I love her. Basically.

She's horrendous but thankfully we dont have too much longer to put up with her crass, tactless and highly subjective style of interviewing. Once Big Brother ends there's no doubt that she'll gradually fade away from our screens.

Big_Kahuna 17-01-2010 01:34 AM

Can't believe this hatred for the lovely Davina. I think a lot of views will change when BB is no more....

Davina makes Big Brother for me, it just wouldn't be the same without her. Even BB5/6/7 wouldn't have felt right without her, despite how good the housemates were.

probably coincided with went she packed the coke in.

Don't think I could watch a prog were the presenter was as much to do with it if I hated the presenter IE DAVINA. She loves the prog. Each to their own I guess

Katia looked like she didn't know what to do, and on Big Mouth that journo had a go at her, she just looked like she wanted to cry! I think Davina gets worse every year! Hopefully if BB gets recomissioned (I doubt it) but if it does, they get a better presenter!

i wernt fussed on Katia, but the end of the interview when davina asked her along the lines of, " do you think people see you as you, and katia said yes, i hope so and davina turned round and said "no, no they don't" then the program went off. That was so bad to watch. I felt like crying for her.

but the majority don't see a personality from Katia. Davina was honest, the public generally hated Kat, why lie to her? BBBM is an after-show where we wanna see the aftermath, harsh or not. Davina haters will miss her when BB is gone. :dance:

Princess, how come Prestelle banner:conf:
"4 years ago,before I even knew who TT were,there was a couple called Prestelle and they stole my heart...."

that fake romace is over already
Following a much-publicised on-screen courtship, Chantelle married former fellow Celebrity Big Brother 2006 contestant Preston in August 2006. The couple announced their separation in a joint statement on 27 June 2007, and finally divorced on 21 November 2007.

That notalented "musican" Preston and "celebrity" Chantelle sure did get good money out from the press.

I don't like her gurning but she's OK

I think it's just because she is a terrible interviewer, I think she is a great presenter but not a good interviewer!

In my opinion, Dermot O'Leary is a great interviewer but a rubbish presenter, he was OK on BBLB but terrible on X Factor!

Davina wastes so much time waffling during interviews that by the time she asks people a question she cuts them off with 'very quickley, we're running out of time, now listen' why does she always say 'now listen' it's soo annoying and she reads everything off cards, most professional interviewers have rehearsed before hand so don't need cards!

btw I love your avatar!!:wavey:

Clockers 17-01-2010 09:34 PM

So far, I cannot think of anyone over 40 who I would like to shag more than Davina McCall.

I wouldn't say the public 'hate' Kat, she got 44% of a 3 way vote, Kris from BB10 got evicted with 63% of a 5 way vote and Lisa got 68% of a 6 way vote, yet Davina kissed both their asses, and later said they were great housemates, the fact she supports bullys and hates quiet people is what puts alot of people off her!

Braden 17-01-2010 09:40 PM

I think Davina took advantage of Katia unfairly because she is so shy and timid

Katia deserved what she got, I would have been so happy if there was more to Katia than a popstar WAG.

Same here, but I was most annoyed at her for telling the foul mouth Karly that WE (Speak for yourself Davina) all loved her accent and she was the most Scottish housemate ever, since when should bad behaviour be excused just because of a strong accent and then she told off Noirin coz Siavash 'gave up a girlfriend for her', I couldn't understand why she thought it was OK for a fella to give up a bird but wrong when it was the other way round!:conf:

Davina has cue cards because she doesn't have an autocue unless shes in the studio. A lot of time she spends in the studio is interviewing, where obviously she can't see the autocue. Plus you can't really rehearse an interview with someone who is still in the house.

Brekkie 18-01-2010 11:55 AM

She can't win really - if she's not being criticised for being a soft touch, she's criticised for being too harsh. If she's not criticised for having favourites, she's accused of being uninterested in the show.

I've no problem with Davina and when she's on fire, she's fantastic (BB9 is her best series of late as the entertaining characters got evicted week after week, so she had some great interviewees to work with). However, the format of the eviction show does her no favours at all, or placing her in a baying mob - and indeed wearing black. The evictions shouldn't be so depressing - they should be the highlight of the week as they were back in the early days - and I do find Davina more watchable on other shows now, when she's not in black!


Interesting though watching her on This Morning saying she's now thankful the show has been axed as it's forcing her to move on and do other things - and I've said for the last few years BB and Davina weren't doing each other any favours, with Big Brother needing a change of direction, and holding Davina back. She needed to cut her links with BB for her career to move on.


The most gutting thing on This Morning though was Holly Willoughby is clearly a massive fan of the show and I've said for the last couple of years she'd have been the ideal replacement - more than capable of stepping into Davina's shoes but doing the show her own way, but more importantly the tabloids love her and Holly taking over would have generated alot of publicity for the show.

I agree Big Brother wouldnt be the same. Love her on Big Mouth.

Brekkie 18-01-2010 02:43 PM

Big Brother not being the same wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing (certainly as far as the awful Marcus Bentley is concerned!).

And Davina on Big Mouth is just cringe-worthy. That decision has ruined Big Mouth completely as it's just not a show Davina should be presenting. Although all a matter of taste Russell Brand, Horne and Corden and Jack Whitehall were funny, whilst with Davina it's just an hour of her trying to be funny and failing miserably.

bananarama 18-01-2010 03:10 PM

She annoys me at times but BB would not be the same without her..........

informer 18-01-2010 03:51 PM

davina is a pussy...she gave light hearted interviews to some of the lowlifes on the show esp the females as she knows they would destroy her, makosi musambasi, grace adams short, jade goody..all were repulsive human beings but were told by davina they were 'great housemates..whilst the fragile ones such as katia and others who have been given a grilling
