Why not just simplify things and go:
a) not a useless waste of pixels

Rylan was great when being himself but his sing song whispered delivery of the autocue is dreadful. We lose all his spontaneity which we originally liked. Someone give him some training, preferably Emma.

AJ has to gooooooooooooooooo she is a lovely looking girl but her last week delivery smacked of over hyping every woooooooooooooord, her eyes glistened, her speech elaborated, her smile widened, she was so over the top she was unintelligible.

Phil Solo - you know it dude!

All Night! What a fantastic suggestion. Someone mentioned before that the programme-makers are strapped for cash and this is why they've employed these charlatans. Well why not audition members of the public who love the show and would do the job a million times better for relatively little money.


Another point - why do the presenters have to be stick thin and photogenic to get the gig?! In an age where people are awake to the issues surrounding self-image, especially in young adults, you'd think that they'd take people on their talent and personality rather than how they look!

I have no doubt AJ got the job because she's fit. It can't be because she is competent.

and AJ selling fruit in her fingerless gloves

Speech impediment? Are you saying AJ has one? Are you saying Luke has one as well?

What is it please?

Probably a good rule to keep.
No chance of those jolly, hilarious, cheeky chubby chappies getting the gig, then

Oh Dave you are controversial with your bigoted views! lol

Seriously why should only skinny, photogenic people get the gigs? I thought we were past that?

I want to see fat people take over. I am fat and proud. I will do the job.

Ah, now we see your motivation!

This is exactly what I do. I can't stand rylan so only watch. Only Emma & psych for me although Ajax ain't much better but at least I can look at her.

Davina used to do Friday's Big Mouth, after the evction, i no it sometimes ran a few minutes late, due to her having to dash up the hill to get to the studio.

Maybe Emma could do Fridays, if the schedule for the evening got changed a bit.

10:30, go to live streaming, and get the instant reaction from the house, rather than an hour later. Or another programme, but not Wedding Planner.

11/11,30: Bit on the Side, that would give emma a few minutes to get herself up together, change outfit, and also would mean the evicted housemate, could possibly, go and get a shower, get changed.

Given up watching the sister shows now, it's embarassing

I have no problems with Rylan at all - in fact he is really good for someone with so little experience.

But AJ is a nightmare. She can't even pronounce her words properly and her awful SHOUTING hurts my ears.

good post, but i think rylan has a lot of potential, i actually find him better than emma

Wazzy - you're on to me mate!

Did anyone notice about 10 days ago when Emma went to take some calls and AJ was there. The producers must have put Emma in there to sort it out. AJ ruins every phonecall - if you don't believe me watch the next programme.

Anyway, Emma was asking questions which were interesting and pertinent and interesting to the caller and, seeing that she was being replaced, AJ tried to hijack the call. It was really cringey.

The producers are onto AJ - they are thinking, "what were we thinking?!"

I genuinely read that as 'enema' first, and nearly lost a whole cup of fizzy water!!!

I love it, Dave - keep em coming!

Rylan is fine, and has improved massively since the start.
AJ on the other hand............

Ah! she's a puppet.
That explains it

I wonder whether this differential between presenters and styles is an attempt to please some of the people most of the time. We had similar when alternating between Emma and Alice, though Alice was certainly not in the vein of AJ or Rylan she was very different from Emma and they are trying to cover a number of bases (real or imagined).

I agree. Even when Rylan and AJ are on together I only enjoy the bits Rylan does and groan inwardly every time AJ butts in.

What about Paul O'Grady? He'd be a great presenter...

But then I reckon he'd be an even better housemate!

Not to worry - it is reported today, in the Star , that Dan is very keen to take over Rylan's job

You must teach me that trick - the dog gets really really worried when I start screaming at the telly again.

Oh heck...it will turn into a cross between BOTS and Crimewatch....


"Take a look at this clip and if you know this person please call....don't have nightmares, do sleep well"

For Rylan surely in his eyes BOTS must be a stop gap, for his music career, fancying putting yourself through months of auditions, to get onto the X Factor, then become a presenter
