    Was just wondering who people would consider to be the best Reality TV Hosts/Presenters these days?

    Personally I think Jeff Probst on Survivor is miles ahead of anyone else - he's likeable, remains impartial, but clearly has a love for what he's doing.

    Others I think are particularly good would be Joe Rogan on Fear Factor (thankfully being revived next month), Dermot O'Leary on X-Factor and Alison Sweeney on The Biggest Loser US (she has her moments of awkwardness, but usually great at what she does).

    Hard to beat Ant and Dec on I'm A Celebrity... I think they're great hosts.

    Probst is great for sure. Needs to mix up the script though. There are about 10 lines he says every single week (Immunity is back up for grabs, I'll go tally the votes, etc.)

    I like Phil Keoghan on the Amazing Race (another guy who loves his job), and I like Padma Lakshmi on Top Chef for ... er... other reasons. :)

    Maybe he's a robot ;)

    He is a great presenter, come across as likeable and I do like his mid-western accent :)

    Ha who wouldn't love that job. He's gotten to see most of the globe by now!

    Completely agree with Joe Rogan and Jeff Probst. Really good presenters who take no crap either. Delighted that Fear Factor is back. Used to love that show.

    Love how Probst sort of takes the piss out of the crazy contestants, like Philip last year."So Phil, What are your spirit guides telling you to do?.. What would your great-grandfather say?"

    Dave would be a narrator for Come Dine With Me. He is perfect for that show.

    I would have to say Dermot O'Leary.

    I was extremely anti Dermot as I was did not like BB but to be fair he seems like the one good, genuine constant on the x-factor and never actively takes the p1ss out of the contestants despite sometimes having lots of opportunities to do so!:D

    Most X Factor USA viewers can see that he's a load of sh!te. I don't think Cowell will have him back next year (nor the equally terrible Nicole Whatsherface on the panel).

    You could see he was trying to be more 'lively' this week! It wasn't working! He still as dull as ditchwater even if he is a bit of a looker!:D
