Show some love for the mother of Big Brother, Davina! ”

BB wouldn't be BB without Davina, I think she has a job for life if she wants it.

I don't think Davina will ever voluntarily give up BB - Hooray!!!

I think Davina's cool, though she did let me down a bit this year, notably when interviewing Grace and Susie - what was that all about??

She's great at the little pre-title joke she does before the opening credits of a BB show.
Remember this year, just before Jayne's live eviction, Davina came on and said:
"Behold the Amazing Belching Lady.... Go on, pull ma finger!" - Classic Davina - loved it.

Grace's Dad knows Davina so Davina had to be nice there.
Susie I think Davina was annoyed that she did all that to get on BB and then drunk cups of tea all day.

That was hilarious and I loved the microphone/cleavage thing

I don't think Davina will give up BB ever - she's always saying so in interviews

The best Davina moment of BB7 was just after Nikki went back in and Nikki and Pete kissed. The crowd went wild, Davina just gave up reading the autocue and was more interested in the BB love affair than presenting the show and getting it off air on time! Loved it.

Great to read the 'Davina moments' of BB7. It's prompted me to re-live some of Davina's best bits by digging out my BB7 dvds... of which there are a shameful number

Yep. It was hilarious. I also remember the way she kept the show together after Nikki refused to speak in her 2nd interview, a lesser presenter would have watched the show fall to pieces around them.

I have that added to my favourites on YT, can't stop watching - funniest BB moment ever!!

Only half-related to BB but I also loved it on Comic Relief 05 when Davina wanted to tell people to keep donating but told them to "keep voting!"

I think Davina should have a bit more freedom in what she's allowed to say.

Definately, I love to see her ad-libbing - thats why I love DTTAH! and StreetMate so much because Davina has no script on StreetMate or the Challenge of a Lifetime

Davina decided she didn't want to do it any more after she had Holly because it was too dangerous.

I thought she was fab too -especially all of those stunts

What year did dont try this at home start and how many series was there.
Anteater3
14-11-2006
1998 until 2001 and I think 3 series, possibly 4.

shame she doesn't do it anymore but if she dropped it after 'cos of Holly, fair enough i suppose

When Claire Sweeney took over from her it wasn't as good. They changed the whole show, even the name, it was rubbish.

It was rubbish, Claire Sweeney was awful too, I refused to watch!! The one show I did see Claire had to walk over planks across a gorge and she was making a fuss and fell off on purpose - so different to Davina who did the bungee jump, the car over the bridge even though she hated heights!!

oh yeah i remember Claire Sweeny on it too. I thought she wasn't very good for it. I much prefered Davina. Little did i realise she would soon be onto a bigger show

Davina's perfect for BB but I preferred DTTAH- nore Davina adlibs and only on once a week - doesn't take your life away from you!
