Uh-oh, tinhats at the ready.

Shall we play hyperbole bingo game- "this is the worst decision EVER", "well done Channel 5, you've just KILLED the series"

Vicky. · 26/06/13 - 20:07

Of course the ratings are poor given the timeslot :rolleyes:

SnowStorm86 · 26/06/13 - 20:08

If true, I wonder what they will show on 5* instead.

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Just axe it rather than putting it on at a decent time:mad::mad::mad:

Verence · 26/06/13 - 20:09

Axed starting from when??

Barracute · 26/06/13 - 20:09

Not really a surprise given how bad they have been (around 50K i seem to recall for the 7-9 slot) to be brutally honest we wouldnt have missed much if they never showed it at all - it has been really boring !

meglosmurmurs · 26/06/13 - 20:09

Well that sucks.

I thought I was bad but Ch5 have given a whole new meaning to the term 'half-arsed' when it comes to BB.

Yeah and if they actually expect some killer ratings for that show :rolleyes: it was a bad time slot to begin with, that was the problem - not the live feed in itself.

Stefano92 · 26/06/13 - 20:10

Not surprised. The people begging for it didn't even bloody watch it. I watched it everyday.

xmel05 · 26/06/13 - 20:10

LMAO!

Meltdowns here we come!

Up against the soaps it was hardly going to win. I red button it and watch it later on. CH5 I hate you! :mad:
No more 35p votes from me, those two hours were the only couple of hours that I got to see what the HM's are really like.

richie4eva · 26/06/13 - 20:11

And that's that, no feed at all now and we're back to BB12 levels with nothing at all

SegaGamer · 26/06/13 - 20:11

I hate you so much Channel 5 :mad:

It's like they did it on purpose, put it on at the worst possible time just so they can say "we tried but we were right, not enough people are interested" screw you Channel 5 :mad::mad::mad:

Timing is the issue...

What viewing figures would they have got if they had the nightly LF starting immediately after BOTS??

To take one example we would have seen Deadgate as it happen rather than an edited version

I agree.

They should have it running till the HMs go to bed for the night.

But they won't do that because "teleshopping" is worth more to them.

Rylan and AJ would take great pleasure in saying that on BOTS every chance they got

To be scrupulously fair we should wait until there is an absolutely 100% official announcement before we all go off on one

happybbfan · 26/06/13 - 20:12

not at all surprised
should have been on later or online only

Might still get the 30mins after BOTS on eviction nights as the OP's quote just refers to 5* and the 5 after BOTS lf got better ratings

And Supercasino is sponsoring the show.

Stefano92 · 26/06/13 - 20:13

Why the **** don't they just move it! Seeing as late night feed has gotten 500k after evictions!

previews · 26/06/13 - 20:13

I dont care how dull it is, it's a hell of lot more interesting than the wall to wall spread of soaps that are plastered across the main channels in that time slot.

Quinxy · 26/06/13 - 20:13

Quick question. Why did they axe the 24/7 live? That is what makes Big Brother for me.

Hey there!
