Emma Willis vs. Brian Dowling

[Jords]

Hot favourites for new BB Presenter on Channel 5, but I dont think weve had a straight head-to-head poll on whod we rather take the role, so here it is :D

Emma please.

[Callum]

Emma Willis for sure

[CharlieO]

Emma >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[dizzy bint]

Brian. They will have already made their choice though.

[Vicky.]

Brian

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Emma

[joeysteele]

I voted Emma but I really like Brian too and would be just as pleased if he did it.I do think though Emma deserves the chance first for it.

[georgehudson]

Emma. 100%.

[GypsyGoth]

Emma :love:

[georgehudson]

They will have already made their choice though.

True.

[Mac Hiavellian]

Of the 2, Emma :)

Not against both but if it has to be just 1 then my vote goes to her

[BigBroSite]

I personally would prefer Brian. I always liked him!

[Niamh.]

Brian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daniel R]

Brian. I like Emma too, though.

[Novo]

Emma

[AJ.]

Emma for sure.

[cub]

Emma. Brian is too emotional.

[dizzy bint]

Emma. Brian is too emotional.

Emma isn't emotional? :conf:

Emma is the one that got carried away with the fauxmance.

[georgehudson]

Looks like Emma's won this one :spin:

[InOne]

Emma, what a broad :love:

[Beastie]

Emma.

[Jordan.]

Emma. This is not even a question.

[happybbfan]

Brian but it wont matter now with no live feed the show wont last long

[MeMyselfAndI]

Liked Brian as a HM but not as a presenter, Emma

[dizzy bint]

Well if Brian gets the main job and Emma BBLB you'll all see more of Emma than Brian so that should please :).

[Marc]

Emma.

Brian was a winner, a good winner. It should just stay that way.

[Niamh.]

Emma.

Brian was a winner, a good winner. It should just stay that way.

Brian is always a winner, he will win at being the best BB presenter too :hmph:

[Marc]

Brian is always a winner, he will win at being the best BB presenter too :hmph:

Davina... :shocked:

:idc:

[reece(:]

emma is more professional plus i like her more :)

[Marc]

:bawling: we all shouldn't be talking about this.. the presenters chair is still warm from Davina's ass

[Niamh.]

Davina... :shocked:

:idc:

Yes...........even better than Davina

Emma (:

[mizzy25]

EMMA brian i dont think wud as good as hes already been in the house TWICE so emma wud b best imo

[dizzy bint]

EMMA brian i dont think wud as good as hes already been in the house TWICE so emma wud b best imo

Of what relevance is that? We're talking about the presenter not who should go into the house. The fact that he's been in the house twice should be a point in his favour. He knows what it's like and will see through some of the housemates.

Bollocks to Brian

I liked davina..
Emma has similar characteristics and look as davina.

[Niamh.]

Emma can have that and she will be thankful to work alongside the great Brian Dowling http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink020.gif

We could call her 'Davina clone' or 'Davina lite'.

Emma is fit, fun and fresh.

Brian is overrated and slightly annoying. He's just a tad too camp for the main show, he'd become too giddy and it would become about him. Plus it seems a bit curse someone from the failed C4 show presenting, do you not think?

That's only your opinion on him though, I (and all the people who voted for him to win twice) love his personality and find him entertaining and funny.

[Jordan.]

Brian even ruined Davina's moment when BB ended talking over her final speech. :bored:

[Matt]

I totally agree. At best he should get the BBLB job - though I'd prefer if ex-housemates didn't get the main presenting jobs.

[Niamh.]

She has a good body so she should present BB? Do I have to remind you that the majority of BB viewers are not straight men! :nono:

No I do not think. Why would it become about him? Would the producers not be in charge? Would there not be a script? He's presented other shows that haven't become about him.

On the other hand he has a lot more presenting experience than Emma. He has a lot of experience handling large crowds. He loves BB and is undoubtedly enthusiastic about it.

Why do you say the C4 show failed? He comes from the heyday of BB, maybe he'll transfer his success to it.

[Jordan.]

On the other hand he has a lot more presenting experience than Emma. He has a lot of experience handling large crowds.

What presenting experience does he have? I've not seen him present anything until after UBB.

Emma has been doing all sorts of shows for years now.

[bananarama]

Emma by a million miles. Can't see why anyone would want stale ale like Brian who is as entertaining as a wet flannel in a freezer....

[Niamh.]

Not even heard of most of them & the last 3 were after UBB.

Emma is far more experienced.

[Niamh.]

Emma is far more experienced.

Don't get me wrong, I like Emma but she comes across as a bit nervous when presenting. Brian is far more confident and would be much more able to hold his own with a large crowd(imo)

[dizzy bint]

The facts speak for themselves I'm afraid. The fact is that Emma is not more experienced than Brian.

What are the facts :suspect:

Emma wanted to be a presenter so has trained. Brian got lucky with BB.

[Niamh.]

So? Brian is still working after pretty much all of the other ex HMs have slid into obscurity, that says alot imo.

[dizzy bint]

Brian is trained. He was on a training contract when he presented SM:tv Live.

You seem to be arguing against somebody you know very little about.

[CharlieO]

I think they will choose an experienced presenter not connected to BB in any way in order to attract viewers who aren't already BB fans. Not that it will work, I just think it's what they will do.

[Andrew.]

She has a good body so she should present BB? Do I have to remind you that the majority of BB viewers are not straight men! :nono:

im a straight male, and i love it, dont be so prejudice. yeah alot of people who LOVE BB are GAY but im not, my mate isnt. she is FIT and i think she would be the best possible replacement for davina.

[joeysteele]

As I have said I don't really mind which one of them did it,I like Emma,I also think she deserves the first chance to do it but I also find Brian very entertaining,he would do it really well too.

