I was there in the IRC when you came in and brought this topic up, Sam. We made it very clear, for several reasons, why we can't update the pages based on what's aired in France.

First of all, we updated the stuff aired in the US before Canada because both are in close proximity, within the same Time Zone, and both speak English. As Ryan said, this is an English-speaking Wiki. For that same reason, we were fine with the updates from Australia, since they also speak English. Additionally, however, we also had no idea that a third station besides Teletoon or CN would get the next season first. Thus, we were unprepared for it and just went along with it. Now, however, we are much better-prepared for the leaking ahead of time by a third station. Plus, again, that station doesn't speak English. It's very hard to update new info, trivia, etc. when we can't even understand what they're saying.

Second: It's so pointless, and almost dumb, to say "Just lock the entire wiki." I mean, really? We can't lock a whole Wiki based on one new season, especially one that doesn't include any of the original contestants. And yes, some of them have camoes, but like Bigez said, we have Staff members and other users who are ready to combat vandalism and posted spoilers. That's the very point of having reliable users like Council members; so that they can fend off vandalism and spoilers. To lock everything would be redundant.

And Izzynsierrafan12: Repeatedly shouting that this isn't fair is not going to help your case. If anything, keeping the necessary pages locked, other pages unlocked, and keeping spoilers off until further notice is very fair. To lock all the pages, or unlock all the pages, would be unfair.
