Move-in Day
@Spanneraol and NintendoGeek: Do we have a source that today is Day 1, just wondering so that we can add the filming date to the article now if possible. TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:08, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Well.. twitter reports from Vegas the spoiler [1] and other BB twitter sites... they probably don't qualify as reliable sources for wikipedia though. Spanneraol (talk) 05:14, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Got it, thanks. We'll eventually be able to source it through the show itself because we can back count the number of days (which is usually shown during broadcast) from the live finale. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:27, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Well if there is a reliable source stating they will be in the House for 29 Days then move in day would be 1/16/19 since the finale is scheduled for 2/13/19. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 06:05, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- That would work too, just haven't had any luck finding one. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:16, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Number of Cameras and Microphones
I know this a small detail but on November 27, 2018 CBS Press Express released a press release that stated the BIG BROTHER house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move
. However, in the most recent press release from January 14, 2019 about the cast CBSPE stated in a house outfitted with over 80 HD cameras and over 100 microphones recording their every move
. They've also updated the about section with the same figures ([2]). Meanwhile, on the CBB CBS about page it reads in a house outfitted with 87 HD cameras and more than 100 microphones, recording their every move
. Just wondering which figures should be used? It could be but should not be assumed that 94 and 113 is over 80 and 100 especially with the CBS page reading 87 and 100. TheDoctorWho (talk) 02:35, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- Sounds like they got their numbers mixed up this time around :/ I would either go with the first press release that had the exact number 94 cameras/113 microphones or go with the second with the estimate of 80 cameras/100 microphones. The thing about the website is that it changes frequently so it could eventually read the same as the main Big Brother website with no numbers for cameras & microphones. The press release doesn't change once its released a follow-up press release may correct something in a previous release. The thing is the two don't seem to clash the newest is an estimate while the first isn't written as an estimate. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 04:49, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
Infobox image
This discussion also applies to Big Brother 17 (U.S. season), Big Brother 18 (U.S. season), Big Brother 19 (U.S. season) and Big Brother 20 (U.S. season).
I've been thinking about the images in the infobox recently and is it absolutely necessary to have the same image over multiple articles? While CBB2 hasn't premiered yet its highly possible the logo in the opening will be the same as Celebrity Big Brother 1 (U.S. season). Reviewing the MOS:TVIMAGE it actually recommends a season-specific promotional poster or home media cover should be used, or possibly a season-specific title card if one exists.
The thing is since 2015 American Big Brother no longer have a "season-specific title card" so according to the manual of style the same title card should not be used on multiple articles. Using it on season sixteen and the main article is fine but it shouldn't be used on every season article. Instead we should be looking at what promotional material is available like this since the promotional logo at least changes color each year. (CBB1 was purple, CBB2 is green for example). This promotional image that CBS used a lot last summer would be better suited for Big Brother 20. The briefly used "Big Brother: Takeover" logo would be better suited for season 17, etc. Dancing with the Stars (U.S. TV series) seasons 2-26 is a great example of using promotional images in the infobox since the logo is the same every season.

1st HOH
CarterMatt (a reputable source) claims that Ryan Lochte will be the first HOH. Should we fill that in now, or wait until it's officially announced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.25.63 (talk) 03:12, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Was this revealed during a Live Feed leak? Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 10:53, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- The "evidence" is that on a live feed preview, Kato said Ryan didn't have to give him the hoh key cause he "had one made" (he was joking)... this implies that Ryan was hoh... but in my opinion is not strong enough evidence of such to include in the article.
