There shouldn't be information hidden from the viewers at any time, this has always been the case. The entire concept of Big Brother is that we're supposed to be aware of what's going on, and if we don't know... it's not Big Brother.

Ratings aren't the only factor in the show. There is an online following that we have to factor in, as well as the fact a lot of people do just keep up with the show via online clips and the Twitter feed, not to mention those who watch overseas. I understand that Channel 5 might only see the ratings but the information that the public is given is vital to the show.
