It feels more BBLB.

[Mokka]

Was going to skip it after last night, but I may check it out later

last night was abysmal

[Calderyon]

Maybe they decided to tweak the format for week nights to what we are seeing and keep the normal BBBOTS format for eviction nights.

[Mokka]

Who hosted??

[Sam:)]

Its so much better now, this is the first time I've not cringed at an episode of BOTS ever.

[Sam:)]

It was awful, totally unfunny (I await someone saying 'no changes then' but BOTS is usually fun) apart from Jimmy in the reality gallery and they've basically cut the best part of the show (the audience/panel debate) down and fleshed the show out with other items that were either decent already or aren't necessary.

The news desk start to the show reminded me of Dermot's BBLB days, but they need an audio bed because it sounded flat, the news on a spin-off show to a reality programme is supposed to be upbeat and almost tongue in cheek. There's no need to start the show with it either, take it back to the final part as it always was but have the whole part dedicated to it and have Emma/Rylan sign off from the desk.

Then bring the audience and panel debate back to the start of the show, these weird introductions to the celebs 'backstage' or on sofas or something are stupid and waste time. I want to hear them involved in a debate with the audience right away. Then the second part can be for experts/psychologist chats etc as it always was, third part back to a debate again and then the news and reality gallery in the fourth as I've already said.

It was flat, messy and if it carries on like this I'm going to be really annoyed and upset that they've ruined one of the best spin-off shows there has ever been. Three years ago I preferred and looked forward to BOTS more the main show, this will be a chore to watch every night if it stays this way.

I did however love Emma's 'is this better? is this what you came here for?' dig at how all of this is obviously a result of them pandering to 'viewer feedback'.
