Should Emma Be Fired for Being an Impartial Host?

[Chilltown]

The host is supposed to remain unbiased, especially when interviewing. Emma has breached that numerous times this season. Maybe it's time to let Rylan step in instead.

[zakman440]

No and no.

[Will.]

she's being nice to Nikki compared to Simon and Helen

[Denver]

I expect she is planning quitting anyway

[GypsyGoth]

Emma should get a bonus, she's one of the few assets this show has.

[BB4fan]

Did you ever see Davina...??? I found her to be far more harsh.

Remember Makosi's interview and Keneth Tong..???

[Ross.]

anyway

[Moosething]

lol OP leave

[GiRTh]

She wont be so no point in discussing it.

[ebandit]

kinda hard to be unbiased when you first interview satan..........then

a popular legend...............

[Pete.]

Nope the Helen interview was on point because she asked and grilled Helen on the questions that the 1,000+ people complained about

[Withano]

Yes this. Why should she make out that Helens bullying was acceptable. It wasn't. Why should she make out that Helens excuses in her interview was justifiable. They weren't and she shouldn't. Kudos to Emma.

[Pete.]

Remember Makosi's interview and Keneth Tong..???
Not more Davina hate - the Makosi interview Davina herself recognises as bad, so she made up for it in UBB fully appreciating the truth and the light that was Makosi Musambasi

[Crimson Dynamo]

Fired for being impartial?

[Withano]

Fired for being impartial?

Hahaha

[FacelessME]

Lol.

[Chilltown]

Twitter is in a storm, people calling for her resignation.

[Vicky.]

Never did Davina any harm...

[LukeB]

No

[LukeB]

Never did Davina any harm...

this

[Amy Jade]

lol no

[Shaun]

If you think grilling the housemates who build themselves to be big characters and, to be blunt, *****, is bias, then idk what to make of you

[lewis111]

tonight wasn't great but I love her, great presenter

[smudgie]

Nope, you can only work with what is in front of you.
Not here for a wooden presenter either.

[BB4fan]

I never said I hated her but she was more harsh than Emma.

[fitz2k2]

get emma out!!!!!

[billy123]

Twitter is in a storm, people calling for her resignation.No it isnt. BB isnt even trending.

[Lostie!]

Neither of the poll options are right for me tbh, she shouldn't be fired but I don't believe such obviously impartial interviews have a place on the show. She should keep her job but rein that back in future.

[Shamdamdoobaley]

She shouldn't be fired but that interview was definitely unprofessional

[chuff me dizzy]

Unfeckingbelievable ........ Ive never seen anyone sink that low

[bots]

and emmas bias continues on bots

[chuff me dizzy]

No it isnt. BB isnt even trending.

One Facebook comment about how bad she was tonight got over 150 likes within minutes

[y.winter]

Oh no twitter people are raging. Run for your lives!



*nikkirollinghereyesgifs,allofthem*

[Kazanne]

You should hear them on BBBOTS,lol

[Kazanne]

and emmas bias continues on bots

Oh snap.

[billy123]

How are the grapes?

[Razor]

Fair play to Emma.

[Shaun]

Unfeckingbelievable ........ Ive never seen anyone sink that low

might want to book yourself in at Specsavers love

[chuff me dizzy]

You should hear them on BBBOTS,lol

Im not watching it

[Lostie!]

If you're suggesting that anyone who has an issue with Emma not being impartial in her interviews is doing so because of "sour grapes", you might need to rethink that assessment. I've been very vocal of my dislike of Helen throughout all of last year's series and her return this year.

It's not about liking or disliking Helen, it's about expecting the host to do her job without her inner fan taking over, resulting in her so clearly taking sides.

[Daniel.]

Helen deserved it all, I don't see anything wrong with the interview, if anything it should have been harsher.

[rusticgal]

How many times do people critiseze the interviewer for 'letting housemates get away with it'...'being weak'...
Emma did a great job tonight and her interviews throughout this series have been direct and not devoid of pulling punches.
That's what we want don't we?....someone questioning people's behaviour based on what we see?...not someone kissing arse and letting them off the hook.
She did great..

Totally agree.

It's the same old,same old Chuff,you're not missing much

That's what I thought about Helen...

:clap1::clap1: Nice to see a poster being impartial Lostie

[JeanP!]

YES

You clearly don't know what the job of 'host' is then, you overly emotional boob.

