Uh... Corey is going to be in the BB house http://www.yourtv.com.au/news/index.cfm?i=134830&rss=yes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.102.235 (talk) 06:43, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Where is the information on Worthington gone? In the Deletion Review quite a few users agreed to put some information on here where he was notable. Lakeyboy keeps removing the information from the housemates page (perhaps rightly, because he isn't a housemate per se) but that's no excuse to engage in censorship over the information about him. There is currently a protected redirect here but no information. What are we doing about this? JRG (talk) 04:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Friday Night Live
Friday Night Live is scheduled for a return, http://ten.com.au/ten/tvguide_search.html (Friday) --124.186.79.166 (talk) 10:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Template: Future television episode
I have placed the Template: Future television episode on this page due to the nature of Big Brother. Since Big Brother is more than just television episodes, it is after all a 24 hour a day show for three months the template is needed. Otherwise there will be a lot of editors that will state that certain events that happen on the live feeds despite being noteworthy should not belong in the article and will attempt to remove the information even if it is sourced properly. Since Big Brother airs multiple episodes a week plus each national variant has to an extent a number of spin-offs that revel key information needed for the article the template should remain until the finale of Big Brother has aired across all of Australia. That way readers that are new to Wikipedia and follow Big Brother through episodes only will know the article could contain certain information prior to a broadcast.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  06:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Template Dont Need itTemplate: Future television episode
the Template is NOT REALLY dont need it at all because The Big Brother show is Allready start it Monday 7pm. Yesturday is Day 1 and Today is Day 2. you see what i mean Btw The Launch show yesturday at 7pm. Ps I am telling the truth here.

Rima in the infobox
Don't change Rima to another status or add an exit date. Big Brother still counts her as a housemate and Wikipedia should too. Until Big Brother or Rima says otherwise she is still a housemate. Her injury and her temporary leave from the House should be noted in the Weekly Summary section and the Housemates page.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  19:10, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * What about the nominations table? Should Rima be considered "not in the house" for week 2? Baggers89 (talk) 09:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes I think she should be put in as not in the house because otherwise we are just going to have her nomination space blank. In23065 (talk) 09:24, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I also think we should have her on the info/nominations table as injured until (if) she returns. Or until noted by Big Brother or Rima. As for Corey, we should include him in the nominations table if he has an influence in terms of eviction, which he may or may not have. Atlantics88 (talk) 18:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * With Corey the only thing right now is he is part of Terri's mission. If she looks after him and Big Brother is pleased he will re-instate Terri as a Housemate. (See Monday's Daily Show.)  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  23:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Nominations table
Which do people think will be best for terri section in the nominations table

Option 1

Or

Option 2

My vote is for Option 1, due to the fact as the season progresses the producers may throw in twists which could result in additional columns and Option 2 would make the table look really junked up. Also keep in mind what goes for one Big Brother table must go for another. Again see Sharon's row in Big Brother 9 USA (and that table is pretty complex due to the various twists). As long as she keeps her space in the "Evicted" row and a note is present as to why she was a HouseGuest for the second and third week that will cover the bases.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  20:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Now that she has nominated we are going to have to say she was evicted on day 1.In23065 (talk) 19:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The Weekly Summary section takes care of that bit. Again I reference Sharon from Big Brother 9 (U.S.) because she is was in a similar boat as Terri.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  20:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The difference between my table what happened to sharon's section of the table is that i had the intelligence to put the colspan=2 so that it doesn't over lap into the next week and still looks neat. In23065 (talk) 21:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Where is the Weekly Summary/Highlights/Chronology section?
I was just wandering how come there isn't a Weekly Summary/Highlights/Chronology section? Past seasons and other major English Big Brother's have them.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  01:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I have added a Weekly Summary section. If I have forgotten to include a certain event or task please add them. I didn't have the time to cite all the information but if someone wouldn't mind please do.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  20:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems a bit confusing as, within each week, events are not presented in chronological order, due to having been broken up into subcategories such as "events", "tasks". Format (talk) 20:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * If you have a better idea for the Weekly Summary section please propose it here. This is the same style that is used across past Australian seasons plus the UK and USA series.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  01:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Should Barney and Michael be on the nominations table?
The way I see it, it's a nominations table. They haven't had any influence on nominations. 80.7.26.90 (talk) 00:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * They were housemates so they need to be in the table.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  01:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Head of Household
Since this is new to the Australian version shouldn't there be a section depicting what the HoH in Australia actually does.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  22:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Ratings
I think the 2008 season's woeful ratings deserve a mention. 220.240.19.231 (talk) 00:30, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Nominations Table → Voting History
I changed the title to Voting History since the housemates vote to evict, public nominates.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  21:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Points to evict
When the housemates vote to evict, the maximum number of points a housemate can recieve is two points from each housemate, and four points from the HOH. Because obviously when the housemates give two points to someone, they can't then give one point to the same person. So Saxon's 'Evicted' box should say 16 out of 26, and Rebecca's 22 out of 28...I think. 80.7.26.90 (talk) 22:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Anyone mind if I reiterate this point? It's been sort of ignored, but I think it's still valid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.87.73 (talk) 10:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

HoH Twist
After changing nominations, not HoH saved a housemate, but evicted housemate Dixie used her handgranade to save. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.94.173.254 (talk) 23:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * For now let's see how this plays out. Maybe since Week 5/6 are transitional weeks there was a little quirk they had to take care of. Maybe starting in Week 7 the HoH will have similar powers that will impact the lineup just like in Weeks 1-5.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  00:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Peter Powers, Carson, Ollie?
Somebody added Peter Powers, Carson, Ollie as house guest, although that do looks nice, it has no point since neither of these would have a chance to win the prize. they were just Guest rather than Houseguest. Also, For every evicted housemate, that housemate should go to bottom. so it from the bottom it should be like this : Barney, Micheal, Saxon, Rebecca, Nathan, David, Dixie? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BigOz22 (talk • contribs) 12:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

