Briand Dowling was the perfect HM for me, entertaining but in a funny way, and still being a nice person. That's a rarity in Big Brother

I cant agree with you on that one. Brian was pretty poor as a presenter and that probably tainted a lot of peoples view on him, as a housemate he was about as good as they come he was fair friendly and just about the funniest guy you could ever get. I had reservations about him doing ultimate BB but he proved again how fantastic he was he really was great.

Its a shame he didnt manage to translate what he has into been host of BB because if he had he would be a ratings winner but it just didnt work for whatever reason.

Yeah, I agree with all of that. Things may have turned out different for him had Emma taken the live show first day and he did BOTs. I hate that it's kind of ruined the memory of how great a HM he was
