Where does he hide for nine months each year? Davina always seems to be working, but O'Dreary pretty much disappears. I know he does a radio show, but anyone can read a script while a studio engineer changes discs and twiddles a few nobs. So, what else does BB's weakest link do with his time?

Believe me textbex she'll be rubbish. I hope she surprises me. Not that I'll be watching it.

yep good question charlotte i have asked that question so many times is its as if he only works for 10 weeks per year
Does Dermot need to work? not really, he gets paid loads for just doing BBLB.
It would be great to see him presenting other things throughout the year as well though, hes a cool guy.

Oh I love Dermot, I know he has his own radio show on Radio 2. Not sure about what else he does though.

He's okay in small doses, but the way he exaggerates his facial expression all the time gets on my nerves.

Dermots a funny dude i spose. Hes a good presenter.
Fangz

I prefer Russell. His OTT-ness is funny. But hey, each to their own and all that.:thumbs:

I think Russell would be better with the crowds than Dermot on eviction night. He is more down to earth and not frightened to tell people to shut up.
Fangz
19-08-2005, 11:50 PM
Yeah, Dermot's a bit too tactful, isn't he?
ThaGazBoi
19-08-2005, 11:51 PM
Yes that is true Fangz

he is a bit.... and with a chanting crowd being tactful not going to work. During the party show he said was going to get someone else in to sort out the fights. You can't do that on eviction night.

She's done quite a lot of tv, besides BB. Streetmate, Reborn In The USA, Stars In Their Eyes, The Brits, A Bear's Tail, Comic Relief, Oblivious, Pride Of Britain Awards, The BAFTA Awards, The Vault, Love On A Saturday Night, Pop Stars: The Rivals - and Sex And Shopping, Prickly Heat & God's Gift before BB, too.
Apparently, Dermot has also presented: Party In The Park 2000, SAS: Are You Tough Enough? (2002), Recovered (2002), Shattered (2004) and Generation Jedi (2005). Other than the SAS thing, I don't remember any of those at all. He also did T4 and The Bigger Breakfast before BBLB, too.

Dermot did Shattered...lol what a piece of crap that was, but I like Dermot!
I like Dermot, but I prefer Russell Brand. Shattered was quite good I thought.

his work for bblb and radio 2 probably mean he doesent need to do much else.
id take it easy too if i was in his position
CharlotteSometimes

I don't think that he 'takes it easy' by choice. It's more a case of nobody actually wanting to employ him, because he's really not very good at presenting at all.

Dermot's hardly talented is he? Not the worst presenter, but nothing special.

Fangz

Nope, not fantastic at all, which is a shame. BBLB could be so much better with a better presenter.

I prefer yours, jrc. :bigsmile:

Thanks, jrc. CharlotteSometimes, how dare you??? Brian's much better than Anthony! Poor Brian, you've hurt his feelings!

I was commenting on the previous avatar, which was the crest of the most successful team in the history of British football - LIVERPOOL FC. I can't help it if jrc decided on an inferior replacement, now can I? :bawling:
Fangz
22-08-2005, 08:28 AM
I'm waiting for my new avvy to turn up, actually, but it's taking ages. Brian's about to be replaced as well, lol.
CharlotteSometimes
22-08-2005, 08:32 AM
Why is it taking ages to come up?
Fangz
22-08-2005, 08:34 AM
I don't know, I've been fiddling with my control panel since I got up, and it still isn't working.:conf:
Charlotte, do you reckon I should change it back?
Fangz
22-08-2005, 08:35 AM
I think she does, jrc, but it's your avvy, do what ya like with it!:thumbs:
CharlotteSometimes
22-08-2005, 08:38 AM
Yeah, agreed. It's your choice, sweetheart. Never let anyone else tell you what to do. :bigsmile:
Fangz
22-08-2005, 08:43 AM
...Unless they're telling you to run, because there's an axe-wielding maniac behind you. Then it may be best to do as you're told.
I only changed it because I thought it should have something to do with Big Brother

You can put pretty much anything as your avvy, as long as it's not obscene.

Scary, isn't it, to think that by profession Craig is required to stand behind you whilst you're seated, brandishing an extremely sharp pair of scissors?
Fangz
22-08-2005, 08:46 AM
Not to mention his 'special' hair gel. *Gags*
CharlotteSometimes
22-08-2005, 08:48 AM
LOL! There's Something About Craigy.
Agreed, can't stand Craig

What would be worse, him hitting an artery, or giving you a mullet like his old one?
DEFINITELY Craig's mullet
Fangz
22-08-2005, 08:50 AM
My thoughts exactly. ANYTHING but the mullet!
