Does your remote have an off button ?

Why should I turn off my favourite tv show because that orange mess can't present?

Well, Davina had presenting experience before she started as well and it still took her a while to settle into the new role :hugesmile:

I didn't say he is the sole reason, theres a few and he's a big one of them because it all looks so unprofessional.

Davina had presenting experience but shes a naturally good presenter so whilst she did take a while to fit into the role, she was still competent and didn't look like a rabbit caught in headlines. Channel 5 should never have relaunched BB with an amateur presenter who needs time to fit into the role because they've only got one chance for a first impression, more so with a brand like BB that was failing anyway. And after 10 years Brian has shown no promise as a presenter. He's always been crap and as a result of that he's presented next to no programmes that have registered on the publics radar.

My thoughts entirely. I find him slightly wooden - at times you can tell he's reading an autocue.

I also can't believe that he kept pronouncing 'Aden' with an R - a professional presenter would know how to pronounce contestants' names correctly. Emma, Alice, Jamie, Marcus had no problem with it.

wooden.
and interactions with family and friends of housemates etc is at times cringey (because of the woodeness).

No, I don't think he has worked well, Everytime the eviction show comes it just makes me miss Davina more and more

Think he's an awful presenter and I hope they give Emma the main show hosting gig next year. His ad libbing is awful and I don't even know where to begin with his auto cue skills.

although Brian is not as good as Davina in presenting

he's ten times better than davina at interviews.

and that's what counts.


loving your work, Brain.

He's alright like

reece(: 18-10-2011 08:42 AM

he's a terrible presenter

CaudleHalbard 18-10-2011 10:06 AM

He's done a competent enough job.

Well enough to make me say "Davina Who?" ;)

exoticrosebud 18-10-2011 10:25 AM

total rubbish, hes not strong enough in the interviews and lets the crowd run away with the show. but then again, i cant stand the davina person with all her facial grimaces ...but after this years performance, dont think there will be another one. so Brian..make the most of it!

dyfed 18-10-2011 11:11 AM

I wasnt sure I was going to like Brian over Davina,but he is head and tails better then her,just wish we saw more of him,why can't he replace the red head on bit on the side,....we need to see more of Brian,he is so funny.
What on earth is 'camp"?anyway Brian all the way for me..

Benjamin 18-10-2011 12:08 PM

I really cannot adjust to Brian. He makes so many mistakes and feels so wooden when presenting the eviction shows and interviewing the housemates. I loved him in BB but this role should not have been given to him.
