The Fall of Davina McCall.

[Shaun]

She's been dead a long time now, and I know this thread is neither original nor productive, but merely a place to pay your disrespects.

I remember when I liked her :( she seemed goofy, a bit ditzy, quite a fun presenter. Then as the series went on and the quality of the show deteriorated, so did her impartiality. She rapidly became irritating and the past few weeks have gone to show how far she's fallen.

I know she's said she won't follow the show to Five, but I'm actually glad. She's stale.

[Tom]

Davina is amazing :nono:

BB on Channel 5 will probably be presented by Justin Lee Collins or Jane Middlemiss or someone equally as stupid

[Niamh.]

I like Davina as a presenter but if the show does move to 5 I think they need to start with a fresh new face, like she was when she started

[Beso]

lol at your tag line.

[setanta]

She was stale years ago. Just a very lucky camper that her face was part of the BB brand on C4.

[lostalex]

Speaking of davina's demise... Julie Chen just got new daytime chat show. :)
maybe she should call Julie, she might be able to give her a job on her new show :P

She's arrogant and unjustly so. All respect was lost for her with her disgraceful interview with Rachel Rice a couple of years ago.

Nice thread-copy by the way

No Ch5 has Let
Justin Go.

His recent Show was Stopped

[Ninastar]

Shaun you got my hopes up then!

[Captain.Remy]

She was a disaster in BB11. I guess it's because she feels it's the end.

[lostalex]

ACTUALLY i dothink davina would be good on Julie Chen's new show.... it's kind of like The View, or what you guys know as "loose women"... I think Davina could be good on it. She could add the quirky british perspective on alot of issues.

...yeah because I browse the UBB section for threads to copy. If you posted something similar earlier I'm sorry, but as I said in the OP, I know this isn't an original thread. Get over yourself.

[lostalex]

I would LOVE to see davina and Julie on the same stage lol

iknow i'm not the only one.

[Patrick]

Davina was great up until BB 2009 when they gave her Big Mouth then all the chavs went to her head for f-ck sake.

Jack Whitehall presenting BBBM could of saved Davina.

[Captain.Remy]

Julie + Davina would be amazing. The Chen-bot and the deluded British, now that'd be so awesome hahaha

Davina is funnier and more relaxed while Julie is definitely the most professional one. Sge can handle an interview properly.

did yu hear Julie lately , yelling at Enzo?? lol
"ENZO I NEED YOUR ANSWER NOW!!!"

i can imagine her yelling at davina the same way lol..
Davina, i need your answer NOW!!!

davina, no more stupid faces and sounding lik yur a ****, i need yur awnser NOW!!!.

lmao.

Julie runs a tight ship.

[Beastie]

Dawn French is apparently obsessed with Big Brother but don't think I have seen her on BBLB? She would be a good host!!

I can't think of anyone better than Davina to host Big Brother on channel 5..

Dermot.. but he buggered off to the X Factor.

We need Julie Chen!

I hope BB12 follows BBUS's format. BRILLIANT.

Oh seriously? I have never disagreed more with a post than I have with this.

What the ******?

Julie Chen is a ugly robot who can't present to save her ******ing life.

BBUSA is the biggest piece of sh*t.


BBUK is entertaining and our format is the best.
No way should be adapt into the American way.
We're not American.

You mean the one with no personality?

It's funny how many Americans have said on here/Facebook and Youtube that we are lucky to have Davina because they have a rubbish host lol

So if I think she's sh*t and the Americans think she's sh*t.. she must be sh*t.

She's not a 's**t' presenter. She has hosted US TV for over 14 years. She isn't a robot, she just doesn't need to do a lot of moving around on BBUS. She's not ugly either. We're not American, but their BB has lasted longer than ours, must say something.

Also, Julie is un-biased, and isn't comedic or crude behaved. She can carry out an interview properly without being all like 'I love them, so I hate you' like Davina. I have nothing against Davina, but her time has come.

The last few posts in this thread are making me laugh so hard :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker: :joker:

Anyway, whilst I agree with the OP - there is still something about her that I love. And to me she is an essential part of the show. It wouldn't be right without her.

