I agree, and I don't think LF is the issue. The house dynamics are very stagnant.

Actually, not so sure on character development... For me, Jade, Chloe, Cristian, Marc, Joel and Nick have all developed... But not as much as in previous years I guess.

Of course the live feed is the issue. It's 5 weeks in and I still don't really know any of these people. I knew more about and cared more about Bubble and Dean after watching one night of them keeping a camp fire going on the live coverage. This was in the first 3 days of that show.

The only experience I have with livefeed is the short one-hour shows that we get now and then, but I liked how it was much less produced and you got to see the housemates being casual.

Half of that was probably adverts anyway, so I can only imagine watching snippets of livefeed throughout the day being so much better.

It's strange to me that people now have no experience of watching BB with the live coverage. I read threads about re-watching BB with amusement. How good a series was for me, was almost entirely dependent on how worthwhile the live coverage was to tune in to, not the HL shows. BB3 still had 30 minute highlight shows and if you watched them back they wouldn't be nearly as good as the ones from BB5 - BB7. Nevertheless BB3 is undoubtably the best series of BB to my mind because of the live coverage.
