It seems to be getting scheduled later and later. It used to be straight after the main show but hasn't for a couple series.

I know that Rylan's chat show was a disaster ratings rise - I understand there will not be a second series and BOTS isn't attracting the audience it used to. Are they slowly letting the show go?

I hope so, BOTS is a very tired format now, they really should think of a new format for the sister show.

No they are not

Hopefully.

Like the idea of BOTS, but sadly Rylan, the panellists and the audience members ruin it.

Ditch them all. Bring in a decent host (Russell Brand clone), some intelligent panellists and an audience not plucked from chavs-ville.

BOTS is a waste of budget.

It's really the panel for me, they invite half-wit chavs a lot of the time.

I to have wondered about it, I usually stay with it till the first break when its on right after the show, but it's not worth staying up late for.

On to late and its getting harder to watch
I realised the other day I've been watching it 2O mins and all they have done is show of and annoy me and not really spoke about bb.

Needs improving its not bb it's the Ryan show .

When the show's on at 10 then it's straight after, but CBB's on at 9pm because it's the prime slot (unlike civilian which gets moved around depending on what C5 wants to put in the prime slot) so they then wait until 11 for BOTS.

It doesn't seem to be getting any later to me - it's on at 11 most nights.

It could be better, they just need to have more discussion about the housemates rather than all the sh!t segments that are just not funny.

I watch BOTS online and fast forward to news/footage of what happens inside the house. The rest of it is garbage.

Yes that's normally when I start to channel hop or read my kindle or something. I'd rather longer conversations with the panel and the audience about the housemates.

I'd rather panelist who actually watch the show too and have some inkling of how it is going down with the public...or to be truthful us on here

I hope it's going, or changing, it's pretty dire.

A good after show can save even really dull BB's. I used to love watching the early ones with Dermot and the late night Russell Brand one because even when the main show was boring they made you laugh and take the (gentle) p out of it, both BB and housemates. I particularly like the housemates week on the after show because you'd see a whole different side to them. It got to the stage where I wanted my faves to leave so I'd see them on it.

Now BOTS seems to be just towing the party line with the same guests and the same audience members all the time and it's boring.

I'd rather see a half hour show with news and a few exclusives. The discussion is usually pointless and interrupted before anything of significance is said.

I liked Dermot, although I never liked the stupid games and skits they did. I never liked Brand and felt his show was more about him and less about BB - which seems to be the complaint most people have about Rylan, the irony being that so many of them loved Brand!

It really is that simple.

They need to do better with the panel for sure.

I wouldn't mind some originality in the audience as well, why is it always the same 10 people who show up for this every day? Some diversity would be nice there, maybe wouldn't have led to the totally disproportionate view that Jason was the devil this summer.

I'm not so keen on Russell now but yeah he did make me laugh on that. I still giggle at Lea and the Whale. . The skits and charcters seemed better and more thought out than today's 'back of the envelope stuff' I even liked Leigh Francis' Avid Merrion when he was obsessed with Jade and I can't stand him now .

It was all just funnier then and more irreverent. Or perhaps I'm just older now