[lostalex]

If BB is renewed on a nw channel, it will have to be different.

i Imagine it will be like the brazillian version, like a hyrid between the original dutch version and the new pioneering American version.

I can't imagine they'll keep it the same.

eigther way, i doubt they'll keep the cackling ****oid davina. no way no how.

[Talulabelle]

racist.:nono:

The americans arent a RACE ya gonk (cept the 'native americans' of course) so how can it be racist.

Just shows the arrogance of some.

[Tom]

Julie Chen is a newsreader our equivalent would be Fiona Bruce which is about as far removed from Big Brother as you can get

[lostalex]

What's the Brazillion version like?

Mmm I do like the same format but seeing as though it may go to channel 5.. it will have to be different.

I hope there is a different production team etc.. and a new producer.. I heard PEJ has quit anyways!!

Someone who will have the power to choose GOOD housemates.

it's exactly like i just said. halfway between the dutch and american versions.

they keep the public vote, but they also have HOH and POV's, and more control by the housemates. and they embrace the game aspect of it more than the dutch/Uk version yur used to.

I do like it more as a game.. with tasks and that. You have to be competitive and in it to win it!!

Anywho whatever happens to BB.. I will still be watching.. whatever the format :)

[lostalex]

well me too. i love BB in all it's forms. i hope we don;t lose BBUK. it's the last other english language BB besides BBUS. :(

[Talulabelle]

hey you guys think English is a race, so... :conf:

Really? That's quite a sweeping statement. Others can speak for themselves but I, personally have never said that.

[GiRTh]

Everything Davina done except BB has failed. The embarrassing chat show, her disastrous stint on Radio 2 sitting in for Ken Bruce, that awful sitcom etc. She's been living on borrowed time for a while now. This is the final nail in the coffin.

Got To Dance was a relative success and is going into it's second series and Million Pound Drop got great ratings for Channel 4.

I like Davina as a presenter and a person, just not on Big Brother.

[lostalex]

Your ignorance is pretty funny :joker:

he didn't lie.:cat:

[Braden]

Hopefully Davina hasn't hurt herself...


Holds for laughter*

[lostalex]

IF "the million pound drop is all davina has to look forward too, that does't say much for her.

did you see that show?

srsly...

I'm only counting terrestial TV. I could mention that she did a show called the END - apt title - on MTV about 15 years ago or Gods gift but I was trying not to bring up her horrendous early work.

EDIT: AS for million pound drop. Talk about dumbing down. That show is her level now but a few years ago she'd never have looked at such rubbish.

[boomoo]

She's arrogant and unjustly so. All respect was lost for her with her disgraceful interview with Rachel Rice a couple of years ago.

True.
She is an interviewer and not meant to show bias.
The first time she interviewed makosi was bad.

She went over the top about Sam Pepper just because people of a certain age thought he was interesting. He was only interesting because the rest were boring.

Her crudeness is unseemly for a woman of her age with three children.
Imagine when they grow up and see those BBBM.

[Tom]

I'm only counting terrestial TV. I could mention that she did a show called the END - apt title - on MTV about 15 years ago or Gods gift but I was trying not to bring up her horrendous early work.

She used to be one of the main faces of ITV doing things like Popstars The Rivals, Don't Try This At Home, Streetmate (C4), The Vault, Stars in their eyes as well as presenting big things like The Brits and Comic Relief. She was also meant to replace Fern on This Morning but turned it down because she didn't need the money. Thats not bad going for someone whos shows all fail

She hasn't done much in the past few years because she hasn't needed to, she gets £1m a year for BB. Its no coincidence that when BB gets axed, she suddenly gets the dancing show on Sky and £1m Drop

[MrGaryy]

Well why on earth are you only counting terrestrial TV when pretty much everyone uses digital now? The fact one of her altest successes is on a digital channel hardly demeans the triumph.

And regardless of your personal opinion on MPD, the fact still stands that it was a big success for C4 and Davina, therefore proving that everything she has done outside of BB, is clearly not a failure.

Its no coincidence that when BB gets axed, she suddenly gets the dancing show on Sky and £1m DropYou're right ten years ago she was hot but for the past 5 years she's gone downhill. She even left John Noel cuz she was not happy with what he was getting her and felt Russell Brand was getting preferential treatment but even with that the only thing she's landed is a dance show on Sky. Other than BB her work isnt much to shout about.

