    And the trouble is too, once again, they've filled the house with the same TOWIE wannabees as last time. Housemates related to celebrities, porn stars, models.... I just don't have any interest in any of them.
    I agree:( Its the same as last year really, too many similar characters and when they all leave first we'll be branded as being sexist/jealous towards the model hm etc:sleep::rolleyes:
    How I miss the days of really big characters:( No prodding needed just a predominently natural progression, the HM's could carry it alone.
    like you say ,it could be a plan b or c
    but i don't think that'll work
    too little too late if it happens
    I fear you may be right. Why even bother, I even usually watch BBBOTS and the Show when its on but was late tonight and havent watched either BBBOTS. This cast make me less excited for the show as well as the lack of LF and full covereage of their personalities

    it shows its still there.
    just after the show ends this thread gets bumped into page2/3
    You had people from BOTS posting here asking if people wanted to be in the Audience?
    was that because they didnt get much from twitter/FB the two mediums C5 think are totally amazing?

    until they make a connection Fans can talk and take better from the show events they can see almost totally.thats how you get the buzz and full fan interaction.Forums will remain the best place to keep shows like Bigbrother going Like all the other shows realise like Xfactor/SCD/BGT.
    what channel 5 might need to think about if they are just going to fart around like this people will just giveup no matter if they bring back the poxy 45 mins.

    Keeping someone starving then throwing a Crust of Bread springs to mind.

    the entire thing is a farce.
    I think thats what leaves the nasty taste for a show thats moved on it appears to be trying to fool people enough.

    My take on this is.

    channel 5 and 5* have leased out after midnight.these contracts are more than likely very long ones to get the best deal from the firms.

    they dont want to spend the money out on Red button/internet feed and deep in the bowels of C5 HQ they more than likely know not having the feed was the biggest bloody disaster they did.And it just perpetuated the error when that 45 mins post feed brought in some amazing numbers for them.Collective Gulps all around

    Wrong thread

    We all just want straight answers from C5
    that is unlikely to happen

    Stop messing around with the promises of some 45min of live feed here and there

    many of us don't like the changes that C5 have done to the show
    but lets face it,even if you don't watch live feed,without it this is not the BB we know
    this forum is dead most of the time until the highlights are on

    there is nothing to to talk about
    some of the threads in this forum are a joke now
    with posters just guessing whats going on or even talking about what
    they are not showing
    and the rest arguing about how/if C5 have destroyed BB

    what we should be talking about is what is going on in the house
    but we have no idea with the odd twitter or Facebook clips/pictures updates

    Why take on BB then remove the very thing which made it.......livefeed

    1:58am As the HMs are snuggling up in their beds, it's time to say good night, #bbukfans. We'll be back bright and early tomorrow.

    How convenient,yet again all the housemates are in bed by 2am
    Even if you don't watch live feed,no one can argue that this can be believable
    whoever is doing this twitter update can make it up as they go along
    and how would we know
    Time to wake up and realise you are being told what may be going on in the house
    not necessarily what is going on in the house

    Emma and Brian can stand and smile pretending this is the same show.It clearly isnt.The fact the forum comes to life when the 10pm show comes on then the rest of the day its just rather quiet and treading water.Until Channel 5 realise its the internet forums give all cult shows its energy twitter and FB are just very small mediums when a show has based its foundations long before either invented.

    having watched many other BB's around the world
    i have never seen anything so gimmicky and dumbed
    down as what C5 have done to the show
    The highlights shows in other BB's are a reflection
    of the days events
    but what is more striking is that the live feed is promoted in other BB's
    You would never know it was Endemol who produced the same
    shows
    BB's around the world really are reality tv whereas this C5 show is not.

    so they clock off at 2am regardless
    looks like there's not even 24 hours in a channel 5 day

    channel 5 need to move with the times but they have taken the show backwards

    in the good old days of real big brother there was a lot of late night action on the live feed that often didn't make the highlights shows but at least viewers could see it

    channel 5's refusal to provide 24/7 streaming is just crazy
    jeff ford has gone quiet on that particular subject
    i wonder why ? ;)

    he wonders why ricky jervais won't give him a chance
    more importantly .he should wonder why viewers won't give big brother a chance

    I'm beginning to believe there is something wrong with me ! I have been a faithful viewer from BB1 and yes that includes Live Feed, and I cannot accept that people are fawning and cooing over this disgrace that C5 are doling out to us. H ave people lost their sense of individual choice or have the ones that are bigging up this debacle ever enjoyed seeing the day to day living in the house. I don't agree with being "allowed" to watch what C5 deem I should see. Once again something we were great at in the past has been destroyed.

    channel 5's cunning plan of turning 'event tv' into 'non event tv' is a very strange plan indeed
    i'd like to be a fly on the wall at channel 5 towers
    what stories could be told then

    just saw the other thread so week 4 and still no feed.
    why did they ever put that in an email??? what on earth is wrong with them at channel 5 dear lord
    its the first rule of CS you never put information down thats likely to make sitations even worse.

    Prior to BB launch.,,yes its back post eviction.
    launch its back but only on special events
    four weeks and not a peep..

    What with the football,
    stupid twist/eviction planned tonight on BB
    Alan Carr summertime show from 9-11pm
    featuring Justin Beiber,
    this could prove an interesting night ratings wise for C5
    just the night when live feed really should be on

    channel 5 showing a total disregard for viewers once again
    i'm not sure how they hope to attract or retain viewers with that attitude

    have you noticed with Endemol?
    you tweet them but all they do Is churn out show info.
    I dont think they even read incoming tweets.

    endemol are the masters of social media
    they appear to have taught channel 5 everything that they know
