I have just watched the final and BOTS on +1, and have realised that I was right not get into it this year. It is badly produced and scripted, and Emma Willis, although I really like her, is just not good at dealing with the live interviews. Rylan is actually getting worse - I warmed to him a bit last time - and can't sing at all, it would seem. And what on earth is going on with his teeth? Awful.
I am glad that Jim Davidson won, but only because he was one of the very few people in there I have heard of, and the rest seemed mostly to be foul.
The only good thing about the whole thing is Iain Lee and I hope he gets a more dominant role next time.

Iain is a good presenter though.
I'd love it if they brought back Big Brothers Big Ears radio show with Iain at the helm again
A person who tries so very hard to be funny but fails miserably. That's why he now finds himself having to take a Rylan support role. The work has dried up.
He's well known as being a big fan of BB, he had slots on BBLB regularly back in the Dermot O'Leary days. I like him and think he and Rylan make quite a good team, FAR better than most of the combinations they have had over the years.
I find him hilarious now cant help laughing when hes on tv like when he was on a sky news morning program this month trying to be serious and keeping a straight face lol he made a comment about police not doing their job with stopping people using mobile phones and driving and the sky presenter didn't seem to agree with the comment which was comical.
I think Rylan is actually getting better it was a good move that they axed AJ Odudu i didn't think she was very good and her voice being squeaky grated on me a bit.
Rick Edwards hosts MIC wrap up show
I wouldn't, I like both of them, Rylan is very good with the audience and Iain is very good at pricking the balloons of the so called experts when they get too stupid, I think they make a great team. The only criticism I would have of Iain is that, on the odd occasion, he can go a bit over the top in the nasty stakes, but he's not been as bad with that over this series. So my vote is to keep them both as a team.
He should front it. Sooooo funny. sez it ow it is.
Just don't get why they have Rylan? Just don't see it.
All I see is those teeth
Now there's a funny bloke.
I love watching him on Tool Academy.
In those days, he was an occasional panelist, saying that his appearances were purely fee orientated. He never watched the Show & relied on the researchers for his info & angle.
I haven't followed his career - presumably, the radio work has dried up !
I like him on the Show - he is not a sycophant & doesn't do the lovey sucking up, which is so rife with other presenters.
I think LBC is the kind of radio station where Iain Lee had to say stuff like that, else he wouldn't have got any work at all on there ..
Iain's good on the show, as is Carole McGiffen but I don't think either of them would want the role of a full-time presenter, there are plenty of better opportunities for both of them.
So would I. it would be like replacing Lorraine on Daybreak with John Humphreys.
Thanks for all your kind words. And even your not so kind words.
I have thoroughly enjoyed myself on BBOTS this time, really has been a lot of fun. Who knows what will happen in the summer?
Iain
PS did anybody notice that Emma didn't make it back from the house in time for the start of the last BBOTS and I had to fill in with seconds to spare?
No. She wasn't missed. Hope you get more air time Iain.
I'd like to see his role increased too.
ha ha ha, I didn't realise that you weren't meant to be in the first segment. You did a good job and thanks for saying you liked Jim on Saturdays Bit on the Psych.
Me too, but I actually think he unintentionally outshines Rylan.
Behind his sharp wit and funnies he is often the voice of reason.
As a double act I did prefer him with AJ and I guess I find it works better to have a man and female double act.
For me Russell brand was an amazing bbbots presenter and Iain is as close to that as they come.
I'd like to see Rylan replaced in the summer but it won't happen. Alice and Jamie were by far Emma's best co-presenters to date.
