Default Is Brian Dowling really that bad?
Just re-watched a bit of BB12, Brian is not even that bad, I mean there are some minor things that could improve but lets put it this way; I've seen worse! *cough x factor usa *cough*

He's not great, but not as awful as people make out. As you said, Steve Jones was much worse on XF USA.

I actually think he's fairly amusing sometimes.

He is cringeworthy, can't interview and his whole 'I'm going to hit on said housemates husband/boyfriend' is ****ing awful.

He is awful. But Big Brother is low-rate TV anyway so they probably couldn't get anyone that much better

I like Brian, I don't think he is bad at all. He does divide opinion but really I never even think of Davina now as to BB series,so bad was she in her last 2 to 3 series,especially eviction interviews.
I am happy with Brian as the presenter.

Not really, it's not like 'Love or Hate him xo' - literally 90% of people want him to ****** off.

Yeah ive seen the camel toe first hand at an eviction.

He does have his good moments but hes just not great. I want a new presenter but i think Channel 5 wouldnt want the media to see it as a failure if they had to change him.

His that bad imo.

And I haven't watched XFUSA so can't comment much on Steve Jones's presenting, but i've seen Brian Dowling and he should be arrested for crimes against presenting.
