Default Brian Dowling

Had a whole 2 series of him now, are you keen on his presenting?

Unfortunately Im not, he cant speak to the house well and he comes across wooden when talking to us. He aint bad at interviewing though (which is why he should have been on BOTS).

Keep or rid?

He rushed through the final tonight and I didn't really feel like we got any actual info from the finalists in their interviews at all.

Bit of a moot point really, he's already said he's back for CBB next year.

At least he,s fluent in English even if half the under thirties can only grunt to communicate and can,t understand him. Lets face it Davina (Million pound drip) can't string two sentences together.

I think he's more suited to BOTS.

Emmas interviews are always better and she comes across more professional & serious, get her on the main show.

I think he did well considering the verbal dexterity of the bottom-feeders he was interviewing tonight. The Jay interview was like watching someone pull teeth.

I thought he was quite good in cbb. But this may have been just because he was new and not davina(who I couldnt stand towards the end)

But he has been dreadful for the main series :/

I think you might as well keep him as main presenter, I like Emma on BOTS, she fits the role better and if we had her as a main host we'd only get to see her about half an hour a week whereas atm she's on screen for nearly an hour almost every night

Agreed, his questions are very vague and based on surface level observations.

I think if they're trying to make their own image for the show, they'd be foolish to change him, they may as well just give him the chance to develop his own style.

I think once a week would suit her better with the baby.

He got more camp as the show went on making it even more into a trashy TV comedy show.
