At least with something that’s being directed you’re likely to not miss the most interesting thing that they can show that’s happening at a given moment.US and Canada have always had 4 streams and 1 quad cam. So five. But you arent getting 4 completely separate conversations, actually you are actually getting 2 different conversations from 2 angles and then you have quad cam with all 4 streams and the audio is panned to the left and right in the quad. Most live feeders in the BB US and Canada will pan audio channels. Wearing earbuds or headphones are the best. And there is usually a least 2 interesting conversations or more. Depending on how many people are in the house. A particularly irritating camera switcher will "affectionately"called SKIPPY on twitter. Because they will change the feed in the middle of a particularly riveting or game relevant conversation and the wrath of the live feeders will immediately appear on Twitter.
It’s also a question of how they should do it? Do they do each feed with groups of people that can swap around at anytime or by room that could become empty at any time? I think it’s far easier for the viewer to just have one feed and have the most interesting thing happening shown at a given time.
If all the houseguests are in the same room, then you get 4 different camera angles. This usually around dinnertime. In the US and Canada because its a game, a sizeable percentage of the conversation is game talk and its usually interesting if you enjoy the social strategy. So there is always something interesting to listen to most of the day. But the problem of "dead rooms" really is not an issue in the US/Canada houses until its a couple people left in the house. With the current US game being 100days, the feeds have been mostly interesting with the exception of "Scary-verse" week. Its been picking up again.
