I'm surprised the last CBB didn't lose you. It certainly lost me. For the first time I can remember, my favourite to win actually won it, and I still didn't give a toss!

…Brian Dowling just naturally being Brian Dowling and interacting with others on reality shows is amazing…but directly to camera in his presenting it was strange how it didn’t quite work and didn’t feel so natural as Davina or Emma…I think maybe if he’d had a co-presenter back in the day as AJ and Will are now, he may well have had a long presenting run also…mind you, he wasn’t awful either and when I’ve seen him presenting more recently…?…he’s so much more at ease than then, so just needed more time, I think…anyway, on topic……there were a few BB’s that I didn’t follow as well and just lost interest along the way…(…I think…)…that I’ve watched every launch night, though…

Oh he was ****ing awful as a presenter.

CBB is a different category. I watched the first few and then stopped for years. Only got back into on ITV.
