Wanna know what Dermot thinks? You'd better read this...

Big Brother simply wouldn't be Big Brother without everyone's favourite Little Brother presenter, Dermot O'Leary. And he may be, like, the busiest man in TV right now, but he still managed to squeeze little old us in to his kerazy schedule...

iBB - We're over half way through, are you enjoying it?

Yeah, I am. I've really enjoyed it. I saw a picture of Shabnam the other day and Lesley and I thought 'Oh my...' I can't fathom that it's the same series that we're on now.

iBB - What do you think about Chanelle walking out today?

I was heartbroken, not literally, but she was one of my favourites and I wanted her to be in the final four. For me, being a great housemate is about going on a journey and she has been on a journey and I liked it in the last couple of weeks when she turned around and said 'do you know what? I don't wanna be Posh Spice anymore. I wanna be me'.

iBB - Are you rooting for 'Team Chanelle' more than 'Team Ziggy'?

It's difficult at the moment. I know that Ziggy's kind of messed up in the last couple of days, but I bought in to the 'Chiggy' romance and he seemed like a really nice, down to earth, genuine guy. It just seemed like he'd gone in, found this girl, really liked her and then realised that he'd probably got in a bit too deep and then found himself in a bit of an awkward situation. I kinda felt for him -- I don't think he's a really bad guy, I don't think he's a player. He's not a bad person, he just didn't played it well.

iBB - Can you see any other couples forming?

I'd like Liam to get together with someone. He seems like a nice guy. But I can't see him getting together with Amanda and I suppose that she's the only viable option.

iBB - Kara-Louise and David are in the House now, what do you think of them?

I see David... but I struggle with Kara-Louise because I haven't seen that much of her personality yet and Amy and Shanessa seem to be quite big characters.

iBB - Which of the other halfway housemates do you find interesting?

I'm interested in Jonty, I'd like to see more of him and I am quite interested in Amy. Shanessa would be another Kinga I think and maybe we need that. But it's not dead for them yet, is it?

iBB - What has been your favourite moment so far?

Give me a montage of Brian. Brian I've loved. It's really difficult to just pick out one. Brian thinking there was a ghost in the camera run I loved. The twins in their words saying they were 'psychopathic' I loved that!

iBB - What has been the most jaw-dropping moment?

Watching Shanessa do that strip tease! I couldn't believe it. It was just wasn't very nice... she was just falling over them.

iBB - Which BB8 housemate do you miss?

Hmm, good question. I think we could have seen more from Seány and I would have liked to have seen what would have happened to Emily is she hadn't of, err, said that. She was an interesting character I think.

iBB - What's the best trick Big Brother has pulled?

I really enjoyed FAKE week. If Charley was up for eviction it wouldn't matter if they said that she was going to a 5 star hotel - everyone must have been thinking, 'if I get the chance to boo her, then I'm going to boo her!'

iBB - Which housemate are you most looking forward to meeting?

I'm looking forward to meeting Chanelle. Charley was great -- she was probably the interview of the series... and I guess Brian and Gerry.

iBB - Can you tell us any secrets that Big Brother has in store?

Do you honestly think I know?! I don't know anything, they don't tell me anything. We get to know stuff really last minute - it's quite frustrating.

iBB - And finally, who do you think is going to win?

That's probably why this series is one of the best, because up until a week or so ago, no one had a clue who was going to win and people were making really out there predictions. But now I think it will take a miracle for Brian not to. I think it will go Brian, Liam.I would have said Chanelle... I think something is going to happen with the twins, it has to. I love the twins, but they don't stand up for anyone in any arguments. And there are some really nasty arguments in there and I just think 'say something and you could become my favourite person in the House,' because they are pure of heart and that's an important thing for a winner to be. But for me, the twins don't bring enough to the party.

So I'll go -- Brian, Liam, Gerry -- Gerry is a great housemate, I think Carole will fade, she's great, but she moans a lot. So Brian, Liam, Gerry and one of the twins, that's my final four!

iBB says a big thank you. 'You're welcome' Dermot smiles, before giving iBB a big hug. iBB gets all giddy, giddy.

Never!? Fancy Dermot saying Brian... (!)

[xDramatick]

I love what he said about Seany&Emily.
I'd have said the exact same.

[dupin]

Well that's the impartial, unbiased Mr O'Leary for you...

[Bunter]

he likes all the people that I don't.

[Matt]

Nice interview, is there a link to it?

[Princess]

Thanks for that! I really like Dermot.

[bananarama]

He has to say Brian. Part of the drip drip brainwashing agenda of BB.

[iem]

good insight into what dermot is thinking about this years housemates

[Firewire]

iBB Isn't Working

[Wasted]

SHOCK; Dermot mentioned "the journey" garbage he spouted last year about Glyn, but he wasn't talking about Brian!

And they forgot to ask if he was going to propose. But he didn't last year (shockingly) so I guess they're assuming he won't this year.

Nice interview by Dermot. No matter what he said in that interview I still think he is bias and he only says what Endemol and Big Brother thinks and doesnt say his own opinion. Its so wrong!!!!!. He wont say his own opinon as then he knows he wouldnt get his pay check. Dermot stand up for yoruself and be a REAL man for once in your life. Stupid man!!!!!.

I agree with him saying Brian should win though as Brian deserve to win as he is really nice, genuine guy and doesnt bitch about anyone or cause trouble. I think the twins are like Brian too and I want both the twins to win but I know they cant both win and I cant choose between them both as I love them both. So I am going to go with Brian to win .
