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!

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:

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:

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

I don't think Holly would present BB. She is being paid a chunk load for This Morning. I think Big Brother should move to channel 5 with Emma Willis being the new presenter!

True, but she didn't give a light hearted interview to Makosi, that has to be one of Davina's most controversial interviews! I hated the way she spoke to Grace like she was her best friend and laughed with her about throwing water at Susie!

Jay_1986 18-01-2010 11:37 PM

Davina won me over tonight, I go on and off her, but she was OK tonight, I don't like when she's overly bitchy!

She also looked lovely tonight!

NOOOOOO!!!!!! That would be the worst thing the could do!

Gavin 18-01-2010 11:44 PM

I detest Davina "Hook Nose" McCall. She is the worst aspect of the show. Every Friday or eviction night, I deliberately have to watch CBB on Sky+ so I can skip the bits which have Hook Nose gurning on our screens.

Her interviews are atrocious. She has a poor interviewing technique, making the interviewee feel uncomfortable.

The best thing about CBB's axing is that she'll be out of a job.

P.S I don't like the way she mocks Christianity on Big Mouth, it's very offensive.

I agree. This is the girl who wanted Lisa BB10 to win. And although easy on the eye is completely thick. Carbon copy of McCall I suppose.

That's right I remember her backing Lisa and all I could think was "How the hell could anyone want that boring bitch to win and actually admit it on TV"???:conf:

NadiasWilly 19-01-2010 01:07 AM

Finally she wore a nice dress tonight! Very sexy and glitzy. Nice shoes too.

Normally she wears some shapeless black binliner thing. Not flattering at all.

She's obviously someone who has always felt a bit too big so sticks to the slimming black always. But it drains her colour and makes her look gaunt. Girl needs colour.

Yet she's clearly a million times the human being you'll ever be, Gav-"Hideous beard"-in!

Angus 19-01-2010 04:59 PM

If there is a God, (and Stevie B says there is!) noone will give that chav bitch a job.She has to be the worst presenter ever (with the possible exception of George Lamb) and the only good thing about BB ending is that I won't ever have to watch the ugly, trashy, gurning cow again on my telly.

CapShar 19-01-2010 05:01 PM

Davina is a legend! We'd take her over Julie Chan any day of the week and twice on evictions.

If another channel picks up BB then I'd like to see them pick up Davina too.

If not then I'd pick Alex Zane to present. I don't know if he likes BB or not but he is very funny and has the kind of energy needed to pull it off.

Yeah I also hate it when she wears her hair back, her face is too big, her hair down is nicer

Chenbot lol she's just too much of a robot for my liking, she presents Big Brother USA the way you'd expect someone to present the news!

At least Davina connects with the viewer, I just hate her bitchy interviews!

realitynut 21-01-2010 02:10 AM

Yeah her interviewing skills are atrocious sometimes,especially when she fawns all over the bullies but picks on the weaker quieter ones -the way she fawned all over Kris,Karly and Lisa from last year and wouldn't even let the big mouth audience give them the grilling they deserved or ask them the questions we really wanted them to answer but she joined in with the nasty treatment of Rachel who basically got picked on by Davina for been picked on by the housemates yet that lowlife Lisa [bb10] got treated like royalty and everyone had to suck up to her cos Davina said so -CHAVVY bully loving Davina but for me its embarrassing to watch seeing as she's a 41 yr old woman married with two kids trying to act all street and trying [too hard] to be down with the kids and all that sucking up to the baddies is so embarrassing to watch it actually makes me cringe -no wonder the show has gone downhill with the viewers with her acting all fake and hideous -Five yrs ago she was great ,i loved her but now i can't abide her and her fakeness.

Shasown 21-01-2010 02:19 AM

Ever think its the producers whispering in her earpieces guiding her through questions etc? She is just a mouthpiece for the BB production team same as Marcus Bentley, except she is given a little lattitude to veer from her scripts. A puppet, albeit a very well paid one. And a tasty MILF to boot.

realitynut 21-01-2010 02:24 AM

Its a shame that she's changed so much and she has changed for the worse,sadly -I'm not knocking her presenting skills although even these days she overdoes it a little with the gurning but her interviewing skills are terrible and i don't like her on BBBM cos thats what i think ihas ruined her -if she could go back to how she was in the early days she'd be great but i feel that SHE'S changed within herself too much.
Steve Jones may be alright doing big mouth as he's naturally funny and knows how to be neutral and he would let people have their say without interupting anyone like Davina does and he's quite hot as well.

