Time to axe Bit On The Side and be done with it.

[Patrick]

..How did we go from Dermot O'Leary getting analysis of experts, Russell Brand getting opinions of the viewers, and having proper spin off shows about Big Brother, that could be taken seriously - to Brian Dowling and a ****** talking about how much they want to rim eachother.

This show pisses me of so much. It's a mockery.
It stands no other purpose other than;

1. Giving Chavs somewhere to go in the rain.
2. Taking the piss out of Big Brother fans.
3. Trying to be hilarious.

Was really looking forward to having Brian in the Post Box so someone could ring in and say he's a sh*t host.

But no, we get #GayTV and they run out of time. Please remind me again why they think having Bit On The Side is doing anyone any good? Just replace it with Live Feed ffs.

Its a shame the show has become a big huge camp fest, but thats just the way it is :(

[Jamie585]

Nah.. I still like it.

[Patrick]

Isn't it! Like this is gonna sound picky, but even the ******ing graphics on the screen since it's moved to Channel 5 have been as camp as you can get.

[Me. I Am Salman]

glad I'm not watching tonight.

[Maia]

Can't be bothered with it really and the recurring characters they bring on like Jeff, awful

BBLB >>>>>

[Jarrod]

Better than absolutely nothing after the main show.

[icecakes]

time to axe the whole thing, its was just one big fix from start to finish, everything was orchestrated to promote rylan :sleep:

[Patrick]

No Jarrod, it really isn't. :laugh: I'd rather the series ended with the winner and that is that - rather than BOTS trying to be hilarious.

If they made this into a proper spin off again like BBLB, then that would be amazing. Or better yet, just get a bit of sense and put Live From The House on after the main shows - gets more viewers anyway.

[reece(:]

I miss Big Mouth, not these stupid sketches and waste of airtime interviews every 2 minutes.

[Jarrod]

I want BBBM, or BBLB back - But BBBOTS will do... i guess :idc: But even if we did get BBLB/BBBM it would be Channel 5's cheap, camp imitation.

Big Mouth was the worst for sketches. Just awful by the time Davina took over http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/2095c354.gif

Apart from the occasional terrible guest/audience bots is great.

[Patrick]

Big Mouth was an absolute joke after BB9 once Davina took over. BBBM was worse than Bit on the Side tbh.
The constant sketches were unbelievable.

If I had my way, we would have an hour of live feed every single night instead of Bit On The Side - THEN, on the Finale we could have a Bit On The Side type show. Filmed in the house, the way BBLB use to do their reunion show.

[Ramsay]

They will never listen to us though, they have their own version and in their mind it will never change

[Amy Jade]

I just hate how they have the same tired formula.

They should have more phone calls so real people can have their say. I've rang up three times and not been able to speak yet they always make time for the pointless people rining up lusting after Jamie or whatever they think is funny.

[DigitalSid]

BBBM, getting the opinions of the viewers? able to be taken seriously? ROFL :D. You were watching a different show, maybe the first series (EForum) but it was far worse than BOTS for complete irrelevance, as funny as it was.

[Patricia4]

Ive not watched it I think its just crap and I cant stand Emma flicking her back all the time.

[DigitalSid]

It' hilarious how much gorgeous Emma, flicking back her gorgeous hair occasionally gets to the show's female viewers, you'd think she was flicking her bean the amount it get's mentioned, I've never even noticed her doing it.

[joeysteele]

I have to admit, I enjoy the finals night show but through all the BB series now I rarely watch it all, just record it and flick through,stopping at bits I think may be interesting.

I agree in the main with Patrick on this really, I would rather see live feed instead of bbbots now or possibly even another hours highlights.

[Jack_]

I wish you loved BOTS as much as me Patrick, it's the best spin-off show since BBLB with Dermot for me :(

Only with Emma though, I :love: her so much. I find it really funny, it's just deliberately riddled with sh*t jokes and sexual innuendos, and is overly camp for the sake of it, I just find the whole thing refreshing and I don't know, it's hard to explain it but like...a nice watch. It is a trash TV show but that's what makes it endearing, in a weird way. I love the welcome back links, some of the sketches with Jamie, Emma's interviews, the Post Room, most of the guests are actually pretty good, and especially their annual sing-along to end the series :love:

I just love it. [/superfan]

[Alf]

Watching bit on the side really makes me appreciate the tweeting bird sounds off live feed.

