I'm not surprised in the least to see these presenters coming back. They are craftsmen who know exactly how to make TV formats work. People think that anyone can present but it's not true. It's an art that takes 20 years to perfect. Look at Noel Edmonds: he can't sing, he can't dance, he's shit at telling jokes but he's been on TV for decades because he's such a skilled presenter. He can take a very basic format like Deal Or No Deal and make it seem really exciting to watch. |
People will hire someone who's just been on Big Brother to present a show for the sake of the newspaper headlines it makes. This will result in great ratings for the first show but the rest of the series will be a car crash because they won't know how to present it properly. And ultimately the show will get canned. It's an insult to seasoned presenters that they still get overlooked for a nobody who's just qualified from reality TV. |
