I never understood why they didn't just eject the three of them. :/

YES!
I'm glad someone agrees. :')

This is all was needed for Emily in BB8 too. There's lots of reasons why BB started to dwindle and a great deal of it was post CBB5 :(

But yes, Davina was very biased, I didn't like her Rachel/Makosi interviews and neither did I like her Grace/Nikki ones either. I admired that she was a huge fan of the show and was very enthusiastic and supportive of it but she should have kept her opinions of the HMs for the Big Mouth show or whenever she was interviewed on BBLB

well, the whole Emily thing was crazy imo, alright it was a bad choice of words to use but she didn't say it in an offensive way. They should have warned her not to use the word in the house again, that would have been more than enough. But it was quite obviously a reaction to the whole shilpa incident which was stupid.

its true, it just wouldnt be the same, no one could ever be as good as her, she was the show and i hate to admit it but i just dont think it could survive without her :/ she is big brother and no one could ever replace her :(

plus chantelle houghton is pregnant :P

It can, but I am really going to miss her.

IS CHANTELLE PREGNANT?! :shocked: :dance: I love her :spin:

I'll miss Davina, but it depends who takes over.

Before the Grace debacle I would have said 'no'. Now I couldn't care less about her. At one time I seem to remember her bringing some degree of professionalism to Big Brother as a presenter (and before BB6, even as an interviewer too), but there can be no doubt her abilities have been well and truly washed out. Tellingly, as Davina has lurched further and further into middle age, her awkward attempts at self-deprecating slapstick have become increasingly unfunny, theatrical and juvenile.

The only good thing she still had in the last series was enthusiasm for the show. She had more love for Big Brother in her little finger than George Lamb ever had in his insignificant, untalented existence. She didn't even mind leaving herself open to ridicule on other TV shows for singing Big Brother's praises in the weeks running up to BB11. She probably still loved the show more than its purported fans on this forum (including me)... maybe too much.

I think she can be replaced in terms of presenting. It'll just be odd because we're all used to it just being Davina doing it.

Yeah, Davina was an essential part of the early series with her 30-something elegant enthusasm but her forty-something facile gurning approach to the later series served only to annoy rather than entertain ..... :eek:

OTOH, Marcus' voice is, Vicky pointed out, truly iconic ..... :cool:

What's all this "Davina was too harsh" "Davina was too soft".
Disciplined after CBB5? She followed scripts laid out by the producers.
