It's highly unlikely that anyone would tune in at any other time of the day for BB - just look at how Rylan's Big Brother All Star Supersized Bit on the Side Celebrity Sunday Extravaganza (I think that was its name) bombed.

Agreed.
Yeah, I remember that rylan show (good name though XD). Did it have a full run or get axed midway?
C5 has a tight budget for BB (and a biannual cbb doesn't help), they tried to give some live feed and do an early spin-off - it didn't do well, and they're not willing to make another risk anymore. At the end of the day it's a business, and they better spend their budget on bb wisely. These days there's no room for the tradition factor.
