Teams table[edit]

Just starting a discussion here to gain other opinion, is there really a need for the teams table in the twists section? All the information is literally a duplication of what is already in the voting history table and is therefore unneeded. TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:52, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly think it is helpful, it doesn’t say who the team captains are on the voting table plus it shows the order their teammates were chosen in. BB18 has a table to show the teams too! E51539 (talk) 11:55, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Team Colors[edit]

Can someone please change the team colors back to their less saturated version that was just used before someone changed it? The team colors currently used hurt your eyes and come off too strong. Ugla'a (talk) 03:29, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Colors[edit]

So the different social medias for BB have posted two different graphics for the teams, Twitter has them as one color and Instagram has a weird muted version (which is the one I used for the voting table). Should we choose the colors based off which one looks better? If so I think we should switch to the Twitter colors because they look less muted and fit the theme better. I just figured I would start a discussion instead of just changing them every time BB posts a new color scheme, which seems to be every day now! E51539 (talk) 03:27, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For reference:

– Jokers – Aces – Kings – Queens	– Jokers – Aces – Kings – Queens

The show used the colors on the left for the opening competition and I'd say that was the more reliable source to go off. But then the colors on the right seem to be more 'official', used in media etc, so I have no idea! — RachelRice (talk, contribs) — 23:26, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Voting table[edit]

Hi everyone! I was just wondering why it was decided to change the eviction boxes at the bottom of the table. Now, it says “5 of 6 votes” before the break, and all of the seasons before 15 have it as what I pasted below. It definitely shortens the length of the table and doesn’t stretch it out unnecessarily. Is there any way we could change it back so everything looks more concise?

I'm not quite sure what you mean. The way the table is set up is how it has always been set up and is the same in every single page for Big Brother. NintendoGeek (talk) 06:17, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Team Phase/Individual Phase[edit]

Is that confirmed? It would seem to be speculation. 24.59.8.40 (talk) 15:09, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Team phase was confirmed to last four weeks back when it was first revealed by the producers. — RachelRice (talk, contribs) — 18:30, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Hate to be that person but would anyone else agree with protecting this page to put a stop to the constant vandalism from unregistered users? At least until the season is over and the page is near enough complete. — RachelRice (talk, contribs) — 20:07, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't be the first time a season page has had to be protected during the season. I haven't actually gone through the page history to see how bad it is yet, I'll try to get back to it later but if anyone beats me to it and thinks it needs it, just file a request at WP:RFPP and an admin will review it.

Coin of Destiny[edit]

Lets not treat Coin of Destiny as a renamed Coup'état but rather as the power brittnee in the late stages of bbcan3 EdrianJustine (talk) 01:45, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Color for "Jury Member"[edit]

We should keep the colors used for cells occupying the future jury votes as there should be a distinction between votes to evict and votes to win as shown with votes to save and tiebreaker votes having or technically having their own colors. EdrianJustine (talk) 22:08, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Teams[edit]

I know we’re in the process of trying to make things more accessible but I was just wondering why the team colors next to the HouseGuest names on the contestant progress table were deleted? It’s a nice visual to show the teams and currently the other Big Brother pages have team colors next to the names. If it’s something with accessibility that we should’ve have then that’s fine, I believe the Survivor pages are deleting almost all color off as well. However if we can bring the team colors back I think it would be beneficial! I didn’t want to change the chart around without asking first. E51539 (talk) 13:42, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, those colored cells down the left column violate MOS:COLOR and MOS:ACCESS, and were also removed from the Survivor voting tables. Bgsu98 (talk) 17:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I meant the voting history table, sorry! Also I said “should’ve” instead of “shouldn’t”. Oops E51539 (talk) 13:46, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Safety Colors[edit]

Is there a need to have the light orange color for team safety since we have the superscripts that explain why that person is safe for the week? E51539 (talk) 00:09, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an either/or situation; there is nothing wrong with keeping the tan-colored background for those cells. Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:18, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
