Over complicated coding
I've reverted some overly complicated, and some interpretive coding from the two tables. In the main table, there's need a color for every eventuality. A note or an explanation in the (thus far missing) narrative can explain Rue's situation. Worse, the high/low coding in Star Salvation makes assumptions about the meaning of the way the competitors are eliminated. This is a much simpler competition, that doesn't require overly detailed coding; the past two seasons simply used in and out, this season is the same system; designating high and low makes pretty big assumptions about what the pattern of eliminations means with so few competitors. Three IN, one OUT, that's it. --Drmargi (talk) 06:54, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- For starters, I'm not the one who added "HIGH" in the Star Salvation section. Second, how is this overly complicated? In past seasons (I didn't start watching it until season 8), maybe there wasn't a time where the winner of a challenge ended up going home anyway. True, different seasons of a series should probably follow a similar fashion, but it doesn't necessarily have to be exactly the same way (and please point out this "status quo" you speak of, please). You also said to "create the narrative"...um, that's what I did. What exactly is the problem here? Erpert blah, blah, blah... 08:12, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- First off, don't take what I said personally. I didn't address myself to you; I just commented on the article. Second, there's no narrative. There's a list of competitors and a table of outcomes. Where are the descriptions of the episodes the table is supposed to support? Rue's win (if you can even call it that) in the early challenge was a minor thing; it simply allowed her to swap partners, and had no bearing on the outcome. It certainly doesn't need a special color code when it could be noted in a few words in the non-existent narrative. Third, I don't see high and low in Star Salvation, just three staying and one going. There's simply no need to need to make distinctions that aren't there. --Drmargi (talk) 23:22, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not taking anything personally; I guess I'm just confused by what you mean by "narrative". Erpert blah, blah, blah... 23:59, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Star Salvation
- Drmargi, why doesn't this apply to the contestant progress section as well then? I think the progress in both sections should be formatted the same way. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 07:10, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
