would you watch BB without live feed?

[The_Big_Send_Off]

i dont get it C5 said they are going back to basics and back to basics includes live feed! we NEEDto have it!
they brand the show as watching housemates 24/7 without live feed we wont be :/

[Jordan.]

Yeah, I dont think its THAT big a deal not to watch at all.

[Patrick]

Yes - we managed in 2009. :bored:

I still maintain that we need to protest or something or do something to make ourselves heard, because knowing those wankers on Digital Spy they'll lie down and take it like the pussies they are and that's the only forum Endemol or The Daily Star ever look at. :bored:

But then again when this happened 2 Years ago it was all 'LET'S ******ING RIOT!' '****** THE POLICE LET'S DO THIS!' and 'LET'S ALL SEND DEATH THREATS WOOHOO 2K9!'

And all that bollocks - and nothing ever came of it, except some legend who actually did send a death threat to the guy that ran Channel 4. :laugh:

So if we're going to do something - act now, not the 'I'll do it next week x.' approach.

[Chuck]

Yes, live feed is amazing but I'm way too unlucky to watch it when something interesting is happening anyway. :(

[RichardG]

Yeah, i'm not going to stop watching it just because there's no live feed, that's stupid. Live feed is great and all and the show isn't the same without it but at the end of the day, I love Big Brother, and nothing's going to stop me from watching it this summer. :dance:

[happybbfan]

They must know by now if they intend to have live feed tho.i thought the DS had an article on the live feed with multi cameras etc before the official announcement was made,anyone else remember this.

[Jarrod]

Yeah. I never even found out about the Live Feeds until UBB. I watched BBLive on E4. So i think i'd be ok without them :)

To send a death threat over a TV show which was on its way out? Lets get real.

And yes i would. LF does NOT make the show. It does not make ratings or improve the content. Im a Celebrity get me out of here has been the best reality tv show on TV for a good number of years now and the last 3 series or even before have had no LF and i have enjoyed them all.

It is complete nonsense to say BB is all about the LF. It isn't. I don't care too much about these common folk to watch them for hours. I only want to watch a quality 1 hour episode every night at 9 or 10 PM. Simple as that really.

[DigitalSid]

Not a chance.

[Gillian-73]

I'd still watch it there's no doubt about that but would prefer it to be there!

[DigitalSid]

Those who would's accepting what their given is what made it so hard to get it back for BB11.

[joeysteele]

Would be happier with it available but would still watch it, no problem.

[AJ.]

Hardly watched any of BB10 because of no LF, it's the whole point of the show fgs.

[ElProximo]

No Live-Feed just kills a massive amount of the 'spirit' and its interesting that core of hardcore fans online (TiBB) example might make a relatively small fraction but they FUEL the mainstream like mad.

No 'live feed updates' and you can really see the enthusiasm flat-line.

But yeah.. it really is a major premise that makes BB what it is. EVEN IF a lot don't watch feeds they are intrigued by the idea/challenge the HMs ARE being watched 24/7.

I'm awesome.

[Jords]

2nd option, and the 5 people who voted no lied..

[AJ.]

2nd option, and the 5 people who voted no lied..

I didn't :spin:

[Ramsay]

its never that good anyway

[Malza]

BB does not make any sense to me without live feed, the daily resume has his own made up story's, makes you see what they want you to believe.

[Black Dagger]

I would still watch, I'd be very annoyed and disappointed though...

[joeysteele]

It will also depend on how they edit this series too, I hope Channel 5 don't start to develop favourites and then ram them down our throats like Channel 4 started to do, especially last year with Josie and JJames, the times that even the highlights programmes had little else in them except them and that duvet was pathetic.

I hope their editing is fairer and portioned out equally as to time for all housemates but I do still think it will be better on Channel 5,certainly a vast improvement on production at least of it after the last series.

[dizzy bint]

I don't believe it truly is 'Big Brother' without the chance to watch live feed. Unless C5 somehow manage to get awesome housemates though I probably shan't watch it.

[CharlieO]

I would still But I wouldn't like it. The realism of the show will feel less promenant which is bad.

