I wanted LF back but ah well, I will still watch BB I'm not gonna sit and greet about it. Just need to accept that it isn't coming back

[Tom4784]

I don't watch BB to gain an accurate view of it's inane contestants, I watch it because it's a bit of trashy fluff that's easy to watch.

A lot of people will watch it for both of the above reasons, and if they are parting with money for voting, although they will never get a 100% accuracy on housemates personalities, live feed would give a better idea than just highlights would. So it is scamming viewers, ardent BB fans, to a degree.

Inevitable but at least I don't have to miss more time out from my social life to watch it now. Shame for the dedicated fans that love it!

You just like being manipulated then, not everyone does. And I doubt HMs do either if you think they matter. They will like people to get a rounded view of them too.

They are idiots for taking away what virtually every Big Brother around the world has had and still has. They just want to make it as trashy as I'm a Celebrity. And not everybody who watches Big Brother does so because they want trash. I'm sure many who have watched Big Brother have hardly watched any of the other half assed reality shows.

Yeah, "alleged" reality shows .....

I remember when even "Hell's Kitchen" had a short live segment after the main show and what an eye-opener that was .....

yes, well haven't you noticed that the more entertaining ones tend to stay on later on that show?? Maybe no live feed is for the best lol

More fool the people who vote. It's literally throwing money at nothing.

I don't have the time to sit around all day and watch a half muted feed of a bunch of people I won't care about in a few weeks time. You're acting like BB is some grand high brow program when in reality it's just laughing at a bunch of sub humans getting pissed and making fools of themselves. Like I said before, It's fluff and nothing more. I don't get 'manipulated' (ROFL) by BB because my life doesn't revolve around it, I'll catch it if nothing else is on or if i'm not doing anything.

If you have the time and patience to watch a bunch of people sitting and picking their noses then more power to you but don't berate people who don't because it's not something to be proud of really.

That's sad to hear. Now we will only see them in edited form, the nastiest of people could be made to look like a saint through the power of edits, that's why live feeds are useful.

[Stu]

There are few things I hate in life more than the 'it's all bird noises lol' argument.

I mean it's not ... is it.

[g17m]

maybe not 100%

Can't reveal BB live feed decision. But decision has been made. Really sorry I can't say more.

Of course it is from what I have heard and seen from the Live feed. Lets be honest, they cut far too much out from the live feed conversation wise and it can ruin it.

Its not worth paying for me.

No, it's not. It's really not. Certain nights are bad. Certain segments can be horrible. But bird noises form the minority of feed audio, not the majority.

I'd question the sanity of anyone who says it's mostly bird noises. It's just not, is it.

[Scarlett.]

I swear I've seen millions of threads saying live feed is axed but no one ever seems to believe them xD

[mymidas]

If this is true I am not surprised. Endemol has been given what around 200 million by ch5 and you can bet that they intend to do the bare minimum to keep as much of that as they can as pur profit. No LF means no editors sitting around all night sanitizing the footage for LF it also means no need for camera operators as they can all be locked off and left running overnight to be reviewed the next day. This will save Endemol a small fortune in wages costs over the next 2 series they will be laughing all the way to the bank that CH5 werent more insistant about getting it.

Nah endemol + channel 5 will want to pour as much as they can into BB so it gets good enough ratings for Channel 5 to renew it = more money for spŁndŁmol

[Locke.]

Forum will be dead during the day without it.

I would only be watching it late at night so not too bothered, but it is still one of the main and most important things about the show so should be available to watch.

[CharlieO]

Well this is a disappointment. Oh well, we win some we lose some.

[Sophiee]

a bit disappointing, it was useful to see how the housemates were actually like, instead of seeing them with bb's editing.

[Jase.]

Sigh. Floppy times.

[Blink_Me]

Bad mistake having no live feed.

[BringItOn]

Oh well bit shocked as it's supposed to be 'the biggest brother yet' though without LF it seems a little cheap and plain but ahh well still looking forward to the show

[Patrick]

So glad I didn't believe the bollocks last night.

It sucks to be honest, but I reckon we'll get it for BB13 - on the red button, hopefully.
They probably didn't have time this year.

Plus it's on after Summer guys, most of us would be at work or school anyway - there would of been no point in any of us paying for it or sh*t like that.

[Jords]

Im over it anyway
