Default Brian Dowling

I thought he was really really good at interviewing Rebechah last night, there were few times Rebeckah tried to change the subject, but Brian may her back track & got the answers he wanted to the question, i think he done a better interview than Davina did in the last couple of series of BB.

What does everyone else think.

I think he is doing great now, I much prefer his eviction interviews than Davina's. I am really impressed with him.

Brian Dowling has earned his post I reckon. I have to admit, as much as I liked Davina, her routine had begun to tire these past few years.

He was great. Except for pushing the fake romance thing, even after shes out. But I imagine he was told to do that

Still prefer Davina I think. It just doesn't sound right when he says, "Big Brother house, this is....Brian"

He's improved but he'll never be better than Davina.

Completely ignoring the fact he fluffed and flustered at the end of the interview. Selective Brian fan memory perhaps!!!!!!

Brian does an ok clinical job of interviewing but lacks the atmospheric interaction ability of Davina.

On the whole he has done better than I thought he would and maybe experience will make him better.......Assuming CH5 do another series......

With no live feed ratings will sink and this may well be the very last BB

This is how Marcus pronounces it and Marcus tweeted that that was how Aden said he wanted it pronounced. Perhaps that is how they pronounce it behind the scenes.

I think Brian does a really good job, really professional and he is even well dressed in those suits. With Davina it was way way more casual.

Apologies for quoting myself but Marcus just tweeted this:

I quite like him, but i wish he would stop asking the house mates how the "vote to save" played a role in their eviction and how they feel about it.
We get it OK, ch 5 vote to evict, ch 4 vote to save. Its hardly a breaking news story anymore. Stop pointing out that the show used to be different and own it already.

I could hardly watch Davina's eviction interviews in the last 2 series of BB, she totally often ignored the real reasons someone had been evicted and it became like an old pals chat rather than interview.Many imprtant questions never put to them.

Brian did much better and thankfully kept pressing Rebeckah too, a good interview and he got a fair few viewers points over too.
I do agree Emma was good interviewing her too on bbbots.

Terrible host, too camp and over the top on the live shows. Credit where credit's due, he does a good job at the eviction interviews and getting a lot out of the housemates but I just prefer Davina, she was much better at hosting the show.

I disagree. Watch Alan Carr and a few more and Brian could be called ' straight '

Still rubbish, always egging on the audience like "do we think???" and interrupting housemates. Much preferred Davina
