Default Ben Frow says the live feed won't return until the show gets 5 million viewers
oathy on Digital Spy who has been corresponding with Ben Frow for a while has posted this on DS...

Quote:
Ben frow refused to confirm or deny.
only saying "lets hope the 4 new HM's inject some drama into the house".
He also confirmed a live feed would only come back if viewing numbers were around 5/6 million which means its never coming back. Whilst he accepted it does provide enhancements it simply isn't viable anymore. I just wonder why for nearly 3 months talk of a live feed on MTV was openly talked about by both companies.

But just to confirm I did ask directly was the rumour of the show being pulled early and he didn't answer
5/6 million viewers

It never got that when it was on Channel 4! And how can a show that many feel doesn't work without the live coverage even hope to achieve those sort of figures?

For years this guy was stringing oathy along with the possibility of the live feed returning and now he says this.

Just axe the show. Axe it. And bury it.

Ben Frow needs to not keep getting people's hopes up for nothing. As if the show is EVER gonna get 5/6 mill on C5.

Or maybe just watch something else because some of us (albeit apparently a minority) are still enjoying it.

Honestly, they gave us a bit of live feed after people had petitioned for it and the ratings for it were horrendous, they can't win.

You'll all stop watching soon because the show is dead. And it's dead because of the idiots running the channel and the even bigger idiots producing the show.

They would make a decent amount of money if they provided LF online but Oh Well just another thing taking away from the whole concept of what the show USED to be.

Its so dumb that everything that made the show so popular in the early days are the exact things that they wont give us any more and they wonder why the ratings are getting worse?

Nope, I don't think I will. I don't see the show going for many more years anyway so I may as well stick around.
