If they brought back live feed...
 
Just seen a thread about the possibility of bringing back a live feed. The vast majority on this forum seem desperate for this course of action to be taken. Personally, i don't see the big deal. I like watching the highlights but i've never watched any of the live feed. It's a bit like watching paint dry to me and i've fairly certain 5 minutes of it would be enough to send me to sleep.

Out of pure curiosity, how much "live feed" would you watch if they brought it back? Half an hour a day? An hour?

I really find it amazing that people want it back so badly...

I'd watch about 2 hours a day, and if they broadcast online, I would watch it when I have a spare period in school which would be an hour and a half in school

I'd watch a couple of hours in an afternoon, just to see how Caroline and Scott are getting along.

I'm not one of these who says 24/7 is essential, but it is needed.

I used to love the days when it was just on E4 in the background, especially late at night when something random and good usually happened.

BigBrotherfan4ever 08-06-2012 12:30 PM

When it was on E4 24/7 I would watch about 4 hrs in the sfternoon & about 2hrs after the HL's.

Well during the half tern I would watch it 10 am till they go to sleep :D school days 7am-8am/(when it was on c4 my school would play LF on the tv screens at lunch/break)/4pm -1am.

I'd watch it after Bit On The Side every night until they went to sleep on the days where I was off Sixth Form the next day. Days that I wasn't, till about 2am.

Then during the day a couple of hours here and there. Live feed is so much more entertaining that the main highlights show, it just takes a large attention span to be able to deal with it. If you sat watching it for half an hour you'd get into it - the lengthy and often more intelligent conversations which could never be covered in the main show are very interesting to listen to.

Totally agree with you Jack about intelligent conversations, they were really intresting to listen to on the LF.

I wouldn't watch the live feed, but i like the fact that others would and they'd record and post important stuff that happened, so we could see the full story behind the stories on the main show. that's what i liked most about the live feeds.

I wouldn't watch it live personally though.

Josy 08-06-2012 12:41 PM

It used to be on constant in my house, during the day in the background while I was working then at night right up until they all went to bed, I miss seeing all the conversations and interactions between the hms that the highlights miss out.

The forum live feed thread used to be active 24/7 too.

MTVN 08-06-2012 01:09 PM

Dunno maybe an hour or two if nothing else was on

Gillian-73 08-06-2012 03:35 PM

A good few hours each day and night. More if i had the time!

Patrick 08-06-2012 03:41 PM

In BB9 I watched the live feed constantly.. I mean, constantly.

If they brought it back, I'd watch it in the mornings, abit in the afternoon - go out and have a life, come back and watch it through the night.

Jarrod 08-06-2012 03:44 PM

When it was on E4 during BB11, i watched it most of the time it was on. I remember watching the overnight feed.

I also remember buying a day pass for the last day of UBB :(

Maia 08-06-2012 03:47 PM

If they brought it back I'd literally have it on 24/7. I probably would only watch a couple of hours in the afternoon and throughout the evening/night, but I'd go back and forth keeping an eye on it whenever I could. Just love the thought of it being there.

Samuel. 08-06-2012 03:49 PM

Would pretty much always be on in the background.

Not desperate for it to return though.

JohnnyBB 08-06-2012 03:51 PM

i used too fall asleep to it in the night, i was a bad watcher of bb11 online lived feed i was glued to my laptop day and night.

Me too Patrick, I really miss the buzz on here cause if you couldn't watch it, you could guarantee someone was & we would always know what was happening in the house

MrWong 08-06-2012 03:53 PM

2 - 3 hours a day during the week.

Weekends it wouldn't be off, unless i'm out.

HBB1508 08-06-2012 03:54 PM

I'd record it all and watch it all and during the day at work I'd have the forum open so I could catch anything that was going on - it made the forum alive as there was always something to discuss actually going on at the time. I do miss the interesting conversations and body language you could really get to know the housemates and develop an in depth opinion about them rather than be fed a heavily edited highlights show.

If they brought it back i'd probably have it on mute whenever I'm in the house, my laptop is sat facing the tv so i'd put the volume on if something interesting was happening :)

Doogle 08-06-2012 04:21 PM

It'd constantly be on in the background anytime I was home. Would pay attention during interesting bits.
