Project: Contestant Information

Hello people,

I have spent quite a while today adding information from Mike's notes about the contestants from series 25 onto the corresponding Wiki pages. Wondering if anyone else would like to have a go at this as quite a lot of the contestant pages are untouched since they were created as skeleton pages and have short descriptions of the people normally just including the series they partook in. Unless anyone requests otherwise I'll allocate them by series - and if anyone wants to take charge I'm happy to let them take over.

I will. Even though I'm not 100% sure what you're on about...

Sounds like you've just given yourself a job, Joseph. :) I thought I might have a bash at doing some at some point, but not until I've finished with historical recaps. If you want to set up some kind of allocation by series, it's fine by me. And well done for doing some work on those for Series 25. Finally, any budding scan readers please note: my spelling of place names isn't always very good, especially on the older ones; my geography has improved over the years, but it's still far from perfect!

I know. These peeps came to our house and we hadn't made any lunch so we had to wait until they went to eat and they left at quarter to three, lunch took ten mins to prepare and I've just finished. :D

Or a more detailed version of what Joseph said, Ryan, is this: Joseph's friend came for a sleepover last night and Joseph's friend's mum was talking to mine and Joseph's mum, for ages! Joseph's friend's mum picked Joseph's friend up from our house today at 12:45 or thereabouts, and we hadn't had time to have lunch yet. Joseph's friend's mum and mine and Joseph's mum were talking for literally about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Then, of course, mine and Joseph's mum had to cook dinner which took around 20 minutes. Therefore we had a late lunch. We don't normally have our lunches as late as that. We normally have them at about 1:30pm which, still, some people would call late. We have our teas, which are late to other people also, at around 7pm.

BUMP.

Just realised that if we can organise and categorize known locations and occupations then we can create some interesting statistics. Anyone interested?

Definitely an interesting idea. Mike does have notes on virtually every series and they do have the player's locations on them, so would be interesting.

I'll do some Series 17 ones, as soon as I get a countdown wiki account...
