I'm siding with Tom on this. I'd give my own view but I think any points I say would have already been said in the thread.

You're still missing the point though. If you look at what Channel 4 paid for BB10 alone (by dividing the overall cost up evenly), then the average cost per show, its a very low figure where 4 adverts could easily pay for each nightly show. Yes, the figures were once high and thats why the paid then, but it is still very profitable and even if the plug is pulled after next year, it won't be axed midway through the series just because it isn't rating as expected. As long as it is still making money, and it will be, then it will stay on air.

I accept the show is profitable. But it's nowhere near as good as it was even 3 years ago.

You tell me a television programme in British television that has lost more than 30% of viewers over the last 3 years. 30% is how much BB has lost. I doubt you can find an answer to that. Neighbours doesn't count because it moved from BBC1 to Five.

The fact is that BB's decline is so huge compared to what most other shows is seeing.

And what I'm amost annoyed with is the way fans are being treated. This is not BB without live feed.

You know perfectlty well from that posts I made a few weeks back that I was in favour of C4's decision. But I've done a complete U Turn on it because it's frankly obvious that this is not what the show is supposed to be about.

Fans are tuning off in their droves. It's highly embarrasing for C4 and Endemol.

I really hope so!!!!!!1
They are running scared of the 2.2m of last night because of the head of C4 or something said this in reposnse to a complaint of a LF
"As long as ratings are over 3m we will not bring LF back" well how do you like 2.2m!!!! Mwahhaha!

100% agree and this bb looks like its going to be really good fingers crossed and its making me really mad that i can't watch

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

This would be fantastic news if LF was to come back

[*mazedsalv**]

I agree!
The petition is growing as well! 1050 signitures signed so far.

The funny thing is, the live feed isn't even live rofl.
It has a 15 minute delay so producers can edit stuff and only show what they want you to see. Which is basically the same as what they do with the highlights show.

I can remember the good old days when the LF was not only not delayed, but was uncensored (online).

True I also remember that. It was actually live and allowed you to see tasks which was better than the red button delayed version

That isn't for the same purposes as they use the HL show for. It is "As Live" and only edited for the purpose of "personal info being divulged" "Swearing" etc.

And that in itself contradicts Channel 4's possible reason of cutting LF being to do w/ OFCOM.

[ash1977]

I complain to my family cos I am obsessed. Who else is there to listen to my winging?

[JohnnyBB]

lets us hope things go to plan!

[Jayson]

I guess were a fraction of a step closer to it being brought back.

[haggis]

getting my hopes up. but everything crossed for a back down and L.F returned.live feed through the red button and before they say it. it wont interfere with any of their scheduling.

FINGERS CROSSED BB FANS PEOPLE POWER

after all us fans make up 50% of the show, with out us the show would be axed

We make up the whole show, not 1/2, if the fans leave, then theyre all ducked, and at the mo the fans are leaving in thier thousands.

Keeping my fingers crossed for return of LF. Again, I'm not voting without it.

[Stentionhouse]

Anyone who supports the live feed and wants to see it back, don't forget to e-mail C4 to complain, and Endemol. Only by maintaining the pressure will we win (that and boycotting the main h/l show).

Endemol want the live feed back so its pointless emailing them.

[ash1977]

when and where is this meeting allegedly taking place and will we be informed of it's outcome?

It's not - it adds extra fuel when they talk to C4.

[*mazedsalv**]

Apparently Davina said on her twitter a few minutes ago

"The LF wont be coming back, not alot watching it"
WTF is her problem?? i used to like her!! But she's just completely being taken around by C4....

This is getting ridiculous, if the 2.2m from last night didnt wake them up, i wonder what will!

[Whenyoutouchme]

u lot or so sad about the live feed. **** sake get a life.

[lily.]

Am I the only one who's cynical about this dubious "insider"?
