Default Happy AJ and Will are hosting again?

Not 100% confirmed yet, but we’ll assume at this stage now they will still be. Happy with that?

For me personally I like them a lot. I do sometimes find AJ a bit shouty on Late and Live, but I love her enthusiasm and think she’ll find her feet a bit more this time around.

…yeah what you said, really…I do like them…(…although less so for the actual housemate interviews because I feel as though they just skim over on fast forward at times…)…and I do see that AJ can be a bit ‘shouty’ but I love her enthusiasm…she just constantly gives that vibe of …’look at me mom, I’m on t’telly…’….and her outfits…wow, those in themselves are an after show…she always looks incredible…

Yes I like them. Will, I like him a little bit more. But both are great.

I dont dislike them. I just think Davina and Emma both were a lot better, and I think there are better presenters out there. I think they deserve to do another series as well as another celebrity series and then maybe it's time for a new host

They needed to upgrade AJ

Nice enough but completely inept and irritating

They both have their strengths but I don't think they work together, it's awkward moments on the live shows like talking over each other or not knowing where to stand that just make me cringe. Will sometimes is very robotic and relies heavily on the autocue whereas AJ can be very full on, but I don't mind that compared to Davinas nuttiness. Bring in someone new (NOT Rylan) for the main show and let them both host BBLL

I don't think co-presenters work on the main show. And I don't think either of them have the right combination of charisma and professionalism needed to host it by themselves. Will is a safe pair of hands but also very empty-seeming and with nothing behind the eyes. Polished to the point of not feeling genuine. Some people might like that, and admittedly I myself like that in certain arenas of television, but not BB. And AJ, though likeable, is just a bit of a trainwreck as far as her presenting skills. I also inherently despise the fact that they've been trying to make her mispronunciation of 'swear' into a thing.

Just her whole eviction speech drives me mad. Why drag it out for so long? Why not let Will do it every other week? Why say "it's AJ and Will" and not "This is AJ and Will". Mad, I tell you, mad!

i started off really not being impressed by AJ on her first stint years ago. Now, i've totally changed my opinion and really like her in the role

The place where they both fall down is when they interview hm's on exit, but i think that is more the producers that are at fault for only allowing soft ball questions

Yeah that isn't their faults, you can't ask anyone anything these days

…yeah I really like her, also…with the ‘soft ball’ questions …?…I do recall that being a huge criticism also of Emma, in comparison to Davina…and I think that new presenters have to find their own feet with that one and the interviews will become less soft ball as both of them settle and make it all more ‘their own’…they’ve only had one season of civilian and celebrity but I’m hoping for these next seasons, they’ll have grown a lot more in confidence …

I love AJ but she's from.blackburn which is next door to where I love so I'm slightly based. I think Will is good too but I don't know if we need 2 presenters. If I was to get rid of 1 it would be AJ but I'm happy to keep both for another year.

The main show does not need dual hosts and it does not work. I like them both, but not as the faces of BB. They should be split up - one hosts the main show and the other hosts the spin-off.

It doesn't need to be poor though. The right creatives could make it very entertaining like it used to be, though it will probably never be as fresh and popular. I'd love to know who exactly is sitting down and coming up with the ideas, such as BBs voice. Who the hell green lit that?!

I don't think they're good, but I don't think they're bad, they just ... are.

They're no Davina or Emma. They're a Brian.

They certainly aren't on Brian's level. Although they aren't better than Davina or Emma. They both are two different extremities, whilst AJ can sometimes be camp, loud and energetic, Will very much relies on the autocue and sometimes can feel overprofessional. Put them both on Late and Live and bring in Maya Jama. Love Island doesn't need a host, they can just use texts.

I have come to much prefer Late and Live when Will hosts it.

A J doesn't keep it going and once she starts talking fast, I miss sentences not just words of what she says.

However they do sort of work well together.

Yeah i still don’t love them as hosts. It just feels weird having 2 hosts, feels really unnecessary to me. Their jokes and banter are cringe af, AJ always treating the live shows as a catwalk is also annoying.. i would demote them to just L&L and pay whatever it would take to get Emma back or bring on Rylan.. Davina coming back is a pipe dream at this point

I think that AJ is a unique part of BB now. She would be really missed if she were to go. Will is more bland and forgettable
