How can you watch a show that isn't going to exist?

Live feed is the best and most important aspect of Big Brother, they seriously don't know what they're doing.

They won't bring back live feed - on TV anyway - because they can put other programmes on a channel instead which get higher ratings, and therefore bring in more advertising revenue.

Great post Josy 100% agree with you, what really gets up my goat is that other counties have 24/7 LF & we only get a measly hour a week 😡

Covering your back for when you don't actually switch off already?

I just said I don't see the show continuing for much longer, and pretty clearly suggested I'd be watching it until it ended. Get it yet?

Lmao, 5/6 million viewers. I would have appreciated it if he just said a straight out no instead.

Live feed was and is never meant to draw in millions, it always had a small audience in the C4 days apart from when big events happened.

Agree with the paid live feed mentioned above again. Get that live feed online, get the 5 Demand advertisers on there and get us to pay, simple.

As opposed to "everybody must share your opinion or be mocked for it"? You've made disparaging comments about people who have the audacity to actually enjoy the show they're choosing to watch a few times recently.

Ben Frow is probably part of the reason its rating so lowly.
