My suggestion is Vernon and Rochelle for the main, Dermot (I suppose I can put up with him occasionally) and Josie as backup. Philth, Alison and Holly can all just do one. We have our diversity quota, we don't need another!
Ruth can also participate on occasions, but she has Loose Women to keep her busy.
People going on about “diversity quotas” in relation to black women but not in relation to the ‘dull but ~relatable~ straight white men’ they keep hiring (Vernon, Dermot, even Eamonn and pre-coming out Phil) are really showing their true colours.
They did have Rylan Clark-Neal for a while - I don't have a problem with it, although it's a bit different in Phil's case as we know.
Dear god not Rochelle.
She’s abysmal.
She’s abysmal.
Revised line-up:
Forget useless Dermot, how about Ben Shephard + Josie?
Forget useless Dermot, how about Ben Shephard + Josie?
Cant they bring Richard Madeley back?
He has got a permanent role on GMB.
You could say the same about Dermot, Vernon and many other tv personalities. But they're well known and have industry connections, same as Rochelle. She also may be bland but that makes her pretty inoffensive and versatile.
I like Vern. He's quite handsome too
I know I'll get slammed for saying this, but Vernon and Rochelle DO work well together. I think it's because they're on the same level, there's not that fear which would ever be present under Schofield.
Something tells me he's not very nice if you say or do anything that's not to his liking.No - Dermot has more authenticity, s presenting style, a warmth. Although annoying he has a tv personality. Rochelle doesn’t.
But that's a matter of opinion. Either way, reducing somebody to their race because you personally don't like them and saying they only got where they are because of it is racist and demeaning.
Hold on when did u say that?
I said she is there because of the diversity quota as she doesn’t have any natural talent for presenting. It’s the only reason left as to why she has been kept on for so long
That’s completely different to saying I don’t like her race. Kindly do not twist things into dangerous racist accusations.
When she presented the piece the documentary about black women & pregnancy a lot of people commented that she had no empathy with the victims & came across startled & laughed uncomfortably when they told her disturbing stuff. Twitter & here people commented that she was the wrong person for the role.
she has no skills for the job.
if you have an alternative reason as to why she is paid to present on itv for years on end please state. Don’t twist.
Please, I never said you didn't like her race, I said you are saying that it's the only reason she's there. That's literally what diversity quota means. And the glee with which you bring it up in every comment seems like it has racist undertones to me. Only you know your true intentions, I'm just telling you how it comes across. Please don't accuse me of twisting things when I'm literally just repeating what you said.
Also, I gave you alternative reasons in my previous post. If you don't agree with them then fair enough but they seem valid to me.
It’s not glee it’s frustration.
frustration that the opportunity could be given to someone with talent ( whatever colour they are).
The other presenters might be annoying but they have some presenting talent / personality.
I don’t like Rylan but would prefer him over Rochelle & would still say he has a style & injects his personality into it. He has a brand.
most others have a presenting brand - she doesn’t.
I won’t mention diversity again in relation to her as it’s being misconstrued.
in any case I switch off when she is on.
Okay I see where you're coming from.
