Idk what it was like during BB10, but everyone is going mad now all over forums and blowing up the Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages with nothing but demands for a live feed. I love it. Glad the fans are taking control.

Before I was like 'who cares about the live feed' but now I want it tbh even if I can't even watch it. It's such a fundamental part of Big Brother.

This is the first time in the history of bbuk that there has been zero live feed during bb10 it was cut to late night feed on e4/c4 plus there were proper video updates and that limited the protests it wasnt a disaster this is far worse there is literally **** all im enjoying the independent radio show as much as im enjoying the highlights.

yes the demand is much greater this time because its a new show on a new channel and facebook clips/pictures are slow to update.People are fed up as there is nothing to talk about not even the casual viewer has anything to say

With BB10 even though there was no LF I knew what was going on. I'm clueless about this series.

Yeah it really doesn't feel like it's going on. It feels like I'm watching a show that was put in the can months ago.

The backlash is much, much, much bigger now than it was in 2009.

usually BB is complete immersion, a barrage from all angles. There is a accurate highlights show which re-caps the previous days events. A after and or pre-show that predicts and discusses events. A live feed where people come online and share their thoughts on what they are seeing and how they interpret it. THis season the boards and sites are basically dead. No one has anything to work with. I learn nothing about what it happening by watching the HL show. I know nothing about the HM's and their interactions and neither does anyone else so I can't come on the forum and find out.
Beyond that all the fancy editing they try and do is horrible. High school level horrible. Video/ audio out of sync. the sound cut but characters still talking away on screen. The video cut and the audio still going. They seem under equipped to manage what they are doing. Going back to basics would probably be easier with less editing and figuring out what song/music should be added to set the mood for the viewer as if we need things set up for us. What is this a bad USBB? My BF who was a die hard USBB fan stopped watching it in 08 when we discovered UKBB becuse it was more enriching, and back to basics style. Even last season of BB I knew what was going on even though the style was straying.

It's a band wagon. Once people get their teeth into something then it is like a dog with a bone. One little spark and the whole thing blows out of proportion. This is what is happening with the live feed.

Sure some of the people of the people that sign these things want to see it much not all of them.

If Channel 5 doesn't have the money to provide the feed and by providing they don't think they can make money then they won't do it.

Even when we did have LF it was almost unwatchable, with so much of the sound over-ridden with bird/aircraft noise and the like. Utterly boring most of the time. I don't miss it at all.

Yes the highlights show may not be edited in the way some like and may even be manipulative. But..... ultimately this is supposed to be entertainment and - shock, horror! - it doesn't actually matter a rat's fiddle who wins, loses gets evicted etc.
