Marissa's BOTS bits were literally just a clip of her eating a pizza on slo-motion. What has this show come to

[QueenCharley]

BOTS for the last few years has been not that great but has anyone else noticed how much BOTS has declined this year?
They repeat panelists on a weekly basis, there's no variety to the show, the segments are boring and there's no incentive to watch because the exclusives are rubbish too.

I miss when they used to have more ex housemates, funny segments like Dish on the Side and more controversial segments talking to interesting people who actually watch the bloody show like Luisa Zissman.

I don't want to see Tom Read Wilson read out bland tweets, I don't want to see that reverend talk about the housemates yet again and I don't want to hear from the housemates friends and family every second day.

Every third show its a repeated panelist, there's no variety to the show, the segments are boring and there's no incentive to watch because the exclusives are rubbish too.

Yep, I think it's going downhill very fast. Audience stays the same every night as well. They were actually looking for audience members on Twitter late yesterday evening so they hadn't even got a full audience.

It's certainly declined since I've been watching it. 2014 BOTS was much better.

I remember BOTS being great viewing for the PowerTrip series... it hasn't been the same since.

It seems to have declined as the show has. The same way BBLB/BBBM did in the later C4 years.

2012 was peak BOTS, it never recovered when they tried to make it more 'upmarket'

The spunking dog, double entendres, Jamie's phone room, the end-of-series sing-along etc etc were all part of the charm of the show

I like having the same panellists on because it's good to see how they're opinions have changed or whatever.
They do need more ex housemates on it.
I find the segments enjoyable but don't really like some of the BOTS Bits.

It's too end of the pier drag queen music hall, it needs more discussion more clips and less shouting and oohs and aahs