-- It has all been fixed back to the normal way, some people need to realise that you can't just do that, you keep that table the same way and leave only current housemates in alphabetical order, not ALL housemates. It goes by order of eviction...simple Tiptop4305 (talk) 16:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

-- Yea, that was me, sorry. I just thort alphabetical order wood look nice, and that the house guests should be included coz they were there, I didn't realise that the table was showing the housemates progress towards winning. In that sense, maybe we should put the nominated people at the bottom of the list, just before the evicted people, because they are closer to loosing. yea? it's just an idea, but I thought I'd put it out there, so yea. Anyway, the way you had it makes perfect sense, it was my first time editing and I had to pick something I knew about thats all... lol. sorry! (and if this bit isn't for conversations, take this out, I'm still new to all this). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Princessdelta (talk • contribs) 23:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Friday Night Live Winners?
The table doesn't mention who wins FNL, only HOH. Nobbi's first win isn't in the table as there was no HOH that early, but it was still an FNL win, shouldn't that be acknowledged? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.54.7.98 (talk) 15:24, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That should be noted in the Weekly Summary.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  17:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

2nd time the same vandalism occured in the Housemate Table
Somebody for the second time has vandalised the housemates table (the one that shows : Rima entry Day 0 Exit Day 5 etc.) Somebody should look into it. --BigOz22 (talk) 16:58, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Omission?
I couldn't help but notice that nowhere in this article does it state the real reason for Travis' absence from the House on Days 33-36. The currently stated reason is "fell ill during FNL" or something like that. It was revealed during the Day 35 Eviction Show that Ben squirted a corrosive substance into Travis' eye while he was using the toilet before FNL, causing him to feel ill during FNL and ultimately leading to his being taken out of the house. Sources for this shouldn't be too hard to find. I merely wonder whether this, arguably the msot interesting thing to happen in the house all year, warrants a mention. Sarsaparilla39 (talk) 10:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It was Shampoo/Conditioner that Nobbi squirted into his eye. I think it does deserve a mention in the article as it relates to Nobbi's (so called) bullying of people in the house. Ang how this sopposedly gave Travis shingles (due to stress) and then the infected eye. MattyC3350 (talk) 12:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Guest Pamala Anderson
It has been reported on the eviction show, and Friday Night Live that Pamala Anderson will enter the house. She will have a task. The exact lengh of her stay is unknown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.50.228.4 (talk) 00:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Putting Corey in the Housemates Entrance and Exit Table
I am aware that unless HouseGuest had influence on Nominations/Voting, he should not be put up in the Voting/Nomination History,does the same counts for HouseMate Entrance/Exist Table? --BigOz22 (talk) 17:41, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  18:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

How could Cherry use a Hand Grenade on Rory?
Cherry couldn't be evicted at all, unless he walked or got ejected?

It says that Cherry used HG on Rory, where he had to leave the house (Where there is that HAND-GRENEADE table). --BigOz22 (talk) 23:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Notice about the new C-Class quality classification

 * Copied to Big Brother Australia 2008, Big Brother 10 (U.S.), Big Brother 2008 (UK), and Secret Story 2008 (France).

I was unaware that we needed to have a discussion about the new C-Class classification on the quality scale. ((Other WikiProject responses) So my question is should we (WP:Big Brother) adopt this new classification? I think so since now B-Class has had its requirements tightened and I had demote 11 former B-Class articles to C-Class due to the new change. Also this means that some of the Start/Stub articles could move up to C-Class classification as well. Since I kinda implimented this without a proper discussion you can see which articles I had to demote from B-Class and why and from my understanding articles that moved up to C-Class. So after explaining my mistake, my question is should we continue with C-Class or just keep A-Class, FA-Class, B-Class, Start-Class, and Stub-Class? If you would like to discuss this please visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Big Brother.  ♪♫Al ucard   16♫♪  00:08, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Travis and Rima on the Infobox
I think we should add that Travis left temporaily on Day 33 and returned on Day 35 due to an injury. and Rima that she left on Day 5, returned on Day 63? and left on Day 66 --BigOz22 (talk) 22:20, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Travis - I don't think leaving the house for a short period for medical attention should be noted, and hasn't done in past series. Rima - HouseGuests should not be noted. In23065 (talk) 22:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Corey
What day did Corey left? I am watching BBAUS on Youtube and it was "Day 18", not Day 19. So the highlights were on Day 19. So was it officaly announced that Corey left on Day 19? (Friday - 19, Saturday - Day 20, Sunday Eviction - Day 21.). (P.S this information is placed on Week 3's Summary/Highligths tabe.) --BigOz22 (talk) 02:50, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

It is ridiculous that this is all the information wikipedia can provide on Corey Delaney. Put to shame by Encyclopedia Dramatica, it seems. Earfetish1 (talk) 19:20, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to know who Corey Delaney is and why everybody is talking about him. This page is what came up when I typed in his name. I think wikipedia is screwed up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.194.52.152 (talk) 06:46, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Ratings
Guys, please provide sources for the ratings table or it will be deleted. This season aired years ago and I'm finding it very hard to find any link to any ratings source, except for one that stipulates the finale did not reach 1.51m. Therefore, I do believe the ratings table was created by a fan without any credibility. So, either provide a source or the table goes. Bbmaniac (talk) 11:15, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
