I'm not gonna deny that with the lack of live feed, the whole 'golden ticket' scenario and so on, it does seem like they don't know what they're doing and almost as if they are trying to make it fail.

Who knows though, it might end up great. Stay positive!

Without a live feed it won't be great.

The live feed is not a mere gimmick but in fact the big marketable touchstone the show was originally designed around. Without it Big Brother is just another television show. With it it's something that sets the format apart from the cesspit of other reality shows clamouring for press and public attention.

From a business standpoint it is incredibly easy to maintain a live stream and I seriously doubt it is that expensive. It's certainly far less costly than the irreparable damage it's omission could cause to the show. The fans want live feed and by not giving it to them Channel 5 are like it or not - regardless of whatever pissant compromises they conjure up - kind of sticking up the middle finger at the most important people to the show.

You simply don't piss off your hardcore fanbase. You don't do it with TV shows, video games, film or any other form of modern entertainment. It's a dangerous thing to wade into and usually spells disaster.

I don't see the show as being entirely worthless without the feed - 2009 was my favourite series of it ever - but the simple fact is railing against it or dismissing it isin't cool or smart. It would be a major loss to the show and would set a very bad precedent for what's to come.

As if fans had not already been highly paranoid of what Channel 5 would do with the format this lame ass decision just vindicates those endless 'Channel 5 will fuck it up' arguments.

Weather they would be able to keep those viewers watching in any future series after this though, who knows, but for now i'm sure they'll be satisfied with what they're getting.

If it fails miserably though then i'm sure it won't be solely down to the lack of live feed. While i'm sure it might be a factor, it wouldn't be the only factor. There must be something else in there which is bad as well.

The lowest ratings since the first week of BB1, which was on at 11pm.

And Neighbours was still getting 3 or 4 million on BBC1 but it didn't get 3 or 4 on Channel 5.

They dont have to break their baks trying to find a replacement for it with youtube, facebook updates and mobile apps but they are, so it is clear they do care. Live feed is not the be all and end all of Big Brother and never has been it is just a gimmick, the highlights show covers the main stories going on in the house and with extra updates on the website/twitter/facebook/mobile apps/youtube i cant see what everyone is moaning about we will have a good clear view of what is going on in the house and with the housemates. And for those who say it will just be edited to favour some more than others, i strongly disagree BB has to root through 24hrs of feed each day to pick out the stories that are potentially going to run a course and that are funny/intresting. If a housemate does not add to these then ofcourse they will get less air time and the ones involved in the current stories will be more heavy on the airtime. rant over

Totally disagree with you.

Channel 5 have not confirmed or denied anything yet lets not forget this.

Well said DS

Without the live feed its very mantipulate but ive had doubts about having a live feed on ch5 anyway its not like ch4 who had e4. The only way would have been a red button type or even you tube would work maybe.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

When we had live feed the Papers could literally grab any story from the house with a screen shot and give readers exclusives.

How are they now supposed to break stories that we have already seen on the highlights.

No live feed loses bb's coverage and therefor lowers ratings significally.

I dont trust the editing on the show and cannot form a proper opinion of a housemate without live feed which sucks.

Im losing hope in Channel 5 i honestly thought they knew what the fans wanted but obviously they dont give a ****.

Its the publics show so maybe they should ****ing listen to what we want. I thought Channel 5 were going to take BB back to its glory days.

They have failed us.

Done.

[King Gizzard]

More reason not to watch it

Wasn't going to ever since I heard the Jedward story

[Niall]

Even though I personally don't really watch it, they should keep it going. But oh well, at least we're actually getting a series of BB this year rather than nothing.

Always look on the bright side y'all.

[georgehudson]

As it says "there won't be live feed on the website", hopefully there will be on either Youtube or 5*.

If C5 make the most stupid decision to not have feed, the ratings will decrease. Fact.

[Jords]

Channel 5 can suck me titties

[Doogle]

Was looking forward to this being my first BB where I watch LF.

Never mind, **** off Channel 5.

Decrease even less than the only 200-odd that will watch anyway :'(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im seriously pissed off.

Who is the user on here who worships "King Desmond"?

Well your beloved Desmond can eat my foreskin!

[happybbfan]

my family have gone out,the neibours have taken cover and i am beyond belief as yet.Confirmation about this would be good asap.Channel 5 RIP BIG BROTHER

[DigitalSid]

Just e-mailed the woman who wrote the article, she's not sure whether the youtube thing is a live feed, C5 wouldn't go into detail, but she said she's going to speak to YouTube and see what she can find out.

[bbfan1991]

Nooooooooooo.
