I don't think he sucks. He did a great job last night. Nowhere near as good as Davina, but did a lot better than I expected.

He isn't too horrible but nothing in comparison to Davina.

Are you actually serious? He has done 1 live show and i think he did great! Can't be easy doing a live show for the 1st time, Davina had like 10 years experience

Brian did well and he had a hard act to follow. He seemed nervous but I feel he is going to get better as the show goes on. I wouldn't judge him on one night.

He got better when he got over the nerves. I like it when he just chats normally rather than reading his script, he's not quite got the hang of autocue yet. Davina made her script sound more natural and spontaneous.
Even though people may have hated her shouting, gurning and being biased she was a very good presenter.

I think after about 20mins into the show Brian was great, im sure as the series goes on he will be brilliant, i wish people would stop comparing him to Davina she had years of experience doing BB, it was Brian first time doing the show, i think everyone show cut him a bit slack.

He was great.

Don't forget Davina had an easy start. New show with no expectations in 2000. Much more daunting for Brian but he pulled it off well.

Truth is Brian did a clinical job of presenting. Almost any tom dick and harry presenter would have been as good. Thus far he lacks the quality of producing atmosphere and genuin ad libs that show personality and enthusiasm.

He has a long long way to go before deserving the praise of doing a good job......Just clinical and quite boring.......Time will tell if he gains personality with experience.

I still believe they could have done far better than choosing a poser for presenter......Posing like the housemtaes is his biggest problem and will annoy many......

He seems to be doing much better tonight. He seems much more at ease. Some of the comments he has made have been really funny. Especially the one about the temper tantrum.
