I think a female presenter is always better for this kind of show because they are generally warmer and more emotionally involved, and they can dress for the occasion as well in accordance with the themes which makes each show seem different. Smaller things make a big difference.

That said, as much as I really like her I hope they don't promote Holly, she doesn't seem suited to that kind of presenting (DOI).

I think XF wanted to try a male presenter seeing as Ryan Seacrest is a big hit over in American Idol and they wanted to see what it'd be like with a male presenter over here, and I think it has backfired on them. I'm not saying Dermot is rubbish but he really doesn't suit hosting a show such as XF and like you said the female presenters are more emotionally involved which makes it more interesting. I hope they bring back Kate for next year, or if not her another female presenter but preferably not someone like Holly Willoughby, Fearne Cotton, Caroline Flack as I don't think they'd suit hosing the main shows.
