Do you miss Davina yet?
 
Now we've seen Brian do the Launch and 1st Eviction?

I don't like it, live shows feel lacklustre without her. Doubt she ever would now but i'd be happy for her to come back. Oh and I know some people don't like her but you can't deny she brought something to the show that Brian just isn't.

joeysteele 27-08-2011 12:41 PM

No.

james130 27-08-2011 12:49 PM

Yes. Miss her terribley.

Patrick 27-08-2011 12:50 PM

I didn't at launch I was all very 'YEAH ****** THE PAST, NEW BB FOR THE WIN!'

And now after seeing Brian being a fail last night, I miss her.
I openly said to my mum, 'I miss Davina now. :sad:' and she was like 'KAY!'

'Cus she was all pissed off at me for making her spill her wine - because when Sally was evicted, and the music played I like jumped up and screamed 'FOR ****** SAKE!' and she spilt her wine everywhere was like 'WHAT! :shocked:' and I'm like 'They're playing music..'

And she was all :suspect:.

Ramsay 27-08-2011 12:51 PM

I like Brian and all
But i still miss Davina :(

Jarrod 27-08-2011 12:52 PM

Yes. I miss the

'This is Davina, You are live on Channel 4 Please do not swear.. and 'You have 10 seconds to say your goodbyes i'm coming to get you!'

And just Davina in general.

Firewire 27-08-2011 12:57 PM

Miss her completely!

When Brian did his line, it just wasn't the same. I miss "You have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes, I'M COMING TO GET YOU!".

Legend killer 27-08-2011 01:07 PM

Im not gonna lie i fuken hated her but when you see how bad Brian is you realize how much of a miss Davina is

waterhog 27-08-2011 01:12 PM

if anyone had to take over < who better then this man < hes fab

Ninastar 27-08-2011 01:15 PM

no.

Pronshi 27-08-2011 01:20 PM

i miss her sooo badly
brian is ok
but im not gonna lie my and my mum and sis where watching it last night and when he tried to be funny it went all awkward and silent

Novo 27-08-2011 01:23 PM

A bit i can't help but think it feels much cheaper with Brian as the host

BB IS ALIVE 27-08-2011 02:16 PM

I seriously thought I would miss Davina, but now I have got used to Brian, I think he is already comming on in leaps and bounds.

Davina was the only presenter for bb in my mind, until she decided not to return to the show. At that point My mindset changed and I think having Davina back now would just seem wrong.

This is Brian's show now, and I can't wait for him to really get into his stride :hugesmile:

Ammi 27-08-2011 02:18 PM

No, Davina was as irritating as hell. People expect Brian to be as slick in a week as it took Davina years to become, give him a break

CharlieO 27-08-2011 02:53 PM

I miss her more than anything. Thank god I have the entire back catalogue.

But she was Big Mother and she brought so much to the show that Brian just isn't. I doubt she will even watch the show as its not she same show she used to present.
Brian to me makes the show crude, camp and cheap which I'm not particularly enjoying.

Crimson Dynamo 27-08-2011 03:13 PM

No

she was insincere and at times not funny.

she is also a bad radio guest which tells you a lot.

Jords 27-08-2011 03:16 PM

Yeah lots, she really made the live shows.

snookered 27-08-2011 04:09 PM

Dowling ain't got it as a host.

Too smarmy.

bbnut 27-08-2011 05:48 PM

Brians OK, but I really do miss Davina, her passion for the show and her lines.

What was it that Brian even said? I can't remember.

Yeah, I think Brian's doing a good job, but I'm still missing Davina. I think I'm missing her more on the spin-off show than the main job, though.

joeysteele 27-08-2011 06:25 PM

I am with Ammi on this, Davina was really good in the early series, the last 2 to 3 though at least she went downhill massively, it was like her show and more time was taken up by her than the footage at times.

I don't miss her one bit, had this been 2006 and maybe I would have done, but she became stale, her eviction interviews became old pals acts, not relevant to the public opinion whatsoever.

She had definately come to the end of her BB road, it was time to change it from being her show and restore the elements of and refresh the Big Brother idea.That's happening and the show and Brian can only improve from now on.I really believe that.

Chuck 27-08-2011 06:26 PM

I dont miss Davina at all, infact I had totally forgotten about her. However that doesnt mean I'm 100% happy with Brian being the host.

Callum 27-08-2011 06:32 PM

I miss her too :(

JohnnyGuitar 27-08-2011 07:33 PM

Brian is a wooden stick. Miss Davina :(

reece(: 28-08-2011 02:06 AM

it doesn't feel right at all without davina, and when they're shoving marcus down our throats it doesn't help

iRyan 28-08-2011 02:14 AM

I do miss Davina.

I wouldn't have missed her if Emma was presenting though, I love Emma more.

Vicky. 28-08-2011 02:29 AM

Nope. I really couldnt stand her in the last few BBs, she started to grate on me badly :/

I prefer Davina up to around BB6...but Brian> her BB7 onwards

Kerry 28-08-2011 02:36 AM

Nope. Needed to change

Lwize 28-08-2011 02:47 AM

Since I only picked up BBUK in series 10, and didn't know about Davina otherwise, I never grew tired of her -- and do miss her.

Can't have everything, I suppose.

Sophiee 28-08-2011 03:12 AM

sort of. I do sometimes when brian's presenting, I don't think much about it though.

CharlieO 28-08-2011 03:26 AM

To be honest it needed a change. I do miss Davina like crazy but I am glad she didn't do this series because Channel 5 would probably make her lose all credibility like they have done with Marcus.

But the change they made (in my opinion) was the wrong one. Emma should have done the live shows and Brian the spin off. It would work better for scheduling/personal life as well, Emma has kids and a husband, Brian has no children/husband to care for. Emma would be more suited doing one slot a week and shuving (see what I did there) Dowling on the side. Plus Emma is better with making autocue/live shows believable where as Brian is a better people person.

Cool story bro.

I don't miss her.

I'm sure Davina doesn't miss BB either.

Win win.

crocs 28-08-2011 01:56 PM

I think that Brian was doing an ok job. He's no Davina but he wasn't bad either. Davina was great and Brian is different. The only thing that really disappointed me was the eviction interview. He didn't let the evictee answer properly and asked too many questions in a row.

rSlavenx 28-08-2011 02:30 PM

People need to give Brian a break, this is his first series and he's under a lot of pressure from the viewers to impress. He'll get used to it and become less robotic than we see him now.

Marc 28-08-2011 02:39 PM

Yep! Brian is awful

Yeah same I think.

dizzy bint 28-08-2011 03:53 PM

No I don't miss Davina one bit. Brian is fine, better than her in my opinion.

dwarling 28-08-2011 07:34 PM

Yes I really miss Davina...Brian is doing well, but it's just not the true BB without her...and can't stand Emma Willis or her grating bloody voice..
