Default I just sent a complaint to C4

I know you all have had enough of moaning about BB and stuff, but i just sent this to C4, I am awaiting the reply, i do feel much better after my rant. I tried to make it as patronising as i could :


I am absoloutley disgusted with the news that the live feed is not being shows. Thank you for killing of BB for good, how can you do this to your most sucessful show?
WE are the people that make YOU rich, we watch your shows and in return we are treated like rubbish. We should have our views accounted for.
You claim that you have not got enough money but that is completely untrue, you maganed to pay thousands of £s for the DR chair.
The real reason why you have axed LF is because Rachel won BB last summer, your negaive editying towards her on the HLs just made LF watchers vote for her. but you dont want that to happen this year, do you?

I guess its YOU choosing OUR
winner! I feel that this decision is atrocious. How difficult is it to make us view it?? Why? Is it because of the "claims" that many people view your videos on the website??

Well i would just like to congratulate you for being soo concerned with our views, i will look forward to seeing the show die, well done!

And i expect getting a generic reply like you give to everyone, i just guess you cant admit to the truth.

I don't get the whole Live Feed business. There's still Live Feed on E4 at night? That's really the only time we need it considering the Live Feed during the day is censored for the most part!

The live feed still airs overnight, when most of the action happens anyway. It's better than nothing.

but that isn't true, it's only censored about 30% of the time. It's not possible to form an informed opinion on anyone when all we get is a couple of minutes of them every night.

I don't agree with you. I think they have to do the show on the cheap otherwise channel 4 will drop it. It's about money saving, your theory doesn't make sense to me. You think BB didn't wanted Rachel to win but the live feed viewers spoiled their evil plan?

You're right, I didn't phrase that well, I mean during the day when all you can hear for the most part are the stupid birds chirping.

It's really strange without LF this year, this forum is usually buzzing, with people who are watching LF, telling us what is happening at the moment

I hate channel 4

I dont really care about live feed anyway. I get bored of it after about 10 minuites, I'd rather just watch an hour of the best bits the next day than watch people sitting round a house having pointless conversations

what is there to enjoy? the concept is dead, missing. The entire format is based upon watching them 24/7 - that has now been lost, ergo, the show is over.

I complained:

I regret having to send this complaint but feel it is the only way i can tryto get you to realise what an absolutely appalling decision you have made.Firstly, i ask, Do you know that the whole premise of Big Brother, accordingto Endemol, is that Housemates are watched 24/7 by viewers via Live Feed? Ifyou understand this say 'We understand the whole premise of Big Brother isthat viewers can watch housemates 24/7'. Secondly, Do you know that your BigBrother is the ONLY Big Brother WORLDWIDE that has no form of 24/7 livefeed? If you understand, say 'We understand that Big Brother UK is the onlyseries worldwide with no form of 24/7 live feed'. Lastly, i ask, Do you knowthat as a result of you poor decision, many viewers, includeing myself, willnot be voting through the duration of this series? If you understand say 'Weunderstand that viewers will not be voting this series due to the lack ofLive Feed'. I urge you to seriously rethink this decision, as youunderstand, Without live feed, Big Brother UK is no longer Big Brother, buta weak substitute. And make sure i don't recieve a generic response, if iwanted to read lies, i'd buy the Daily Star.


Guess what reply i got... yep, you guessed. Generic:

Thank you for your e-mail querying the availability of the red buttoninteractivity on this years' BIG BROTHER. The red button 24-hour streaming facility was discontinued prior to the lastseries of CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER and we have no plans to reintroduce thisservice for the current edition of BIG BROTHER. The main reason behind this decision is that we?ve found the number ofviewers choosing to use the red button facility has dropped significantlyand more and more viewers chose to watch the clips provided on the officialBig Brother and other websites. So we have shifted our resources to coverthese areas and have new fanzones, on Twitter and Facebook as well as ourown site, and we?ll also be working extensively with partners such as bebo,youtube and MSN to deliver footage to Big Brother fans to keep them fully upto date with what?s happening in the house. However, live streaming will be available on both E4 and Channel 4 latenight/early morning and we will be showing all the other great shows thatmake up the BIG BROTHER experience, like BIG BROTHER'S LITTLE BROTHER ANDBIG BROTHER'S BIG MOUTH. Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate allfeedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise. Regards, Penny WatsonChannel 4 Viewer Enquiries
