his speech on masturbation was comedy gold, if there is more of this to come he must be saved!!

[lostalex]

i hope Ben stays too. I think he's full of sheet with his whole "i'm on a mission to educate the UK about sex" thing, but i still think he's a good housemate.

[InOne]

Not if Cunning Caroline has her way. And she will...

[Yayita]

Benedict bores me and Lauren doesnt do much either but I prefer her just because I root for the victim and would love to see Sara and Slagleigh get their comeuppance.

[MTVN]

I'm undecided now after last night, I like Lauren a lot more but Benedict could be good comedy value actually

Don't really see what's 'comic' about him. He came across as dull as anything lastnight, it was Caroline who made it funny. I don't think I could stand a summer of Benedick and his educating the masses crap.

[johnx]

Yea,the "masturbation messiah" must be saved-hes rapidly becoming my favourite.Though she didnt nominate them Lydia attempted to throw him and lauren under the bus with her mock outrage,all to deflect attention from herself.Bennedicts is clearly going a bit nuts by trying to turn a tommy tank in the showers into one of the 21st centuries greatest political statements.Who knows what other misguided crusades he may embark on if kept in.

Funny in a laugh at kind of way, or someone it's quite funny to see have the piss taken out of them because of how serious and worked up he was getting

I'm saving Lauren...

It seemed to make him somehow more self-righteous to me. He just seemed to use it to drill the point home to himself of how great he is and how the "yoof" of Britain need educating.

[rusticgal]

He cannot get out of his 'teacher' role...he does nothing for me!!!

[johnx]

Like any good messiah he's ended up getting crucified for his selfless act.

[Niamh.]

No Lauren needs to stay. Benedict is boring

[Kazanne]

Lauren to stay,Ben is too condesending.

[fruit_cake]

he is self-righteous but he's clearly got a screw loose. He came on big brother to tell the world it's ok to masturbate in the shower? That's got to be the wackiest thing ever, who knows what other crazy themes he has prepared to convert us all too

Yeah if I took him seriously he'd probably annoy me, thinks he's on some kind of sexual liberation mission

[Ammi]

..don't think I could have kept a straight face either..he takes his art very seriously

[InOne]

For me, Caroline probably destroying him a few more and then getting bored isn't worth risking a potential summer of Lovely Lauren.

Save Lauren guys, you know it's the right choice.

[thesheriff443]

how can any one take him serously now!
i think he thinks he is a hippy with free love and all that sh*te

[fruit_cake]

there's nothing wrong with a nutty character like Ben, as Spike Milligan said, 'cracked people let in the light!'

Lauren's a nice girl and she's ok n everything but she's just a bit dull really.

I dont buy the victim act tbh. I think its been done for airtime.

[Mystic Mock]

I really don't like Benedict, he comes across as patronising and a bit dull tbh.

[joeysteele]

I like Benedict, also my female friends I have spoken to are voting for him this week.This could be a close one.

Looking forward to seeing how they are both edited over the next few days, but I agree it should be a close one.

It's seems pretty obvious to me that Lauren is just one of those people that needs to be liked by everybody. It is killing her that Ashleigh and Sara don't like her for whatever twisted reason. Her anguish and confusion over the situation looked perfectly genuine to me.

She puts most of her energy into being bubbly and having fun and spreads her amongst all the housemates.