[keithafc]

This is something which baffles me. Any time i do catch the LF on Big Brother, it is utter rubbish. A lot of the time you just hear bird sounds and the cut the noise out when people are talking a lot of the time.

What is the point in that?

[ILoveTRW]

Wheres the "I couldn't care less about live feed" option?

[Marc]

I don't think I've watched BB live feed properly since BB3/4

I never really thought that many people watched it. It wouldn't take away the appeal for me

[MTVN]

I'm not that bothered about it, I'd watch it sometimes when it was on E4 but it's normally pretty boring tbh

[mj2303]

yeah i couldnt care less about live feed, it really isnt what makes the show. I mean would you still watch it it was only live feed and no highlights show.....errrm NO! It does not add anything tothe show as it is mostly bleeped out due to them talking about other people outside, or swearing and even cuts off due to nudity ect or just shows them sleeping. The highlight show is edited, yes but they will show the major stories going on in the house and cant make it up cause the housemates did genuinely say or do what they did. I say scrap the live feed cause it would cost CH5 far too much money to doit when they would make more money off showing normal programmes, just leave the live feed on the website if they have to.

ermmmmm... YES! Just because you don't watch it doesn't mean it's pointless. Without LF it totally loses the concept of big brother.

[keithafc]

No it doesn't. People say this but it just isn't true.

Big Brother is an entertainment show from monday to sunday and repeat for like 10 weeks. I want to watch a good show. I don't care about editing of highlights. I want to watch an episode which shows the housemates and some character in it. If that means its creating story lines, thats fine with me.

LF is just boring when i watched it and most of the time, it is just bird sounds.

[Patrick]

Just sent an angry email to the Daily Star to get awareness out there - you lot ******ing do the same rather than sit here and complain but do nothing.

Click the link on DigitalSid's SIG.

There's no point at all in us emailing The Sun - they couldn't give a bollocks about Big Brother if it doesn't involve Jedward.

A better idea would be to mail Channel 5 itself, but if we want publicity or something - go for The Daily Star route.

[mj2303]

ermmmmm... YES! Just because you don't watch it doesn't mean it's pointless. Without LF it totally loses the concept of big brother.

the concept of big brother is to see how a number of strangers react and cope living in a house with no contact from the outside world all under the watchfull eye of big brother. Live feed does not come into it. And if you look into the genine concept behind big brother when it began it was always intended to be a gameshow more than any social experiment, that was just how the UK plugged its first series to gain media and public interest

They aren't going to listen to a 14 yearold or anyone for that matter.
They will do what they want when they want.

[seanraff07]

Yes I'd still watch it but it would be much better with Live Feed IMO.

[mj2303]

Yeah, us being big brother.?

err no big brother being big brother...? kinda obvious i thought

[Doogle]

Never watched it with LF so it wouldn't make a big difference to me.

[AJ.]

err no big brother being big brother...? kinda obvious i thought
Well yeah obviously you sarky bastard but we are sort of big brother aswell afterall we are the ones that evict the hms.

[mj2303]

which we still do and can do without the need of live feed

[AJ.]

which we still do and can do without the need of live feed

yesss but my point is that we are BB & the tag line is "BB is always watching". If we aren't able to be "always watching" then it just becomes like every other show & misses the complete point of the show imo.

[mj2303]

we are not BB! the tag line is BB is always watching not the public is always watching! We do not make the rules! Our job is just to judge, vote watch and be entertained. Big brother is the one who is always watching they have never plugged it as 'the audience' being big brother ever., and in no way shape or form does lack of live feed make it like any other show?!

[Beastie]

Yes I would still watch it without live feed. But I wouldn't be a very happy bunny.

[Omah]

No - I rarely watch the HLs

[AJ.]

Well how without LF is BB unique? I'm a celeb/shipwrecked/love island etc all obviously have a crew that "are always watching" 24/7 aswell. This forum wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Lf.

[Jackie]

yeah but its not the same without live feed.

[happybbfan]

If you want to let Daily Star know how we all feel about the prospect of no live feed then this guy is who you need Peter.dyke@dailystar.co.uk,he dealt with the fiasco of BB10.Im sure he would love to hear from us again.
