Some1 explain how the Drunk Monk is less unpopular than Ben

[fizzy]

I was shocked.

[Fuzzylogic]

Ben was a marmite figure that people mostly either loved or hated. Whereas Dave is less polarizing and people feel less strongly about him, therefore he didn't get as many votes to evict him.

[Jase.]

Because the UK voting public aren't very intelligent people.

[Shasown]

Its not about them being intelligent its about them being manipulated.

Plus the fact regardless what people think, there was/is a class issue in the UK and Ben appeared if not upper class as Upper Middle Class. A target waiting to be shot down for some unfortunately.

[flamingGalah!]

Most of the people who vote are chavs who hate posh people :xyxwave:

Yes thats another way of putting it.

[ThisIsMarie]

I know, it's so wrong. Dave definatly should of gone.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

because ben got more tv coverage than Dave over the weeks, and maybe also yesterday's task saved dave

[BristolRovers]

I'm sorry but Ben was sleazy, lazy, manipulative and bitchy. The reason he got voted out was because of all that and possibly some of his views not because he is 'upper class'.

To say the British Public have been manipulated is a joke. Yes the HL show can be heavily edited, but that doesn't stop him from being so repulsive.

well I neither liked nor hated ben. I found him funny at times, repulsive at others.

Like I said before tonights eviction, the one person in that house who was wronged by ben and has a genuine gripe with him is Mario. So I can live with Ben being evicted.

[joeysteele]

I dont actually believe the figures one bit, I am sure it was much closer than that and I ahve little faith now in the BB set up, they've done so much fiddling with the format this series that a lot more is shrouded in secrecy. Like the phone calls scandals that have hit Channel 4 before, I believe this has been and maybe most have in this series,a manipulated result by BB itself. They have certainly portrayed BEN this week in a poor light and have done all they could to promote JJames,totally protecting him.Dave has been kept very netral too and no way at all was Dave more popular than Bne, on the most favourite housemate list here Dave was a good 12% behind BEN and is till low compared to Bens last figure even on the ne list.
Somehtin smells as to BB and the way the production team have edited highlights and manipulated the series so smelly is it that it leaves a very unsavoury taste indeed and I fear BB will get their aim of a JJames win which they clearly want for some reason and they have tried all ways to character assassinate BEN all through the series while ignoring all the really bad things JJames has done and more to the point given no real punishments to him and Josie for repeated rule breaking. It all stinks to high heaven.

[BristolRovers]

Ben fan, need I say more? :p

Oh and this forum doesn't represent the whole viewing public.

[jaq7uk]

well. ben has natural humour and comedy withot trying. whereas the monk has zero personality. i mean just watch dave, his humour is at expense of everyone else. plus he stabbed ben in back. but thats just my opinon. ha ha.

[jaq7uk]

i mean im female.and if had choice between spending a night (and i dont mean sex ) between dave and ben i'd chose ben. not least dave rubbing his belly saying im ssooooo hapyyyy right noww

[billy123]

Thats right kids just keep chomping on them :)

[Colbert-Bump]

Ben was a threat to the other favourites and that's why he was targeted.

[MargeryFan]

Dave is a BEAUT!

[fizzy]

Dave is a BEAUT!

I can see why he tried to ignore his wife. But how come the wife ignored him back???

[King Gizzard]

Dave actually tries in the tasks

He's got to have the best task success rate in there

[fizzy]

woah, never knew that. I actually respect that one fact.

[Josy]

I agree, Dave always gives 100% in the tasks.

Does it really matter my love?

[Shasown]

Maybe the wives were told to pretend that Steve and Dave werent there, lets face it they would have both looked pretty bad if the wives had started talking to them.

[Lister of Smeg]

a few reasons

1. some of his fans were stupid enough to think they could get JJ out this week

2. outside of the Internet forums Ben isn't that popular

3. biased editing to make Dave look like a saint

[jaq7uk]

i reckon dave thinks he can win.noooooo

[jaq7uk]

joey steele. i totally agreee, its biased, im not sure if its rigged, but they very cleverly edit the show. i mean a week ago, josie was a compleete cow,. yet they didnt show it at all. i think, they want jj to win. i mean if he was ugley and fat, he wouldmt got away half as much. remember making rachael cry. HE MUST NOT WIN

[Shasown]

i reckon dave thinks he can win.noooooo

Oh he does, and judging by tonights live feed he thinks he is charge of the house too. Shouldnt be too long before he feels the glory of an eviction night interview. Like next week.

[Zippy]

Bwahahahaha

at the thought of Dave winning. I mean, puhleez.

[Shasown]

Bwahahahaha

Nah he wont, his ego is growing all the time. GBP doesnt like egos

The British public have actually been manipulated to like Ben more not less. He was promoted as a loveable rogue and they didn't show alot of his bitching and gave him lots of twists.

I think these threads are just symptomatic of the bitterness of Ben fans. Really to say that Dave has zero personality is just nonsense, he has one of the bigger personalities in there (arguably bigger than Andrew or JJ). And Ben is actually the one who makes jokes at the expense of other people the most, but he can't laugh at himself.

"

yep agree. If Ben lovers targeted Dave instead of JJ1 then Ben would have and a better chance at staying in. Not that stupid posts like "hey all vote for x" make any difference whatsoever but I mean more generally by BB viewers outside tibb.

[ange7]

Bwahahahaha

racist signature. Get a life sado.

[BBAroudtheGlobe]

I can't believe this. It's ridiculous! I don't know if I even want to watch the rest of the season now.

[Claymores]

The Drunk Monk is less unpopular than Ben :thumbs:

[-Sue-]

awww lots of people sulking today... :joker:

[Claymores]

The public are not keen on effete self-obsessed whingebags. Get over it Benniettes

[joeysteele]

You haven't even any grace or decency even when you get what you want Claymores, how I am glad I am nothing like you.
Really glad.

[Claymores]

Really glad.

I'm pleased that you are superior to me :thumbs:

[Peter Plunker]

Yes, of course it's all rigged, it's all JJ1's fault, it's in the editing, the illuminati wanted him out etc.
Can't it just be that Ben wasn't as popular as other HMs?

[Claymores]

Too logical PP - get your black armband on and hang your head in shame

[joeysteele]

I am glad you recognise that Claymores, you do understand correctly some things then.

[WOMBAI]

I was shocked.

Ha, ha - I wasn't - Dave is the only hm that keeps the mood in that place up! He is a real character! Love him!

[WOMBAI]

Because the UK voting public aren't very intelligent people.

Of which you are one, incidentally! The intelligent ones see past all the anti-God hysteria from the Dave haters!

[stewart64]

Ha, ha - I wasn't - Dave is the only hm that keeps the mood in that place up! He is a real character! Love him!

Yep for all his two faced verdicts on other ''weirdo'' behaviour. He redeems himself for trying to make this a love and glory fest.
