message: Removed speculation from article: "Insiders have reported that this year's Big Brother will feature a live streaming feed on one of the extra Digital TV Channels running from 10am to Midnight.

message: Surnames should not be used on articles related to a current season of Big Brother. Once season is finished and all names are released, they can go on this article. This is a privacy issue and also relates to the shows structure. Official Site, Press Releases and all shows; Housemates are referred to by only their assigned names, genreally their first name; or an alias, eg. TJ. --Theloon 09:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I am getting reverted for putting in names of contestants whose surnames I come across in news articles. How is that a privacy issue? They release their full names to the media. Their fault. Nobody can stalk them (until they get evicted). They are locked up in a house. I would like a Third Opinion on this. Thanks. --Lakeyboy 11:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I think it's perfectly fine to have full names of contestants as they become available. Privacy? They're being screened on the internet and TV 24/7, they are cast on a 3 month TV show, why should they be singled out to not reveal their full names if press releases and news reports give their full name? The contestant bio summaries on the article give enough detail to provide a full name and alias when birth dates and additional info is given. Also, all other articles provide the full name, along with other reality shows and tv shows, I say go for it. Peter 13:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there is a special WP rule that surnames are not allowed to be revealed even where there is a credible external source that gives the surname? If there is, I'd like to see a link to it posted here. If not, all the surnames should be reinstated. Format 23:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Having a quick look, there seems to be no mention of issues with privacy to filter content on current events, it seems rediculous to me - I'd be interested to see an official document, either from the network, the show producers, the distributors, the media, wikipedia, or Australian privacy law. Obviously the show tries to hide the full names, but should that be taken across the board in all media, are newspapers and media reports "breaking the rules" or "privacy laws" by publishing their full name. I see no reason for surnames not to be shown, they are in previous seasons and international versions. Full names are only necessary in the biographical descriptions, all other references should be their alias or first name (on tables etc) Peter 00:23, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Previous season contestants surnames were added after show aired. TEN Network does not release these surnames until after housemates have left the building, any mention of surnames in news or other media is purely from a 3rd party source, so I don't see any point in having surnames prior to season end. Why differ now 7 seasons on? --Theloon 01:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not true.  Previous season surnames were added into the article as soon as they became known 5 May or earlier (show ran until July 2006). —Moondyne 06:16, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The presence of a "3rd party source" is the factor which decides that information is included in WP; we don't omit information just because it only appears in a 3rd party source. If the makers of the series choose to refer to housemates by first or nick-name only within the series then that is their business and its probably done to enhance the drama and mystique of the series, but this is irrelevant to us as WP editors, and more important, it is not binding: we are not employees of Channel Ten or Big Brother and may refer to the housemates' surnames as long as a credible external source that corroborates that surname is also given in the article. Format 02:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't disagree with that, However my basis for the no surnames is only on the other 6 seasons, This article is about the TV show, not the housemates; so in terms of encyclopedic material I see no reason to include surnames. However If reliable references are provided along with surname placement I see no issue. --Theloon 02:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Ok, according to this discussion, I am going to place references on the four five housemates surnames that I have found by third party Australian media outlets. The purpose of Wikipedia is to expand on information, not to restrict it if the information is available. --Lakeyboy 02:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Big Brother UK articles have the surnames put in right when they're revealed (in both the article and Big Brother housemates templates). I don't see any difference here. Geoking66 06:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Aust BB articles in WP in the past have added the surnames whenever they are noted in an external source, even if halfway through the series; it has never been the case that WP editors add them only after the series ends. Format 19:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: In the Housemates section of the article, should we always update each housemate with any information (about the person and/or any info that happens whilst they are in the BB house)?  I think this should be looked at in terms of only putting "notable" items of interest and that can be verified by sources with ref cited.  What does everyone think? --Mikecraig 03:09, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think bio information about each contestant should be kept to a bare minimum, the article isn't about the contestants, it's about the show. Information directly related to events of the show should mostly be kept in a section of it's own, a brief mention might be suitable in the individual contestant info Peter 09:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I just deleted the "Zach" nickname from Zoran's entry. In other parts of this page the Firstname "Nickname" Surname configuration is used, but in other cases the nickname listed is the nickname devised and used within the Big Brother house. These nicknames have in previous seasons been devised by the show where two housemates have the same, or similar sounding names, and they are not always their real-life nicknames. "Zach", however, is I believe a real-life nickname of Zoran's. But here it had been listed in the manner suggesting it was a Big Brother-devised nickname, made-up for use in the show. It isn't, and he is known as "Zoran" in the show. If someone thinks its really important I guess it can be added back, but it should not be formatted in the way it was but included as part of his bio description. Format 21:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

