That was terrible

[Epic.]

A final EVER tribute of the show and here's what it had

-Eamonn and Ruth
-Bobby Norris
-Gos, Nikki, Luisa and Kerry being the only four ex housemates who show up
-Way too long spent on the BOTS tribute
-A nearly 10 minute Luke Kempner performance
-A ****ty lip sync to Take That as the final farewell, half of which was done by people who were never housemates
-1 hour and 15 minutes to fit in BB19, a BOTS tribute, and random ****e

Here's what it had none of that it should have
-A longer length for better pacing
-Tribute or clips to ANY of the past 19 series
-Much, much more ex-housemates booked in
-A proper send off to the show

It was so tragic, I'm less upset about Big Brother ending and more upset with how it was done

[reece(:]

I'd have moreso enjoyed an hour 15 of Jamie's phone room highlights.

[rusticgal]

Yes...more tributes. Iconic Clips from past shows...we could have replaced Tomasz/impersonations/and last bit with past memories...shame really.

[smudgie]

Best bit was seeing Davina.

[Ant.]

The fact the Luke Kempner section only included BB17 and BB19, alongside Nicola McLean, Specific, Rylan, and ****ing Bear is AWFUL

They couldn't even cover all C5 series let alone Channel 4

[Jigs]

The Take That lipsync was baffling...

I hope somewhat of a "Big Brother's legacy" documentary follows soon. It will give the show a proper send-off; one that doesn't just revolve around its hosts~

[Ant.]

(wait, he did Nikki Grahame but that wasn't even anywhere near accurate. Also did Kim woodburn which was good)

[Dinah]

BOTS was the usual rubbish. Little time for the hms but lots of time for Rylan.
His "me, Marcus and Emma " comment re BB coming back sent shivers down my spine even though I've had a wee bit to drink. I was hoping we'd finally got rid of him.:fist:

He didn't do Imran? Shook.

[Daniel-X]

It was terrible

No :( his Imran is so good

[Niamh.]

Yeah agree.

May as well have called BOTS, Farewell Rylan :rolleyes: He was in more than 3/4s of that lip sync crap aswell

[Cal.]

I did scream that Nikki, Gos, Luisa Zissman and Kerry Katona were the only ex housemates they invited along.

Channel 5 managed to fall out with loads of ex HMs

[GoldHeart]

Terrible ending to a terrible production :joker:.

Why bother having the ex housemates if they all got ignored , and some only got 30 seconds :rolleyes: . It was the stupid Rylan show as per usual .

And i would of liked more classic BB clips and a full panel of memorable past housemates to talk and give their thoughts. Instead of just Nikki Graham i swear she's the TOKEN they always use and it's lazy .

Luke Hempner didn't even impersonate all the housemates from this series , he cherry picked random housemate voices .

[BBDodge]

With hundreds of ex-housemates to choose from they chose Gos?

[y.winter]

Davina saved it from truly being a disaster.

Rylan loves to say that he's impartial, but oh my days what a self-indulgence fest it was. Rylan this, Rylan that. Unprofessional.

[Cherie]

I haven't watched it, but of course Eamonn and Ruth were there, Rylan has to hold them tight so he doesn't lose his GM gig

[Niamh.]

Drives me crazy, I almost turned it off so many times, only stuck it out because it was the last one. Practically the whole show was revolving around Rylan, it's so selfish of him actually towards people who loved the show and were sad to see it go and wanted some nostalgia, I mean does he genuinely believe we all wanted to watch him?

i literally lasted 1 minute before switching it off .... it was obvious what kind of show it was going to be :laugh:

I was actually forcing myself to keep watching in the hope they'd have something decent but no, Rylan in a well, Rylan in the Diary room (last person to be there of course), Rylan as Tomasz, Rylan winning the game show blah blah blah

[Vicky.]

Gos is pretty much universally recognised as one of the most boring ever..why him. Also they did a BOTs not long ago that seemed to have a ****load of housemates, what went wrong here? :suspect:

No decent HM wanting to be associated with Rylans love fest?

I agree Epic it revolved around Emma and Rylan, I like Luke, he would make a good presenter but what about the HMs they were the stars of the show. Disgusting. I noticed one of the witches in the pub cant even remember who she is. The other two, well they have had their day but they still keep on appearing.

No if we get another series, lets have a totally new format, one without someone who just loves himself. It didnt go out with a bang it just fizzled out. The only things I liked were Cameron winning and Emma's dress.

[y.winter]

I was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and all we got was Davina's selfie on a smartphone.
I just can't...
People work on TV to produce this garbage? Even I could have done better than that.
The more I think about it, the more I'm angry about it.

[Cherie]

I'm going to have to force myself to watch it just to see how awful it was...shame on him, calls himself a fan

[GoldHeart]

Yeah. I was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and all we got was Davina's selfie on a smartphone.

Also hasn't anyone noticed how crap the panel guests were on BOTS this year ??? . It's obvious they don't watch the show .

I think only some are true BB fans and others just support who they think is popular ,while forgetting other housemates names as they keep looking at the pictures :facepalm: .

[Niamh.]

Yeah same, it's kind of sunk in a bit more now that it's over and I'm so annoyed Rylan was such a self absorbed selfish prick dealing with the last BOTS, he claims to be a fan of the show himself but he's a liar, if he was he wouldn't have made the whole thing about him

[jaxie]

It was nice to see Davina, would have liked to see Dermot as well.

[Cherie]

It was nice to see Davina, would have liked to see Dermot as well.