[joeysteele]

The host is supposed to remain unbiased, especially when interviewing. Emma has breached that numerous times this season. Maybe it's time to let Rylan step in instead.

She has done her bias bit the last 2 years really, her eviction interviews have all got steadily worse.
Rylan would be no better sadly.

I like Emma but she does allow her own bias to shine through.just awful but then she has a good teacher in BB itself.
She won't really care what viewers think anyway.

[Jase.]

Mess. When somebody as disgusting and vile as Helen has done the things she has done, you bet your ass the public want her to be called out on it, and that's exactly what Emma did.

[Jamie89]

What do people want, a robot? She's only human, of course she reacted negatively to Helen. Can't blame her for that.
I'm not really a fan of Emma but she certainly shouldn't be fired for impartiality. She's not there to flatter the HM's ego's. And if the alternative is Rylan then this question is null and void really lol

What you say in your first sentence, actually means... Impartial. Mayhap the question should have been, Should Emma Be Fired For NOT Being an impartial Host... No, would be my O. This is BB...Almost

[cassieparis]

:shrug: No Emma shouldn't be sacked.
Davina McCall showed bias almost every day that she hosted BB. So much so that the Broadcasting regulator got involved and she of the snarling curling lip never got the sack . So no Emma is just following trend.:shrug:

You are right as to that and Davina too, her last few series interviews got awful to watch too.

[sungrass]

Totally agree.

she was great. I dont want a wooden interviewer she said what people wanted to know.

[Visage]

If you think grilling the housemates who build themselves to be big characters and, to be blunt, *****, is bias, then idk what to make of you

Pretty much this.

[cookiemonster]

no she's great

[Northern Monkey]

No!!!This is blasphemy!!!

[goldensunlight]

Good presenter but terrible interviewer. She was awful tonight.

[BENDERBOY]

She wimped out on calling Helen out on her bullying.

[jegmeister]

She wasn't biased so the premise of your question is wrong.

In fact, she was very restrained. She was very professional with her but challenged her strongly on her disgraceful behaviour as a good interviewer should. She also called her out on "honest Helen's" lies ie that Nikki is fake. She may be many things but that's one thing that Nikki definitely isn't.

I do find it extraordinary that anyone would think there was anything whatsoever that was biased in that interview. And I speak as someone who has been very critical of Emma in the past. She has been biased sometimes. Definitely not tonight. I thought it was one of the best interviews she's ever done.

[Jack_]

She deserved it, I would usually agree that all housemates deserve to be treated fairly in their interviews (which actually to be honest, Helen was) but when they've bullied someone the interview is naturally going to be harsh so that they can get to the bottom of what happened. Would people have been happy for Jade to receive a warm welcome by Davina and Dermot upon her exit 8 years ago? No, I don't think so. If you act like a ****, be prepared to be called out on it and rightly so. She overstepped the mark and faced the repercussions in her interviews.

Two side notes:

1) I don't get the issue with presenters being 'biased' anyway, I want to know what their options are (especially if they're fans of the show like Emma). Anyone that gets their opinions from a presenter of a show is a moron, I'm pretty sure that's few and far between

2) People also forget that the producers set the tone and structure of the interview, so abusing Emma is futile.

They don't own her Twitter though, and she's shown her colours there.

It was pathetic I thought. I didn't realise they could show rimming live on TV at that hour of the night.

And? She can say whatever she wants on her own Twitter, and rightly so. I want to know what she's thinking as she's a Big Brother fan. Once again, anyone that gets their opinions from the host of a show is a moron, and I'm pretty sure no one does...so what's the issue?

Also I checked Emma's Twitter last night and unless she's tweeted something differently since then the only potentially biased things I've seen was a direct tweet to Brian (not posted publicly with his handle mid-tweet, but at the start) saying to 'keep your head up' and maybe some tweets about how the show has been hard to watch, which it has. Don't see the problem.

And one to Nikki tonight.

The point is you can't say the producers are steering it if her interview style matches her personal opinion.

Simon got pulled up on the stuff he did. Helen got pulled up. Nikki wasn't a saint in the house, she could have been pulled up.

The excuse of "everyone knows Nikki is a nutter" doesn't wash with me. Couldn't people just say £everyone knows Helen is a bitch" and excuse her behaviour?

Nikki is a priveleged child, and hasn't changed a day since she was 12 years old I imagine....... except for the sunbed.

Thinking about it now after reading your post, I have to concede and agree with you.
All good and valid points Jack_,well said.
