Milos, An "insider" on DS:

news coming tomorrow,,,,stay tuned,,,,complaints must sustain momentum,,,

He always writes like that :bigsmile:, but i dont think the news will be good.
Milos has like 30 posts if that, all of which came this week. Whether or not he really is a C4 employee / insider is yet to be known.

He seems to like posting small things like that to get the DS: lot riled up and then he scarpers...
I agree, but its just making more members annoyed and causing them to send more complaints.... i would dread to think how many complaints C4 has recieved in the past week :joker:, must be in its thousands.

BigBrotherfan4ever 10-06-2009 03:59 PM

I've just sent another complaint to C4:thumbs:

Stentionhouse 10-06-2009 04:05 PM

I can't believe those cheeky feckers at C4 harping on endlessly about the credit crunch, then expecting viewers to vote and buy the products advertised during the breaks, despite giving nothing to charity. Talk about taking the biscuit.

*mazedsalv** 10-06-2009 04:08 PM

Yes it is taking the biscuit I agree :bigsmile:
Were supposed to be waiting for an announcement tomorrow, as said by Milos (which i dont think is relible), ive got what he wrote above ~

Keep going strong guys, we can beat this!!! :tongue:

Fat.Rat 10-06-2009 04:09 PM

BRING BACK THE LIVE FEED!!! sorry about caps. lol xx

I actually can't believe we're even having to discuss this and campaign for it to come back. It should never have left in the first place, it's the core element of the show. It's just stupid that we're having to waste our time doing all of this.

To me it actually feels like Big Brother isn't really on, does anyone else know what I mean?

I mean the housemates are great, I think this series is going to be fantastic, but it just feels... I don't know, empty. It has to be just down to the fact that there's only the highlights, and we're 6 days in and it just doesn't feel right.

But I don't think C4 will be changing their minds, at the end of the day it's just a few thousand people on the internet, they'll continue to send out their pathetic generic emails to everyone and they don't really have anything else to worry about. I mean the ratings don't seem to be bothering them, and personally I think they've given up now anyway.

There is No BBCAmerica deal with CH4
as yet,
so they are in big trouble
there best bet is to let SkyNews run Ch4 News
and Specials
keeping John Snow and the young guy.


Or Ch4 may go under.

I personally think Friday is the crunch day. If the viewing figures for the live eviction are really poor, that's the time they'll decide to take action (if they're ever going to).

I agree completely, they shouldnt even have considered axing it at all.

I think C4 could actually change their minds, i know that the LF going isnt the only thing for the decrease of ratings (its lack of news and no good looking men for girls to tune in as well) but the "only a few thousands of fans" that watched the LF actually has made a very drastic decrease to the ratings.

I dont think C4 knew what a drastic decrease of ratings BB would get, so i think there could be a little hope. We know for sure that it will come back if the ratings drop beneath the slot average (which almost happened on Sunday, was only 100,000 up slot average).

Ok, so it's final now. The feed isnt coming back.

I will watch, but I wont pay a single penny in votes.

Time to show C4 the same respect they have shown us. They have proven that they only understand money, so thats the only way to show them how you feel. They have already sold the advertising space for the entire run, so no point in not watching... you wont be hurting them at all, just BB iteself when some decent station hopefully looks at it to pick it up from the end of it's contract.

If you feel like C4 have betrayed you, the viewer, the ones that have helped them generate massive revenue from the show over the past 10 years, DO NOT PAY TO VOTE.

They have already had enough of our voting coin, and our public money. Enough is enough. Enjoy the show, as much as able, use C4's website and other resources, but don't give them a penny. Thats my advice anyhow.

Oh, and yeah, I am definitly NOT seeing the 'resources' saved being shown elsewhere. I do NOT feel informed or part of the whole experience like I usually do. I have no emotional investment in the HMs at all this year. I havent even bothered laying a bet due to not having the real basis to form my own opinion about them all. The official website has been rubbish, mostly just repeating material from the HL show as advertising (NOT informing), and why should I have to use horrible 3rd party social network sites like FB and Bebo? Btw, can someone tell me how posting clips on Youtube, FB etc is costing them money?

How do you know? did they confirm it?

Davina Tweeted that she spoke to C4 today and it's "Definitely not coming back"

Mystrios 10-06-2009 09:55 PM

To be honest the Decline of Big Brother, has all revolved around the Live feed, In every series the Live feed got gradually worse. I remember one (i forget which :P) which let you choose what camera you wanted to look through (i am not 100% certain though) you then got the live Feed from BB9, which was basically 'Bird Noise'. Now we have none and the Ratings are slipping further.

Channel 4 needs to wake, up before i do something :P

sbtak70 10-06-2009 10:36 PM

It's crap without more live feed... I can't see why we had to lose the couple of hours in the afternoons on E4. Bring it back!!

Stole your sandwhich board bring back LF piccy... hope thats ok :)

sbtak70 12-06-2009 01:16 PM

With no live feed, the series is so dis-jointed! One example is the other night the live feed started and Shree had been hurt by a skipping rope but they never mentioned it at on the edit show to show what actually happened...

:conf:

....soz, Sree :bigsmile:

BigBrotherfan4ever 13-06-2009 12:57 PM

I was really surprised to see someone with a banner lastnight at the eviction show, about not having LF, i was shocked that they allowed it, so maybe more people will complain about it.

They do not care
as they have No Funding to do 24/7 live feed.


Of Course they should have charged £5 a week (I would pay it)
for Internet 24/7.
They would make money on that , easy.

luminoussun 13-06-2009 11:28 PM

I dont think the coverage is fair on the housemates who go to bed early!!!!
Night viewers will not even know halfwit and co.

I love the live feed more then the show and i take 2 weeks off at the start and 2 weeks off at the end to watch it all day and night.so i am gutted :conf2:

arsenalforever 13-06-2009 11:30 PM

Who is Sree bitching at?

BJ 14-06-2009 11:30 AM

I'd like to have seen them today after the big argument last night.

ITV and Channel 4 may be getting some of the television licence money in future - on the news today!
