seems like it's all about control and dictatorship. I'll be ****** if they do this to American BB. I loyally have the feeds every summer and spend most my time watching live.

How hard is it to understand?

They do understand.

They don't want higher ratings.

I have explained all this above :/

Very short sighted of the programmers. It's not the same this year as we don't get to see what is going on for the majority of the time. I'm a great fan and have watched each year but....bit boring this year without the live feed. If they want to get rid of the programme this seems a good start, I know alot of people less interested this year because of the lack of viewing time.

Yep......it's great, live BB when they are in bed!!

They are pathetic then, why try and ruin a show which was once the most talked about show in the country, now it wouldnt even make the Top 50.

See on the moment nothing ( the Netherlands)
Maybe is here someone who have a working BB link for me beside ch 4?

Update

[arista]

The Star today claims
next Year BB11 will have 24/7 feed.
Of course thats if ch4 are still a company?

[vesavius]

Next year?

They are just trying to buy off the discontent with BS distant promises and get fans back into the fold without having to actually do anything.

They are more then capable of gettin this running, even if it is only streamed via the web, within 1-2 weeks at a very reasonable cost. They just dont want to.

They are to stubbon to admit that they are wrong and give us back our live feed

Which is a really strange attitude in a service based industry where the customer's goodwill is the basis of their profit.

[MeMyselfAndI]

we need LF.

[Jackie]

I'm not into BB this year due to no Live feed.

[newshoes]

watch the video , read the comments , make a comment if you wish
this is just an example from last night's programme
please don't just dismiss this as an anti bb comment
this is connected with the live feed issue
thanks

I don't actually watch live feeds. In the past I might seen a tad of footage in the passing, but I think they should bring it back pronto. I believe it is a large part of the reason that the viewership has sunk low..

I wonder what the housemates will say about once they leave the house... depending on how they have been potrayed on the edited shows. Lisa, Kris & Karly could argue that BB has shown them in a good light and it has made Halfwit look like an angel.

I'm not justifing their actions, I'm just saying that this it what they will come up with and blame it if they don't win Big Brother.

[shazzyshaz]

It could be the constant reporting and whinging of the watchers that they have done it in the first place, maybe they have had so many legal investigations and just got pissed off with the constant moaning about the housemates behaviour that they feel this the only way that they can control it

[newshoes]

no that's not the reason

[Alf]

god we need life feed, we are being robbed
i now understand why they took it off, so that they could pay ex housemate to go back in the house, and can pay people like kelly osbourne,melanie blatt and other z listers to ruin our interview process.
so they've got money to spend on bottles of champagne in trendy london nightspots.
shame on you channel four

[joniebee123]

Scrapping the live feed was a stupid decision,It just isn't the same without it,For the real fans one hour highlight show and a bit of action at night time,If you're lucky there not just getting in bed as the feed comes on,Is just simply not enough,You cannot connect with the house mates properly,And i'm sick of seeing and hearing things on the highlight show and thinking i had no idea about that,We are missing out on so much.

I hope I'm wrong but i suspect the scrapping of live feed is the beginning of the end,I can see the show ending soon,Which would make me furious,Wed get the usual crap,Not enough viewers,Not making any money,Well so what,There are tons of channels today and they have to show something,There is vast amounts of total crap on tv,That will never be pulled and BB's loyal fans will never leave the show.

[*mazedsalv**]

I am missing LF so much. People can say whatever they want but i do think thats why the ratings are lower, with No lf theres less to talk about on the forums, and no publicity on the newspapers or magazines.... so no one is interested.

[alan1965]

12.30 all housemates in bed switched off.same as tomos hope springs watching that then watching m.jackson so good bye big bro

[luminoussun]

Channel 4 is just using the economic environment as a excuse to cut back.
The top guy said last year that channel 4 is going to phase out reality tv and did not like big brother being the most popular channel 4 program.
So i believe they are trying to kill the show off taking away the heart of the show.

[jaysa24]

To be honest, I wasn't ever that into the channel 4 highlight shows, I was however addicted to the live feed on E4, just having it in the background while I cleaned the house, ate, worked (uni work that is). Not having the live feed makes it feel like its a crap series this year.

[neonlight]

Watching the live feed is what BB is all about. That makes it better than anything else out there. It's just not then same this year.

[peteracky]

No live feed , takes away the realness of the whole BB experience.

We may as well be watching a well orchestrated BB drama like that zombie show without the zombies.

It all feels a bit fake! Not happy at all.
