I'm glad they haven't gotten rid of everyone. I'm expecting the live shows to return to being amazing if they've realised Brian and Jamie brought nothing good to the show.

Please nobody tell me I'm missing something!

Is he the guy that they were trying to find a man for on BOTS?

That's the one, the one who also loved the booing mob as well I may add

If true about Sutcliffe, hopefully a more positive feel to the crowd coming as well

I hope he has gone! Don't suppose we can get rid of the countdown, sirens and pop music upon evictions can we?

Yeah he is. He encouraged the crowd to boo and chant on the live shows, wanted to leave the eye open which always resulted in awful interviews - enforcing the cheap, downmarket image that the show has had for the last few years.

Every thing is set for one of the best series of BB ever. (Minus Rylan). I so don't want to be disappointed.

I actually expect that it will be gone. They seem to be totally going with what the fans want this year. Jamie seemed to like the camp, celeb look of the live shows and we seem to be getting a darker, slightly more back to basics series.

The only thing that raises a question mark with this is Rylan but I'm willing to give him a chance. If it doesn't seem forced and they let all the presenters relax and just do their thing it could work well.

His name would be on the list if he was still working for BB. Glad that he's gone now!

We can only hope. I know its bad to be glad that someone to be ousted from their job but what he said about evictions seems he liked the negativity surrounding the show.

He was Live Producer so he's definitely gone.

Yes !!! Brilliant news. The live shows on channel 5 were nothing short of horrific under him !

I recall he was the one that liked the fact of the crowd booing, so glad he is gone. Hopefully more cheering from the crowd.

It would appear he has been given the chop also, fingers crossed!

I would also love to see the back of Marcus's eviction call, the countdown, sirens and music!

It just wouldn't be the same on eviction nights without a crowd but a more positive, exciting atmosphere would be most welcome and I think Emma will help to encourage that!

Not a cat's chance in hell , though it will probably be less encouraged now.

Clean out has happened then.

maybe he found true love.
or now runs EHarmony

Pretty sure the Executive Producers are the same as always.

The people that brought you The White Room, Friends and Family nominations, The Crypt and all the other shit twists and interference that I've repressed from my memory already.

Not sure the bloke that put together the live shows was the major problem...

Have the editors changed?

I'm happy with all the changes except feeling a bit dubious about Rylan as I really disliked him on the show and never really watched X Factor although knew of him. However I actually think he is a really hard worker and could be a talented presenter too. It'll be the direction of the show probably more than Rylan that could bug me. However if the show is stupid it'll be Rylan who winds me up, but if they go with more of a discussion and less stupidness and nastiness towards evictees then I reckon I can warm to Rylan.

To be honest, if Rylan is crap I have faith in Frow to get rid of him.

Thank god.

Great news!

I just hope they've got rid of the terrible music montages in the H/L shows... all of these necessary changes will be for zilch if we still have those

Hopefully all his shows will be co-presented with AJ, with her doing all the actual presenting and him doing the simpler inter-personal, backstage and VT stuff that he's more likely to thrive at.
