I loved BB5 Wasn't that the year Nadia won.

I was watching 5 it can't beat NCIS (even a repeat) and CSI.

Serves `em right. Its just not Big Brother any more and its on its way out as far as I`m concerned. No point to the programme without live feed.

Plus - its just becoming sewerage - people spitting, sticking bananas up their backsides, sitting with bare bottoms on food preparation surfaces ..... this country is going to the dogs.

High five - cheers

there isnt much point in watching there is no buzz from the folks who did watch LF reporting back thru the day so we could dip in an out while at work to keep up to date with goings on so the buzz has gone thats why ratings r falling and intrest is dying

Agree

Well bb know what to do if they want the ratings up.......

Perhaps the Saturday HL show has less viewers because some of it is about the eviction which of course has already been shown.

It was inevitable with NO live feed!! We all know the edit determines who goes etc... so most people who are used to live feed won't vote and maybe not watch..

I have to say I would tend to miss the H/L show if it's on at 10:00 PM, much prefer it to be on at 9:00.

High five Jeggo.

Can you be more specific about which country?
Ireland, England, or The Fatherland?

It wouldn't be so bad if the country had gone to the dogs but that flatters it. It's even lower down the evo scale. BUT where exactly?

I'd prefer if they stuck to a standard 9pm slot. The times I have missed the show because I have set the recorder for the wrong time.

Tonights ratings will be interesting....no arguments seen on LF to boost the figures. Last nights ratings (Sunday) were higher than Saturdays due to the arguments I think. I wonder if tonights will be back to Saturdays levels?

As for Saturdays low figures...serves them right...they messed with my BB viewing - so they can now reap what they sowed!

Its probably not the thing to do ~ but I take
great delight in these figures.

We did tell 'em, didn't we?

I'm amazed it's getting as many viewers as it is

The ratings have been falling sharply since BB8; last years (BB9) was the least watched ever. I don’t believe the lack of LF has anything to do with the ratings, barely anyone was watching LF (which is why they got shot of it).

The series average so far for BB10 is 2.6 million (and that’s only on overnights and without +1), those are still excellent ratings for a channel 4 show.

I am surprised no one has sued BB as the programme is "not fit for purpose", th legal term which means something has to be fit for what it wa intended for. well this was a reality progrogamme but is no more.
I wateched opening night then fee minutes snaother night. simply awful

that's what they get when they treat there core fan base like puppet! watch this bit we selected because you cant make your own mind up who you (or is that who we) like and want to win if we let you watch it 24/7

this is an ex show, it is no more,it rests in peace, if channel 4 hadnt nailed it to its perch it would be pushing up the daisies by now,
it has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisibule,

still.....beutiful plumage,

thats excellent news, 0.6m below ch4's break even point, with luck it'll get pulled off air soon so a channel that actually wants to do a proper bb show can start doing it.

more watched the live feed than looked at their scabby, out of date, advert laden clips.

and it wasnt the million or so a day who watched the live feed that it supported, it was the entire bb "industry" that were reliant on reading about what happened on the lf, without that there is no interest.

interestingly the majority of those viewers who have switched off are older viewers (35+)

this year the audience is much younger than any other BB with around 40-50% made up of 16-34, last year was around 25-35

well if we had live feed and tell people this that the other happened then we are more inclined to watch the highlight show

one bbbm
no diary room uncut
live feed on at an ungodly hour
no more 24/7

not a bit of wonder

Well I am watching

i'm not, a big brother without a live feed is like having a forum where the page doesnt update for hours.

absolutely useless.

and at least on the form there is a way around it, on bb there isnt.

C4 can believe what they like.... but the fact is, I've actually seen petitions in the street against the LF issue. If even half of these people with the strongest views on LF are turning off, then it's bound to make a difference to ratings. They wont put livefeed back now, its too late and they wont admit its because of the livefeed tht he numbers have tumbled..... BUT we know better. If even just the people on the forums that are boycotting turned back on, the numbers would rise dramatically.... but we wont and they'll just have to grin and bare it till hopefully someone else buys the programme and puts it back on track !!

they get rid of everything....the live feed.....d/r uncut etc etc.....viewing figures fall.....channel 4 will therefore justify their decision to axe bb due to the lack of viewer interest.....and will spout 'we only had 2 million viewers....this justifies our decision to cut the l/f....no one was watching anymore'......

if channel 4 do drop it.....i hope someone else buys it....puts l/f back on.....viewing figures soar and they make shed loads of money.....would serve c4 right
