In the beginning I thought he was amazing and had great 'differential' potential, but he has become a caracature (sp?) of himself and I figure that it's now pretty much all put on. He's almost a bit like Nikki from big brother - "am I on, am I on, oh best perform". Just take the big brother "afters" - who do you enjoy - dermot or brand?
The shame I think is that he has a talent that's now been taken over and instead he's becoming a celebrity famous for being famous- just like the people he generally commentates on. This 'persona' is probably being promoted by some money making machine that'll dump him soon. Let's just watch - a big rise and then dump. Then he may change his hair, his soundbites, his skinny trouser look and reinvent himself as a 'critic' for some arts programme on tv! Cynical. Moi? Non!
