It's has been said on Twitter that c5 have called a meeting with endemol to discuss poor ratings, after the big drop last night!

Soruce BigBrotherXtra's twitter

Oh well if it was some unofficial Twitter page it must be true

SimBrotherNetwork · 18-09-2011, 11:32 AM

It wouldn't surprise me if it was true tbh :/

Jarrod · 18-09-2011, 11:34 AM

It wouldn't be surprising but BBXtra...

Jarrod · 18-09-2011, 11:35 AM

Maybe they're discussing Live Feed too. #justsayin.

joeysteele · 18-09-2011, 11:35 AM

If it's true, let's hope they re-consider live feed or certainly more footage, 3 hours a day BB is on TV, the official highlights and the repeat at around 12 noon each day then the repeat of the repeat on 5* in the afternoon.

Wasted time as to more footage that could be shown.More footage is needed, we knew most of the celebrities but people haven't a clue as to what most of these housemates are about and with the limited footage given, 50 minutes a day for all housemates, they are never likely to either.

Um thats not how Rumor is spelt....

The boxing delay is what did it. If they don't make the time slot earlier and also bring back the live stream it will be dead in a few weeks. Could they actually pull the plug on the show halfway? I'm sure they have in the contracts the ability to do that.

I wouldn't judge the ratings unless we can see how well C5's other programs did, last Saturday BB was the only program that broke a million viewers. It might have just been a poor day for C5 rather then BB failing.

Rumor is the american spelling, this is the UK and we use rumour.

will live feed really boost the ratings,because only die-hard fans will watch it and that cant be more than 0.2 million hardcore fans

Locke. · 18-09-2011, 11:44 AM

No, the whole point of the live feed is to catch casual viewers who might tune to it at any point in the night, see something they like about a particular conversion or housemate and then get hooked. That's how I got hooked originally back in the day.

With the highlights show you can't 'follow' someone who interests you the most whereas the live streams gives you more of what you want which is perfect for the easily distracted casual viewers.

I don't think they'll ever get to the highs of previous seasons. I think they've done as well as they can this year to rope in new/old viewers of the show but if it's not going to happen then it's not going to happen. When BB dies on CH5 it will die for good and that won't be too far away!

soundslike · 18-09-2011, 11:52 AM

What gets me is when BB started they had a good set up for it internet and a channel you could watch when you wanted to. Also it came on at various times in the day and then in the evening and later in the night through to the morning.

It was there when you wanted to watch it now it is virtually non existent. They fixed something that wasn't broken. But yet they still want and expect you to vote for this shambles and pay them to vote. Yes they haven't got rid of that though have they?

no wonder people are not bothering to watch it as an hour is just not enough to get to know whats going on.

There is always some element of truth in his rumours.

Given its a show currently being shown and the fact it follows storylines etc. Channel 5 executive programmers probably meet with Big Brother production executives at least a couple of times a week already.
