IMO The true essence of any version of Big Brother is the live feeds. Always being watched at all times by anyone. That is literally the point of difference the show has that sets it apart from the 99 other "captured living" tv formats. Those shows are basically all an edited product of story producers rather than the 24/7 real footage streamed live. Its no longer Big Brother at that point. Big Brother Canada fell into that trap when they ended live feeds this year. So they offer up hours of digital dailies footage on their website. But its not the same show and not as engaging. It will be interesting if ITV leverages the potential of ITVX to stream live footage from the house. If not it almosts begs the question why rush and shoot it at all in real time? Why not shoot and take the time to edit it like BBAU at that point.
