So glad Brian is back in the house. Fell in love with him when I was 18 and I still am.

He's the best thing to happen to this series which went downhill after Ben left.

Hope he wins, which no doubt he will

Was so glad to see Brian back on Tuesday and from the bits of recorded live feed I have seen he has been just how I expected - loved him in BB2 and love the man he has become. He was so funny on the first night when Nikk banged her head, and I love his double act with Nadia. Brian to win!!

Brian the most deserving winner of any BB series.

Still being underused on the highlights but what we do see is classic Brian and reminds me of why I loved him so much as a housemate and why I want him to win again!

Loved Brian and BB2 and loving him on UBB. I wish they would show more of him on the highlights.

This under use of Brian on the highlights show is very frustrating. I can only assume this is because they feature him often on the live feed. Perhaps its to give the others a fighting chance .

Glad that the bookmakers seem to reflect the live feed position rather than the highlights.

It is annoying that they are not showing his humor on the HLs, especially as younger viewers don't know him so are not seeing how great he is. Hopefully they show him more now Josie has gone

My conspiracy theory is that Chantelle is the chosen one, and They don't want to show Brian too much as he would take votes away from her. My hope is that once some of the HMs have gone, They will have no option but to show more of Brian.

It does seem very odd that Brian doesn't appear much on the HL's show when he is so heavily featured on LF. I have always stuck up for BB when various people have been bleating about fixes and scams, but I have to say I'm beginning to get very suspicious about their non-coverage of Brian. I know that they can't focus on him for the whole hour and a bit that the HL's are on (although I would very much love that!), but also, when he is shown it's not necessarily for one of his multitude of random funny one-liners or comebacks that are everywhere on the LF.

There are a lot of youngsters out there who didn't see Brian in BB2 and who really do not like him at all because they are going by his VT when he went into the house and are calling him smug. My two sons both have this opinion of him. I watched the LF for a while when they'd entered the house and told my sons the next day that they had to watch the HL's because they will see just how funny Brian is. So we sat down to watch and, nothing. Barely anything to alter their opinions. Not the Nikki head banging, "she's dead" incident. Not the Nadia saying "I feel like an old lady" and his immediate reply of "well yes, you're old, but you're no lady" as he was walking past her bed. Oh I could go on but you know what I mean.

These early days are very important for forming opinions and, once people have a favourite, it's not normal for that to change. I fear for Brian in that respect. That said, I haven't picked up the phone once during any of the BB's since BB2 where I voted continuously for Brian to win. I shall be returning to my ways whenever Brian is up for a public vote and hitting redial until my fingers bleed!

Can you tell I really want Brian to win?!

He`s the greatest ever BB HM. To me he is Big Brother. Brian to be the UBB HM.

Brian forever. I love his humour. It would be really boring without him.

Brian featured a bit more on the HLs tonight and should be in tomorrows with the dance task. Victor and Michelle watching were saying (as all the HMs do) that Brian was sooo funny. So hopefully their reactons will be shown too

Not sure why he doesn't feature much on the HLs either.

Him and Chantelle have been hilarious together but nothing gets shown unless they discuss Preston together....

He has also been great with Nikki and her strops, stopping her in her tracks (sometimes, only so much you can do for her ).

Brian is just so witty and funny with a heart of gold, someone I would like to socialise with , life would never be dull with him around He brings a vibrant energy to the house, sadly lacking in the other housemates in fact I would bravely say he is the Alpha Male in the house Go Brian .........

Hi

I thought an appreciation thread for (arguably) the most successful ex-BB housemate and winner was now in order.

Please stick to the Terms and Conditions and no abuse please.

So, presently we have Cirque de Celebrite Backstage every Thursday on Sky One. Who else thinks that we are really getting the old entertaining Brian on there? Great interviews such as the one with Hannah, Brian's willingness to get down and do the tricks like the swinging hoop one, and of course his fabulous humour throughout the whole show. To be honest his presentation of this spin off knocks Dermot's of BBLB into a cocked hat in my opinion.

For anyone that didn't know, Brian and members of his family and a friend will be appearing in the first of a new series of All Star Family Fortunes this Saturday at 7.45 pm. Saw Vernon on This Morning this morning (lol) saying that Brian gives the funniest answer to one of their questions that he's ever heard. .

Discuss
I started a Brian Appreciation Thread when he first came in but it disappeared. Brian is the ULTIMATE HM.
