I never was bothered much about the lack of live feed but the last year maybe I've noticed.

Not having a live feed is really hurting the format.

To a point where we are now getting 80% of the housemates not getting a bite of the biscuit when it comes to airtime.

The editing in the highlights is a massive problem.

Focusing on one storyline, 2-3 characters for weeks on end. Its giving me fatigue.

Theres no let up. Being bombarded with the same storyline for weeks on end, whilst other far more interesting housemates are creating fun and fabulous moments but aren't being featured and thus deemed 'boring' by the viewers.

BB used to be vent television for me.

The finale was a massive deal. It felt like the end of a journey, the culmination of a full experience.

It was emotional and big and encompassing.

It just happens now. No fanfare, no excitement.

Yer its turd

I think that the Stevi and Chloe garbage is indicative of the production of this series and what BB wanted to promote as an ideal for BB.

I wouldn't be surprised if BB were trying to help them to win thinking they'd achieved something by having the first couple win BB, like it was a landmark or something.
If James and Austin were a couple a couple would have won.
Maybe BB want viewers to love this showmance shit so try to force the issue?
Perhaps they think that their biggest demographic of viewers, women, love this sort of thing, and if they don't then they ought to?

Yep this series was basically about Farrah, Jenna, Austin and James.

Four HMs got a look in, for all her hype Janice barely featured compared to those.
