Who here actually thinks Brian is funny and 'real'?

Topics

Prometheus

The bloke plays up to the cameras 24/7 and while some people might find the fact he's ever so terribly camp amusing I just don't 'get it'. What has he actually done in the house? I don't get the Brian love everyone's going on about.

This is not a criticism, I don't dislike him I just don't find him entertaining at all. Token camp comedy (that's debatable) gay bod is what I'm seeing. Is that really worthy of winning UBB?

I think he's funny ......................I think he's probably pretty similar on the outside too.

I seriously doubt he's desperate for airtime on the outside Soozy all his friends would disown him. He's massively OTT all the time, about everything, and ever so careful not to be controversial or upset anyone. Biggest gameplayer in BB history.

Brian is natrually funny but there are times when you can blatantly tell he's trying too hard.

Couldn't disagree more. and how would you know? You've only watched the last four.

Middle aged woman and teenage girls love gay men.

Although to be fair he can come out with some funny lines. He's just not the most entertaining housemate of all time ever.

I've seen HL's from them all. You don't have to 'live it' to 'know it'. If you can't see his every remark in every situation is designed not to get nommed while he goes into the DR playing the comedy gay for the HL's well, despair...

No doubt he would like to win, nothing wrong with that. I think he's very quickwitted and he's made me laugh way more than anyone in there

I think I must have stopped watching properly at the time Prometheus started watching. We'd make an ace pub quiz team if only pubs weren't so capitalist and he didn't hate Prussians. oh and some other reasons too.

I see it from this series. I'm intelligent, I don't need ten years footage of someone on BB to form an opinion on their personality. I feel sorry for you if you have had to watch every single one from the beginning to 'know where you are' with all of them. I'll do a synopsis for you at some point if you like so you are 'prepared' for the final.

No need ............Brian will win and I'm glad about that TBH. He was a nice guy ten years ago and he's a nice guy now. I think nice (and amusing) should win. We may not agree on that but ..............i'll pass on your synopsis cheers!

I think Brian is ok but trying too hard this time as is Victor. I hope Nick wins

You 2 will get married one day. Although people always used to say me and the schoolfriend who always told me to drop dead and who I wrote 'amusing' songs about would get married one day, and that didn't happen. So no, you probably won't.

He seems like a nice guy to me too, just very forced in the house. He was anything but nice in his interviews before he went in it was all 'me me me' with constant reminders of how he won and by what margin (shades of Nadia on CDWM funnily enough). I think he's okay, just contrived and not entertaining. Agree to disagree we must

, didn't see Brian in BB2 so I only heard of him via non BB related shows lmao and thought he was a nice guy who is obviously camp, funny, hilarious, fun and entertaining in my opinion of course

You don't count then. You have to have seen every second of every episode he's been in to form an opinion on him. Soozy says so

Did you phone up on his late-night TV bingo show and everything darloboy?

Liked him in BB2... but now looking back hes just annoying. Big gob and is always the centre of attention.

To me he's the sort of person who would try to listen in on a private convo... then at some point you just snap and shout "WILL YOU F*CK OFF!".

That's my problem with him too. If he doesn't win he'll demand a recount of the vote.

Brian has brilliant timing in his comebacks to remarks. I think he's just a naturally funny guy. I wouldn't be unhappy if he won as he's made me laugh loads of times, if not him then Victor who I thought I'd dislike intensly but it's been such a boring UBB I've come to appreciate what Vic had added to the show

Always liked Brian.

If he's game playing, then it's an OK style of game playing, to me.

9/8/108:00 PM

I don't care if they're game playing as long as they at least manage to be entertaining. He's not as ace as Victor but he's alright.

Brian or Victor to win for me

I didn't watch BB1 or 2 so had an open mind about Brian. But I've found him intensely irritating, over the top, and not in the slightest bit funny. Whilst I don't loathe him anywhere near as much as Plate Face, Makosi, or the vacuous Chantelle, I can't understand why people like him enough for him to be such a strong favourite to win.

I'm not surprised, Brian is like the anti-John.

Well he certainly isn't oozing with sex appeal like John McCririck, and doesn't have his rugged and manly good looks.

I like brian and if he's acting up then hes been doing it for the last 8 years cos he's axactly the same as he's always been.

it would have been a terrible ubb without him. hes kept the show alive.

I've always liked Brian and he won BB2 before it all got a bit wannabe so perhaps, like me, people have a fondness for that time?

He is "on" all the time very aware of the cameras and being on the Brian show. No Idea what he is like in real life. I would imagine it was the same cept no cameras.... just the ones in his head.

The campness is about as funny as piles, but his one-liners are very funny.

He sometimes says something funny but wouldn't call him hilarious. IMO he has done his best to be best friends to all his fellow housemates in the hope he isn't nominated.

I didn't say that at all. I was simply responding to you saying that he was the biggest gameplayer in BB history. Believe me over the years there have been far, far bigger game players.

he was always one of my faves and although i haven't loved him as much it would have been totally rubbish without him
