Literally no updates at all?!

[jackc1806]

Surely we should have some sort of update by now like 'the housemates are awake' ect... The Twitter hasn't updated in 10 hours! I though after they discontinued live account they'd post on there but obviously not...

[sampvt]

good, updates just spoil the nights viewing.. same as those annoying exclusives that are nothing more than promos

[bots]

updates are now on snapchat ... you can get the joy of Rylan screeching out of your phone :hee:

[chriskicks]

kind of surprising.. thought we'd get something by now...

[Strictly Jake]

To be fair most of them probably are still in bed

[MB.]

good, updates just spoil the nights viewing

I agree, it really ruins my experience to know what kind of bread the housemates had for their toast that morning

[RichardG]

~insert jack_'s welcome to big brother gif here~

nothing on the twitter or the website, there isn't anything to discuss? :sad:

[andybigbro]

Yeah I agree! It's shocking!

So bad! In the olden days C4 were very good at updating their website :sad:

[waterhog]

I need no updates - I am waiting and going to enjoy the show.




going on twitter now to tell everyone my next poem how sad.:cheer2:

[Gusto Brunt]

To be fair most of them probably are still in bed

And to be fair, we're only really interested in the HLs.:dance:

[zakman440]

I'll just remind everyone of the tweet they put out yesterday:

740140931467358209

[Shaun]

Conversion from BB to Love Island 70% completed...

[reece(:]

So it's all on snapchat now? What tragedy

[Nicky91]

To be fair most of them probably are still in bed

yeah, and twitter would only spoil it for the night :)

[*mazedsalv**]

This is pathetic.

Good luck to the show if it thinks it will survive like this.

[*mazedsalv**]

Someone screenshotted Love Island's website on Twitter.

Seriously. Love Island's website is fantastic and i don't even watch it.

[fitz2k2]

since launch last night.there are 0 videos on youtube.

[MB.]

I'm second hand embarrassed for them

[*mazedsalv**]

It's clear that it's their fault, so if they want it to flop further than keep doing what your doing.

[zakman440]

Haha, that was me :hehe:.

But yeah, Love Island's app this year is brilliant compared to Big Brother's (which is just the website but on an app). It's quite clear which show is doing more to interact with their audience this year, and quite frankly if it's going to be a day like to day with no updates from BB, Love Island deserve to reap the reward.

[*mazedsalv**]

They have an update, FINALLY

[Firewire]

First update

http://bigbrother.channel5.com/lauras-feeling-guilty-over-lateysha-nomination-day-2

[Drew.]

Thats not even day 2, they are ****ing useless

[andybigbro]

This is so bad! Sack he producers and get new ones.

[Rob!]

So...a highlight from tonight's show then? :joker:
Wow.

[Babayaro.]

Honestly, all of them are useless ****ing cretins. What a mess

[zakman440]

The first update of the day and it's not even from today... :unsure:

[MB.]

Imagine people getting paid to do this

[Firewire]

I don't think they have the money to pay them tbh

[*mazedsalv**]

OK guys, who wants to apply to C5 and then forcibly release at least 10 videos an hour?

I might apply, where can I apply? I have no experience but I can do much better than all of them put together

[Jack_]

Just tragic

[zakman440]

Nothing again today - it really is laughable how awful the coverage has been so far.

[TomC]

I don't think the general viewers really care tbh, but I for one would like more online exclusives.

[Will.]

Meh I'm not really fussed, I like tuning in and not knowing what's really happened.

[zakman440]

741272164129726464

Utterly ridiculous. The digital side is the one part of the show that needed more investment, not less.

[Samm]

I'd rather have a new extension then less BB clips and tweets that I would probably not watch so

[TomC]

Tbh I think the second house was a waste of money :worry:

[zakman440]

Apparently the new showrunner has logged all the complaints about updates and is going to pass it on to the Channel 5 teams:

741272425267105792

741279040858914816

741281672461746176

[zakman440]

(So basically, it's a Channel 5 issue and not Endemol's fault)

Frow apparently hasn't been too kind either:

741282019888533504

741282443337072640

[Will.]

The tweets were normally boring:

"Pauline has just farted in the kitchen"

[Will.]

Are they using Snapchat? I can't find them.

[VanessaFeltz.]

Big Brother Not Live ‏@BBUKnotLIVE 1h1 hour ago
14:42 - Big Bro has run out of ideas for the series so has set a task for the housemates to come up with tasks. The reward is a task #bbuk

[RichardG]

why does a budget cut impact the twitter page? there's always someone monitoring the housemates right, can't they just post the occasional tweet about what it is that they're watching?

[bots]

big brother uk on snapchat

[fitz2k2]

there are updates its called twitter

[zakman440]

there are updates its called twitter

They've cut the Twitter updates though - hence the point of this thread... :suspect:

[zakman440]

Apparently there's going to be nothing at all on weekends:

[Jack_]

It's amazing how much of a twat Ben Frow has proven himself to be after most of us liked him a couple of years ago

It was obvious it's always been C5's doing. What I find interesting though is that surely if Endemol wanted to provide a feed, providing they have some of the budget left, couldn't they just do it of their own accord? The money C5 spends on the show is surely left up to the production team to how to spend it. Unless they're specifically telling them they're not allowed to provide one?

[Headie]

I guess it's good that Endemol want it though for in future, if it ever gets axed on Channel 5 and brought back at a later date by a different channel then Endemol would probably have an influence on them more

Apparently there's clauses in the contract meaning that Channel 5 has the final say over everything. Although, amongst other options they were apparently going to look at a third party possibly streaming the feed:

Channel 5 really do ****ing suck don't they

I'm definitely here for a member of the production team sending the complains directly to them, glad to hear they're on our side :joker:

[Moosething]

Channel 5 have apparently confirmed no updates on the website on weekends

here for itv snatching bb (as if tho :( )

[Jamesy]

Good thing is some of the production team were around during the C4 days, so they've seen areas of production fall apart over the year, must be frustrating.

We know cost is nothing to do with the lack of live feed. They happily pay for music rights, OTT editing, showgirls/guys (I know they weren't on launch this year), huge extensions.

This all just stems to what many people have said before, it's so C5 can create a story, a drama to follow so it suits their agenda. C5 don't have the pulling power to make the next TOWIE or Geordie, so they are using Big Brother, an already established reality show, as a cover to create their own little story 'reality' show.

So much for that making the most of out social media as the times have changed excuse for not having LF :rolleyes:

Wouldnt actually mind BB on ITV2, I mean if LI can get 1M views I don't see why BB couldn't be a success on ITV.

I'd perch a 2 hour night on ITV2, LI at 9, then BB at 10.

[Jack_]

A few years ago I'd have been averse to censorship heavy ITV ever taking on Big Brother because I thought they'd water it down, but ITV2 have done such a good job with Love Island in terms of promotion and production that I'd definitely be up for them having the show

[RichardG]

I don't want to come across as really negative because i honestly do still love this show but I think we'd be very lucky for any channel to buy bb if it's axed, as a brand I think it's kinda dead in the uk now

maybe not cbb

[Jack_]

Oh you're absolutely right, C5 have driven civilian BB so far into the ground that no network in the UK will ever touch it again

It's disgusting

[TomC]

So ITV2 wouldn't happen? Such a shame to know that I'll probably never see a classic series of BB.

[Walter White]

I've completely lost interest in CivBB now.

[zakman440]

Maybe if it rested for a few years ITV could scoop civilian BB for ITVBe (they'd probably want CBB for the main channel). Either that or Sky could take it seeing as Endemol Shine is owned by 21st Century Fox.

[MB.]

It was bad enough when people were suggesting airing it on ITV2
