I am disgusted whilst watching Bit on the Side tonight at how they are treating her. Especially in the panel segment. The questions they were asking were mean and when she answered there were times Alison and Bobby were literally laughing in her face, Nina Myskov was completely VILE in her question trying to make a mockery out of Sophie on TV. The panel are not there to rip into the nominee, tbh I don't know why they bother with them anymore. It was uncomfortable and mean and it really has made me change my mind on this show as a whole. AJ should have stepped in quicker and sterner, she is a presenter not an intern warming up the crowd. The callers chosen didn't like her and were allowed to be rude to her and Emma was colder than ICE towards her in the interview.

Channel 5 need to get there professional head on and give the contestants who are making there show for them the respect they deserve for taking part, whether you like them or not.

Rant Over..... haha!

I thought Alison was a cuddly teddy bear but on BBOTS tonight she came across very badly with her laughing at Sophie.

I totally agree with you ...It was Bullying.
I didn't expect that from Alison,

Sophie didn't do herself any favours by still sounding bossy, but she does seem to have been singled out for particularly harsh treatment.

She was a definitely good value on the show, unlike some of the others.

It makes the show look very very very cheap

Spot on. It was so bad that Rylan actually apologised to her for all the crap she'd had to put up with tonight.

Don't care much for Sophie but the hypocrisy of going for her whilst championing the likes of Carol was quite breathtaking.

Alison who?

Nina was a total bitch - should be ashamed of herself.

Like Sophie has never been a bully diva in the past ... Maybe??!!

couldn't have said it better myself! never understood the hate sophie was getting but, I never expected for her to get such a hostile reception on bbbots! the only person who treated her professionally was rylan

I was certainly no fan of Sophie, but I do agree with the OP about Emma pushing the questions and being very cold towards her in the interview! It's a pity she wasn't a bit more like that with a few other past evictees, she is imo a crap presenter!

And as for BOTS, they are always rubbish, but Nina Myskow is one horrible old crone, no wonder she is a fan of Carol McGiffin!

Sophie seems a strong woman; bullies are weak people on the inside.

This isn't the first time its happened but I would say tonight was the worst ever

I thought Sophie was in her element on BOTS, a whole hour of talking about herself.

Manna from heaven for her.

Am I the only one who thought there was nothing wrong with it?

She's been so poorly treated tonight, I'm so confused as to what she has done that is so bad.
I think she handled the whole thing very well.

She is a beautiful woman and well educated and able to be articulate. Unfortunately she uses 10 words when one will do and demonstrates her possible insecurity due to past indiscretions by pointIng out others imperfections. Why demean yourself by doing such programmes and having to endure resentment and obvious jealousy, dressed up as humour, when surely financially she is beyond need. Unlikely to ever persuade the public to warm to her as she would like and just continue in her endeavors and life.

No I didn't think there was a problem either, Sophie just wanted to rant on about how she hated Carol. It was like change the record .

She only ranted about Carol when they were bringing her up and she has good reason to after all the things Carol has said about Sophie.

She used every question as an excuse to rant about Carol. I don't even like Carol, but Sophie wouldn't shut up about her

This ^^^^^^

Exactly

I really feel bad for Sophie and was disgusted by the way the panelists addressed her. i cannot remember Allison's question or the other guy who i do not know. Nina was really mean and AJ tried to step in. What was Allison's question?

Nearly every question was about Carol and Sophie's relationship so that's why she was talking about her so much
