Wikipedia isn't very reliable, anyone could have written it.

Would the other three count as evicted housemates?
Interesting you've noted this, however... I'm still in the hope that there's a lot more to come from this BB series.
As for Wikipedia, I used to find it extremely reliable and excellent because it always had latest and concise information... until I realised that, as you say, it can be edited by anyone!

It quite simply means that there is a total of 18, 3 of which have been evicted (Emily, Lesley, Shabnam) and the remaining 15 are in the house. They obviously havn't updated since Seany left.

Wikipedia doesn't publish any incorrect information and there are hundreds of administrators world wide moderating every edit. I just meant that Wikipedia isn't always perfectly accurate when it gets down to statistics, or sometimes it's just a case of it not being updated.

Hence my use of the word "unreliable" in the title, and the mention of it "can be edited by anyone."