Brekkie 21-01-2010 01:38 PM

I don't think she has changed - it's the viewers expectations which have changed. They now believe it's their right to see the evictee lynched by the mob upon exiting the house and then interrogated by the SS about their behaviour, rather than realising that it's all just simple a TV show and like them or loathe them, you need to show the evictees some respect for subjecting themselves to Big Brother and putting themselves in that situation purely for our entertainment.

MojoNixon 21-01-2010 01:39 PM

You'd think the fact that critics call it 'trash TV' and 'dumbed-down TV' that she would stop treating lowlives like royalty and calling them 'great housemates'!

And I agree with you about Karly, Kris and Lisa! I was pissed off Davina said on the BB website that Kris should have stayed longer and on the finale night trying to persuade Sophie to take him back! She gave that little tramp Karly such an easy ride and gave her a 2nd interview the next week after her 'hardman' boyfriend quit. And her love for Lisa was sickening! The odd thing is that Davina actually had me feeling sorry for Bea - even though I hated Bea, I couldn't understand why she was the only bully to get grilled when the other bullies got off scott free! Maybe it was a class thing, as Karly, Kris and Lisa were common so Davina could relate to them more than snotty Bea!

Rachel wasn't my choice of winner but Davina should have respected the fact that people voted her the winner and not asked her if she was going to give the money to charity WTF!

She was also very nasty about other nice but quiet housemates like Maysoon (BB9) and Tom (BB10), coz they quit and didn't like the chavvy housemates she loved!

I agree with you on everything you said there and just think if she was totally impartial to all the HM's and stopped fawning over the nasty ones and stopped acting so chavvy 24/7 she would be okay.

The way she acts she isn't doing much to stop those critics calling the show trashy and low rent when she acts in the very same manner which is a shame cos there was a time when she was naturally funny without been OTT and bitchy -I do agree with you though she definetely seems to favour the nasty bitchy diva phoneys to the less confident ones who are not bothered about getting airtime for the sake of it.

As for her trying to het Sophie and Kris back together that was embarrassing and awkward to watch and how she also fawned all over Bex Luke Jen and Sylvia [BB9] also made me feel like throwing up ,then she went on to have a go at Rachel and treated Luke and Bex like royalty at the final ,didn't even tell Luke off for been so nasty to her -oh no you could see she was more or less encouraging him and even made snide digs herself -I really felt sorry for Rachel -if i was her i think i'd have slapped Davina and Luke cos they treated her like dirt and i was angry just watching it.

jet 22-01-2010 01:46 AM

She's a slut on BBBM. So vulgar. I wouldn't like her kids to ever watch the show. She is great at interviewing the evicted HM's, but total crap on BBBM!

Totally agree with you there Jet,about her been such a vulgar slut on BBBM.

I'm not at all straighy laced/stuck up or narrow minded and yeah a bit of flirty fun,banter is great but she has to take it to the extreme and she just makes me feel sick with her crude, crass vulgar slapper ways and how she goes OTT trying to look sexy when she starts dancing -if anything she looks far too suggestive its more scary than seductive and no wonder she doesn't want her kids seeing BB or the spin of shows -they'd probably die of embarrassment at how pathetic and how chavvy she is -no wonder big mouth hasn't got as many viewers with her hosting and all that gurning.

CaudleHalbard 24-01-2010 01:15 AM

She makes herself look ridiculous on BBBM. Who the hell does she think she's fooling?

Davina is 42 not 22 and "getting down with the kids" makes for embarrassing viewing. :(

She's not fooling anyone only her stupid self and thats why its so embarrassing

Her biased attitude towards or against if she don't like someone is also pathetic seeing as she's the host and is meant to be objective and impartial but whats really bad is she is always FOR the shites and for me that doesn't say anything too good about her as a person -The woman is just an old slapper and a phoney.
