#. Brian Dowling (BB2)
Sacrilege right?!?!?! Best HM ever wtf are you doing Macie?!?!?! Let me explain.
There's a part of me that likes Brian a lot. He was a gr8 fag hag to Narinder that it's hard to not appreciate someone running around the house and choreographing the most gay dances to Nasty and Jumpin' Jumpin' bc that's how I'd spend my time in a BB house tbh. Brian was fun and he was funny. Everyone knows that, it's BBUK 101.
HOWEVER /BBvoice, I don't think Brian is
as funny as legend dictates. He definitely lost his spark in the middle weeks once Narinder was evicted IMO. He kinda recovered towards the end but there was a huge gaping hole in Weeks 5-7 that I don't feel like ignoring because I didn't find Brian to be all that funny or even likable! Brian's main storyline was his relationship with fellow gay Josh and it really made me not like Brian for a lot of the time! I definitely get that being gay in 2001 is completely different from being gay in 2015 and that Brian was a young gay who just recently came out, but I just wasn't here for Brian when he'd do **** like give his bed to Josh bc it'd make things easier and then get drunk and attack Josh for kicking him out of his bed. I don't think The Only Gay In The Village is a good look on anyone, and the Brian/Josh storyline dragged on for a few weeks too long with no new development (kinda like Faye and Aaron which reminds me GET FAYE OUT!) It'd just cycle back and forth between them trying to patch things up and Brian berating Josh and being rly passive aggressive towards him. Luckily Brian was able to sandwich this with a gr8 opening bit and a pretty solid closing few weeks but he was kind of a terror in the middle!
And then Brian became The Ultimate Housemate slash hilariously awful host and then he got shadily fired and replaced with the much superior Emma Willis! It sounds kinda tragic but ultimately I didn't really care because it only positively affected my viewing experience, ya know?
