C - I have gotten used to it not being an event. That does not reflect on the quality of the show, which I think is the best since Big Brother 7.
D - If most viewers never watched the live feed anyway, most viewers never knew the housemates right down to their mothers maiden names...
E - ...and to be honest, most never cared anyway. Theirs still a casual audience who just want to watch it for an hour a night to relax. Nothing wrong with that.

A - The show no longer attracts a big enough audience to justify the huge cost of making the programme. They ain't gonna make it at a loss, that's for sure.
B - The tabloids sell more copies of their papers than BB has viewers now. Without the vital coverage in the red tops, people forget BB exists and the ratings slide further...
C - Fair enough. No one is denying that a relatively large number of fans will enjoy the show, even as it is now.
D - Anyone who read forums, or read papers, or talked to people who watched the LF or read forums or read papers would know a lot more about the HMs than people who watched nothing but the h/l shows.
E - The die hards are the people who kept the heart of BB beating from the early days. The casual viewers are gradually switching off now, hence little more than 2m people watching an eviction show, which would have been unthinkable even during BB9.
