This series of Big Brother has No 24/7 Live Feed because Producers want to encourage theire Website Views so they introduce a Task that makes people go on theire Website and what do people stupidaly do but go on theire bloody Website so they pass the Task.....
Maybee if people didnt visit theire stupid website they might put back Live Feed....
ive done a Stance on not visiting that Website on Principle..Pity others wasent smart enough to do the same....

Its just about more freedom with how we watch a program, in todays multimedia world we should have that from channel 4, they had it in the early days of Big Brother.

so youre happy for channel 4 boses to manipluate youre opinions of the contestants....ok live feed isnt fool proof but it gives a better understanding of what the show is about.and who they are than the highlights some late night live feed and watching them sodding sleeping.
with celebs you got some idea who they are but come BB10 in the summer the same thing will happen there with the production staff showing you what they think what you should see.

thats youre choice...
but where are the choice of thoes people that would like to see stuff as it happens while putting on the TV while ironing or doing the dishes or hoovering?
theire choice has been taken away by Big Brother production.

I think they should at lest have it back on the website if they want people to visit then the best option is to put it on the site.
I would rather have it on TV tho.

It's all about CONTROL! Endemol/Ch4 are controlling what they WANT you to see. Funny how Sheridan said again last night "It's lucky there is no 24/7 streaming" says it all really!:xyxwave:

I used to like watching BB through the red button especially in the morning when they used to get them up with the alarms and see how they actually looked without makeup etc.It was the only way you could see their true personality without the edited highlights.

i am well past the days of sitting watching people sleeping at 4am plus live feed (there is still some) is mostly ad breaks and bird noise so hardly worth it anyway i have watched from bb1 and gradually over the yrs have watched live feed less and less i still enjoy the show as much as i did in the early days but dont feel the need for live feed
not everyone has to like it
Brekkie
09-01-2009, 12:58 PM
Well I didn't watch it not out of protest, not because BBLB had screened it, not because I knew the main show would show it, but because it was ****!
The live feed situation is a joke, but what's even more of an insult is the complete lack of clips from C4 when they've said they would be compensation for the lack of the feed. There are fat less than there was last year - barely a dozen a day, and alot of them seem to be rehashes of stuff already shown on the show plus things like the profiles from the launch show. So basically they've replaced about 16 hours worth of live streaming with less than 10 minutes of clips.
Joneseye
09-01-2009, 01:00 PM
nobody has to like it ....
but the programe is on it final legs now....this desition to cut 24/7 live feed is the beggining of the end and nobody trying to stay no we dont want it to end but it will finish after BB10 unless something is done to stop the trend its finding itself in.
i take it by being on TIBB you are Big Brother fans well you could have fooled me.

Not the fans that are stupid, Endemol/Ch4 are treating them like Cretins!!
MrsJones
09-01-2009, 01:16 PM
I'm deeply missing the live feed. The reason why I refuse to go to their website or view their clips is because of the generic email that C4 gave out saying that fans obviously prefer to watch them rather than watch 24/7 streaming. Well, not in this fans case that's for sure.
The live feed created conversations and debates which in turn was picked up by the press and reported on. Surely that was a good thing for the show we all love?

Thank you :)
I was left absolutely gob smacked when they said that 10,000 views of the Ulrika and Verne clip would mean they would win their task. If C4 were so sure that their clips were much more popular than the feed then why resort to this?
IMO it was akin to handing out the begging bowl groveling for hits :mad:

09-01-2009, 01:32 PM
That's the question I'd like to see answered too Jackie46. Also would the figures included multiple views or unique views?
I read somewhere that C4 are using the words 'smashed' or some such on their site but I can't confirm as I'm not going anywhere near the place LOL
MrsJones
09-01-2009, 02:16 PM
Just found that figure somewhere else, 79,027. It doesn't mention whether those are unique views though.

To be fair Jonesey did apologise for tarring everyone with the same brush on this thread.
IMO this shouldn't turn into a live feed viewer versus highlight viewer only thing. We're all BB fans and some of us are missing what we consider a vital element of the show. I'm pretty sure that if the highlight show was reduced to just half an hour then us LF fans would stick by them and moan for Britain on their behalf too.
I don't know about this forum and maybe one of the regulars can tell me, but every other BB forum I frequent just isn't the same any more because of the lack of LF. There's not so much to talk about so they're quieter than usual.

Well I think the producers are playing it extra safe as when things go wrong there is nothing they can do which is the right answer.
And I can see why people say going or not going on the website will bring the live feed back.
Are Big Brother Fans Stupid ??
