I don't know how AJ has made it as far as she has in the tv industry really, it's not just BB she's useless on, I saw her as a guest on the Wright Stuff a couple of weeks back and she kept stumbling over her words, talking rubbish, couldn't hold a conversation etc.

Rylan's adapted really well to the role I think actually, and seems much more suited to it, if Emma wasn't available I'm not surprised they went with him

Don't like to say it but could it be a touch of tokenism?

I agree about Rylan.

I agree about Rylan.
What kind of tokenism? There are plenty of female presenters. There are plenty of northern presenters (Tess Daley, Vernon Kaye, Ant and Dec etc)

She's the only black, northern female presenter. Ticks a lot of politically correct boxes.

Unfortunately they didn't have a competence box. Lol!

Non-white people are the fastest growing part of Britain, so it's not really tokenism but reality. Plus in more and more parts of UK black and or Asian people are now majority.
