......awww, I'm feeling quite...emotional right now...

He's okay. Not great but not horrendous.

He just doesn't bring enough energy and excitement to eviction nights, which was the one thing Davina was good at.

Thats his style
he saved the deal money.
He is part of the Cogs of this Ch5HD / Endemol deal


Its Better than Nothing

This is an emotional moment

People are either naturally good presenters or they aren't. Brian isn't and it shows. He can't handle a show like BB. He's terrible. His 'speaking to the house' catchphrase is awful too and kills any suspense stone dead.

He's part of the reason I didn't watch the show to begin with. He was annoying, arrogant and smug when he was in the house and he's even worse now he's on the other side of the fence. He needs to go and get someone in who has a basic level of presenting ability and enthusiasm for the show. Emma should do the main show and Alice should do BOTS.

I just don't like what they've done with the evictions full stop. It just looks cheap and amateur. I can't stand the new outdoor set and they play the wrong music at the wrong times for example the tension music. Big changes needed for next years evictions because the so called event of the week is a catastrophic mess.

Last point, I miss Davina's MILFishness

I'm sure Brian is heart broken.

I agree his auto que skills need a bit of work but that will come with experience. His interviewing on the other hand is first class, already better than Davinas imo

He'll be heartbroken when Channel 5 axe it because of abysmal ratings and he's a big part of the reason. But credit where its due he is OK at the interviews but he can't keep enough interest throughout the live show for people to actually watch the interview. The whole thing is just flat and especially with a vote to save the evictions are already a bad enough non-event as it is.

I remember during presenter speculation Brian fans saying he had plenty of presenting experience, so after 10 years he should have mastered the autocue by now?

I seriously doubt that fans of Big brother would stop watching the evictions because of the presenter. Besides that Brian is very popular with BB fans, he's won the thing twice.

Well, Davina had presenting experience before she started as well and it still took her a while to settle into the new role

Why should I turn off my favourite tv show because that orange mess can't present?

I didn't say he is the sole reason, theres a few and he's a big one of them because it all looks so unprofessional.

Davina had presenting experience but shes a naturally good presenter so whilst she did take a while to fit into the role, she was still competent and didn't look like a rabbit caught in headlines. Channel 5 should never have relaunched BB with an amateur presenter who needs time to fit into the role because they've only got one chance for a first impression, more so with a brand like BB that was failing anyway. And after 10 years Brian has shown no promise as a presenter. He's always been crap and as a result of that he's presented next to no programmes that have registered on the publics radar.

My thoughts entirely. I find him slightly wooden - at times you can tell he's reading an autocue.

I also can't believe that he kept pronouncing 'Aden' with an R - a professional presenter would know how to pronounce contestants' names correctly. Emma, Alice, Jamie, Marcus had no problem with it.

[Barf_andotherthings]

wooden.
and interactions with family and friends of housemates etc is at times cringey (because of the woodeness).

[Adamw92]

No, I don't think he has worked well, Everytime the eviction show comes it just makes me miss Davina more and more

[Callum]

Think he's an awful presenter and I hope they give Emma the main show hosting gig next year. His ad libbing is awful and I don't even know where to begin with his auto cue skills.

[fizzy]

although Brian is not as good as Davina in presenting

he's ten times better than davina at interviews.

and that's what counts.


loving your work, Brain.

[Ramsay]

He's alright like

[reece(:]

he's a terrible presenter

[CaudleHalbard]

He's done a competent enough job.

Well enough to make me say "Davina Who?"
