What exactly do the audience on BBOTS provide to the viewers experience?

IMHO they are a total waste of time, because they are the same (probably local) fame-seeking people, night after night and their opinions are generally a load of bollocks!

C5 .... you could save yourself a fortune excluding these people and thus giving BBOTS a decent refresh that might actually be interesting to viewers!

I have no idea either. They are utterly pointless. Thank God those annoying grinning women have been scarce this series.

A sense of nausea, embarrassment and shame usually.

and why do they whoop and holler on demand about everything? the cheering and frantic applause every 30 seconds or so is brain-numbing -- esp as nothing is particularly funny or original.

bring back Floppsy!

That just about sums it up

There are a few good ones, a few beauties too which is nice .

There's a tanned brunette grinning woman regularly on BOTS now. She's hilarious as she's so so sure what she says is correct (every time completely off the mark) and smiles away at Emma and Rylan. I've grown fond of her delusion.

bring back the "you s*it-house" whale from the Russell Brand days.

Seen loads of Paul this series but where are Daniel and Graham (yes I am that sad that I know some of the frequent fliers names)?

How is the same lot all of the time?
