I have detested Rylans turning BOTS into the Rylan show.

There was a time, he would turn every subject into comments about him, his teeth, winning the show, his singing, dancing, rapping. The cringeworthy judge, the final cut was so bad and still is.

But he does a good job with the panel, audience and guests. Let's face it, he could only have got better as he couldn't have got any worse, that would be impossible.

He's a very good presenter and interviewer now, much better than he used to be, imo, and likeable too. I think he's going to go far in his career.

I admit he is better than what he used to be.

However, he tries to turn it into the "Rylan Show" rather than about the series of BB/CBB. I am more likely to watch it straight after BB rather than wait an hour after CBB to watch it tbh though.

He's fine in doses but it's just constant innuendo. Shouting over audience members every time they say something that could even vaguely be considered sexual.

I feel a headache coming on watching him and he's honestly worse than Brian Dowling. Should only ever be a guest segment presenter, never be given his own show. Just look at Babushka.

I agree with you here, and think he is great at interviews. He seems to put the housemates at ease and gets far more out of them than Emma does. His interview style is good and, although some of the Bots content could be better, I always watch it.

Yes, I think the criticism about him turning it into the Rylan show is a bit unfair as it is the producers who decide on the content of the show and Rylan is obliged to present that content.

It is his constant turning everything about him, which is my point, not the actual content.

I love Rylan. I remember his first BOTS, he was very nervous and hesitant, and I thought at the time he might face the chop soon. By show 3 he had made it his own.

I think the ongoing dislike of Rylan from certain quarters stems from their desire to be cutting edge and a wish to demonstrate that they are more clever than the rest of us. Other extremely successful multi-talented show hosts like Bruce Forsyth were never seen as cool by such people.

Bring back Dermy I say ... Rylan is awful (hate it when he sings /raps too) ugh that is why I usually avoid BOTS as I just can't stand him

I cannot understand the reasoning here, we are talking about BOTS not the South Bank Show.

To me Rylan has his positives but spoils by his head growing bigger by every programme he does.

His dancing down the stairs is dire, his rapping also, his cringeworthy "other whatever's are available" he constantly called BOTS his show from the moment he took over from Emma, who never said that it was her show. His sycophantic introductions of Emma.

He should realise he is only the presenter of the show. He is good with the audience, guests and quick witted replies and if he could curb his ego, he would be so much better.

Apart from BOTS which I want to know about CBB, I don't watch him anymore because he is his own biggest fan.

[bots]

i could just about suffer Rylan when he shared the show with Emma. I know it wasn't exactly intellectually stimulating then, but its hit an all new dumbed down level. It's got to the point I just cannot watch him on my TV.
