Question Does anyone else not watch Big Brother 'Live' anymore?
I haven't watched a 'Live' Highlight Show of Big Brother since CBB8.

Mainly because my family don't like this series [the bastards] so I'm not like forced to watch it with them.

So I just record it and BOTS and watch them at like 1 in the morning.

Means you can fast forward breaks and then I read on here what has happened and look out for it in the HL show.

Does anyone else do this?
I'd hate to think it's just me, but it is awesome just skipping the breaks - and of course fast forwarding all the sh*t bits on Bit on The Side, like the other day when they got that fat family on - skipped the whole thing.

I've watched it on demand 5 a few times, and the repeats the next day, but I feel like I can't come into the BB section until I've seen the latest show or I don't know what people are talking about

Yeah like I don't watch the Evictions recorded, would never do that.

Because as you said it ruins the feeling - even if it is on like a 40 minute delay but also the result would be spoilt.

I haven't watched it live since Nadia won (I think)

I sky+ everything and miss all the adverts.

I always watch the highlight shows live. If I can't watch it on a TV then I watch it on TVCatchup. I hate missing an episode, even if I know I could watch a repeat of it

I watch the HL show 'live' and watched a few BOTSs on demand 5 but I've kinda gone off it. It's been on more in the background since Pete Burns left

The past few nights I've either watched it through Sky+ recordings or on the 5Demand iPad app.

Watched CBB8 on Youtube. But for this series, I'm watching it live through TVCatchup. I enjoy seeing the reaction in the highlight show thread.

Prefer to watch it when it's on and talk about it in the discussion thread.

[2] was the only good bit about CBB8 for me.

Otherwise I have watched most of the channel 4 series not live and prefer watching them alone but during CBB8 I could barely get through an episode without anything else to do.

I prefer to watch it live now because it's getting interesting and it's hard to come on here and not know what everyone's talking about.

I never watch anything on commercial channels live i always have a 15 min delay to get rid of the adverts. DVR probably the best invention ever for this video you had to wait till the end of the program. I doubt I actually watch more than half of the actual show I skip through all the romance nonsense I look at the tasks and any chat not releated to who fancies who and all that. BBOTS I record and watch the news bit the rest is not worth bothering with awful show badly produced and presented.

I do the same. Sometimes I watch it the next day if I don't forget. Last week I had 4 to watch I caught up with them. I only watch it 'live' on my days off or if I haven't got to get up early the next day. It's on too late for me. If I have to choose between BB or sleep, sleep wins everytime.
