I just finished watching "TV is Dead?", on Channel4, and they said that ratings fall during the ad breaks of shows by the thousands, and that most shows have a coming up... section before ad breaks to keep the viewers watching.
This year, Big Brother have stopped doing the coming up... part before each ad break. Now, we all know the ratings have been bad this year, could this be one of the reasons why?
People might be losing interest during shows, and turning to other things.
So should BB bring back the teasers before the breaks?

You may have a point, i like little teasers before the ad break but that surely isn't the only reason people arn't tuning in mate.

Yeah, and it was funny the way they made them sound stupid, because you're just like, why did they do that?! until you saw it all happen for real. That's why they're so great for making people stay and watch.

Yes - it is called 'hooking' and 'teasing' and it makes people wonder what's coming up and prevents people switching off.

yes, say youd been watching LF late at night the day before a HL show, so you think oh ive seen all this now, ill switch over

and then you see the coming up and its like a MASSIVE rant in the DR or BB saying "You have broken the rules"