He probably wasn't asked as Rylan couldn't bear the comparison

[Niamh.]

He probably wasn't asked as Rylan couldn't bear the comparison

I wouldn't even be surprised if that was true

[Greg!]

The main show was actually ok given how little time they had. BOTS was AWFUL and embarrassing and all about Rylan

[GoldHeart]

It was nice to see Davina, would have liked to see Dermot as well.

Exactly! They didnt even bother Dermot & George :fist:

[Jack_]

He probably wasn't asked as Rylan couldn't bear the comparison

In fairness the other day he said he does three things on every show that are nods to former hosts (I didn't even notice), and one is Dermot's spin

I have to agree I thought it was a TERRIBLE end show. The lip synch thing was a huge waste of time and I cannot STAND EAMONN HOLMES They should have had more ex housemates in the identity parade thing etc. The guests were the bottom of the barrel Katona and Zissman yeuch

[Nicky91]

Kerry Katona, from fab to crap :fan:


i see her quite a lot on the telly, bit too much while i had liked her on atomic kitten :shrug:

[Robodog]

Yeah agree.

May as well have called BOTS, Farewell Rylan :rolleyes: He was in more than 3/4s of that lip sync crap aswell

The WHOLE SHOW was one big circle-jerk about Rylan

It wasn't Big Brother's farewell - it was RYLAN's FAREWELL


No one hardly spoke to the HMs, or even to the faithful BOTS audience: it was all about RYLAN

And yeah - that lip sync song :facepalm:

[Jannigran]

Very accurate post Epic...couldn’t agree more.Jules the witch you saw was Lizzie Cundy she was absolutely dreadful when she was on Bots but she’s popping up everywhere just now.

[Ant.]

Talking of Rylan loving himself, his 300th BOTS had more love for Big Brother than last night's BOTS did (perhaps I'm just saying that because there were numerous actually good housemates showing up, besides Nikki and, randomly, Kerry, Luissa, and Gos :unsure:)

in the little i watched of it, I saw those 4 in what looked like a decorated cupboard, which was pretty bizarre

:laugh: it was supposed to be a "bar", they usually do it at the end of each series. It's DREADFUL :laugh:

But it was a tad bizarre to have those 4 plus Eamonn and Ruth :laugh2:

Thats right, my memory is dreadful, what was she in? Even if I had known her I conveniently forgot lol....She was viscious, the worse BOTS ever, barring the final. The other two werent all that popular in their series neither, one was always drunk, couldnt wait for her to leave, that was Carol and the other one was mouthy, once again couldnt wait for her to leave....I guess they just forgot what the public thought of them. Makes me wonder if it was all staged..tbh..

[puzzled]

It was terrible, and in some parts, boring.

[Cal.]

Channel 5 managed to fall out with loads of ex HMs

Them bloody barring Helen and Aisleyne for doing what they were paid to come on the show and do

[Niamh.]

[Cherie]

Rylan even managed to shoehorn in the part of the garden he met his husband :umm2:

[Cherie]

The one good thing about BOTs has been the BOTs bits,

Game of Moans was genius :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Rylan even managed to shoehorn in the part of the garden he met his husband :umm2:It makes me sad he was the last one we ever saw in the Diary room aswell

[Cherie]

It makes me sad he was the last one we ever saw in the Diary room aswell

I know :skull: and Nicki...given she was sat in there a few days ago, just get out, sick of looking at her

[GoldHeart]

I know :skull: and Nicki...given she was sat in there a few days ago, just get out, sick of looking at her

Nikki never left , she lives at Elstree :joker:

[Cal.]

I wish it had been Nikki as the final person in the chair

[Matthew.]

why i want to know is, out of all the songs Zoe could have got for her best bits, they chose Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce :skull:

[Cherie]

Finally got to the end of it, anyone would think Rylan had died and it was a tribute programme :idc:

so he said at the end, Me, Emma and Marcus will make sure BB will get back to you? or did I mishear

[montblanc]

i’m so glad i didn’t watch BOTS it sounds horrendous :skull:

[Dinah]

No you didn't, it was wtte. I hoped we were rid of Rylan, but now I'm not so sure.

[Maxxie.]

The main show was good considering the time slot tbf, which BB had no control about. I like how they kinda shaded c5 in the montage which was good, 90% showing c4 moments then having a 10 second flash of the c5 era altogether

BOTS was an effing shambles though and I hope it never returns

[Ant.]

why i want to know is, out of all the songs Zoe could have got for her best bits, they chose Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce :skull:

they mostly got it right in the past: Love Today with Kat, Ghetto Superstar with Aisleyne... heck even Katie Hopkins walking out to "Hard Out Here (for a Bitch)" was comedic and fitting (although Gail Porter walking out to a song about hair blowing in the wind or whatever was only comedic and not fitting) but thye managed to bugger up with the song choice there, didn't they

i’m so glad i didn’t watch BOTS it sounds horrendous :skull:

it wasn't even the level of mess that was 2014-2017 BB. The kind of production mess you can't help but laugh at (BB playing crowd cheers over Natalie vs the Other House in broad daylight hoping the main house wouldn't hear <3). Nah instead it was just embarrassing.
I mean MAYBE on any other day I could appreciate Vanessa Feltz miming into a fake candle while Emma, Rylan, DAVINA (:love:), like, 2 Big Brother stars (Chanelle and... who else lmao) and other randomers that have weak ties to Big Brother miming a Take That song but it was a ****ing state tonight. It was a ****ty send-off to BB19 - NOT the franchise itself. HORRENDOUS
