    I've said for a couple of years that there only really needs to be two editions of BOTS a week

    Monday night for the official noms announcement and discussion thereof

    and

    Friday night for discussion of the eviction and interview with the evictee

    I don't much care for the show on any day. I couldn't give a shit what a handful of bussed in nomarks and tenuously famous nomarks think about the episode I've just watched. Why would I? Why would anyone?

    That's what the spin off should be - a glorified Diary Room Uncut, adding flesh to the bones of the highlights show with footage that didn't make the cut because it wasn't in keeping with the narrative.

    I'm sure there was plenty of other stuff that went on yesterday besides the nominations and the "fall out".

    In the absence of live feed, the spin off's job should be to fill in the blanks, help us know the housemates better - not via phonecalls to their mothers, but by showing us what they've been up to.

    I wonder if this is a regular slot now. It's on for 90 minutes next Monday as well.

    Agree with qwertyell above.

    Can't rely on BOTS, Its just a taking the piss show with no coverage what so ever.

    Have to agree - what's the point -
    I have watched it this season but turned it off when Lauren Harries started to sing.

    I would prefer it to be cancelled and the money used on the main show.

    I think there are better opinions on Digital Spy than bbots.

    Thankfully I recorded it. I still gave up half way through. The panel was shite. Why Denise Robinson, she was rubbish last year yet here she is again. An hour is long enough and as others have said either live feed or DR uncut would be better.

    The ad breaks were 7-8minutes long. Despite Rylan saying back in 3.So there wasn't much extra content

    thing is - I don't mind Rylan , he's pretty sharp and knows what's going on (none of the guests do) and he basically has to carry it , even the production staff don't help anymore , .

    it's just : here's a studio , a bunch of idiot guests , fill 90 minutes .

    That's also when I gave up.
    I think Rylan is a good presenter but they gave him literally nothing to work with last niight apart from a lot of daft stuff that was more like an episode of celeb juice, very little had anything to do with BB and it was obvious Denise hadn't even been watching.

    TBF last night when Jack was mentioned it was more negitive

    Someone said he was obviously pissed off about using his pass and only did it to look good but if he only had one he wouldn't.

    Most seemed quite Anti Jack.

    Bring back Russell Brand, or even Dermie ! Even Russell's ball bags would seem entertaining compared to this crap.

    The woman on the bottom far left hand side was in the same House tour as me in 2013... that i think was the only thing on the show that was interesting (for me)...

    Rylan really is the worst presenter of an adult aim show.

    A couple of half hour programs of Diary room uncut would be much more fun and valuable as an insight into the HMs characters.
