Default Weekly shopping lists - anyone else missing it?

It only just hit me yesterday that we no longer get shown the housemates writing out the shopping list on a blackboard. Obviously this is no doubt due to the ordering now being done via an iPad with Ocado.

However I have really missed this part of the show. The way it was. Writing down on a blackboard and working out their maths made for some good moments in Big Brother, with food being cut off, the ordering of too much one type of food. It's actually a real shame they've stopped doing this. With this years lot it could have caused a lot of drama (imagine Wolfy not having enough cigs the one week - not enough food for the twins - luxuries being cut off).

Now maybe I'm the only one sad enough to miss it. It hasn't ruined the show or anything, although it's another (what I feel is a) fundamental of the show which has now been taken. Although I understand money will come first so C5 can keep this show going.

I completely agree, this new I pad thing is so ****ing stupid, I don't get how it advertises ocardo any more than the normal method would .
No more housemates sabotaging the shopping budget
If this whole stupid I pad thing isn't scrapped next year...

I couldn't believe they were doing it on some sort of Tablet or something.

Bring back the chalk.

The order probably gets sent direct from the tablet to Ocado.

More convenient for the BB team.

I miss it too. Always enjoyed the shopping list when we had LF. It always caused friction

I totally agree - The shopping list was a major cause of house rows - even over who got to do it !

Its far too easy for them now and has taken away all the bickering - anyway sod the list just starve em
