It only just hit me yesterday that we no longer get shown the housemates writing out the shopping list on a blackboard. Obviously this is no doubt due to the ordering now being done via an iPad with Ocado (http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/news/1185702/).
However I have really missed this part of the show. The way it was. Writing down on a blackboard and working out their maths made for some good moments in Big Brother, with food being cut off, the ordering of too much one type of food. It's actually a real shame they've stopped doing this. With this years lot it could have caused a lot of drama (imagine Wolfy not having enough cigs the one week - not enough food for the twins - luxuries being cut off).
Now maybe I'm the only one sad enough to miss it. :tongue: It hasn't ruined the show or anything, although it's another (what I feel is a) fundamental of the show which has now been taken. Although I understand money will come first so C5 can keep this show going.
