It occurs to me that the presenters and indeed the shows themselves of British and America BB don't conform to national stereotypes. Chenbot and her show seem quiet and understand whearas Davina and her show are full of rowdy Jerry Springer-style audience participation

I like the fact that Chenbot is impartial like the way Davina used to be before she became as biased as Dermot O'Dreary. But I think Davina has a better connection with the viewers.

I love Chenbot. She wins hands down. Chenbot could kick Davina's ass anytime

I prefer Davina, although I like the bot.

Davina has a personality.

The bot does the same facial expressions every episode, dramatic change of the camera followed by "but first"

You forgot her 'Sit down, Cross legs, say something, uncross legs, stand up, walk away whilst saying something else' sequence!

I prefer Chenbot, Davina is too Jerry Springer-esque and biased for my liking.

Davina is nothing like Springer, your judgment is clouded by the scum that are (some of) todays youth who populate the live evictions, and are like Springer audiences and participants in their ill-educated inadequacy.

Both the Bot and the Gurner would be lost if they ever job-swapped - Davina would be mugging away desperately trying to breathe life into the flat, tension-free farce that is the US Vote, Evict, Interview sequence, whilst Julie would, I'm sure, find the Coliseum-like atmosphere of the UK evictions far too undisciplined and edgy, and would come across as awkward and uncomfortable with that atmosphere.

"With that said" (hehe! ) it'd be interesting to see this swap happen if only from a 'Car Crash' perspective.

Maybe I'm just cruel?

Definetley Davina! She might be a bit loud at times but at least there is a personality there.

Davina wins hands down. She has a personality, connects with the viewer and has a genuine interest in the show. Shes something good to look at . As nice as she may be, Chenbot does none of that.

The Chenbot love is sweet in here.
Julie couldn't host in BBUK atmosphere just as much as Davina couldn't host a "serious" BBUS eviction segment.
It's all apples and oranges. The productions are miles apart.

I will say that Davina's muggins wouldn't fly well over here. She comes off as nothing more than a catty bitch and they don't last long on network tv. Davina would do great on cable tho.

I guess that's the reason she was axed from the BBC, and is still on Channel 4 to this day. (Although she did appear on Sport Relief...)
