Do the poor ratings of BB10 (and CBB6) justify that live feed is required?

Last night got just 2.7m. That's good by Channel 4 standards but poor for BB taking into account taht it was the first highlights show when ratings are usually high.

So do you think live feed needs to be brought back?

No.
I'm really trying hard to keep my patience but **** ABOUT LIVE FEED.

No i don't think so,HL shows and live feed are on t 2 different channels.

NOOO! Live Feed got canned because nobody watched it enough. The reason for the slightly lower ratings is just because public interest in BB is waning.

Live feed this, Live feed that it's driving me spare.

No. Last nights highlights was quite frankly sh*t (just watched some of it on T4 and got bored). It was allover the papers yesterday so (live feed =) media interest = ratings is out the window.

Ok, the answer to your question is NO.

What people don't understand, and yes i am talking about you president, is that yeah the ratings are low for BB but they are still above avarage for Channel4. Can you honnestly tell me it has anything to do with the live feed!!? The live feed that at max got about 200,000 people. President if you carry on being negative about the series the series will be over and you wont even catch it because your spending most of your time on here saying how rubbish the ratings are. ENJOY BB FFS.

No it dosent.
people are just loosing interest.
out of the 2.7 million people watching last night, im sure 2.5 never watched it anyway. if that. most people are just casual viewers, who watch it in the evening, they dont watch it throughout their whole summer, it dosent take over their life, so im sure they dont even care. Its slightyly annoying, because it can be fun to watch, but it isnt the end of the world is it?!

But live feed may cause a net effect of excitement around the forums and media, resulting in more interesting in the show.

These are terrible ratings.

If "Nobody" watched it the why does Everybody want it back?
Get your facts straight

I agree with you President

I Agree !

Sorry guys i didnt mean to post that !

I Agree !

Explain the excitement around the media yesterday and the low ratings for last nights show then ...

There wasn't much exitement in the media yesterday.

It was very little compared to previous years. A lot of the stuff written in the media yesterday was very negative even compared to before, for e.g. the lowest live launch ratings ever etc.

Hardly any media coverage so far.

Channel 4's website has hardly been updated since 5pm yesterday.

And you saw my posts pre-BB10. I was saying that the show would be fine without live feed, but I've done a U Turn. It simply can't cope unfortunately. The lack of buzz among fans is worrying.

'Nobody watched it enough'

Enough is an important word here. Read first, judge later.

There's definately an effect. We won't be able to measure it correctly until C4 change their stance though. I appreciate that some people are becoming irritated with the campaigning but the core tenet is just.

live feed is needed to get more interst what are we supposed to do when its raining:laugh:

2.7m is fantastic compared to what BB will be getting in a month.

I have now discovered the real reason the LF was axed and I'm completely effing furious, to be honest.

No.

What is the real reason?

Ohhh Dezzy
Up The Wall.


Live Feed Now in this
New Labour Depression
would be watched by more than ever.

I don't really think its *that* much to do with the live feed tbh. Of course it will have an effect but I don't think a drastic one. I think its just the BB format; the highlights show felt quite stale. The best thing they can do is bring it back down to 13 weeks (14 weeks is way too long, so is 13 but still) and postpone BB11 until 2011 when we won't be in a recession anymore so advertisers will be willing to spend more- so Channel 4 in theory should have more money. For 7 years we had Big Brother EVERYWHERE in the media, last year in a few places but not everywhere and now we've just reached a point where its still there but noone is taking any notice.

Then as BB will be off air for almost 2 years (just postpone contract) then let the power of nostalgia work its magic ... and BB can come back with somewhat of a bang. atm its just fizzling out as it comes to the end and it isn't a very fitting end for a show that was once the most powerful show on TV and has been covered in controversy over the years.

The answer to me is a overwhelming yes! I laugh at the people in denial who think this is some natural dip! This is the biggest dip from series to series ever, and it will continue.

What you dont realise, and you probably will as the series goes on, is that even if you never watch LF, or only a few people watch it, they are the reason why a lot of viewers tune in to watch the highlights. Its kind of like preview, when you come to a forum and read that something interesting happened on LF. OR you read soemthing on the papers, or even hear through the grapevine, that something hapened. Thats what makes you want to watch the highlights the next day to see the clear picture. BEcause its never clear on LF, with sound cuts and stuff.

As it stands, I am not even remotely interested in watching the highlights tonight. I might, I might not, and I am sure a lot of people will become increasingly bored.

If you havent realised the importance of it yet, trust me, you will soon!!

oo its happening the decline of viewer's because no live feed
