According to the statement, Channel 5 believe that most people do not have time to watch the 24/7 live feed and think that social networking is instead the way forward for the show.

In a way I agree - as much as we hate to admit it on here as we're all massive fans, the majority of the viewers do not watch the live feed. Only a small portion of the biggest fans bother with it and so it might seem a bit of a waste of money to give it to us. However i'm sure a lot of people would appreciate a live feed in the evening/nighttime on 5* and i'm sure it would have got them more viewers than Teleshopping does. However, they don't want to give us any at all so we just have to deal with it.

It's not scripted, it's ridiculous to even suggest that it is. It's people living in a house as it's always been and Big Brother doesn't give them any sort of script to learn or situations to create.
