You overestimate the importance of live feeds so much. I wish they'd release stats of live feeds vs TV viewership so people would understand that live feeders make up quite a small percentage of people actually watching the show.

It's the production staffs first time doing this show. It's not like the US version where the staff have done it so much that they can toss the feeds down and get the work done quickly that needs to be done. There are technically problems, problems setting up and testing competitions, etc. It's more then just "oh they are shutting them down cause they want to save footage for the tv show".

End of the day, it's a tv show and the feeds are an extra benefit. The only people getting seriously butthurt over this are people that invest far too much time (which thankfully are a very small percentage).

Hopefully next year Global picks up airing the show. I can't see it surviving purely on Slice as the channels viewing audience is far too small.
