Brian Dowling just isn't doing it for me.
 

What a hopeless moron.

He's complete and utter crap at this malarky, a total turn off for me. Get someone with a set,.

And wtf is it with those suits..bahhh..he's spoiling the whole live show in my opinion.

It was always going to be difficult to fit into davina's shoes with such a short break inbetween. Don't be so harsh on him, :nono: He'll losen up in a few week's.

Give him a chance he'll get better! it must be hard taking over this job knowing all the critics (pro and amateur) are watching! they should rid him of the auto cue let him ad lib, i think that would make a huge difference and would suit brian to a t!

I'm not a fan of him either, he's very wooden and struggles with autocue. I really miss Davina, now she's gone you realise how good she was compared to Brian. :(

They should've just got some random hot presenter

He is rubbish

I actually began to cringe in the last 2 series of BB the way Davina did it then, she was good at the start but faded badly in the last 2 to 3 series.
Almost treating it as sort of her own chat show.

Brian is a big improvement on her performances in the last 2 series.

just no

:joker:Hello Zippy, :joker:
well I guess it's no surprise you would disagree with me.

You still liked Davina I didn't,simple as that.We both have our own views on her and Brian.

Totally agree!
Brian is just wooden, and over powering in interviews, it's all about me me me, and he don't shut up

I think he's doing a great job. I thought he was very good on the auto cue last night, he gets better with each show.

Yes, thank you very much for stopping me feeling so isolated.Thank you.:joker:

It shouldn't be all about the presenter anway. There were times in the past when I felt it was becoming the Davina Show.

Brian is competent enough - yes he had his first 'sticky moment' with Tara, but it will be a learning experience.

i still stand by my opinion. get Kate Thornton, or some different presenter, KATE WALSH?! i mean i remember Brian as a camp, hilarious, fun person, but now hes just... wooden, its not working, he was a BB housemate, he should be a BB presenter.

I think his problem is that hes not cut out for autocue...

That said, I really dont think hes anywhere near as bad as people make out. And yes, I prefer him to davina in her 'later' years.

He was an embarrassment last night running out on Tara because he didnt like what she had to say.

I'm pretty sure that someone in his ear told him to do that :rolleyes:

They probably told him to wrap up quickly..

LOL. I can just imagine the person going bazzerk in his ear

'Wrap it up, wrap it up NOW, DAMAGE IS BEING DONE!!!11!!'

Brian was only obeying orders, as they say! ;)

lol, probably, I bet he was freaked out more by whatever his ear piece person was saying then Tara:joker:

Absolutely!

I agree that allowing him to ad lib rather than following script/auto cue would have suited him better. Davina needed that: Brian doesn't - he's got the natural wit and banter: and him having to reign that in, is showing - to his detriment I think.

Besides which: I mentioned on another thread - no one can walk into such a 'coveted' role and be expected to as professional as someone who has done the same role previously for many many years. To expect that: is completely and utterly unrealistic.

I wish to hell he'd shoot his wardrobe assistant.....whoever is picking those suits needs shot. If he's doing it himself: he needs a bit of help as they do not a thing for him.

wish they'd lay off the heavy make up on him - he looks far too done up.
