All negative questions too.

Can the producers learn that these things do not work to make a good series, they just make the show worse to watch. Leave the arguments to develop naturally and have no outside contact!

Then again, all the replies to that tweet seem to be "omgz its so dull this year am not watching" or a variant on it, so this is what we get when they listen to the masses. Sigh.

For gods sake... it was looking like we were going to have a really good series as well. First the apparent noms twist and now this. Very annoying. When will they learn??

I don't agree with these tasks. But it may surprise people to know that they've had outside influence tasks since BB8 - it's not really anything new and I don't think they'll ever not have them cos they know it stirs sh*t up.

No, they are inept whether the ratings are high or low.

The basic format... 12 - 16 people in a house with a 24/7 live feed and nominations worked best when the producers just got out of the way. These days they think the show is more about them than the actual people we are watching though

Live feed is a big miss I'm sure it would be 1m higher with it

It really really wouldn't. The audience that watched live feed are long gone and are never coming back.

Strongly disagree 1 hour a day simply isn't enough the whole point of big brother is that we can watch it live whenever we want

The point of Big Brother disappeared a long time ago
It's now just an entertainment show. I want live feed as much as the next person but even if they brought it back 24/7, it wouldn't add millions onto the ratings.

I think live feed would help with the ratings slightly, although it wouldn't have any massive impact on the show.

I still think nightly live feed should happen, one hour a night on C5 or 5* (or even online).

I think that if they at least tried to put a paid feed online then many would pay for it. At least they'd be making rather than losing money then if that's the issue.

The days of live feed have gone. The show is manipulated to attract viewers at the moment, with live feed, it wouldn't allow them to do that. Also, I'm pretty sure there was some research done on it and the numbers who actually wanted live feed were so low it just wasn't economically viable
