His interviews are better than Davinas but I still find his general presenting crap and he makes me cringe when he talks to the house

He doesn't really have the same enthusiasm or warmth that Davina had

I still like Brian - its his first time presenting this, so he's not going to be perfect

I do however think that he should take on board peoples views, and learn from them & certainly be a little more impartial

I agree he's getting much better. He walks around, climbs the stairs etc all whilst reading the script or that part he has memorised which is very good considering he does all the rehearsals and runs through the script in one day.

I loved his umbrella on Friday and his comment about water proof mascara .

It's a shame that you don't think he has the enthusiasm because he genuinely loves the show and thinks he has his dream job presenting it.

I could tell that when hes on BOTS and throughout the interview, but he seems too rigid and almost scared in his normal presenting to show any enthusiasm

I just think he's still a bit nervous. I think he's warming into it though .

No, no and thrice no!

He has been bloody awful and totally unprofessional
When EVER was Davina biased in any way at all? Never.

Given the choice Davina would be great but I think she's done with it now.
I think Alice could do a reasonable job as she at least has tried to remain neutral

Are you kidding??? Davina was completely biased!

For example, she was completely anti Nadia during UBB and she didn't care who knew it. She said far more in that regard than Brian has ever said about anyone in BB12.

Even as a big Davina supporter, I completely agree. The rot set in for her with the Makosi interview and over the years she became more and more biased. I do miss her but she left at the right time whether or not the series was finishing on Channel 4, they should have just put more thought into the replacement. If BB was still at its peak or continuing on Channel 4, they might have got away with Brian hosting but he's wasn't right for Channel 5's revamp.

No... but definitely not EMMA either, she's awful.

And she'd probably spend half the interview talking about her child.

He doesn't have the same warmth that Davina had. But, he also doesnt have the experience on such a hugh tv show. BUT -that doesnt nessescarily mean he isnt good enough - to me, he seems like the perfect choice after Davina. Davina had experience, whereas Brian has Experience in been in the House and knowing what its like. I think he should carry on as presenter!

Hated Davina and her stupid squealing. Thought Brian would be better but hes probably even worse! Think Emma would be a good shout though.

No. I haven't warmed to him AT ALL this year. I purposely wait to watch a live show so I can fast forward him

I would rather of had Emma

I like Brian, just not at presenting BB... Emma Willis would be MUCH better on the main show

Brian's interview with Faye was bad. As the presenter he kept saying "we all thought" when we obviously didn't all think Aaron/Faye was bad. He should keep his personal opinions to himself and stop trying to sway the public. I probably won't be watching next year though as i think Brian and BOTS have been very anti some people.

I think Claudia Winkleman would do a fantastic job. I really don't want to see Brian in the next series.

Lucyann I couldn't agree with you more. I was not impressed with Brian talking on my behalf. It is one thing to have your own opinion but quite another to say that is what everyone thinks.

To be fair I think he's come a long way since he first started, I used to just feel uncomfortable watching him and he seemed to be trying way too hard, I think he's settled in more now and he's more natural with everything

Claudia winkleman would be great at this job! But she probably can't contractually work on channel 4 as she's with the beeb obviously
