OMFG Almighty! They really are that stupid aren't they?

They are saying that LF being axed has nothing to do with the decline in ratings.
Sorry but this is the first time i need Gavin to stand by me.

Are they that deluded and thick?... wait, no, don't answer that.

Its no doubt a factor but not the reason

It is totally not the reason at all.

There was no live feed when BB started was there?!

Only people with no life would sit there for 24 hours a day watching it, which meant that not that many people used it.

If they had the live feed from say 5pm until 3am then maybe more people would have used it, but facts are facts. Viewing figures do not lie.

It's not the reason for the failure at all, it's a product OF the failure.

This series, the producers just could not be arsed, to be quite frank. They'd given up on their TV show, the passion had gone. They've took steps to ruin the format, one by one:
- No contact with outside world? Gone.
- No talking about nominations? Gone.
- Fair nominating? Gone.
- Punishment for scaling walls etc? Gone.

Live feed disappearing is just one more of these self-destructive things that is the product of the downfall, not the cause.

They have gone full blown and given David and Lisa a tour of london so the "no contact with outside" is kinda blown out of the window there too

Magazines too, as well as ex and new housemates bringing info in. Then if you want to go back a few years Davina has spoken to the house from the crowd which she would only usually do on finale night. BB9 is the only series since BB4 to be completely cut off.

They might as well do BB11 from the Fourth Plinth

Yeah but all the things you've mentioned have happened in the last 2 weeks, ratings were bad before. LF i think has taken away around 300,000 of the audience, then count no publicity, which loses around 1m.
