I don't mind them having their favorites as long as they usually show all housemates about the same amount in BOTS (which doesn't always happen). I think it would be weird if they could be so impartial that we wouldn't know their favorites. I didn't see any signs of Brian having Denise as his favorite when he was hosting the main show. So if he voices his opinion in BOTS, I don't have a problem with that.
I think the tip-toeing in the Michael interview was due to him being a Hollywood star. I believe Michael has expressed his boundaries on how the interviews should be like and then there's also the fact that they probably knew they wouldn't get that much out of him.
I don't see the interview differences between different people as being caused by bias on Brian's part and by who is his favorite but more as differences between cultures AND personalities. For example, I believe the English celebrities don't have similar type of boundaries when being interviewed as the Americans do. I thought the interviews with the Americans were much more cautious than with the UK celebrities and the Americans were a bit different in the interviews because they KNOW they're on TV at that particular moment and it's being broadcast.
