I can't wait until he's replaced. Dreadful

I don't suppose this will mean much to most of you but his style is very comparable to Andrew Neil (This Week BBC2 Thursday ).
Both struggle to be funny but fail even with scripted material; some people just are funny without trying,others just cannot do it.
These two are in the latter group.

i like him, but he isnt funny he camps it up too much for me. yes your gay we get it yes you won bb we get it. its not funny but he uses both things far too much.
he is much better on bbots . and a better interviewer than divina

shame we have to put up with his dribble all might and adverts and hardly any footage then rushed interviews. wish they'd just show the normal show then do the live thing after in one go properly

He isn't unwatchable but I never find myself caring what he says. I always used to enjoy Davina's comments and excitement.

My biggest dislike of Brian is he doesn't even try and control the crowd, I know he doesn't have much control over them but Davina seemed to keep them generally sweet and if a housemate got boos and seemed effected she would make the hm aware it was panto and stay with them. Brian doesn't seem to care, he's more interested in his next line.

Same here Ammi. I just love having him on my TV, after BB2 and UBB ended I was disappointed I wasn't going to see him on my screen anymore

I find him quite funny, when presenting though he has a schedule and likely lines to follow as others have said so he is tied as to his humour there.

On bbbots he is often hilarious,as he is too when guesting on other shows.
I still rate him highly as presenter of BB and anyway I really like the guy anyway.He's one of the good ones.
