What is the sense in the LIVE FEED anyway?

[BB-UK]

What is the sence in the LIVE FEED? Why is it such an important part of Big Brother? I have never watched the live feed, actually once I think I was bored early hours of the morning, but that was even more boring then me!!!!

At least wait until the evening to watch the edited version.
In a way, I'm glad the LIVE FEED has been axed, as not many people where watching it. Perhaps due to this Big Brother's budget could be a bit bigger and they could pull all the stops out this year?

Did anyone actually watch the LIVE FEED? :puzzled:

A central part of the Big Brother format is that you are able to watch it 24 hours a day. By taking away the live feed, it's like Channel 4 are ripping the heart out of the show.

The whole point of the show all around the world was to monitor the HMs 24/7, and now thats gone, we are the only country without a live feed.

BB can manipulate edits and make some HMs look better than others leading to us not knowing who's good and who's bad.

The reason isnt because of the money its the fact that Rachel won last year to BB's dissapointment, they tried to edit her badly in the HLs but the live feed was available, people saw her more fun side and voted for her to win... BB dont want this to happen again so thats why they are taking it away... their winner should be our winner apparently :shrug:

Some need a BB history lesson and learn why BB was made.. Yes LEARN!!

If you look at the way they made luke out last year the h/l show had him as a cheeky chappie not the vicious backstabbing hm he really was..it was only when he went so OTT they couldnt find material to show in the h/l did it finally come out in the show.
The live feed has caught so many slip ups my all time fav was Emily parr telling people how she knew about going into the BB house months before even the audtions began..

exactly! HMs will be able to get away with anything (especially BB's fave), they will make them look like an angel on the HL show.... they could hide aything from us.... they could hide a fight from us if it involves their fave HM, so they wont show it to protect them.

We will miss about 50% of the whole picture.

Its really odd tbh What we are seeing over on DS are lukes fans the ones glad the feed has gone..because lets be honest had he been in the house THIS year the chances are he would have won.
the feed wasnt perfect as we saw last year nicole in the kitchen 1 second later nicole in the garden eating her food...lol
But it did allow you to get a sense of not only balance but those little things you geto know about the people either you like or dont.

The live feed is not coming back unfortunately. It's been confirmed by the Channel 4 spokseman.

They say the reason is cost-cutting, but it's ridiculous to think we're now the only bb in the world without live streaming. It's such a horrendous decision. Just see the ratings for this summer, they'll be in freefall I bet.

:puzzled: Luke wasn't a backstabber,he may have been civil to some people he didn't like but what was he supposed to do,fight with them? When everyone was in the bedrooms chatting,it was never only Luke bitching.

I hated the h/l last years,I probably watched more Luke and Bex stuff on live feed than any other BB9.
