Reported Problem for Episode 8 (24x8)
posted by duckjSTAFFMOD on July 30, 2022 at 3:13 PM
Item: Episode 8 (24x8)
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The episode on 2022-07-21 (originally episode 7) was preempted by live news events. CBS decided to air a single 2-hour episode on 2022-07-24.
Per the official show source, https://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/, episode 7 was 86 minutes long on 2022-07-24 and there was NO episode 8. The next episode is 9 on 2022-07-27.
Therefore, please lock episode 7 with an 86 minute runtime and remove episode 8 entirely (episode 9 may also need to be locked to block additional edit wars). If consecutive episode numbers are a requirement, could episode 8 be set and locked with a 0-minute runtime?

Episode 7 has been locked. I also locked the episode name and number of every subsequent episode but the airdates were left unlocked since I'm not at all familiar with this show. The season was also locked to prevent Episode 8 from being added.
I've only ever encountered two other shows where the website skips an episode number (This Is Us and Star Trek: Prodigy). In the case of This Is Us, it was decided to list the episode using the numbering on the website, skipping the "missing" episode entirely.
