Should we "evict" the so-called psychologists from BB?

[CaudleHalbard]

I'm finding them increasingly annoying.

The likes of Judi James, Pam Spurr, Diane Youdale, Dr Funke and the rest. (And the ridiculous Dr Dance!)

They seem to either spout psychobabble, based purely on their personal preferences for housemates.... or they state the bleedin' obvious!

Would BOTS be better off without them? And they could get rid of BOTP altogether.

[joeysteele]

Yes, I never listen to their nonsense now anyway and there are far too many of them too now taking up too much time on the programmes with their tripe.

[Raph]

I like Judi James but I totally agree about the rest, they don't really bring anything worthwhile to the show

[Livia]

Yeah, get rid of them. People are too unpredictable for it to be anything more than guesswork and stating the obvious.

[Mick]

I agree in fact I feel the whole program format needs a revamp. I do not stay up to watch it live now and that's not been the case in the past.

[Niamh.]

Yeah, get rid of them. People are too unpredictable for it to be anything more than guesswork and stating the obvious.

And lets be honest any half credible psychologist isn't going to go near that show with a barge pole anyway

[Livia]

So true...

[bots]

i think the whole show needs a revamp as its been on the "slide" for a while.

Make it more like a question time thing with a constantly changing representative audience asking questions of a panel that know what they are talking about

[andybigbro]

I think psychology is a very important factor when it comes to a reality show like big brother.


However some of these psychologists are terrible.

[MrWong]

And lets be honest any half credible psychologist isn't going to go near that show with a barge pole anyway

I remember a psychologist, a young irish guy, back in the glory days of BB, went rogue and outed the production team after BB 5. Accusing them of all sorts including making him tow the party line.

That's all these psychologists are, shills for Big Brother.

I'm not even a tiny bit shocked by that :laugh:

I like the dancing doctor chap - at least he's funny even if he talks rubbish!!

Get rid of Dr. Judy James because she's biased and snide, and get rid of "Dr.Dance" because his "insight" is pointless and a joke.The rest I can handle (especially Diane Youdale-I used to fancy her like crazy when she was "Jet" in The Gladiators).

They should keep Judi and Diane and get rid of the rest

I love bbotp - the best part of the week, it gives important insights, but there are too many now. Judi and Diane are the best Judi for body language and Diane for psychotherapy. - they don't need two on a Saturday. It all gets too muddled up.

Loiusa - now there is a waste of space

More diary room uncut -
More house mates uncut-

[Marsh.]

"They don't match my opinions so get rid of them they're rubbish! I can't stand people who don't agree with me on BOTS!"

You get it with the panellists too when they get personal attacks for having their own opinion. :umm2:

:joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

All they need do is open a door and Judi James would blow away

[JayBlaze]

Bring back Steven Goode to analyse the housemates

[karezza]

The psychologists' manipulation never works - it always rebounds on them.

[Niamh.]

Bring back Steven Goode to analyse the housemates

:omg:

[BigSister]

I agree over Judi James whenever shes on BOTS I don't watch it she just annoys me. And that Dr dance I never saw him before and I was like what is he doing...........
Dr Pam is ok she talks some good things I quite like her and maybe get another male serious one to back her up on another night.

:joker:

Exactly,lol they have probably been complimenting Helen,and we cant have that can we?:joker:

[MrWong]

I remember all the paid shills constantly saying that Aaron was playing a game and that Faye was part of said game plan.

He must be really committed to his game plan as he's still with her. :hehe:

[Marsh.]

Yes because them still being together means he wasn't playing a game and Faye was never a part of it. :crazy:

[elliebrew]

i remember in the last days of channel4, big mouth and BBLB.

EVERYONE SCREAMED for the return of the psychologists!

make your bleeding mind up

[MrWong]

Yes because them still being together means he wasn't playing a game and Faye was never a part of it. :crazy:

It means his feelings were genuine and the paid shills were talking ****e. :smug:

[sungrass]

Thats funny, I heard Aarons relationship broke up less than 6 weeks after the show - (after a few mag deals) he now runs a restaurant and is single. Jay and Louise - lasted two years....

Then you heard wrong.

[LukeB]

judy james does my nut in

[sungrass]

Yeah no, sorry I was wrong it appears they are still together - looks like the shrinks did get it wrong. I like still like that side of the show though, it adds something extra - I just wish they didnt have so many different shrinks, and just had two main ones!

bit on the psyche is great - but with four people on the panel (six including Ian and Ryan) it just becomes a mess - Dr Funke is alright but Ian Lee can not seem to get over her name which is getting tiresome. Yes it was funny the first few times now its just annoying!

they dont need Loiusa there - she could do something else maybe?

[jet]

judy james does my nut in

Tell me about it! She's useless.

[reece(:]

I really like Diane but don't care for the others.

[arista]

Yes, I never listen to their nonsense now anyway and there are far too many of them too now taking up too much time on the programmes with their tripe.


You are Wrong they are Fun

[Robodog]

I have a love/hate thing with the psychs

The overbaked feminist stance from Rachel and Kate is silly and annoying at times

I don't always agree with Pam and Judi

But overall - having the analysis is essential to the show

There were times in the past on BOTS and Big Mouth when there was very little psycho analysis and i missed it greatly

I say love em or hate em - keep the psychs !

[CaudleHalbard]

The trouble is that BOTS and BOTP are incredibly lightweight shows.

Serious analysis would jar.

So they get lightweight psycholgists to tell us what they think we want to hear. It is much more interesting when it can be shown that a person's words tell one story but their action/body language tells another.

The trouble with the likes of Judi James is that personal preferences take precedence over a professional approach, no doubt at the behest of the producers. Such as JJ opining that Helen is "A horrible person".

JJ is not necessarily wrong but I thought that it demonstrated complete lack of professional objectivity.

[Daffodil]

All Diane Youdale does is flick her hair first one way, then the other.

[Achilles]

I don't like them. Even on rare occasion I agree with what they said I still don't like them.

They always say "housemate A does this because of this" and never say "housemate A could be doing this because of this or that".

Wash your mouth out with soap! :laugh:

Would BOTS be better off without them? And they could get rid of BOTP altogether.

Yes. Bitter 50 or over, no so attractive women are telling about housemates "he did wrong, she did right....she was bad, he was entertaining...". They should be kicked out from BOTS. Just bitter talkin from elder ladies who has lost it all. Don't wanna say that they are too old. But feeling like they all come out from the same tree. Where are male Doctors? Would love to see some over 50 year old guy to said, preferred as i doctor, "Oh poor Pav, he ain't nothing but a cheating piece of ****". But no, wall we can see is comments like "Oh Ash was quite great today...Pav is misunderstood....Chris was weird...". No thanks for em ladies.

[jet]

I like the dancing doctor chap - at least he's funny even if he talks rubbish!!

Me too - but he definitely talks crap! It's fun watching him and Emma make some moves. :laugh:
