because i certainly don't, watching them all sit there while the noise of an aeroplane plays, or coming home drunk at 2 in the morning with the hopes of something vaguely amusing being on to tickle you in your drunken state, only to find sleeping housemates taking over the screen with that horrible green night cam tinge certainly doesn't take my fancy. Personally i'm glad there will be no live feed :)

Why? no one is forcing you to watch it - you clearly choose to...

Yes, BB was constantly blocking out what they were talking about. There is enough coverage on E4 for us fanatics.

I couldn't care if its on or if its not on. Live feed isn't that important to me.

I know no one is forcing me to watch, its just the fact that only a few thousand will tune in and i think its just a complete waste of money. There is no point in them being broadcast sleeping through the night and then through the day as 99% of it is filtered with them stupid bloody noises they play. And on the off chance something interesting does happen such as the hot tub incident on BB6, it just gets taken off the air. Likewise when they have music playing, they just filter out the noise, its just a bit silly really

..Few things and I think I told you this already mate....
No one is making you watch the thing!
You obviously havent watched Big Brother in a long time!
Last year on live they hardly ever played the noises!
And at 2 in the morning you had Darnell and Kat singing every night!
Or early in the series you would have Dale and Stu haven a laugh, but that was before all the entertainers left :rolleyes:
So basically, Im quite sure alot more people watch Live Feed than the people who dont, and Again No one is making you watch it...And at 3 in the morning what do you expect people to be doing! Yeah, Sleeping

i watch big brother every year, and all i was saying that i think its ridiculous showing live feed 24/7 when the majority of BB fans, don't appear to like it. I'm only airing my opinion. As you say "what do you expect people to be doing at 3 in the morning" sleep...so why bother airing it if people are sleeping. There really is no point putting it on, mate.

but during the REST of the day they are not sleeping... that's why people want it 24/7 because watching it from 1am to 6am has very little point to it...

Yeah so why bother showing it from 1am till 6am? rating smust clearly drop between those hours so realistically there is no point in it being on. Fair play if they want to play it the rest of the day but its just stupid having lots of the audio filtered out

Big Brothers current average viewership is around three and a half million. The live feed never gets over half a million. How the hell did you work that one out? Your simply wrong again.

I don't give a **** about the live feed either. I don't get entertainment from watching people cook, eat and sleep with an accompanying ambience sound that consists of 10 year old sounds such as "that" bird and "that" helicopter.

doesnt bother me in the slightest , i did used to watch live feed through the past big brothers but it gets annoying when they just block out the sound and put the flaming birds twittering.
but nope it wont bother me if they axe it :)

Although you do get the sense that it's another step towards it being fixed and 'unreal'.

I would only like it maybe after or inbetween live shows after 9pm. During the day is just bird noises and i'd rather have marcus telling you whats happening. And during the night is pointless becuase they're all asleep.

I don't really care about it, tbh it was annoying having it on E4 all the time and not having any other shows on, and for most of the time the sound was blocked out anyway.
I haven't seen, but sorry if it's been asked before but does the cut in live feed also mean a cut in secret channel on sky, that showed live feed constantly anyway?

The show won't get cancelled because the live feed was axed, thats just being over the top.
I've read before that the live feed only brought in a few thousand viewers so why should Channel 4/Endemol waste its money on it, when it can instead spend it on something that might improve the show and bring in more viewers?

To be honest I think theres only ever a few moments on the live feed that are any good each series. And theyre hard to come by. But I will miss it, in BB9 my fave moment of the series was on the live feed. They were all talking about scary films and Dale was getting scared. When Dale went to the toilet Rex or someone got under his bed and jumped out and scared dale like *******.

Livefeed brings in 150,000 regulaly. Up to 1mil in the first couple of weeks.
And it's not there for people who watch it 24/7, it's there for people to dip in and out whenever they want to to see what's going on. Everything you see on the highlights is what the livefeed shows so I don't understand the reasoning by some people here saying "it's crap lol".

Still upto 1 million in a couple of weeks when its usually on E4 for most of that day, that isn't good.
All i said is that I wasn't bother that it was being cut back, i didn't say it was crap, every person I've spoken to about Big brother live is that its a nuisance its on the channel all the time. why couldn't they put it on a red button service like they do during the rare occurance they show something else on, I'm a massive big brother fan but even i find it annoying e4 turns into big brother over the summer.
And people aren't saying that the content on the live feed is crap, they are saying the actually live feed service is with constantly the noise being cut out.

I agree with you, I don't know why they can't just keep the red button active in the corner of E4 or C4 for the duration it is on so it's there for people to switch on if they have to - perhaps even have an interactive screen with text ins and quizzes to attract the younger audience. The bird noises are cut out when HMs talk about something personal (family for instance) or when something could be deemed libellous - there are ways to cut this down too, for example cutting the camera to a different section of the house onto different housemates, but none of this is done. C4 are treating the viewers with nothing but contempt - don't be surprised if next year they move onto the highlight shows that you all here watch and begin to cut and prod to there hearts content with that, too.

Its (the LF) not something you could watch for any length of time without nodding off - as 90% of the time even during the day they are just lounging around and talking bout any old crap to stave off the boredom.

Even though I never watched the live feed (boring!), I appreciated that it existed because I felt like it stopped the editors from being too manipulative. Although they censored a lot of it. If it weren't for the constant sound-outages and shots of the empty garden it could possibly have been entertaining.

I now don't care about the live feed anymore. The thing which is annoying me now is the people who consistantly moan about it.

Finally someone else who isn't starting a big 'Bring Back the Live feed' campaign. It's boring and a big waste of time.
