New Page[edit]

holly said herself that she didn't replace anyone. it took time for them to get things straightened out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.34.174 (talk) 04:18, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So far, I've updated the page to match that of the US versions of Big Brother, as the shows have similar rules and schedules. The pages for the newest seasons of BB have a separate page titled List of Big Brother [season number] HouseGuest. As it stands right now, there's not enough information on the contestants of The Glass House to form this separate page yet, however, as the show progresses, I would like to make a similar page for TGH. If nobody has any objections, I will make this page after the second or third episode airs, as there will probably be enough information at that point to make a decent article. Also, I would like to change the Entrances of the contestants from Ep. 1 to Day 1, similar to how Big Brother is. For now, I will leave it at Ep. 1, as the show has not aired yet, however, I would like to change it to 'Day 1' after the first or second episode, as that is how Big Brother is formatted. Once again, if nobody objects to this, I will update it soon. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Captain's Vote[edit]

It's my understanding that because the Team Captain is automatically going to limbo, that they do not get a chance to vote.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.83.137.110 (talk) 19:13, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is correct though if there is a tie, the captain will serve as the tiebreaking vote. FarceFan (talk) 21:02, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sequestered in Hotel[edit]

Is there any evidence that the contestants are sequestered into a hotel? If there's no evidence displaying that then I believe it should be removed from the summary. WhiteShadow541 (talk) 04:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Sethjohnson95 (talk) 12:39, 07 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

The contestants' occupations should remain as they are. That is what is stated on the ABC website, and it should not be changed. Jacob is not a "gay porn star", and Stephanie is not an "annoying scientist". The elimination has not occured yet, so please quit changing Gene to being voted out. Lastly, Stephanie walked from the game, she was not bribed. Please do not change it to bribed. -- Sethjohnson95 (talk) 20:47, 07 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism/Spoilers[edit]

Whoever is editing at the moment needs to stop. I don't think it's anything other than someone trolling the page to want Holly back into the game and win (when I'm sure that's impossible at this point). I'm going to attempt to undo the changes that have happened over the last bit. Nemle22 (talk) 20:18, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to 128.36.172.38 in helping me sort the incorrect postings.

Done -- Nemle22 (talk) 20:48, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Protection requests go on WP:RPP, but this seems to have stopped anyway and wouldn't merit a protection regardless, as only one or two editors were involved. In such a case, better to deal with the editors and revert the article than protect the article further, and that appears to have been done. -— Isarra ༆ 06:21, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged last names[edit]

We go through this frequently with reality-show articles, and both the Wikipedia policy WP:BLP and longstanding talk-page consensus on these shows' talk pages direct that no uncited personal claims of living people are allowed. The alleged last names — and Wikipedia articles have gotten incorrect last names more than once in the past — are unsourced. The show's official site gives no last names. So where do they come from? Unless we have a journalistic reliable-source citation or some other reliable source that's not some self-published fan site or anonymously sourced reality-show gossip site, Wikipedia is clear we cannot make such claims. For example, cite local newspapers, which often write about local reality-show contestants. Please remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a fan site, and encyclopedias are supposed to contain only concrete, verifiable, confirmable information that can be traced to a credible, authoritative source. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:26, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Information[edit]

Since both Erica and Andrea were never officially announced which place they finished in, the charts etc. should list them both as runner-up.--Cooly123 17:07, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

The show did show their placement. Following Kevin's announcement as winner, it was shown under their name in the confessional. It was pretty easy to miss! --SethJohnson95 17:41 23 August, 2012
