Well if it was a major selling point then why has the live feed been edited a lot (ie switching rooms, sound dips etc) for the past few years, and if it was that big a deal then why are the ratings awful for the live feed on E4, let alone the Sky channel?

Because of the things you've mentioned, the constant sound dips and switching cameras. It never used to be that bad. When BB started the big thing was that you could watch 24/7, that is why it is called Big Brother which comes from the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four about a society under constant surveillance, where every word is heard and every move is watched.

But year after year BB are starting to censor more and more and now they have scrapped the feed altogether.
