AJ Odudu absolutely terrible.

[Sun Tzu.]

Mumbling her lines, at one point wasn't even paying attention until she realised 2 seconds later that the camera was on her. Disaster debut.

[Stankleberry]

Are you sure that's just not her accent? I am American, I assumed she was just from some town that talks like that.

[ThisIsNickkk]

She's got a strong northern accent, I didn't really hear her mumbling any of her words, although she did forget about the camera.

They did alright though, a few teething problems but they will work it out.... hey, Brian was there two years and left as bad as he started - there's hope for them yet.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Funny how everyone was praising AJ and hating Rylan before the show started now everyones hating AJ and praising Rylan.

Noone can understand a ****ing word shes saying lol.

[Tregard]

It wasn't good.

[Kizzy]

Her accent is far too broad, total farce... What were they thinking?

[Macie Lightfoot]

As awful as she was she DID take the time to make a "lol Caroline's fat" joke so she does have some potential.

[Patrick]

Zezie 2.0

[Locke.]

She is quite fit though so it doesn't matter

[Marsh.]

They should have given the show to Alice, she was much more competent.

[Glenn.]

I like her. Don't understand the hate she's getting tbh

[ThisIsNickkk]

I don't mind the accent, I live up norf so it's not new to me haha. I like her.

[Monkey Slut]

They should have given the show to Alice, she was much more competent.

I agree, Alice should've gotten it. AJ constantly sounds like she's losing her voice.

[GiRTh]

They should have given the show to Alice, she was much more competent.Alice is on Radio one doing bigger and better things.

Theres room for improvement for sure. She was not that bad by the end but the beginning was shocking.

[Sun Tzu.]

She needs to really improve or it will be zezei 2.0.

[Maneki-neko]

I like both of them actually. I love having 2 bit on the side hosts a lot more than just one. Its a good dynamic.

[Kizzy]

It's far too confusing, and being novices together it's too difficult for them to make it look as seamless as it should be.
Come back alice and Helen!
I hope they have ian and henry too, loved them :D

[Jack_]

She really wasn't that bad, for the first show they both did well

I'm glad they're doing double-headed links too, they have good rapport so it works

[linn]

i just think AJ is hamming it up, her voice is dreadful, its not her accent she sounds as though her mouth is full

[starry]

She's got a strong northern accent

Apparently (and let's be more precise) it's a Blackburn accent. I take it not many national presenters are from Blackburn because she really is hard to understand.

[Maneki-neko]

I don't get the accent stuff. I was more distracted by the fact that Josie's had so much surgery that she looks like a llama.

[starry]

I don't mind the accent, I live up norf so it's not new to me haha. I like her.

There's many different Northern accents, most don't sound like her.

[Sun Tzu.]

It's not the accent, it's the bad presenting and forgetting about the damn camera.

[jyunga]

Rylan is great. AJ is terrible. Her accent is far too thick to understand. Bad choice.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Close your eyes and I swear to god its Mel B.

"Now heres a story from A ta Z, You wanna get with me you better listen carefully" etc etc....

[Jords]

:joker:

Give her some time but it did feel like she was struggling a lot. I wasnt too keen.

Rylan's fanatastic.

[Scream]

She wasn't even bad. I actually feel pretty embarrassed that I watch the show though when Rylan tries to present. Alice all the way though.

[PrincessIona]

I don't get the accent stuff. I was more distracted by the fact that Josie's had so much surgery that she looks like a llama.

I read this and it finally clicked that's what she reminded me of! She looks terrible.

Ajs presenting was terrible, I could understand why she was saying but she was stumbling on her words and clearly not concentrating. I can't see myself watching bbots much this season

[Colbert-Bump]

Car Crash presenting which will be fun to watch.

[Me. I Am Salman]

:joker:

Rylan's dreadful D: I'm not just saying that. He really was

[Semtex]

I'm sure there was a press release saying that BOTS was going to be more up market.

That's gone well then.......

[Jordan.]

AJ getting all the abuse http://atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/cry.gif

She wasn't even bad.

[Videostar]

Rylan's teeth covers up her mistakes, he is taking the heat off of her.

But she is terrible....but not as terrible as Rylan's nashers.

[Sun Tzu.]

AJ getting all the abuse http://atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/cry.gif

She lost focus during the show and and has an annoying way about her, based on tonight anyway.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Rylan was terrible too tho

[Novo]

Rylan and Alice would have been a great Combo, don't think i can bare AJ for the whole series.. might have to give Bots a miss most days

[reece(:]

AJ's not that bad. Rylan was worse

[Nemo123]

Awful. Both of them. The calibre of the presenters makes the show.

