You just like being manipulated then, not everyone does. And I doubt HMs do either if you think they matter. They will like people to get a rounded view of them too.

They are idiots for taking away what virtually every Big Brother around the world has had and still has. They just want to make it as trashy as I'm a Celebrity. And not everybody who watches Big Brother does so because they want trash. I'm sure many who have watched Big Brother have hardly watched any of the other half assed reality shows.

Yeah, "alleged" reality shows ..... :joker:

I remember when even "Hell's Kitchen" had a short live segment after the main show and what an eye-opener that was ..... :laugh2:

There are few things I hate in life more than the 'it's all bird noises lol' argument.

I mean it's not ... is it.

maybe not 100%

Can't reveal BB live feed decision. But decision has been made. Really sorry I can't say more.

I swear I've seen millions of threads saying live feed is axed but no one ever seems to believe them xD

If this is true I am not surprised. Endemol has been given what around 200 million by ch5 and you can bet that they intend to do the bare minimum to keep as much of that as they can as pur profit. No LF means no editors sitting around all night sanitizing the footage for LF it also means no need for camera operators as they can all be locked off and left running overnight to be reviewed the next day. This will save Endemol a small fortune in wages costs over the next 2 series they will be laughing all the way to the bank that CH5 werent more insistant about getting it.

Of course not. Sometimes we get airplane sounds :tongue:

Nah endemol + channel 5 will want to pour as much as they can into BB so it gets good enough ratings for Channel 5 to renew it = more money for sp£nd£mol

Forum will be dead during the day without it.

I would only be watching it late at night so not too bothered, but it is still one of the main and most important things about the show so should be available to watch.

Well this is a disappointment. Oh well, we win some we lose some.

a bit disappointing, it was useful to see how the housemates were actually like, instead of seeing them with bb's editing.

Of course it is from what I have heard and seen from the Live feed. Lets be honest, they cut far too much out from the live feed conversation wise and it can ruin it.

Its not worth paying for me.

Sigh. Floppy times.

Bad mistake having no live feed.

Oh well bit shocked as it's supposed to be 'the biggest brother yet' though without LF it seems a little cheap and plain but ahh well still looking forward to the show :)

You hit the nail on the head. All we're gonna be given is an hour's edited highlights every evening.

What a load of rubbish. The whole point of BB is that's it's 24-hour viewing. You dip in when you want to and you learn to love or dislike the HMs.

It's not supposed to be some edited highlights show. This is very bad news.

I was looking forward to BB. Now, I have lost total interest. I cannot see myself getting into this series with just the highlights.

Channel 5 have totally misunderstood what the show is about and have quite frankly ignored the fans. :nono:

I can see BB going down the pan. It wouldn't surprise me if C5 axe the series midway through due to dire ratings.

So glad I didn't believe the bollocks last night.

It sucks to be honest, but I reckon we'll get it for BB13 - on the red button, hopefully.
They probably didn't have time this year.

Plus it's on after Summer guys, most of us would be at work or school anyway - there would of been no point in any of us paying for it or sh*t like that.

The show will manage 1 Million at least, Channel 5 wouldn't axe that :bored: Don't be silly, especially not with how much money they've put into it.

It does suck though, I mean I couldn't get properly into BB10 with no Live Feed so you know. :sad:

The last series I got properly hooked on and was constantly watching and always talking about it was the wonderful BB9 - and that's because of the Red Button Feed.

None of this, online bullcrap - last year I had LF open in a tab whilst on Facebook or TiBB it was more like listening to LF lol.

Im over it anyway :laugh:

What a shame........ Bottom line is that those who are not interested in live feed cannot be regarded as true BB fans. A fan will want as much as one can get in order to make up ones own mind instead of relying on contrived edits made for entertainment motives........

Channel 5 version of BB celebrity or otherwise is doomed without live feed.......

Those not interested in live feed want nothing more than a contrived soap opera made up of amateurs and will wast their votes on what at the end of the day will be a fraudulant version of a reality show......

Thing is Patrick, me and you loved BB9. I take you watched the Live feed? I didn't and i still loved it. I don't think the Live feed means everything. The biggest thing is the housemates.

Damn. Live feed can be great sometimes, especially at night, you get to see such good banter and the convo is always better. I've always enjoyed having it on in the background to have a look at it now and again.

But alas we will get carefully edited perceptions of what actually goes on. No doubt a few "stories" will be created go carefully nudge us towards a winner. Example, JJJ and Andrews she awkward geek to "ladies man" with Mario as the "older brother" figure. The winner will basically be who they want it to be and who fits the mould at that time.

Why have a highlights show at all then InOne? This argument doesn't work because the vast majority of Big Brother viewers don't watch Live feed. The majority of voters who crown the winner most likely just watch the highlights so.

So Live feed isn't going to make that much of a difference.

Well, they haven't put enough money in for my liking. It's BB, it's about 24-hour access to the house. Have you people forgetton about that?

Now we're stuck with with what basically is an indoor version of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Top and bottom, that's all BB is now.:sleep:

Because I don't sit and watch live feed all day. And it's just a nice little luxary to make BB watching a bit better, nothing wrong with that.

And I don't know how many watch LF, but still think it would be better to have a choice, some like to have more insight into it.
