I'd actually love to watch it again myself, but yeah, not too good with that kind of stuff either :/

Meh I don't think he's amazing but he's not that bad and I don't know who else would do it, Alice struggles as BOTS presenter and Emma is more suited to the spin-off I think, due it to it being more laid-back and informal. If she was the main presenter she'd only be on our screen about half an hour a week as oppose to 5 hours as well so she should stick to BOTS. Can't really think of any others out there who'd be better on the main show, at least Brian is a big Big Brother fan and actually cares about the show

Brian was just sublime on BB2. No surprise he attracted 4.3 Million votes to win. No other BB housemate has matched him in my opinion. Class of his own.

Unfortunately in order to really appreciate Brian in BB2 you need to see a lot of the Live Feed. The highlights show are only a taster.

Thumbs down Re: Brian: Should He Stay or Go?

When he started, I thought it was just nerves that he was so awful and that he would improve, he hasn't, if anything he has got worse imo. So I hope he gets replaced soon.

No way is she coming back. Neither of her shows did as well in the ratings as BB.

He is woeful. He's like a cheap, outdated gay cariacture from a nineteen seventies programme like are you being served. He copies Davina's mannerisms, sh*ts himself when he makes a mistake (the golden rule of "performing" in any way is not letting the audience on to the fact you have made a mistake if possible), and is a nasty, arrogant little bitch as well eg. "ooooh they are booing a lot, aren't they?"

Brian to GO!

I think Brian has done a good job in the circumstances. Davina made it clear she did not return when Channel 5 bought Big Brother and the fact we have seen Celebrity Big Brother defeat The Million Pound Drop on numerous occasions shows that having her back wouldn't have much impact. He is new to presenting and think he should be given a chance. Emma Willis in my opinion worked better with George Lamb. Dermot O'Leary said he may be leaving X-Factor so there may be something there.

I honestly think Brains trouble is that he just isn't that clever of a talker. He loves to talk in general but any time I see him on a tv show it's always either sexual jokes or straight-forward on topic conversation. He just isn't clever enough to make up funny/entertaining banter without it being sexual IMO.

Now Davina, she seems the type that's able to hold a conversation and be funny without resorting to sexual innuendos all the time. That's what always made her a good host.

I really think Emma should take the top spot. I'd hard to judge her based on BOTS really, it's a hole different setting when you don't have to field questions from BB lifers in the crowd all the time.

How is that Davinas problem? BB is bigger than most other shows so will out perform regardless. Funny how eviction nights with Brian tend to do no better / worse in ratings than a normal HL show does.
