Default Would Brian Dowling have been better on BOTS?

He got a lot of flack during his hosting time but I noticed interviews were his strong point back when he was a part of the show. The reason I bring this up is I only have ten more days of BB13 left, and I noticed that he was very precise in the awful ways that Becky and Conor behaved and a week before this he was exceptional with Caroline while she went completely unhinged in her interview. BOTS is mostly to do with Rylan interviewing people/the panel about what their opinions on the housemates are and an interview with evicted housemates, and also BOTS is intended to have a more comical approach to the show, and Brian's hosting was intentionally hammy too. So would he have served better on a more confined show where you hear from multiple people rather than the show where you're the one main speaker about everything going on? Would he have still received some backlash for BOTS? Or would it have been better if he hosted it? Or do you think he shouldn't have hosted at all?

I liked Brian as host of the main show anyway.
As for BBBOTS,had he been given that first,I'm sure he'd have progressed as Emma did to the main show.

He's my all time favourite housemate anyway and I think he was treated badly.

He's a massive part of BB,a double winner too and it's sad he has no part in it now.
I really like Brian.

I think BOTS would definitely have suited him more as he's more off the cuff rather than reading lines so much. Shame

And plus his OTT side only came out in the live hosting from the nerves with the big crowd and all the pressure. I'm sure a smaller studio like BOTS would've livened him up more

If he were on BOTS instead of the main show, I think my opinion would suit him better as a host, simply because BOTS is his style...

Regardless still VERY overrated as a housemate in general...

Literally go to town right now, stand in the middle of the highstreet, close your eyes, spin around, and point. Then stop spinning and open your eyes. I guarantee the person your pointing at would make a better host than Rylan.
