Default Brian Dowling - has he worked?

I know Brian is seen as a BB legend but I don't really liking him hosting the show. There is no sense of excitement at the interviews and his autocue style is really stilted.

Brian is doing a fantastic job imo, it's his first series and he's getting better and better as time goes on. I'm pretty sure if you went back to BB1 you'd notice a difference in Davina too

I actually think his interviews are far better than Davina's in the last 2 to 3 series, I also like Brian and think he has worked.
He'll be far better next year though when he can add more of his own stamp on BB, I think anyway.

He's not on long enough for me to form much of an opinion.

I don't like his voice when he is shouting out the links in the main show, but I do like his housemate interviews.

But why do gay men have to be camp? Its as if most gay men have the same camp personality. Im my first thread here, I think i said why put a camp bi/ gay guy like Tom. I would have been a fraction more tolerant to Jay if he'd been gay.

I know I'm far from camp, Brian does need to tone down just a little bit, his flirting with Jemma's boyfriend was cringeworthy.

Oh I know he is joking, personally I love his campness, like Niamh said, it's about right, if he was Louis Spence i-fied I'd be annoyed, he's a joke... but I just thought he was a bit cringe... at times, he'll improve though.

Lesbians seems to have less stereotypes than gay men eg no one really thinks all lesbians are butch any more etc. But gay men seem to be portrayed in same way, that's why it was cool when that cricketer Stephen Davies came out last year.

I quite like the campness, he's doing a good job so far and will get better if Channel Five give him a chance in my view.

I agree with this and with Niamh, he has just the right amount of campness, as does Alan Carr, I don't find it over the top..I think it compliments his presenting
