Before the Grace debacle I would have said 'no'. Now I couldn't care less about her. At one time I seem to remember her bringing some degree of professionalism to Big Brother as a presenter (and before BB6, even as an interviewer too), but there can be no doubt her abilities have been well and truly washed out. Tellingly, as Davina has lurched further and further into middle age, her awkward attempts at self-deprecating slapstick have become increasingly unfunny, theatrical and juvenile.
The only good thing she still had in the last series was enthusiasm for the show. She had more love for Big Brother in her little finger than George Lamb ever had in his insignificant, untalented existence. She didn't even mind leaving herself open to ridicule on other TV shows for singing Big Brother's praises in the weeks running up to BB11. She probably still loved the show more than its purported fans on this forum (including me)... maybe too much.

Didn't he once accidentally sneer his face off?
