Talk:Big Brother (British TV series) series 7/Archive 1

message: There are hidden messages in the new title sequence.  Can anyone slow down the sequence to see what it says?  There may be clues in there! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mcrosby78 (talk • contribs) .
:One step ahead of you! I have already checked the title sequence, and the "words" which seem to appear are all jumbled with the actual sequence, making a lot of the ineligble. I'm not even sure if a lot of them are actual words, they seem very random. The red "test card" is all part of it too. It just says: "This is the title sequence for Big Brother", and then some stuff about "by taking part in Big Brother you agree to abide by the rules, the rules may change at any time", as well as "NOT FOR TRANSMISSION" (?) and, curiously, "(C) Channel 4 MCMIII" ... 1903?? The titles are just random as far as I can tell, and are just meant to get people like you and me talking about them... ;) Tomcage9 22:18, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

text: *I think the words 'You are being observed' appear in the text, but not necessairily in that order. -TonyW 23:43, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

text: *The word "Temptation" appears to be there too. Essexmutant 00:08, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I slowed down the title sequence to last night's Big Brother's Big Mouth - there are four sets of scrambled words and the only complete words you see are YOU, ARE, BEING and OBSERVED in that order and one in each set - all the other words you see are incomplete. There are words in and out of the breaks too, but I forget what they are now and would have to go home to see them again. (Lee Stanley 18:01, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi. I know that 'Nikki' is actually a mole or fake contestant, placed by the producers into the house. She's an actress. I suppose I'm unable to cite my sources on this, given that there's secrecy involved. I suppose that because of this I can't place this information on the main page, which is frustrating. Is there any Wiki policy on citing sources for information that should be kept secret? Would it be ok to cite this information about Nikki here, on the discussion page, for posterity?
:*No, I don't think you can as that info, if indeed true, cannot be verified at present. If and when it becomes apparent what you're saying is right, this would be added to the main article as it would then be in the public domain. -TonyW 23:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: * Ok, fair enough. It should come out in about 2 weeks or so, with rumours appearing in a few days at least.
;* She does appear very false. Perhaps we could say in the article that her manner is apparently staged and there are rumours that she is an actress? --Belteshezzar 23:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I suggest that a page be made for "Sexual Terrorist" and other words which may in the course of this series become a: largely in public domain b: quoted in daily newspapers and c: become used by the people in the house
Well, i'm not sure what one is, so contributions will have to be made by the myriad of folk who read wikipedia.  I'll make one myself at the weekend if there are no serious objections.

:A turn of phrase being only notable for being used by someone on BB7 does not merit a Wikipedia article, I'm afraid. Non-neologistic terms in more common usage might fit in Wiktionary, and phrases associated with BB7 contestants if they are heavily quoted might fit in Wikiquote. —Whouk (talk) 09:08, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Pages Suggested 

message: I suggest the two pages get merged, whatever good content is in the other page gets put into here. This page follows naming convention for the other serieses, and the same template as the other serieses and the wikiproject. -- 9cds(talk) 01:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

I was just wondering if it was worth adding a list of references on the bottom of the page? Anyone know a good way to do this? Worth doing? -- 9cds(talk) 14:01, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mmmm... it would look better, but would probably be a nightmare to maintain during the show. I'd probably say keep the embedded links during the show, and perhaps do Footnotes in September. The JPS talk to me 14:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

message: What do people think about merging this with the Big Brother (UK series 7) nominations table page, as both are closely linked?
i know that these have been kept separate in the past

replies: text: I say keep them apart - it only makes the page look cluttered - at least, it does when incomplete. -- 9cds(talk) 16:49, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose very shortly to add a Pete fansite, after Nikki's ecstatic tribute in the diary room shown on yesterday's show. Any views or objections? Maybe objections on the basis of WP:EL?--luke 03:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I dunno, if you had one fansite, people might say, "Well, if a Pete fansite's here, then X housemate fansite should be here too" and so on until there's a fansite for each individual person. 59.167.138.207 11:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly, and there's bound to be loads of websites for each springing up... so we'll have 12 year old webmasters trying to advertise their sites. The JPStalk to me 11:33, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I think that the whole article is very kind to Shahbaz i think his general annoyance and his aggressive behaviour are understated but i do understand that big brother articles are very difficult to edit because not many of us can say we have no opinions about the house mates and when you have a opinion it is hard not to let it slip into the edit —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.160.241 (talk • contribs) 
:I certainly think the sentence on Shahbaz's last day in the house is very accurate. It was bullying and it was Nikki who said to Sezer that he should take Shahbaz's clothes whilst he was swimming because "that would hurt him even more".--Johnbull 20:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