text: The MAIN voice is always the executive producer of the show, currently Kris Noble. Mrmoocow 23:24, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The voices are whichever Producer is doing the shift at that time. The main BB voice is that of the main Producer, as stated above, Kris Noble. In all Aust BB seasons this has always been the case, though in the first two seasons it was a different producer (Peter Abbott). After the first season Peter Abbott was interviewed on air by Four Corners about his role producing the show, so it is hardly any secret! Also, their names all appear in the credits of the shows - so again, hardly a secret. Format 11:12, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Do you think we should mention that in the main Big Brother Australia article? We could, couldn't we, so long as we had a spoiler tag. Mrmoocow 07:03, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it really a spoiler? It is not like someone we have been seeing in the show all along is surprisingly unmasked as Big Brother in the final episode. On all and any TV show, the top person in charge of everything is the producer. In other shows, you never (or only rarely) see the producer. So far BB is the same as all other TV programs. Only difference is that while the participants hear his/her commands, so too do the show's viewers. Format 11:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The article currently suggests evicted housemates wont ever appear on Rove because it is now on aired Sunday. But we need a reference to corroborate that that really is the reason why. To simply jump to the conclusion and write it here is original research. There is no reason why they can't appear via sattellite link, or appear in person the week after their eviction, or even several weeks after their eviction. When BB season ends, they might appear then. On the other hand, the Rove producers might have decided they don't want any housemates for reasons in no way connected to the Sunday night screening. We simply cannot assume their non-appearance is only because Rove is now on Sunday. Format 03:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: 1. If the White Room Wildcards are given a day of exit, why shouldn't they be given Day 2 as their entry? The White Room is still a part of the house and the key and information below will let people know they were not normal housemates. If there is any issue, just change it back.
2. The idea of eviction is letting the *public* decide who will go. Because Hayley was "forced" to go by Big Brother, this should be noted, rather than having her as a normal eviction.

text: Not sure, but the website of the education institution (www.meg.edu.au) she apparently worked for before entering the house had her down as Luscott in a newsletter: www.meg.edu.au/pdfs/alumni_news.pdf (bottom of first page). There is also the surname "Zalewski" for the Director in the contacts page - and a Luscott in the Human Resources position. It leads me to believe that both names are valid - perhaps the Luscott is the mothers maiden name.

message: Link to Behind Big Brother website Behind Big Brother has been added. I think it should be removed.
I feel this site falls into the category of Links normally to be avoided. Specifically this point: 2. Any site that misleads the reader by use of factually inaccurate material or unverifiable research. See Reliable sources for explanations of the terms "factually inaccurate material" or "unverifiable research". 
Mainly Behind Big Brother is full of speculation and conjecture that would not be allowed in WP itself. Like, it claims that Andrew in 2007 season had a special deal with producers of the show... No, he only claimed he did in a discussion with other housemates... He might well have been lying to them as a trick to gain advantage in the show or some other ulterior motive. However Behind Big Brother presents Andrew's own claims as if it is a fact that Andrew did indeed have a special deal with the producers, when there is no confirmation that he really did. There are many other similar bits of conjecture/speculation through the site (Why Kyle really left), and this is often reproduced as if it is proven fact. All very misleading.

replies: text: They certainly have an axe to grind, but their logic is ludicrous. This week they have published complaints about Gretel going in to house in 2007 to ask the HMs questions. According to Behind Big Brother, this contravenes the 'no outside contact' rule. What the?!? Gretel has gone in the house during at least 3 previous seasons (inlcuding the first, in 2001). Big Brother and Gretel always ask the HMs questions from the outside through every season that has ever been aired, so asking viewer scripted questions is hardly different. But BBBA complains that the content of the questions "come from the outside". It is a very pedantic and wildly overcritical site, & certainly not neutral. Format 19:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Don't worry. I was very confused at first as well. The show did start on Day 0, and the others did enter on Day 2. Although it would appear they entered the day after, they didn't - it was two days. That's because the Daily Shows (not any other live specials) air the day after they happened - and the launch wasn't live (therefore the initial housemates entered a day before we saw them on TV). But the live specials (such as when the others entered) are live (as is implied) so if it was live and they entered a day after our time, it would have been two days after their time (i.e. Day #). Hope you understand, I didn't do a very good job at explaining that. ;) •97198 talk 11:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
