The appeal that kick started BB in 2000 has been completely stripped away. Channel 5 obviously can't see that it is an important element to the show and are more interested in attracting uber-tards like Amy Childs and Katy Price.

@ OP- Weldone in not realising the workings behind a functioning and varied discussion forum.

But that's what I'm trying to say. The Live Feed was important to BB.
But the show needs to be reintroduced to a new audience. An audience who haven't got time to sit around for hours on end watching the feed getting to know housemates. This new generation is constantly on the move, and the show has to move with it.
BB's appeal has been slowly stripped away for years now.
The world communicates differently now.
