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

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 .

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
