Who are these people on BOTS?

[coffee]

I always see the same people in the audience, why are they always there? Are they paid?

[LukeB]

because they got tickets to be in the audience

Everyday though?

[Daffodil]

I think they must be channel 5 staff getting first dibs on tickets.

I think they apply like housemates do but to be a BOTS audience member and then you get a letter telling you whether you've made the audience regulars or not

[Crimson Dynamo]

I love bots

I wish it was on at 9 as often I am way to pissed to stay up

[Jamesy]

I think they're just regulars who like being in the audience, probably local BB fans.

I heard there letting the homless in for a hour of heat :D

Wonder that too :shocked:

[reece(:]

They probably all live in the council estate round the corner from the studios.

[MojoNixon]

Producers little pets, maybe few of em are even here on TIBB too.

And you can see families there too, so i guess those are invited by the BB staff (relatives, friends families and so on). They will keep it safe, same faces, different families. I don't like that.

But do BB put them up over night in hotels as it is nearly always the same crowd?

Probably so.

[TheElusiveChanteuse]

I assume just local fans. Some have been there since channel 4 days when it was Big Mouth.

Are you working for Channel 5? How much you pay for em?

[muchadoaboutnothing]

I still don't get the BBOTS audience. Do they actually stay in hotels (paid for by producers)?

Nope they live around the area, hence why they are always there. I went to a BB eviction during BB13 and a couple of BOTS regulars were behind me. Some woman with a clipboard was asking us all whether we wanted to be on BOTS (as we were towards the front), we said No, people in front agreed to and the regulars have around 5 reserved or allocated, then they just look for another 10-15 others in the crowd for BOTS on eviction night.