Agree with this, actually sometimes look forward to BOTS more than the main show

[Mokka]

Me too!!!

And I thought tonights show was grand. Just a little to short for my liking

[King Gizzard]

i miss george lamb

[Shaun]

bring back zezi

[wendywillow]

i love bots (great cast) but they should ditch the singer, takes up too much time and just a drag (no pun intended) and rotate the audience once in a while, literally the same faces every show

[Cherie]

I think BOTS has improved, not too many bad sketches, the phone room could be better though, the questions are sometimes not even BB related:conf: postroom was a bit of a waste of time as well, as Jamie and Emma swerved awkward questions. They can relegate Jeff back to just singing as well, asking him questions about the HMs is pretty pointless imo.

[MachoPoodle]

First time I saw BOTS I thought it was the most horrible show I'd ever watched.:hugesmile: Now I absolutely love it, and like others have said, look forward to that more than the main show. It has improved too, and I'm glad they got rid of the Sunday quiz show formula, because that was dreadful and ruined weekend BOTS for me. Not too fond of the post room though, feels useless and scripted (probably isn't, but it gives that impression).

Only thing I really can't stand, is that ex-gladiator going on and on about... ...whatever it is supposed to be about, I don't even know anymore. I don't have anything against her personally, but the stupid ****e she comes up with bugs me. The other "experts" are quite good though, imo.

[Munchkins]

It's bottom of the barrel TV
i mean once they brought on an asparagus fortune teller.. say's it all really :l

It was to take the piss out of those sorts of things, she was on last year too, both times Alice laughed and mocked throughout, it wasn't to be taken seriously.

If they axed BBBOTS, they wouldn't replace it with nightly live feed, and not axing BBBOTS doesn't mean they do nightly live feed.

[Roy Mars III]

i miss george lamb

he is the only who could save it

I know it wasn't meant to be serious, but it wasn't funny in the slightest?

[flamingGalah!]

I love BOTS & Emma is great :D

It is meant to be cheap, trashy TV, that's half the appeal to me...

[Me. I Am Salman]

I don't think the actual show is bad it's just this year the bias has pissed the hell out of me

[Munchkins]

Plus these fortune tellers are just pawns, being told to say certain things to reinforce the biased view of the presenters etc :/

[armand.kay]

I just miss watching bblb in the evening in the evening :(

[*mazedsalv**]

IMO BOTS has improved. Also I really enjoyed last night and the end. Feel-good.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I have say I thought BBOTS was awful lastnight, I just felt there were to many segments to the show, I felt really sorry for Emma, she seem to be flapping a bit, I really like her as presenter too, I felt really sorry for her lastnight.

[Robertocarlo]

I'm sick to death of seeing the same faces in the audience so please, please get some new faces for the next BB.

I particularly detest that know it all Paul with his stupid glasses and big teeth. I loath looking at him sitting there all self important as if it's his show. Get rid of him PLEASE!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Not going to happen especially when some nights it gets over 1 million viewers and when on 5* literally quadruples their usual ratings.

It seems to have a large following.

[Marcus.]

Love BBBOTS

I tweeted him yesterday telling him to get a job and not sit on the show with his perverted hands flaring about. He messaged back saying "thank you".

Arse.

[Patrick]

Sorry but the fat bull-dog face cretin 'Gracie' needs to sort herself out, she's the worst of them all.

As if Live Streaming wouldn't do that. Live From The House back in CBB9 was 5*'s biggest ratings winner IIRC.

Pat there is No Funding.

So I am happy to have a Late night Swearing show
as opposed to nothing at all

[Lwize]

I love BBBOTS. It doesn't take it self seriously, and is a lot of campy fun.
It also delivers eye candy in the form of Emma, Alice and (Natalie) Jennings.