[jyunga]

I never watched Rylan on CBB so i'm not biased. He did a fine job presenting. It's funny that most of the negative comments about his presenting are paired up with shallow insults about his teeth though.

AJ (no clue who she even is) likely presented while but her accent is so thick it's impossible for me to understand her. She in my mind makes her a bad presenter for the show, as she fails to deliver towards anyone that can't understand her.

[Lwize]

Does AJ have inflated lips? I can't understand a word she's saying!
It's definitely not English.

[g17m]

im from and live in the north and i struggled to understand what she said. i actually turned off at the first ad break, but i think that was cos bots was so embarassing, not the accent

[newtobbuk]

I was stunned by these presenters - jaw-droppingly awful. Zero charisma, fake cheery-attitude. Zero interest in what the topics at hand are - they clearly are just happy to be on television and Bit on The Side is just what happens to be serving their purpose. Whereas folks like Jaime East and Davina McCall were clearly engaging with what was actually happening.

And the guy - was he a former housemate or something? He doesn't look like a real person. I'm not convinced he's a real person. They claim a fake housemate, but I think this is just an elaborate prank - the guy looks like another Sacha Baron Cohen invention.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I thought she was awful ......tbh

[thesheriff443]

She is quite fit though so it doesn't matter

I like your thinking:xyxwave:
she will improve, bb has never been seemless!

[arista]

Her accent is far too broad, total farce... What were they thinking?


ticked the boxes

But lacking better testing

[Mac Hiavellian]

I thought Ryan was ******ing hilarious last night. His personality came across and it just added to his presenting. This is why Brian should have done BOTS 2 years ago because he would've had more of a laugh.

AJ was a bit rocky though. I'll put it down to first night nerves ATM but lets hope she actually remembers the camera from now on

[crazycolaist]

It everyone's first day on the job, remember what you all were like on ur first day of school
#nervous

this

[-Sue-]

AJ's voice grates on me..not presenter material at all! awful awful woman would have been better off giving her a job as a studio cleaner ;)

[Marc]

Mumbling her lines, at one point wasn't even paying attention until she realised 2 seconds later that the camera was on her. Disaster debut.

ZeZe is that you?

[smeagol]

i like Aj she's nice also hot which is extra lol but her speech problem along with rylans speech problem is just awful to watch.

[GiRTh]

Thers lots of room for improvement.

[joeysteele]

She is really poor in my view, good job she had Rylan there with her, he carried the show really.

[Marc]

Rylan is even worse. So fake and over the top

[Vicky.]

I was thinking Rylan was doing ok..then I realised that its probably just when compared to her. Shes bloody awful.

[Angie101]

AJ's voice grates on me..not presenter material at all! awful awful woman would have been better off giving her a job as a studio cleaner ;)
Totes agree! At first I thought she was drunk, but perhaps she has some kind of speech impediment...? Sounds as though she is slurring, or has something in her mouth. She comes across as very agressive too.
Rylan is really good - fully of life! Love him!

[Withano]

I think shes naturally witty though, unlike Rylan. They'd be foolish to get rid of her because of a few mumbles.

[wendywillow]

im late to the show this year but ...that was tough to watch....Rylan could do a good job down the road (I guess) but AJ is just not suited for the job, her voice is just too hard to take

[Ammi]

I think shes naturally witty though, unlike Rylan. They'd be foolish to get rid of her because of a few mumbles.

..yeah, I agree with this...

[Gusto Brunt]

It baffles me why most of today's TV presenters are seemingly dragged off the street and put in front of a camera.

Then they're expected to 'get better' in time.

Sorry I cannot wait.

[Johnnyuk123]

Q: Where was the tooth fairy?

[Samm]

I think they should have kept the old BBBOTS presenter's but emma main presenter and Alice and Jamie presenting BOTS

[joeysteele]

I haven't seen any improvement from her at all over the 3 nights. Unfortunately we are stuck with her until the end of this series anyway but from what I have seen so far of her, I hope that will be it.

[Fosse]

Her accent is pretty easy to understand - at least as easy as some Southern accents.

[ahopkins]

I think they should replace AJ with Ian Lee. He was great on Bit on the psych! And replace Rylan with Katherine Jakeways!

[Drew.]

shes not bad, but i have a feeling they'll replace her.. im not sure how much that would cost though

[M X]

I think she's actually doing well. She's likeable and will probably grow into the role over time.
