You people need to stop blaming Channel 5 for how much BBUK has changed!
It is not them that make the show, it's Endemol!
I am annoyed with people moaning about the changes and blaming Channel 5, when they have nothing to do with how the show is made.

Of course they have something to do with it. They most certainly have something to do with live feed being cancelled too

Yes Desmond set a Strict Budget Deal
Endemol sacked the Live feed team


Its that simple.


Desmond could have paid the bit more for Live Feed
but his Strict Budget Deal meant Endemol had to sack 30 or more staff.

No
Desmond sets a Strict budget
he never will back down.


Endemol told him that live feed was not needed
they did that in order to sack staff
all for their own future.

Surely Channel 5 commission the show from Endemol. Channel 5 would commission something that would be suitable for their channel, they would never leave the final decisions to a production company.

But Endemol are the one's that make and produce the show, That's how TV normally works, the TV Channels buy contracts to air shows on there channel, and then the owners of the shows produce and make the shows for the Channel

What do you mean "that's how TV normally works"? You clearly don't really know how TV normally works.

C5 are in complete control of the editing and Endomol just tell them what can legally go in the show this year.it seems that C5 are very amatuer at this sort of thing which makes me think that BB is too big for them to hadle.
C5 made the decision to air the show how they like with /without live feed too.It is them that are to blame for this mess .
Endomol must be very desperate to allow Bb tobe ptrayed like this.In other countries where revamps have taken place the live feed remains and the format is basically the same so why have the UK version settled for this

Endemol have mismanaged their business over the years, apparently they have a large debt. Their manipulation of the show resulting in fewer people voting probably didn't help. Also their paying people millions at the top of the business didn't help either. It was like they thought it was a cash cow they could milk forever and depend on a loyal audience whatever they did. Of course CH4 may have got them to cut live feed for BB10 because they were running scared of the tabloids and wanted more control of what the audience saw, but they did back down the following year at least.
