Does Everyone really think Emma is going to make that big a Difference?
 

She comes across like a Clone Davina to me, who has the later day davina habit of loving the fake romances and shown favouritism towards her Favourite's.

Yes she is 100 times more qualified than Brian.

She hasn't even missed an episode of BB since it first started.

We need a true fan and as much as I loved Brian as a housemate his presenting skills weren't up to scratch.

I partly blame his wardrobe crew for making him wear suits that were way to small for him, he couldn't ****ing move making him look extremely rigid and awkward.

We went to an eviction during CBB8 and he had camel toe of the bum crack.

He just didn't seem comfortable with the job and Emma is a natural.

She'll make the show seem a bit more fresh, but if the series is bad, it will be bad with or without her.

Can't see how people are actually asking this question. Of course she will... For a starter she can read autocoue with sounding like Siri.

Actually I think that's an insult to Siri.

She's got as many faults as Brian has. I feel many of you ignore these

I have my doubts,from what I have seen of her. I do really like her but she comes across as a better co-host than a main host.

She is prone to digressing off the main points and allows her own favouritism to take over as to certain housemates,plus also her near obsession with romances in the house as was said above, that is not professional presenting.

I will be happy to be proved wrong though if she does do it really well, if only for the future of BB.

Emma is a amazing presenter if she makes a mistake she can turn it around and make it funny like davina did she is million time's better than brian

I agree with you, Also a some people are looking to her,(not necessarily on here), to be the same as Davina was.
I neither think she would want to be a near duplicate of someone else or that she even can be.
So I can see a good number of BB fans likely going to be diappointed as to that.

We will find out soon enough but I am not convinced she will be the best host for the job, will wait and see though as a bit mean otherwise to condemn her before she has had a chance to ease into the role. Not even sure this BB will hold my interest, but willing to give it a chance and see what improvements if any have been made, and to see if we get a good mix of housemates. We really need more live feed, not just a tease of live feed.

She will be fresh, she is more seasoned and more skilled, not to mention, I think the audience will warm to her more, just as we all did with Davina.

I don't want her to be a Davina clone, but it's inevitable people are gonna liken her to Davina. God help her if she wears black, everyone will be on her back.

I hated Davina, and Emma will be better than her.

No. She laughs through all her lines.

I know she's a fan but so was Brian. I think she's got a good personality but don't think she's actually such a good presenter. She often fluffs her lines and does show favouritism.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't think it will be too long before people are complaining about her presenting style.

Er, no.

She'll make it less awkward viewing

Yeah.

Hated Davina with a passion.

Well let's put it this way, the vast majority did.

I liked Davina as a presenter but often felt let down by her interviews and she always favoured housemates that I couldn't stand. . . I hope Emma's favourites are better. Davina was brilliant though with her little soundbites all the time, kept us all hooked.

I hope shes different on the main show to what she was on BOTS. All she ever did was giggle and fawn over her personal favourites :/

I agree with what Vicky said above, I hope she takes her presenter role on the main show a bit more seriously.

I was pissed off when she got the job tbh and thought I would prefer anyone to her but now I'm looking forward to seeing how she handles her new role and hoping that she's a big improvement on Brian, I do still have some doubts though and I really don't want her to be trying too hard to be Davina, she needs to be herself and put her own stamp on it, someone said in another thread that they are slightly similar anyway and I can see that too so I suppose there will be little things she does that reminds people of Davina but hopefully she doesn't go out of her way to make that happen.

Davina should come back.

Indeed, People will constantly compare her to Davina if she tries to hard to be like her and will hate her for it. She needs to try her own thing

its about production skill, one person does not make a football team and big brother is no different.

Davina is amazing host of BB but I have moved on Its time for emma

Emma at her worst > Brian at his best, this is definitely a step up even she's a train wreck

Davina was great up to BB6 after that Makosi interview her downfall began.

After that she could never hide her favouritism towards Housemates and her hatred i.e Rachel BB9 and Nadia on UBB (who was her favourite Housemates just cause she told the truth about JJJ). Plus her love for fake romances started to grind. Plus by BB9 you could see she gave up on watching the show. She should have left after BB8 for me.

Yes. BB IMO is a woman's show. In having a guy present doesn't fit right. Emma is going to trample all over Brian's small legacy as a presenter.

I liked Davina but the last 3 series she did were terrible, her eviction interviews were really bad and by the time it went to Channel 5,I was glad to see the back of her.

I think sadly, Emma is actually going to more than likely disappoint rather than impress.
For BBs future though as I said earlier, I hope she can do enough,despite my many doubts.

She was bloody awful because she clearly didn't watch or care for the show simply she was getting paid a ton of money and seen as it was her only gig at the time. She hung in when she should have stepped away.

I just don't like the young 'un's on here saying she's going to save the show, she's not that great people. She needs to get away from any Davina tics and be her own woman, if not she's not going to be memorable.

I'm not saying Emma is going to be Big Brother's saving grace, but I think she's going to do a good job. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, I want her to own the show, put her own stamp on things.

I think people will warm to her as a presenter, personally I don't think she'll be as stiff as Brian was, she'll be more natural as she's a more seasoned presenter.

That's only because of Davina. If Dermot presented from day one then it might be a completely different story. Brian just wasn't right for the job, I see why they made the decision to have him as the main presenter, but he didn't do it justice at all.

Doing a good Job isn't enough, she has to knock it out of the park. She has to for me to want to be the best presenter BB has ever had. What I've seen of her she's happy to be Davina's Clone and do the exact same thing's Davina did badly in her later years. I hope she proves me wrong but I'm just not convinced by her.

Brian seriously needed a co host (maybe Emma would have been perfect), it was way too much for him and to slag him off is a bit cruel by many people. He wasn't right for the job and should have been given BTOS instead and after a few years then given the main lead job. It was a idea that never paid off sadly but at least they tried.

On paper, Brian was a brilliant idea... the ultimate BB champion, the viewers seemingly loved him enough to vote him winner second time around, therefore having him as the host may entice some people over the channel 5... but he just wasn't right for the job. He just made me uncomfortable.

Regardless of what Emma does, she is going to be likened to Davina, I'm sure of it. Even if she puts her own stamp on things and knocks it out the park as you say, there's ALWAYS going to be the similarities.

Well i stand firm on this ! Until they get screech some voice coaching i am totally unconvinced she will make a good host. Even when she starts talking in a normal tone its not long before Whoops up it goes into shrill !!

If we could swap her voice she'd be fab - her voice drives me insane !!!

all she has to do is present the show and interview the losers. both are things she is already exelllent at doing.
she will be fun and be more enjoyable to watch. but the quality of the show is down to how good the housemates are what the producers do and how its presented. its not down to emma the presenter,

brian was a nice guy but gave me the impression he couldn't care less. and was too camp and cringy at times
davina was lovely and fun but her silly face pulling expressions annoyed everybody and she wasn't good at interviewing people.
emma is better package unless she blows it lol

Emma has many many years of presenting experience and Brian had none. That's the difference. Brian was stiff, awkward, and unnatural. Emma's presenting style is way more relaxed and natural.

She fantastic at interviewing as well, her interviews on BOTS were always 10x better than the main show ones because she actually dug deep and asked the questions viewers were dying to know and didn't make surface level superficial observations and questions like Brian did.

I don't think she'll be up to the job. She often fluffs her lines and laughs far too much.

I don't think Brian did such a bad job. I'm guessing in a few weeks time people will be complaining about Emma's presenting skills. Hope I'm wrong.

Anything is better than Brian's unnecessary campness and horrid presenting skills.

Far better than Brian

Shes a beauty.
