True fact is that this show does not work without full live feed, Highlight show is scripted TV which Big Brother should not be and people are switching off.
They should do something like this online for the 24 hour live feed, Then just stick a link to it on the Channel 5 website. Working well for the Youth Olympics and that may be on less budget then BB:
big brother has been to big for channel 5 to handle
channel 5 wanted to punch above their weight , probably by their standards ,their watered down version has worked out ok'ish for them but no where near ok'ish for me
am hoping that viacom have some ambition and can take the show forwards
but that would mean endemol upping their game too ,not sure about them
It is showing an hour tonight but as I said in another forum, my Tivo showed live feed on Monday night on 5HD but was replaced by a bear programme that has been repeated 3 times since Saturday night.

yep looks like they pulled a lot of the live feed.
More fool them but don't expect anything else at the moment.
its just my opinion but isn't it surprising the live feed dries up and the ratings start slowing down. You put the brakes on the show its going to impact others parts of that show interest being top of the list.
I watched the live feed last night if Channel 5 cant see what insight this gives outside the highlight show format nothing will. Its been the biggest disaster for them ever axing the feed they have been airing a halfbaked show since they bought the rights.
channel 4 aren't adverse to twiddling about with the ratings
remember when they quoted the live feed viewer figures by using a 2am - 3am slot
they couldn't fool anyone , any of the time
yep that really was the birthing pool of this thread.
you had a set of numbers Happy did and I did trying to find out which were correct took about 6 weeks didn't it then finally they admitted the time of night they were taken....:D
If there *was* a true Live Feed, that would give the lie to the biassed and refocussed editing that goes on on the Lowlights show.
We get to see what the producers *want* us to see and that is inevitably geared to producing the maximum voting load.
Cynical? Moi?
it does appear voting has pretty much collapsed since its moved to channel 5.
for the "winner" to only get 100k votes is just incredible I hope they take on board the suggestions made numerous times now top of the list unless they reconnect with people they wont feel compelled to vote and spend money
Viacom have a few channels to put the live feed on or they could put it online like BB:USA.
the reaction this series is getting they have been bonkers not ending the 2014 run with as much feed as possible. 2015 cant be like this because its just degrading nearly everything.

They could use flashcards, or a re-enactment society in my garden, or glove puppets.
I just want proper live feed to rekindle a proper sense of enjoying a reality series instead of an almost entirely manipulated waste of my time.
"Channel 5 Boss Acknowledges Falling Big Brother Ratings"
But STILL refuses to listen to the actual BB fans and will carry on catering for the youth market only until they pull the plug?
That is the problem. They only every brought BB to turn it into a teenie prog with no intention of running it like BB is meant to be run. So if it fails as their youth puller, they will just stop making it.
They will then claim that it failed on Channel 5 but never once see that it failed because of what they did to it.

its been a self enforced failure completely agree. The Grand plan didn't work flaccid ratings but they carried on. Last year some tiny embers of change all dropped this year and back to the start.
The format just needs some love and investment and stop with the Fake HM's who can act 24hrs a day no problem. When they don't listen and keep pushing people away is there any surprise the ratings fell.
the live feed appears to have been cancelled tonight for the flimsiest of reasons
although it ties in with Ben frow's recent clueless comments about big brother
so it shouldn't come as a surprise

It is understood the deal will be finalised by 20 September, giving the US media giant – which operates MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon – full control of the public service broadcaster.

hope top of the list this sort the shows format out.

Channel 5 Boss Acknowledges Falling Big Brother Ratings, Admits 'Stand By Your Man' Was Awful
But if you are overreliant on Big Brother, when it does fall down – and one day it will decline further – the whole lot falls down around it.
i'd like to know what he means by the 'whole lot' ,there is nothing much ,if anything
