Thoughts?

"What?!"

[Kazanne]

I heard she wasn't going back something to do with Trish

[bots]

She was dumped from bit on the side on C5


My feeling is that AJ has grown into the current role, and I really like her.

I'm not bothered that she showed surprise at Trish's eviction. It shows there was no fix

[GoldHeart]

If they get rid of AJ then it will speak volumes if they still keep Will , how is that fair ? . If they want to change presenters then that's another thing. But to keep Will but get rid of AJ is BS :suspect: :bored: .

Either you keep them both or get rid of them both ,as they've both been doing this series.

…is this not regarding a previous sacking from the BB spin off at the time…/10 years ago…?

[Ammi]

…oh phew…this isn’t now, then…

what thoughts are we meant to have about a sacking from BB 10 years ago, she was pretty awful at the time

[Cherie]

It took 4 people, a box of talc and serious ambition to get into her launch night cat suit....lol

[MTVN]

Good read, thanks. I wondered why she'd disappeared from TV for so long after BOTS but that explains it. She's done really well to bounce back

[Cherie]

I think as a presenter she has to be neutral that said Emma showed her bias from time to time, Rylan probably was the best at remaining neutral

Rylan clearly had favourites come on ,he wanted Tomasz to win

[GlitterUK]

Rylan was the best, he gave everyone an equal chance and had the best rapport with the crowd/audiences on the late shows.

[bots]

Rylan was awful. The show was always about him. I stopped watching it

[Maru]

I prefer the new show. Also I think AJ is coming back to talk to evictees.

[GlitterUK]

Yeah I think she needed time after the Trish truth, probably hurt by it all.

[GoldHeart]

Rylan was awful. The show was always about him. I stopped watching it

They'd be times he acted professional , but other times he was annoying . I know there was pressure on him & Emma to react to the Roxanne drama , and in the end they both did give their opinion on it. But both Rylan and Emma more or less showed their feelings anyway on different hm's .

She's no Bruce Forsyth.

TV presenters used to have talent. They could sing, they could dance, they had humour, they could control the audience, they could improvise, they had their own opinions, they could tell an anicdote. It's a lost art now.

I'm not singling out AJ. They're all robots now.

I wouldn’t agree with that. Someone keeps or loses their job based on their own individual performance, not on someone else who is doing the same job.

She can shout and look like a div.

Has she been booted? That would be great as I could start watching the after show again?

Its simple
when Will does the Show
it is far better that AJ.


He is Not Uptight.


Stress is shown in her face.

[arista]

No
she is talking about
her Ch5 days.


Last night was a Top Show
but it was not her presenting
it was more relaxed Will.


AJ is tonight 2nd show

[arista]

Rylan was awful. The show was always about him. I stopped watching it



Yes So Great,
he has Gone
from these new productions

This is why Black Lives Matter was such an important movement. We wouldnt have AJ back on our screens if it wasn’t for our strength to demand change.
