Well make sure you have the spelling and grammar checker switched on FFS.

A new and different variation on the spelling.

I agree, don't see why we can't have live feed via the red button, even if it's just a few hours a night.

red button does take months to set up but livefeed through the internet could be up and running in days

Agree - they need more than (in the main), people who know have little to discuss other than N-Dubz, what's the best fake tan to use, what gangs they (allegedly) were in, and of course: how many women they have slept with.

More crucially - Live Feed. As you say: no point in doing one without the other: would be a waste of time otherwise.

it's a shame because it does have the potential to be a good one this year.

Guardian article here about ratings. The first five episodes have averaged 1.7 million viewers.

Whilst CBB8 gave some hope (series average 2.8 million), BB12 seems to have been a disaster.

I dip in from, time to time, but find I can't be bothered to watch more than a few minutes.

Brilliant comment from The Guardian's article :

"I'd rather watch Paedophile Island."

I'm sure C5 and Endemol discuss BB all the time. "Calling a meeting" is over-dramatic hype.

However, the drop from 2.8 million average for CBB8 to 1.7 million for BB12 must be of big concern... it's a 40% reduction from the celeb series and advertisers/sponsors will not be pleased at all!

Let's be honest: in this years show we have the Panto style crew:

Rebeckah: the villan
Louise: the princess looking for love
Jay: the strong man
Aden: village idiot
Arron: good looking prince charming looking for love
Harry: Landowner snobby, upper crust type
Tom: court jester
Mark court jester number 2
Alex: Cinderella (and I bet that's not coincedence)

and so it goes on.

With the vast majority of them having nothing of interest to say, no witty humour, no good convos (which a lot of the BB's have been hilarious with - the late night talks where all sorts comes out).

Live Feed was the whole ethos of the show as far as being made for public viewing.

LF is fundamental, its how the press see things unfold before the HL show and can get it published early and have the true story instead of the stories channel 5 give us

This year has the potential to really put Big Brother on the map. The main problem is there is no live feed. I had to admit I am missing it terribly because this is the first time in years where I've felt we need a live feed for these housemates. Even if it's just like the US one where they do BB After Dark for three hours or do an edited live feed show where they put all the stuff they couldn't fit into the HL show, that would be great.

The second thing is the HL show is literally a semi extended version of the clips they post online. Why watch the show when you can just watch the you tube clips?!

Third off they need to make sure they bring in some new, interesting housemates whenever they decide to do that.

Fourth, they need better tasks and harsher punishments.

And finally, they need the housemates to move away from the sex talk. Nothing's wrong with it once in a while but every single episode? For the majority of the episode? It gets annoying.

I'm sure there's others but I just cannot think right now.
