Im already over Emma being new to the job she handled it as well as anybody would have done she has slipped into the role perfectly.

[the truth]

totally bottled it and lost control with the sub human sally

[Dash Darington]

She did as well as anyone could have with someone acting like a mental patient on the stage.

Emma did great it was hard because she had 2 housemates

[MTVN]

Felt she was a bit out of her depth tbh

[Jamesy]

I thought she did great.

She did tell Sallie to shut up a few times. Emma kept her cool quite well with her! Given this was Emma's first interview and she was given a very difficult housemate to interview (plus the loud crowd did not help) she handled it as good as possible. I have no complaints really.

Davina had some pretty difficult interviews during her time. So it's no different to that. Emma stayed very professional and didn't whack Sallie one so I can only commend her for that.

Just imagine it this way, Brian would have been a wreak managing that interview! If anything I blame the audience outside. The studio audience are told to only cheer and be nice, why can't the outside audience be told to do the same during interviews?

She did ok. Sallie was being difficult though (surprise surprise)
She still did better than Brian!

[Dash Darington]

I would've either told Sallie to shut up already, or taken her by the arm and marched her off the stage during Michael's interview. That's probably why I'm not a television presenter.

Emma handled a bizarre situation with as much grace as anyone could have. People are only second-guessing her because she's new to the main show.

LOL

Brian had been in the job two years yet still looks clueless in that interview. I admire you for trying to find a good Brian interview but trust me there weren't any.

[Patrick]

She handled it very well - I do think she was wrong though for telling Sallie to mind her language when she told the crowd to ****** up.

The crowd were more annoying than Sallie was.

[GiRTh]

I thought she did very well. She only lost any control due to the bizarre decision to include Sallie in Michael interview. Maybe Emma could have been a bit firmer with Sallie but its not her job to criticise the contestants. Sallie wouldn't shut up even at questions that had nothing to do with her. Not much Emma could have done about that.

[CaudleHalbard]

Brian would have run away screaming like a little girl and Davina would have started gurning to the cameras!

Emma did well in difficult circumstances.

[Maxy]

Not very good, Sallie walked all over her.

How did she walk all over her?

[CaudleHalbard]

I've just watched the interview again, on D5. I think Emma handled it much better than Brian or Davina would have done.

Brian was pretty crap - and don't forget Davina's interview technique also used to come in for endless criticism on here.

Also remember that Emma would have had the producers yelling in her earpiece. They probably felt it made compelling watching and the last thing the producers would want was for it to be cut short.

I think she was fine, for a first interview as well.

I don't know where people are getting "she showed she didn't like Sallie" from. I don't know whether she personally did or she didn't but in the interview she was very fair to her, gave her a chance to speak but when someone's going off on tangents and won't allow someone else their time to speak then they need to be told to shut up.

As do the crowd really, but no doubt they have people encouraging the crowd to be as vile as possible. But at least they closed the door on the eye.

I thought she did well Sallie isnt good to interview for what I saw.
