This [1] clearly is for the 2007 series. The article, dated February 17, 2007 and says that the building will be used for, and I quote, "this summer's reality show". Anyone still disagree? Dalejenkins 08:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I can't see how they would have it ready in time. However i would love for the new location to be used for this season. I think it should stay as it is for now as you are right about what the article says so theres no reason to delete it yet. However i highly suspect that they will use the same location as last year for this season.
- I too heard that this is for next season, and not this season. Can't remember where I heard this though. Paul Norfolk Dumpling 18:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Swap with Australia rumour
Where did u hear of the Australian rumour?--SimonPeter 23:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- I can't find any sources backing it up, so I removed it. Tra (Talk) 23:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- BBUKSite.net posted it I believe. and here too. Coreix
- They say it's only a rumour. I think it's best to wait for something more reliable to show up. Tra (Talk) 14:54, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think it's OK to put this information in the article, as long as it is stated that it is only a rumour Paul Norfolk Dumpling 18:51, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Im from Australia and i haven't heard any UK swap rumours this year. I heard about them last year, but none this year. 3bay sam 06:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Start Date?
Has it been confirmed when the show will start? It says "Beginning of May 2007", but it's that now, and I still haven't seen any adverts for the show, which is unusual Paul Norfolk Dumpling 18:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- No date as of yet, as soon as its announced I'm sure the date will be posted on here within minutes. -- Chris as I am Chris 20:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- It actually says beginning in May. I think I read somewhere it was going to start on the 30th. (A rumour of course.) --LorianTC 21:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- I heard it was the 25th.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 17:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response. I'm just preparing myself for months of being in front of the TV in a vegetated state. Paul Norfolk Dumpling 18:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- Just so you know, it starts on 31 May, I read this on the report about Davina's sick baby, on sky news interactive. Paul Norfolk Dumpling 22:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Again that could just be speculation, until we have a press release from Channel 4 or Endemol, then we shouldn't put the start date in the article. Thanks. -- Chris as I am Chris 07:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Start date is 1st june; 8:30 according to http://press.channel4.com/listings/live/C4/live/2007_22/01_06_2007.htm also shows BBBM and live feed throughout the night, no mention of BB on previous dates - 89.243.218.81 17:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
- Nice. Added it to the article. --LorianTC 19:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
That article does not indicate the start date. All it indicates is that Big Brother will be on, on that day, not that its launching. Most of the tabloids and TV magazines are now saying it is May 30th. Source: Todays Heat Magazine.
The start date has been anounced by C4 press as 9pm Wednesday 30 May 2007. It has been added to the article, and I have added the referance. -- Chris as I am Chris 13:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Thankyou for posting the start date. Preparing myself for months of being unsocialable. Paul Norfolk Dumpling 20:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Housemates
Pleasantview: Where are you getting all these names from? You have provided no source, except for "the source is within," whatever that is supposed to mean. This just looks like vandalism at the moment. --LorianTC 10:02, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Lets just say I know more about this than you do.
There will be 15 housemates entering on the May 25, 2007 (Pleasantview 10:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC))
- Please refer to WP:NOR. Facts in articles must be verifiable. --LorianTC 10:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Official 15 housemates. Fine delete it. But save it in notepad and be sure to watch the premiere on the 25 and see the exact same names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pleasantview (talk • contribs)
The Sun should have an article about this later today or tomorrow. (Pleasantview 10:16, 14 May 2007 (UTC))
- What is your point? "Later today or tomorrow" isn't now, therefore it is unverifiable. --LorianTC 10:20, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks to Drunkenmonkey on IRC: "It stats in 417 hours,25mins according to the sun, but theres deffo no names on the page". I am reverting it back. If you do find a reliable source, post it here first. --LorianTC 10:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
The names are far too plain for bb, this is false.
I have updated the main page - the false names WERE false.
- If you check Pleasantview's user talk page, you'll see that he (she?) has been acting in violation of Wikipedia policy a lot, although of course to some extent we are supposed to expect newcomers to make mistakes...-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 12:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Logo
I'm not sure the colours of the logo are meant to be a reference to the rainbow flag, i.e. a confirmation of the gay rumour. It looks more like the TV tuning screen of old days, so it is perhaps a sign of a self-referential media-related theme. The rainbow flag has no grey in it. have another look it has grey in it 212.139.19.43 22:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Dermot
The article states that Dermot O'Leary will be back to present BBLB, but I read elsewhere that he can't do BBLB because of his new commitment as presenter of The X Factor - is that right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.108.145.10 (talk) 10:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC).
- The article is right, he will be doing both X Factor by day, and BBLB by night. -- Chris as I am Chris 10:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, Dermot confirmed on Soccer AM (12th May) that the X-Factor auditions had already started and won't clash with BBLB, which he is still doing Artynmay 01:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Should the page be Semi-protected?
As we near the start of Big Brother 2007, many people are coming on and posting rumours and false statements, I think the page should be semi-protected, anyone agree? Thanks. -- Chris as I am Chris 15:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Done by Majorly GDonato (talk) 17:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you. I just thought it needed to be done, as people were just coming on and adding fake housemate info every few minutes. -- Chris as I am Chris 17:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I agree completely. GDonato (talk) 17:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
