My explanation is as follows:
Davina is a poor presenter, often neglecting to ask the evictee the questions she was briefed on, as is evident when she becomes distracted via her earpiece, which is clearly the producer telling her what to do. She also speaks over the evictee, interrupting them at every opportunity, which rathers takes the emphasis away from them whilst directing it at her. She also has a large ego, made bigger through her own hype.
When taken out of the BB setting and permitted to do her own show, the end result was a flop.
ITV noticed this, and, despite Dermots subordinate position on BBLB, was awareded presenter of X Factor 2007, replacing Kate Thornton.
This was clearly the correct decision as Dermot is a skilled presenter, who knows just what is, and isn't, ''enough'' in terms of allowing people to speak, plus articulating the show he presents cleary and interestingly to the viewer at home.
He is a very good presenter in my opinion, much better than Davina, and much more effective than he is given credit for.
Simon Cowell sees his potential, and this was a wise move indeed.
I suspect Davina is boycotting BB at the moment due to embarrassment at not gaining ITV's attention and her desperate (but probably failed) attempts at breaking America.

So Davina hasn't had many hits since her presenting debut back in the early 90's? Its only in the past year or so that she has started to fail. She hasn't attempted to break America yet, and ITV go through phases of their primetime Saturday presenters. Davina was one of them between 2001 and 2004, succeeded by Cat Deeley who was succeeded by Kate Thornton.
Dermot is an appalling presenter. He interrupted Jade far too much and I'm no fashion expert but his dress sense is ridiculous. He didn't speak to the house properly with authority in the way Davina did and failed to acknowledge what Jade wanted to say, but rushed through the interview. He didn't even tie the interview up properly. When on BBLB, his personal preferences get in the way far too much. He shouldn't be allowed to present the main BB. I know Davina is far from impartial but Dermot raises the bar.
He was awful on X Factor, stumbling through his lines and making loads of small mistakes that add up was well as unnecessarily padding out his lines with erms and pauses.
If Dermot is that good, he wouldn't have inherited the name "Dermot O'Dreary".
Davina is much better, and I can't wait for her BB9 return. Dermot for me is proof that BB cannot work without Davina.

They also remix decent songs from the 80's and makes them sound worse than the crazy frog (which I loved 
)
Does anyone else miss Davina?
