Spoilers

I am just posting this right away as I've seen on talk pages from seasons past about people complaining about the spoilers this page has! Those who want to complain, remember, it's NEVER updated to the episodes as it airs on TV, it updates with the 24/7 LIVE FEEDS! If you do not want spoilers, then I would suggest not visiting this page prior to the episode airing if thats how you enjoy your Big Brother! :-)

Sorry do not mean to offend or be rude to anyone, just wanted to put that out there and although it may not work as people will complain about the fact there is spoilers, at least its posted right away and people will know its not the first time and will not be the final time. It's been like this since Big Brother 1 and will continue to do so until Big Brother ends! Demers-vachon 16:26, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Two Head of Households

Included separate lines for the two HoHs since each will have their own nominations and just one line for HoH and Nominations will get confusing. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 18:01, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should wait and see how they do it before making any changes to the table. --MSalmon (talk) 18:03, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was just going by the press release CBS has out which says they will have their own nominations its up to you all but I just was bold and made the table adjustments so if that is the case the table isn't messed up by someone who may not understand the code ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 18:06, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Made a few changes for now but we can alter as and when we need to --MSalmon (talk) 18:10, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here is my thoughts on how it will work: HoH's nominate two people each, four HG's up. Battle of the Blocks takes place between both HoH's and their nominees, winning team gets immunity and losing team ALL put up for eviction (including HoH). PoV competition takes place as usual, three HG's are up after PoV ceremony. --MSalmon (talk) 18:24, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move in date in infobox

Hi, until we know that the two groups officially entered the house on separate days then leave as Day 1 until we know more. --MSalmon (talk) 21:46, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They all moved in Day 1. The first group in the morning/afternoon and the second later that night. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.139.127 (talk) 01:42, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I would say we leave the days blank for the second eight and just put Day 1 in for the first eight until the 2nd episode airs. Unless there is a source saying group two entered on x day then leave it blank for now cause no one officially knows. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 06:41, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it will be on different days, if last night's episode ended with the HoH comp, then tonight's episode will will be the same --MSalmon (talk) 08:21, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the Day 2 removed from the 2nd group of Housemates without discussion? The 2nd premiere episode clearly was on the 2nd day of the game considering Julie had a new dress on, new studio audience, and the 1st eight had new clothes on? ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 02:01, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your kidding me right. It could take 10 minutes for Julie to change a dress and have the audience switch out when that audience is comprised of CBS and Big Brother workers. Most of the first 8 had the same clothing on aswell, so it's clear they all moved in Day 1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.255.112.182 (talk) 04:20, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unless the Sunday episode says "Day 1" in the recap at the beginning then it should be left as Day 2 as per the episode that aired. The evidence in the second part of the premiere indicate the episode was filmed on a different day than Day 1. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 05:14, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Alucard. The episode will start on Sunday picking up where they left off tonight, and when they go from black and white to color, the Day number will show up on the screen. This will give us confirmation. BlueDevil54 (talk) 07:11, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The beds in the cave room looked slept in as well. I'm guessing they moved in on Day 2.

Inquiries

Who marked Paola as evicted on Day 13? How do we even have that information this early on, with the feeds not even up until late tonight? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.87.91.129 (talk) 17:22, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know but it was removed --MSalmon (talk) 18:18, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Voting table

Hi, anybody have any ideas on how to do the table. Is it ok as it is now or does it need to be changed? --MSalmon (talk) 21:56, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you(or someone else, I really didn't pay attention to who edited it) made the BotB winners placed before the pre-veto nominees. I get why it was done and it looks nice now but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense chronologically. It makes it look like BotB took place before the nomination ceremony. Plus, when a new week starts and we have access to feeds for the whole week, how will we put the nominees in the table when they only have one row to be placed in? The point is that it doesn't accurately reflect game information. Brittany and Victoria were nominated. and then won BotB, the table makes it look like they were never nominated at all. I suggest reverting it to the way we had it with each pair of nominees being placed in their own box, then BotB winners, then PoV winners, then final noms. BlueDevil54 (talk) 23:13, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't me who changed the layout --MSalmon (talk) 08:44, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure we need the brown color there for dethroned HoH. As Julie said, once their noms win the BotB, they revert back to normal HG status. It would also cause a problem if the dethroned HoH were to be nominated, b/c then they'd have two statuses at once. T (talk) 07:44, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
