Reality tv is an unscripted tv show that contains members of the public.

How much of reality is it though? Be honest. Id say so many people who go into the BB house are fake/playing a "game" with a fake personality.

This is such a kick in the teeth. It stinks of CBB6/BB10 all over again and I can honestly see the show ending once the 2 year contract is up unless it can manage to genuinely wow the public

Big Brother is reality tv...FACT.

However its less reality without live feed as we will be just watching a soap opera of what the producers put together for us.

You saying that BB is not reality tv is probs one of the most ridiculous statement ive seen on here only being beaten by a time some idiot posted that residents and families who live by the bb compound should move if they didnt like the noise lol....CLASSIC

This is bad news we need live feed!

I wouldnt watch it that much but it really is bad news for the show, the housemate's being watched 24/7 is kind of central to the whole concept of Big Brother. I'm pretty worried at the direction 5 are going with this, tbh I doubt they were ever really planning to have LF in the first place..

It was always going to be the "new" reality - plotted, scripted and pre-recorded .....

^ this
It's classed as reality tv but it isn't really real, is it? As with every reality tv show out there there's a certain degree of fakeness in it.

And thats why with live feed Big Brother allways stood out as it literally was 24/7 unedited reality tv "What you see is what you get".

With no live feed its just like any other show.

Well no, ofcourse some of the people have gameplans & aren't being real etc but people are like that in real life. Reality tv to me is real people behaving naturally however fake they may act their only influence is themselves unlike jersey/towie.

[Beastie]

The worst EVER decision which happened on BB was axing the 24 7 live feed for BB10! They went down 2 million viewers.

Channel 5 are stupid ***** if they axe 24 7 live feed. Tight bastards!

I think you missed my point. Big Brother the original from series 1 to probably 4 was most likely as reality as you will get it. Throwing in wannabe fakes and freaks from our society and channel 4 focusing on just creating story lines is not really reality.

Even if they aren't scripted.

Live feed keeps us nightowls sane

No you are missing the point.

This thread is about axing the live feed so get back on topic.

You don't understand. Sadly.

I don't think much is to be said about this in all honesty. It is axed and not going to happen. Time to move on.

Sadly you don't understand. "it's axed & time to move" from a bb fan? Even if you don't care about the LF personally you should surely be able to see that the show is almost certainly going to fail without it.

The show could easily fail anyway deejay.Listen, i want it to do well but i am realistic to know that Channel 5 isn't the sort of channel which a lot of people watch. People can moan all they want about the live feed but what about the quality of housemate? Everyone forgets this, without quality housemates and a good blend, the show will fail anyway.

We are lucky to even be looking towards Big Brother coming back on our screens. TV stations like ITV or BBC would not touch it with a barge pole. The racism row in early 2007 killed the show to many stations and also to people who would of watched it up to that point.

LF might be important to some people and not to others but people forget the simple things in regards to this. Quality housemates and will it work on Channel 5 anyway?

I know, I expect it to fail even if there is LF but after spending Ł200M on a show why cut corners, turn 90% of the fans against you before you've even started & lose any chance you had of it being a success?

"People can moan all they want about the live feed but what about the quality of housemate?s?"
This thread is about LF, we haven't got any hm news to moan about & why should we have to choose between having LF vs decent hms :?

"LF might be important to some people and not to others but people forget the simple things in regards to this. Quality housemates and will it work on Channel 5 anyway?"
LF is important to every BB fan whether they even know it exists or not as BB will not exist without it even if you had the best hms ever, maybe on ITV but C5? No chance imo.

[happybbfan]

Keep emailing C5 the sun daily star tweet @channel5bbuk and @peterdyke and @jtatam silence is not golden for BB fans so keep making their day too

Got a few e-mails back.

Jeff Ford says they haven't decided,
Peter Dyke says they have and will tell us soon,
Jessica Davies who wrote the NMA article says there will be a TV feed (I think she's assuming that because they usually do) but not an online feed.

Hmm quite positive. I'm also getting word that it could only be the on-line feed that's been axed.

So we might get the TV feed afterall!
