No it was wage bracket.

That baffled me, what does how much I earn have to do with what I choose to watch on TV ?

advertisers would rather target high earners with plenty of disposable income instead of low earners or inbreds on benefits who won't buy something thats advertised because they have no money

the TV industry is just adverts but with programmes inbetween the adverts to make sure the right people are watching the adverts. its not programmes with adverts inbetween.

Good point.

It really did baffle me why this question was asked.

How obvious is the answer though...

I know...Shame on me...

I really wanted to know what questions they were going to ask me.

He said it kind of half joking, he kind of meant hopefully that many people are watching. of course he knows the ratings.

The show was steadily losing viewers last week - shows he never appeared on.

It's at least two weeks since he said "justsaying" and in that last show he only said it once.

His post and he's dead right Brian IS a rubbish presenter, far worse than the Divine Davina - and SHE was dire!

In MY opinion Brian is much better than Davina. He's a better presenter, he's better with the audience, he's better at the interviews and he actually watches the show.

Just because you like him you don't have to delude yourself

The most ridiculous part of that post is saying Brian is better with the crowd. He has no connection with them at all. I've lost count the amount a times he's tried cracking a joke then turned to the crowd and got no response.

I loved Brian as a hm but as a presenter he is terrible.

I'm not deluding myself. I've seen tweets from people who were in the crowd saying how much they enjoyed seeing him. He's also often interracting with the crowd in other ways as well as joking with them. There was even a banner with his name on it in the crowd last night!

Crap presenter my arse - hes about the best thing this show has to offer now.
If Davina was so bloody good -ratings wouldnt have dwindled to an all time low at channel 4 that they had to cancel it - just like her rubbish chat show.

Quite right. If she was that good Million Pound Drop would have beaten BB hands down last night, but it didn't.

Did the banner say "Get Brian Off"

A presenter is hardly ever the problem. MPD isn't doing well because the format has lost its novelty and BB is doing badly because its rubbish. But Brian is terrible and has to be one of the worst presenters on TV. If they wanted a presenter that last presented a big show in 2002 then they could have still picked someone who is a lot better than him like Sarah Cawood, Zoe Ball, Katy Hill or someone like that. Brian takes scraping the barrell to a whole new level

I agree. I much prefer him to davina (in the later years). Though I do think davina watched the show too

People dont watch shows for the presenters though...

[starry]

He's basing much of what he does on Davina McCall anyway, so it's hard for anyone to say he is far better than her. The interviews (now they don't seem to be rushed) seem ok but I still don't like him addressing the audience and the house.
