Contribute
Would you please help me update The Bigg boss season 5 article because this time around nobody seems to update it and it's pretty hard for me to do it all alone! You seem like a guy who could come to some Good use to the article. Please add the weekly summary and rating sections if feasible. --Heyhello1234567 (talk) 14:49, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I too encourage everyone to update and contribute regularly. HotWick (talk) 20:27, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Last season things were slow on here for a few weeks than they picked up.--Cooly123 23:01, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

It aint picking up man...i'm the only one who updates it regularly..last year the article was updated with the results minutes after the broadcast and now even after hours, when i check in, the article is usually the same as i left it days ago. please ask ppl to cooperate. thnk you--Heyhello1234567 (talk) 12:22, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Mahek is about to return, I read it on yahoo,she has confirmed it, how can I edit it? Singhaldipanshu (talk) 18:52, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 90% of the edits on this page are made by me, when she enters the house on Saturday i'll make changes myself. we can't edit it until she steps in! and she hasn't won the poll yet as well. Laxmi and Shonali are also possible entrants so we can't edit it beforehand! Sorry--Heyhello1234567 (talk) 10:10, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

--Cooly123 03:52, 23 December 2011 (UTC)Wouldn't we want to place this into the controversy section when she renters as a "wildcard" since it is very close to the finale?
 * Everything that happens in Bigg Boss is partially or sometimes fully scripted. Mahek's entry does make it very clear that they want her to win because she's Salman's favourite candidate. Similarly, the same thing happened in season3 when Vindu won so i know i have to edit the article one day according to her win. n about the controversy thing, i'll add a point once a headline arises regarding it beacause i need sources to make a news look authentic =). Btw, i've added a huge section in Bigg Boss regarding partially towards housemates and the rigged format. Have a look at it!--Heyhello1234567 (talk) 05:02, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

I really wanted to help you Heyhello1234567 for your immense contribution towards this article. It so happened that I followed almost every season of Big Boss and this season too I watched almost all the episodes for the first two months. But of late I am not able to watch it properly so as to write its synopsis clearly. Moreover writing off Big Boss this season was most troublesome as it had the maximum number of fights, catfights (almost daily) that it's hard to remember who fought who and for what reason in the last episode. But hats off to you for your great hard work. --Msrag (talk) 13:07, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank You so much for the kind words. It's a passion and i hope it continues on with the upcoming seasons too. I only edited the season 5 and have been editing from the beginning. I added new sections like the stay history and the voting history is much more easier this time to comprehend, alongwith the new participants table and the flag section on the infobox. I update the controversy section regularly too so that readers would clearly get the idea what's happening in the media. So hearing that ppl appreciate my work means a lot. thank You! Btw Barntars would make my day! lol =)--Heyhello1234567 (talk) 15:14, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

FLAGS PLACEMENTS
International versions of the Big brother have flags beside the days of entry of the participants. it looks both chic and makes it easier to read the names of the housemates. I was the one who added flags in the list ,in the first place, pursuing the format adopted by Big brother africa. Please i insist that their format should also be continued in Bigg Boss too. Thank u.. Flags should be placed beside the days only!! Besides all of that the list looks very congested now as the names are getting mixed up with the borderline of the pictures! --Heyhello1234567 (talk) 12:27, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Stay In THe House Section
I think it's absolutely useless, as the INFOBOX, Housemates list, and Voting History provide all that info. --BigOz22 (talk) 23:21, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not added to promise any uses but It allows you to compare each housemate's stay to another which is not so easy when we see the Infobox! Some housemates also spend some part of their stay in secret rooms and others as guests so it demonstrate the nature of their stay and the number of days they spent in the secret room or as guests! Hence, It shouldn't be removed. Thank you! You can check out season 4's stay history to see how it turns out after all the episodes have been aired and some housemate spends time in the secret room. --Heyhello1234567 (talk) 15:57, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with BigOz22, it is an necessary repetition. Infobox and Voting History do the same job. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 18:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Uneccesary Features of Article
There are two things that I find absolutely unnecessary in the article.

The first one, is the section of "Stay in the house", both the infobox, and nominations history show the length, there are no "secret" rooms", "second houses", so there is no need for that to be in there, it's in my opinion useless and takes up unnecessary space.

The other thing is the Friends/Families Nominations, like in this year's Big Brother UK, that can be shoved easily as the actual housemates with a note saying who nominated who.

I don't understand why each and every article on Big Brother follows completely different rules, i.e why Philippines use the word "Forced Eviction" and "Voluntarily Exit", when in reality, it's the same as ejected/expelled (which is used in different Big Brothers as well). --BigOz22 (talk) 21:54, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

POV towards contestants and original research (OR)

 * POV: Many sentences adjectives to the contestants making them black or white: "Pooja M., who was mercilessly bullied throughout the show", "Raageshwari Loomba, who is known for looking at positive side of things", "After the incident Vida grew even more unpopular with the audience as media sidelined this issue boldly defending Pooja M. and calling her a victim of accusations inside the house."
 * The reasons of "After Pooja Misrra's unexpected exit, Bigg boss 5 started to lose its sky scraping viewership in less than a week" are all ORs and blog is not a WP:RS.
 * OR (Uncited claims by contestants) in "Controversies" and "Post Eviction Claims" section too.-- Redtigerxyz Talk 11:11, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
