A step in the right direction .

I guess they will see how big an audience it pulls in..... and maybe, just maybe they will bring LF  back for the summer..... we can hope

 RESULT!!!

A tippee toe step...............for gawds sake, BB is about watching people 24/7 ......

Wow. A whole hour of Live Streaming each week. Two hours when there's a mid-week eviction.

They're really spoiling us, aren't they?

It's a start.

 Oh dear.

TBH, I have very mixed views about this.

The "glass-half-full" view is as you say: it's a start. Perhaps their dipping their toe in the water to see how it works and what the reaction is like. Maybe it will lead to bigger things.
The "glass-half-empty" view is that it's a mere sop. They hope to shut-up the whingers with the barest minimum of streaming possible.

Let's not forget that C5 have admitted they could have given us LF for the last series, but chose not to. In that context, this looks like a very weak gesture and I can understand why some on DS are calling it a "p!ss-take".

There are moments when I think about how desperate we were for any information about what was going on (yes: especially after evictions) and I feel that even the smallest of crumbs like this would be A Good Thing. Then I remember how painful it was trying to piece events together without 24/7 LF, and how badly we were misled over certain HMs because of the limited and heavily-edited material we were drip fed. As it currently stands, that will not change: two hours a week simply isn't enough.

By all means lets enjoy the post-eviction coverage, but the campaign for the return of proper Live Feed must continue. It's simply not BB without it...

The sun are claiming Nicola McLean is going in the house, she was a right gobby c-w on BBOTS 

^ I just read that too Aimee, what the hell?! It may as well be wags bb at this rate

She was the one that said Aaron looked like he could be a wife abuser in real life  i think i've found my person to grrrrrr at 

I want her evicted already

GET NICOLA OUT oh it hasn't started yet 

It's not really live feed in my view. They've made it into a show called 'Live From The House'.

I'm with Eugene on this. We need live feed on the internet 24/7, loads of us would pay for the privilege, and I can't understand why they're so reticent.

I stopped watching Channel 5's BB after the first eviction night when I was craving live feed and couldn't watch it. It's a much needed part of Big Brother, for me anyway.

The good thing is that these live feed shows will be after the evictions. But I always want more!

Read on DS that Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, Rosie Jones and Phoebe Price are also signed up.Frederick is Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband and a socialite. Phoebe is a Hollywood trainwreck.         

I had to google Jones

TBH, I'd be impressed by anyone who recognizes all 3 of that lot by name alone.

Phoebe Price doesn't even have a Wiki page (yet...   ), although she is on IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1526673/

Be warned though that her bio on it appears to me mostly self-promoting BS. Some of the Message Boards are interesting though...

Truth is that her Dad made a lot of money in the motor trade, and her Mum bought her a Modelling Agency. She now lives mainly off her inheritence from her Dad.

I suppose she's a true "professional celebrity". Technically she's an actress (hence the IMDB page), but she's an actress in the same way that most LA waitresses are: she's only really had parts as extras in small-budget films and shorts.

There are shades of Jemma Palmer in Phoebe as her as her real age appears to be a moveable feast. Also, her nickname is the gossip rags is "Chicken Cutlets"!

@Ed_StarOnSunday    Edward Gleave BB goss: there will be more midweek evictions in the next series of celeb BB. With an hour of live feed for an hour after #cbb 4 minutes ago
BBUKC5     Big Brother UK (C5). The housemates can expect some big surprises... Housemates can be evicted at any time. #CBB2012.         

I'd much rather have LF for ordinary BB but it's a good sign I suppose.

I’m beyond excited. I can’t wait to meet the new housemates

Host Brian Dowling

CELEBRITY Big Brother bosses have turned the spy-on-the-wall house into an Alpine chalet.

Producers aim to raise the heat in the new year as temperatures plummet outside.

And in a bid to spark some frisky fun they have installed a hot tub. The producers want the stars to warm themselves up by diving in the bubbles and enjoying steamy romps.

Last night a source on the Channel 5 show said: “The new Celebrity Big Brother will be all geared up for winter fun. It promises to be a sexy series.”

Celebrity Big Brother will return on Thursday, January 5.

Host Brian Dowling, 33, said: “I’m beyond excited. I can’t wait to meet the new housemates.”

Names in the frame were rapper Tinchy Stryder, 25, Ryan Giggs’ sister-in-law lover Natasha Giggs, 29, Loose Women’s Denise Welch, 53, former EastEnder Natalie Cassidy, 28, and the X Factor’s shamed Frankie Cocozza, 18.

Last night a Channel 5 spokesman said: “Big Brother executives are in talks with a number of celebrities about appearing on the series but we’re not confirming any names at the moment.”

Promises to be sexy.That reject Frankie from XFactor has said he will have sex in the house  I do wish they would just let things develop naturally, I hate when we are force fed what the producers think we want to see.
