Basically which do you fit into?

Just interested to see whether people actually bothered with the red button feed. And more importantly, will it affect how you view BB this year?

I don't get all the "BB is over without the live feed" talk as I don't think that many people actually watched the red button version anyway.

For me as I only ever watch the highlights and the odd bit of E4 live streaming at night, I won't be affected.

Tom4784 · 17-05-2009, 01:53 PM

Not really, if something major was happening then yeah but I never watched it for more then a few minutes sicne the bird calls annoy me. I'd watch LF at times if there was no bird calls or exterior shots but that's not possible so to me it tends to be pointless.

Ninastar · 17-05-2009, 01:53 PM

yes,

Spike · 17-05-2009, 01:55 PM

I would usually watch it for an hour on E4 before I go to sleep at night if nothing else was on
and maybe the odd hour in the afternoon
My enjoyment of the show comes from the highlights shows so BB10 will be the same viewing experience for me

MarkWaldorf · 17-05-2009, 01:59 PM

Only at night when I'm in bed/online here discussing it in the live feed thread. It doesn't bother me that its been axed in the day and doesn't affect my opinion on the show either.

From BB5 onwards, when I was off work I would watch 4 or 5 hours during the day, doing live updates on another site. I used to take week 1 as annual leave just so I could do this and get to know all the housemates. After weel 1 I would tape/record loads of stuff when I was out, just in case something momentous happened and I could check back to watch it unfold. There were also loads of Youtube clips taken from the live feed, and all the various live update threads on BB fan sites that I would have on my computer screen at work to keep abreast of what was happening. BB was a total experience (though extending it to 13 weeks was too much and a big mistake).

Each night I turn over after BBBM and watch live feed for an hour or so before turning in for the night. I can still do that for BB10, it seems.

Never did this for CBB as I don't much like the concept. BB:CH was terrific, though.

No offence to you, but L O L

Fom · 17-05-2009, 02:06 PM

Not really, never interested me... watching people sit about and talk? At least with the highlights they cut out the rubbish and it is all watchable stuff.

MichaelCracker · 17-05-2009, 02:10 PM

Depends... usually the times I want to watch I have to red button it
but yeah I watch at least half an hour everyday via red button
Some days we leave it on constant

*mazedsalv** · 17-05-2009, 02:13 PM

Yep every day, between 4-7 and after 10 onwards would be the time i watched it most.

ROTFLMAO.

To fall asleep to.

DigitalSid · 17-05-2009, 02:19 PM

Yes, but that really isn't the point that's being made. Without a live feed, the whole idea behind this show (viewers watching housemates 24-7) has gone. Promotion (journo's sourcing stories from the live feed) has gone, fan sites (which got their stories from forums where people watched the live feed) has gone.

Hell these forums will be pretty much dead, because there will only be an hour's viewing to disect each day, a highly edited 46 and a half minute highlights broadcast.

There wasn't really much interest around BB9 though and that held a solid audience. Nor reason why BB10 can't do the same

These forums are quite active as well so its not that bad ...

The idea behind the show was a novelty when it came out but that has gone now and noone uses it anymore

I'd rather sit through 46 minutes of heavily edited highlights if they are entertaining than hours of watching people sat around with bird noises blocking out everything even interesting in the slightest

I really don't understand people who this. Okay, you don't get the live feed obsession- what is there not to get. Obviously some people did enjoy it and didn't care about bird noise.

The feed is an essential part of the show, it's one of it's main properties.

brumas · 17-05-2009, 02:35 PM

hi,new member,,,maybe reason to stop live feed something to do with pc brigade? without feed not really bb, will give it ago but think will loose interest.anyway hello all and lets see how it goes,maybe the e4 live stream will maintain my interest, noticed last year house mates aware when live e4 stream was on,but of course never sure who was watching via red button,they can now relax during day,,,,,,,,,,just play up to camera for e4 stream,

BigBrotherfan4ever · 17-05-2009, 02:37 PM

I watched LF from about 10am in the morning untill about 4ish in the aferernoon, then again from about 7ish untill HL show on C4, & then again 3/4 hours after that.

So yeah i did watch LF & i will miss it a lot this year

Its not that I don't get- what I don't get is people who say the show is over without the 24 hour live feed. How, when noone watched it and the papers don't really pick up on stories now anyway?

Harry! · 17-05-2009, 02:38 PM

Yes I watched like a hour a day.

supernoodles! · 17-05-2009, 02:39 PM

tbh I`m gutted about live feed,I diddnt sit there and just stare at the screen but I loved having it on whilst I was in the house in the back ground kinda thing,or when Im in bed,or while im on the computor.

max · 17-05-2009, 02:40 PM

24/7 365 days a year gimme gimme

how can you say no one watched it when the majority of the forums are complaining over it being axed. Clearly a lot of people watched it.
