Isn't that mostly down to the fact you vote off who goes therefore that kind of "lines are the closest they've ever been" tactic wouldn't work as well because you're not voting for your favourite. Except for the end of course - by which time there is usually a clear winner anyway and everybody knows it.
That's true. Although they do actually tend to it when you're voting for your favourite - although it hasn't happened this series, it did happen in the final of BB7 when Davina opened with the line "Think it's a one horse race? Think again". It was a load of rubbish.
True - but we had Davina's opening line and that was it. She gave the numbers, but at no point did she do a Thornton!

It was a one horse race from the moment the series began and they were just playing up on all the hype that week when a certain housemate's odds had shortened dramatically and various forums believed that housemate had a chance of winning.
Absolutely. It was obvious that Pete would win from day one!

Let's be a tad fair, it's not up to Davina what she says is it, she's reading a script... so all those "One horse race" lines aren't her fault.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming Davina herself, just as I'm sure Brekkie Boy wasn't blaming Zoe Ball or Kate Thornton. I know that they're told what to say, and they have to say it - although Davina has been known to offer her own opinion from time to time, utterly unprofessional.

I missed that interview. I fell asleep. She's good that Davina isn't she, they should bottle her and sell it as a sleeping aid.
I can feel my eyeslids getting heavy. Think i'll have a long blink. Give me a nudge if anything exciting happens.

As Kate and Zoe did on their series!
Generally I don't think Davina's too bad - though last night she was awful with interviewing Carole in respect to Jade and Danielle!
