Never mentioned the feed, chief.

My reasons for why I think it's in the toilet are all in that post you quoted.

Blink_Me 16-08-2011 03:51 PM

Is there going to be any live feed on Channel 5? Or is shut off all together?

Nobody has said anything.

I think you have a few times though?

I know you might think it could be a soap sort of style about it but am i the only one who actually thought that was what the last 3-4 BBs had been like? The editing, the story line creating etc. I still watched it.

Yeah? But not in this discussion. Not in the post you quoted.

That's not what the last three of four were like. Just last year. And that was bad enough. They're making a point of saying here that it is being taken to a whole new level.

As for the feed I don't think you have to have it or else the show is doomed. My beef lies with those stupid arguments you tend to repeatedly give that it's pointless, stupid, mostly bird noises and that you 'agree with Channel 5' and there decision to remove it.

By all means not like it yourself but removing the option is about as mentally retarded as a television boardroom decision could possibly get. Removing it isin't smart, removing it isin't conductive to anything and no good could come of it.

Still not below 1 million anyway though.

JohnnyBB 16-08-2011 04:15 PM

its really kicking off on the big brother facebook for channel5 there deleting what everyones writeing.

happybbfan 16-08-2011 04:17 PM

they have not deleted any of my comments.I dont think they want multiple ones but there are still plenty of live feed comments on there

LaLaLand 16-08-2011 04:25 PM

I don't really have anything against the changes tbh. It could go either way though, hopefully it makes what could be a rather "dull" H/L show more watchable.

I'll reserve proper judgement though.

jtalh2003 16-08-2011 04:28 PM

while i have always tried to remain optimistic about changes i think this could be a step to far

the question has to be asked at what point dose the show become only bigbrother in name?


EDIT

and with zero live feed they may as well just give them a script each day let them act it out then let them go home

No LF whatsoever from what I've heard.

I'm glad. Its good to see loyal fans still fighting for a vital part of the show.

slow&steady 16-08-2011 04:50 PM

No LF is a disaster really, its kinda what made the show. infact the LF was a different show in itself, the amount of stuff that went down last year, that wasnt even hinted at in the 'highlights' show, was amazing.

CharlieO 16-08-2011 04:58 PM

This is a disaster. I will certainly not be watching if it turns in to this 'scripted' reality show crap.

It is no longer big brother and I have no excitement left at all for the show.

It doesn't make the show though. It can still get good ratings on Channel 5 with the highlights show. It doesn't need live feed.

Yeah and the biggest grumps at the moment is people moaning about the live feed. It isn't going to be the same show as older Big Brother series. The Live feed isn't coming back.

It will be different. People need to just accept that.

Ramsay 16-08-2011 05:56 PM

they are accepting it but at the end of the day if it is nothing like the show a person enjoyed then you cant blame a person if they no longer watch it

awful.

Then they might as well cancel it.

oathbreaker 16-08-2011 06:31 PM

The reality will hit C5 when the people who were happy with the snore feed realise that isnt even there.

when you think about it.

HM's having a mini breakdown because they heard a name mentioned after the eviction Rember last year everyone waiting for the feed to return.It gave us some classic moments.

No nom cam.(thats going to be terrible)the rows after the shopping list/shopping arrival when people realise items havent been ordered.

I hope C5 have a good stock of Imodium they are going to need it friday morning.

Rob 16-08-2011 06:33 PM

I watched BB8,9 and 10 without BB and still loved them, i'm still thoroughly looking forward to the show!

Those going "they may as well cancel it now" aren't really fans of the show if that's their attitude, and in the long run, it was people like that which caused C4 to axe it, so please don't ruin our opporunity to keep BB on the air.

You watched BB without BB?

You are a talented boy.

Oh and i disagree with you a million percent :)

No longer can we have late night discussions watching the housemates on live feed. Remember live feed last year when John James was crying and threatening to leave? It was awesome.

All we get to discuss now is 45 minutes a day.

BOOOO!

What? We've been told they're "taking inspiration from towie" it's going to be "constructed reality" they're going to have music and annoying after effects, no livefeed whatsoever except from them all being sat in a house what's left of the original concept? We're fans of big brother why should we be fans of something that clearly isn't just because it has the same name?

I only hope theres some common sense floating about the place and if they realise this idea was a really bad one they are putting plans in place.
Unlike Channel 4 they need this to work bigtime for them.

sadly thats going to be the other side effect.With all the info coming from one source forums are going to be struggling to find things to talk about.I just hope everyone that feels strongly enough unfollows anything C5/Endemol on both Facebook and Twitter.

Let them explain why they have so few followers when everyone wanted these crappy clips ;)
