Haha so true I used to spot that. When I last switched the thing on.

You're probably right!

Look I know he's been on Xfactor and you love him, but frankly that's a comparison to far

Does "Glasses Guy" still haunt the place or is it even too embarrassing for him to show up now?

Those two annoy me intensely....but the one I want to slap is the put on camp guy , slightly round face who always says the opposite of everyone (always wrong and knows jack imo) and then clicks his fingers and turns his back on people ...girlfriend!

Clearly he knows everything and the rest of the world are cretins....but he seems to want a presenting job...pls nooooooo

He is called John I think.....oh God help me....someone help me I know their names....quick ring for help

I know ....dark curly hair .....so annoying !!! Looks likes she is at the wheel tappers and shunters club (working mans club if you weren't around in the 70s or don't know who Bernard Manning is)

The Mohawk being is also known as paintbrush boy in other threads I believe.

I imagine some of the regular faces are either friends/relations of BB employees or come from the housing estate close to BB in Elstree.

can't stand the BBBOTS audience, lets have new faces for a change to keep it fresh & not have the same haggard faces year in year out

Yes, some of the reasons why I don't watch in fact if Rylan was to throw a fish at one of them I swear one would instantly jump up and catch it in their mouth.

He was in the audience a couple of nights back


PMSL at this post

i cant stand him either or the thin woman/ man very thin with glasses who always looks so miserable,

YES!!

to the left of the middle walkway Rylan uses at the back was a girl in a bright blue dress...

i met her in the house in 2013.... both of us were separately interviewed on jack fm as "fans" and i remember her mum taking her photo as she sat in a bath....

in previous bbots she has been part of the "press crowd" during a task & she has commented on rylans mic segments.... SHE DOESNT ANNOY ME at all. She has become more animated to previous appearances but she is just "normal"

last night her friend kissed her on the cheek during the credits.....

but you can tell from their faces the audience is told to look smiley, to clap, to cheer and not just sit there... in the same way as audiences of itv & bbc early saturday night shows have to clap along to whoever is signing on the show... its part of the "look lively, look fun" bling gimmick... and with that comes the need for the extremes to act up. That fakeness or over the top "me me me" I find annoying.

this is after all an entertainment not a biopsy show... HOWEVER I CANT STAND RYLAN HIS OLD GRANNY SCREECH ACT and so will 99% of the time delete it from the second he opens his mouth and says "what a sh. <beep, delete>

But I take my own advice (the line I say to people who don't like where BB/CBB has gone this and every year since 2013 - "it'd not made for your likes, so don't watch" & so I don't... if C5 wanted me demographic to watch cbbots I am sure they would change it's style.

Barbara, Paul and the paintbrush get right on my tits.

She is the one I can't take my eyes off. I think she's reading the auto cue. As an aside, when the hell did our audiences become Americanised with the whooping and hollering like idiots. Not just this program but almost all programs with an audience.

I will admit, I met the "paintbrush guy" a few years back when he worked in the 02, (Im sure it was in the Frankie & Bennys there) he was actually a really sound guy.

Who's Dylan ? :O

All the BOTS audience members have to be trained by this guy before they are allowed to be in the audience

I find the round-faced heavyset guy to be the most annoying. He nearly hurts himself while hollering into the stick mic, and he comes off as frighteningly overly-obsessed with the show. When he's having a fit into the mic, I think "ew, imagine working with that guy...he surely never shuts up about the show."

Sometimes, I'm not sure Barbara knows who the characters are, what year it is, etc.

Paintbrush was so obnoxious the other night when he called the older man Grandpa...the man didn't seem amused. I remember seeing Paintbrush in an earlier season of First Dates, and I gave him lots of credit because his date told him that he was HIV+, and Paintbrush reacted really nicely and maturely. But when he's in that SOTS audience, he is so so hyper and thirsty.

Thankfully, I think Irish blonde highlights guy must have new work hours or something; he hasn't been on as much as in previous seasons.

Oh, and I detest the hooting and screaming. I've always hated that "Whooop-Whooop" thing they do at the start of the show.

Anyone in need of help (please add more names):

Paul - probably most frequent, dark spiky hair, glasses, jazzy jackets
Barbara - short white hair, glasses, doddery
Martin - grey, glasses (again), always very excited
Rob - larger, not as an animated as the others but just as opinionated
Karen - the lady who looks like she's auditioning for the nodding dog advert, her clothes would make Danny La Rue say 'bit much dear'

I've said it before, BBOTS is Newsnight for morons.

Don't watch, it burns your brain.

Yes the woman in the sparkly jacket is one of the worse for this with her over exaggerated facial expressions etc

But otherwise we would never have had Red Dress Girl


They got rid of Judy James and the Speakmans?




Apparently he ran for his local Housing Association and didn't get voted for, so he now flies into BOTS from Belfast to get his point across instead
