Deana- After tonight's row with Arron she's gone up in my estimations, she's amazing!
Luke S- This year's winner, wooing Lauren and Ashleigh and still managing to destroy Chris two nights ago!
Sara- Loved her drunkeness over the Queen, so funny and just amazing to look at- hottest girl in there.

So- why is Benedict to amazing?

I've chosen Luke S as my profile favourite but why are people picking Benedict when Luke S has had like 5X more screen time than him and is much more entertaining?

I agree with you on deana, Sara. Caroline is great but as a villain, Luke s is good but not winner material, and Arron is awful.

Agree- I think part of it is because he is one of the elder housemates- in my opinion he is down there as one of the most boring with Luke A.

[fruit_cake]

sometimes I read things on here that make me change my mind, but not with Benedict, he is attraction personified at this point.

[Mystic Mock]

I think Benedict has been boring so far aswell, I can't believe Chris or Arron (more than likely Arron) will be going on Friday when you've got bores like Benedict still in the house.

[thesheriff443]

for me he does not come across as a strong manly type
i keep expecting him to call everyone luvvie.

[Shaun]

He's intelligent and nice. I can't say that for any of the others bar Adam and Shievonne.

[erinp5]

Saw a bit to much of him in the bath on the highlight show !
He was doing what I think he was doing .

In response to Jords. Cba to go back and quote it.

It was a jokey, light hearted answer, with a touch of irony because Arron and Luke S are getting idolised because of looks and laddishness.

Dear me Jords, I'm sorry for whatever I've done lately to rattle your cage, but you've got the claws out twice now, and I don't get why.

People need to stop calling people like Benedict and Conor boring - they're awesome. It's not their fault the editing team decide to focus more on certain housemates.

Really? When?

Sorry to have caused offense.

[Jords]

Also I hadnt got my claws at you, Im just very against people supporting HMs based on looks. Its hard to portray a joke on a forum sometimes and I missed it

I think you could maybe say that first couple of days but it's been a week now and I can't actually think of one interesting thing Conor and Benedict have done, whereas I can for all of the others I think

[LemonJam]

More screentime doesn't mean a better housemate IMO. His moment in the bathtub this episode <3

It was in regards to Becky in a thread when I phrased my post badly and you interpreted it as I was judging her on looks/size, when that wasn't meant. I just don't like her. However you will recall that I went back and edited my post as I could see you had a point. But it definitely wasn't meant that way. Sane again tonight. I was being tongue in cheek about Benedict. I do think he's hot, but I also like him for his personality, I think he's funny, and decent. Shame we've not seen a lot of him but its early days.

That's all really.

ahh as you can see they were both regarding judging on looks (even though it wasnt intended) and I have a massive problem with it BB and everyday life, I always call people up for it.

Definitely not got a prob with you Kate!!

[Visage]

I thought originally he would be really interesting considering his background, but if it wasn't for tonight's highlights with nominations he wouldn't have been in the show more than 30 seconds.

[Jords]

I cant reply to your visitor msg or PM you back Kate (I think you have it blocked?) but no need to be sorry it was me who mistaked what you meant both times

It's fine, yes I can see where you are coming from, unfortunately we do live in a shallow world.

I changed my privacy settings, but I thought it was only for viewing my profile, thought everyone could still pm me. Hmmmm.

[lahaine]

Adam and Benedict will be the slow burners just nice guys who have the odd moment will speak the most sense will end up emotional crutches for wilder hms when they are down.

But don't expect fights, punch ups and crazy behaviour from them.

Just good solid BB winner material.

[joeysteele]

I don't think tonights highlights have done him any favours,having said that near all my female friends are supporting him.

[Jack_]

He's been disappointingly dull so far and it's a shame really.

Him and Conor for me have done the least, shame they weren't up and probably won't be for a very long time, if at all.

Conor is always involved in stuff thats going on, the highlights just don't focus on him
