If the live stream is done properly, it will be a successful season at least for this forum.
Big Brother is a community show. It's very hard to find a show that built a community like Big Brother. And live feeds are gold for the community. I've been sitting through shitty seasons before, be it because the housemates were bland or the producers being very bad at their job. Being able to discuss the show 24/7 or reading the commentary 24/7 makes all the difference. Worst case it will turn into a snark session but even those are fun. I reckon that's why some people in the UK still bother with their two hours of censored live feeds... they make it a community event, even if it's just communal complaining about bird songs.
But obviously, we need the ratings for the TV shows to be good for us to have long-term feeds.