Now you're just contradicting yourself, if she was hot property then clearly she must have done something outside of BB, and hosting BB is hardly anything to shout about anyway you can't really go much lower

I dont see too many shows on sky getting 10 million viewers every week.

MPD is dire and will probably end up in an afternoon slot. Thats not much of a success.

[GiRTh]

Now you're just contradicting yourself, if she was hot property then clearly she must have done something outside of BB, and hosting BB is hardly anything to shout about anyway you can't really go much lowerYou include the likes of streetmate when naming her success. Do you consider these shows to be high up on Davinas CV. Her CV reads Big Brother and not much else cuz there aint much else.

I agree though, hosting BB is as low as you can but that just shows how dire the rest of her work is. She'll be remembered for BB.

[MrGaryy]

Terrestrial TV is the benchmark for viewing figures. I dont see too many shows on sky getting 10 million viewers every week.

MPD got Channel 4 their highest viewing figures in three months. In fact I believe the only show on C4 to have beaten it's ratings since, has been Big Brother. Seems like a success to me.

And to be honest, I don't see many shows on any channel getting 10 millions viewers other than X Factor.

[lostalex]

i don't think that's a good way of looking at thing mr. garvy.

look at HBO in the USA which is a pay channel, and it produces the best shows in the world.

HBO has totally blown yur way of thinking out of the water on this side of the pond.

arista I edited it myself because Niamhxo asked me to :p

[lostalex]

never say never.

[MrGaryy]

They plugged the hell out of MPD had it on LIVE for a week, got their most recognisable presenter and it still gets beaten by BB.

But you can't ignore the fact that it was a success for Channel 4, their second highest rated show of the year and has just been picked up by an American channel. It's a success for Channel 4, that much is undeniable.

[Patricia4]

davina should be on jobseekers allowance.

[MrGaryy]

Lets have this discussion in a years time when MPD is on in the afternoon with repeats in the early morning. Thats where that show is heading.

Channel 4 can barely scrape a million in ratings at the minute, they're hardly gonna put their biggest show on in the afternoon.

MPD belongs in an afternoon slot maybe as a lead in for Countdown. Thats where it'll end up.

kk.

[Braden]

What the french? ^

[Jamie.....]

what a freakin jerk. (that's the nastiest thing i'm allowed to say here)

what is your problem ?

[Braden]

When Nadia said she was old, bitter and fat. Davina just said, 'you're not old....'

I was like wtf, way to wreck a women who was going through **** already.

[CultofSkaro]

She should be replaced with another Davina, so the 'Big Brother house, this is Davina' thing is still in tact.

She may still be in the running for This Morning as apparently Holly isn't very happy (she misses the folks on X Factor) and still has a year to run of her contract.

[arista]

arista I edited it myself because Niamhxo asked me to :p


But it does not say Edited.

so a Mod did it.

You know a female presenter or cleberity is finnished if she is on loose women. It's like a carrer grave yar

Other than BB her work isnt much to shout about.

She also has a nice steady income with her fitness DVD's. She probably has a fair old wedge salted away for a rainy day.

No doubt she wont be signing on for Jobseeker's allowance if she didnt ever work again.

[Niall]

What the hell has Davina done?! Seriously!!

[BB_Eye]

It's time the girl moved on. She is a leftover anachronism from the 1990's.

See? She is much more restrained here. (still not a great interviewer though)

[Chuckyegg]

You may or may not be true about her, as a presenter, but I think she'll be OK in the long run.

Am I missing the point?

[Lex]

Vanessa Feltz could be the bb12 host...... lol

Joking-apart!!...She would do a fine job imo! :thumbs:

But, I think that Michael Mcintire would lift the show exponentially! :xyxwave:

[AJ.]

Vanessa Feltz could be the bb12 host...... lol

Oh sh!t... :shocked:


Emma Willis for me or maybe Kate Lawler, no?

[BB_Eye]

Again, Richard Herring for me. He is used to working infront of an audience and he is a talented comedian. Not to mention he can be super cruel when he needs to be.
