Yes they are annoying... *AND* the live feeds on Sky Dig are crap this year. Last year you could select them and make them full screen. This year you can't.

Fe*k

Yep, while I don't mind there being a ticker with something to read when the action gets a bit dull, it really doesn't need to be so high up the screen. The ticker should be at the very bottom of our screens, like you get on news channels.

I laughed at the text messages last night - they were all saying how much people hate anushka already!!

Annoying if they're gonna be a regular thing - maybe they should just do it now and again (ie so people can comment on tasks, or nominations) Not all the time, cos you end up reading them and not paying attention to the live action!

Agreed the interactive bit sucks this year its terrible, the best was bb2 where you had 4 sceens 2 live, 1 an hour before and 1 several hours before so you could catch up - last year where it played stupid clips over and over was shite and this year is terrible!!

If it aint broke an' all that!!!

Ummm ::lol::

Most of the messages are the same "Anouska out shes annoying doz me head in" or "fed and scott are well fit" Boring!! If you are gonna send a text might aswell make it a good one!

Agree with you, they are infuriating ! There is now an organised campaign against this nonsence, with a petition just waiting for signatures !