[Niamh.]

im a straight male, and i love it, dont be so prejudice. yeah alot of people who LOVE BB are GAY but im not, my mate isnt. she is FIT and i think she would be the best possible replacement for davina.

How am I being prejudiced? you just basically agreed with me. I didn't say no straight men watched but I'm pretty sure that it's mostly women and gay men that do.

[InOne]

The poll speaks for itself and so do most of the people on here. Make the right choice BB :nono:

The problem with Brian is he is like marmite, you don't want that in a presenter. Emma is all round loveable :love:

[Jords]

Facebook poll here: http://www.facebook.com/BigBrotherC5#!/BigBrotherC5

Emma is also currently leading in that.

Could ask the same question to you. I know it all comes down to opinion but you give as good as you get. Both sides out stubborn. Just Emma's side happens to be right :tongue:

I got linked to bloody lemon party by Locke the other day :laugh2:

Edit: Wrong thread!

[dizzy bint]

Your original post reads that if you disagree with the result given by the poll then you're not speaking for yourself.

In the end it is down to the opinion of C5 and Endemol. If, after all the due processes, it is their opinion that Brian is the right person for the job then he will get it.

There's five to six weeks to go. Do you really think C5 haven't made their decision and signed up the relevant people :conf:

[Niamh.]

They must have it all decided by now, they've spent alot of money on this, I'm pretty sure they have it all decided and are fine tuning the details only, right now. I wish they'd hurry up and announce who's doing it though, all this speculation is starting to wreck my head!

[Kate!]

I voted Emma, but can't help thinking Emma herself may actually prefer to present BBLB, as there's more to the role?? Just a thought.

I'd be happy to see her and Brian both present a show, regardless of which way round it turns out!

This waiting for confirmation is verging on torturous, Just tell us C5 and soon please.... :nono:

Emma would be good for announcing who has been evicted and stuff, Brian would be excellent for the banter in the interviews.

Whatever happens, I hope both of them are involved and they don't pick someone completely random that no one knows or wants!

Must have imagined it :conf:

Good way to describe it :hugesmile:


Not in an offensive way, but Brian would make Big Brother too camp, and may turn away male viewers who are not camp gays (and maybe even the amount of guys who apply!). By doing that you would probably cut 1/5-1/4 of your audience straight away (females and gays are the biggerst audience but you dont want to single out anybody.. its about expanding and appealing to wider audiences).

Hed be ok hosting BBLB along side Josie as reporter as its optional viewing and as Zippy said, hed be diluted.

You are wrong.

[Jords]

I dont mind Brian but I honestly think that would happen.


My dad loves BB but when his mates are around he'll be like 'theyve got that crap on again', and then when we point out he watches it too he'll say something like 'only because of Davina! :evilgrin:' :joker:
Even though he gets right into it (Marcus and Freddie were his massive favourites in BB10).

BB is already seen as a guilty pleasure show, I think that would become more apparent with Brian presenting on the main show.

[Novo]

They will no doubt pick a good looking female in order to attract straight male viewers who aren't already into BB.

I know lots of straight men who think he's funny, I seriously doubt anyone who actually likes BB would not watch because of the presenter just as much as anyone who hates it would suddenly decide to watch because of him/her

People don't start watching a programme that has very little to do with the presenter because the presenter is attractive.

Any sane person yes but I bet thats the view channel 5 will take in my opinion. I honestly would rather Brian than someone like Myleen or Caroline Flack but still Emma would be the best choice of person previously connected with BB.

[Novo]

Brian is far to over the top for the main show he could easily be a presenter in a spin off like Big Mouth though as for Emma she's almost perfect for presenting the main show she's got the looks and the experience as well

[Zippy]

Caroline Flack>Emma Willis>Brian Dowling

[Niamh.]

lets wait and see who they choose then, they've invested alot in this, I'm pretty sure they know what does and doesn't bring in and hold viewers.

[Jords]

Its all about trying to take away the 'guilty viewing' side of watching BB.

The whole 'hes just won UBB, now hes presenting' makes it seem a bit trashy and the fact hes very camp to appeal to BB's biggest audience of girls & gay men increases it being a guilty pleasure for other males (who Id say are at least 1/5 of the audience which is still a lot, ~400,000 of 2,000,000).

That wont draw a diverse audience, but will rake in more girls & gay men singling others out and that will then reduce the range of personalities of the men that apply for the show..

[happybbfan]

If the live feed fiasco is anything to go by then i dont think they do know will bring in the viewers

I wish people would stop going on about looks as if that has something to do with how successful a presenter will be. A good presenter has to have a personality more than anything else, look at Kelly Brooke for example, gorgeous girl but flat personality, her looks didn't keep her on any show for any length of time.

Its partly to do with the presenter not everything. If the show is crap then no presenter can save it but its about how the show is marketed and who presents it is linked with that.

Personalities appeal to different people. Look how well the Davina/Dermot days did, because Davina is a nice good looking woman that women dont feel threatend by and men can have a good gawp at. Dermot has that 'Id take him for a pint' appeal to men, and is eye candy for all the women/gay fans.

If it feels like a girl/gay show it will not draw many new male fans.

Just look at Sky Sports news.. not one ugly female presenter.

And the heavy focus on romantics in the house needs to be cut down too :bored:

There have always been a lot of people that didn't like Davina. Her shouting and gurning got on a lot of people's nerves but they put up with it to watch the show.

I like davina in the early years because she came accross natural but in later years i had no time for her presenting style which appeared scripted and un natural.I like Emma Willis and she can present well but i am afraid she may be another Davina clone in time to come.I believe Brian will have the job

[Zippy]

so annoying when the director is zooming in on phoney love antics when you can hear far more interesting stuff going on elsewhere in the house.

Showmances should be banned!
