Yes, thank you I did realize that.

Just thought it was worth reminding everyone that we know these ex housemates well because there was 24/7 coverage. Back when Big Brother was good.

As Emma Willis knows full well.

I should ask though, you seem to be involved to some extent with the running of this site... BB Spy makes a point of campaigning for the live feed, I don't know why more fan sites don't make their voices heard. It's just the lack of even trying to convince them that the show suffers without it that irks me.



Even I've started enjoying it this week, but it's reliant on all these ex housemates.

It's nothing to do with the owners its more to do with there would be no financial gain in bringing it back

Most fan sites have attempted to get LF back, sending emails to endemol, channel 5, Ben Frow, fans have signed umpteen petitions and so on, Ben Frow did manage to keep to his word and bring it back although the time they put it on was all wrong (7pm in the evening for 2 hours) so the viewers let him down, ratings were **** and he had to get rid of it again.

They knew full well that putting 2 hours worth at 7 pm when the soaps are on was never going to help



I sort of understood it when Desmond owned Channel 5, because it was all just a vehicle for him. But I figured viacom might actually listen. I still think after this very badly performing year they will have to have a meeting about what to do next year to makes things better. When the presenter is now arguing for 24/7 live coverage, surely people should be asking for it in some sort of online format like just about every other BB in the world has.

Contact Viacom, email endemol, message Ben Frow, start a petition or do all of it.

The only one who seems to get back to people from what I can tell is Frow. But he seems to be a bit of a liar. Apparently they were looking at putting the 24/7 coverage on one of the MTV channel according to Oathy, but it looks to me like that was a lie to get him off their back. Oathy persists with all his info, sending it to the guys at Viacom now. He doesn't get any response from them or this Samwell Smith character.
