This is inevitable when editors are forced to fit days of footage into a consumable forty-minute episode. When we do not have this, it's easier for the troubled houseguests to deny their bad behaviour and blame the actual victims.įor far too long, many Big Brother seasons have been impacted by inaccurate edits. Live feeds create transparency and allow for viewers to get an accurate view of what is happening in the house. After all, it was only after online backlash that some of the houseguests stopped mistreating other houseguests. Imagine if we did not have live feeds to shed light on the problematic behaviour of houseguests in the past, they would have not been held accountable for their bullying and they would have been able to continue to terrorize their targets. Removing the live feeds allows houseguests to hide their bad behaviour, escape responsibility, and blame-shift. Furthermore, seasons like Big Brother 15 and many others have seen Black houseguests and others experience microaggressions, most of which have taken place on the live feeds and have not been shown on the episodes. We saw this with the treatment towards Big Brother 24 winner Queen Taylor Hale. Some Big Brother houseguests can be very nasty. This is an affront to everything that Big Brother stands for and in this petition, I will be outlining why this is a bad idea. Unfortunately, on February 23rd, 2023, it was announced that they will be cancelling the live feeds and replacing them with pre-recorded videos. It is a fascinating experience that has touched many people, and has amassed a large fanbase online. It is a 24/7 live social experiment wherein people form alliances, compete, and evict one houseguest every week.

Speaking of nothing going on, look at this statistic from Tuesday, July 13th, a day in which no competitions were planned, showing how long the feeds were down.Big Brother Canada is a reality show that has helped and inspired so many people.

Feeds have been cutting out mid-conversation for minutes at a time and will then return to an entirely different section of the house with nothing going on. There are also times in which no one is quite sure why the feeds were cut, and they just return with no explanation.Ī lot of the latter has been happening, with some complaints that the constant cuts by "Skippy" (the nickname of the Big Brother person responsible for feed cuts) have made the portions of the feeds that are actually active unwatchable. Then fans are aware that Big Brother will cut feeds occasionally when a Houseguest sings copyrighted music, or, as Brandon "Frenchie" French demonstrated, ask the feeds be shut off temporarily. For example, it's expected that most HOH competitions, nomination and veto ceremonies won't be broadcasted. There are valid reasons for Big Brother to cut the feeds, that we know of.
