It`s channel 4`s fault for scrapping the live feed with that the ratings would have been a lot higher. Without it a lot of people couldn`t get into it like they usually do and they gave up.

[ricky2k9]

Sad news really! Was such a great year, people missed out.

Recently it does seem like viewers want to see more comedy type shows. I reckon the reality theme will die out for a while soon, then re-appear in the next 20years in another form.

[ricky2k9]

Well according to this website : http://www.barb.co.uk/report/weeklyTopProgrammes?

If you view channel 4's figures, Big Brother is included in the top 10 most watched in that channel, being the most watched on C4 each week. So without it would ratings really be much better?

That's not true.

The ratings started off about 1.5 million and creeped up to 2.25 million eventually.

In the past it starts off at more than double that and increases over time to the finale.

The reason for the demise is in the hands of change in producers at BB5.

Fight Night
Bullying in BB6
Jade on CBB

Led to the death of BB.

Yet BB is still their most successful and highest rated programme.

It depends how you read it.

The were better last year, because of Big Brother... they are worse this year, because Big Brother didn't perform...

[Jords]

I love reality TV, its one of my favourtie types of show.

Ch4 are just so stupid, they left their show to die this year,
plenty of ways to have rescued it, they didnt bother.
And it was a brilliant series, they should have advertised more,
HMs with such big characters like Freddie, Noirin, Marcus and Bea,
never seen a series as big in terms of HMs as this year.

Get Ch4 off the screens Lmao!

Is Live Feed the scapegoat for all BB problems?

it's no suprise Channel 4 axed BB, we're in a recession, and BB is an expensive show

[CallumJoshuaSturt]

LMAO what better things is there to put on channel 4

[Scarlett.]

perhaps more creative ones that "We put some weirdo's with obvious mental problems in a house for the whole summer and see what happens! :3"

[Tom]

If Big Brother had been going 25 years you'd probably have a point

[Shasown]

CH4 shot themselves in the foot failing to advertise their own shows on their own channels or even upon other channels while airing advertisments for sky etc on all their own channels. Sort of counter productive that. The advertisement campaign leading up to the launch was abysmal.

[Patrick]

So ****, Channel 4 are a bunch of bastards get what they deserve for axing live feed and not putting any effort into the series

[Ryan.]

I think its unfail to blame Big Brother on C4 dismal ratings, to be hon est do you think they would have been any better if they had shown skins/inbetweeners repeats? NO, C4 need to wake up and realise people want ORIGINAL Shows like Derren Brown, That new show Alone in The Wild. These are the shows that people are interested in. Send BB off with a bang in a swan song to the show, then let it die a natural death rather than squeezing the last drops off blood from a damaged corpse.

This is SUCH a myth and to be frank, it really really pisses me off when people keep saying this.

The LF was scrapped for a reason. It wasn't working and pulling in the ratings. 2008's series got the lowest final figures in the history of BB until 2009. So the LF didn't make a huge difference. It still had poor ratings.

When will people wake up and get rid of this LF myth. It's a bloody myth. Only the hardcore fans will stick and watch LF of people talking shite and picking their ass. They are looking to please more than just the 'hardcore' fans of BB.

They are looking for ratings, that is why it's ending because it's not getting them, LF or no LF. The ratings aren't there to substain it for a great amount of time.

I can see next year being lucky to get just over half what they got this year IMHO the show as been done to death leave it die and bring it back in about 10 years

[MiuMiu]

Somebody compared Channel 4 to UPN in America after they cancelled star trek enterprise and the network itself got cancelled 6 months later because nobody was interested anymore.
I hope this happens to cahnnel 4 after they realise what they have just given up.
And how are they going to fill 200 hours anyways?
They said new dramas and new comedies were going to be comissioned right? Surley that won't be enough to fill half the amount of space.
Unless they're developing a new reality show to take BB's place.
