The live feed that got no viewers and was therefore axed was the 7 pm live coverage on Channel 5.

And the feeds throughout 8 and 9 which dropped just as the main shows did. Then the online coverage for BB14 which was dropped after the series ended because.... you guessed it, lack of viewers.

You say there's nothing suggesting the feed had anything to do with BB14's success but it is another fact that the ratings for BB14 went up and stayed up after its re-introduction in week 4.

Did it rise significantly or was it hovering around the same marks as before and floating up and down? Wiki tells me the latter.

Did the live feed attract viewers other than the hardcore, forum browsing variety? The producer's response and subsequent axing of it tells me no.

So did the viewing figures rise and stay at 1.8 in the last couple of weeks because of live feed or because of the Hazel/Daley drama and the subsequent bitchfests with Gina?

including a diary room feed for live nominations.

Who needs that when they can simply nominate in front of one another or not nominate at all and let the producers do the choosing?
