Ben fans only - If you're missing Ben

[Angus]

here's a quick fix:

http://bb-cache.channel4.com/bigbrother/video/2010/Aug/5/the-5-greatest-ben-duncan-moments/play.c4

On his facebook it says he has met with producers at Elstree to talk over some ideas for his own chat show! Can't wait.

[yousoboo!]

its over. accept it.

I'm not surprised at that news Angus as the producers etc are liking Ben a lot,I posted something about it last week,I think that is why he has had a good run on BBLB and BBBM,everyone who meets him seems to get smitten,Did you catch him in the webchat last night?anyway keep me posted.:xyxwave:

[Angus]

its over. accept it.


Obviously not, since Ben is going from strength to strength.:thumbs: The rest will sink into obscurity when they leave since they have nothing to offer outside the house.

[joeysteele]

Yes, angus58, actually I understand there are a few things being discussed for BEN in the media particularly TV, no doubt he will choose what he thinks is achievable and he's comfortable with but honestly it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
He deserves all success he gets now.

Am mad cos I missed it, also missed him on BBBM and forgot to put it on record! Oh well, I guess we'll all be seeing more of Ben whilst the rest of them become instantly forgettable once the leave the house! It would be great if they put Ben into the All Stars, I can't think of anyone who deserves it more.

Couldn't agree more::)

[Kazanne]

There is one sure thing,people will be supporting Ben long after the others have faded and gone away.

[Kazanne]

its over. accept it.

What exactly is over?he is no longer a housemate,this we know, but we are still entitalled to talk to fellow fans who are interested in him,what's the problem?

[joeysteele]

Absolutely Kazanne and I dont think I can recall such a great reception given to an evicted housemate 2 weeks in a row on BBBM.
The audience love him on there, its like he was the winner.

He's a great guy though Kazanne and angus58, he is himself, genuine and to people that matter those qualities mean a great deal which is why producers and broadcasting companies are so taken with BEN.

I just can't praise him enough really,if you could choose members of your family,BEN would be a first choice in mine. For his integrity,decency and openness.

I am proud that I supported the truly best housemate likely ever in BB and its clear also he had/has some real quality fans too.(that's directed at Kazanne and Angus58 and jedward fever to name just 3,not just myself in case JJ fans storm in and call me big headed or something).

Just for you!

There's always at least one that spoils the sensible and reasoned discussion.

I don't think ben has what it takes to host a show.

yes because he was so inspirational on BBLB

[fingers]

Nah they dress him up in dirty dungarees and stick a fake chainsaw in his hands and our ever so sensible, but Vain Lord Ben, prances and hops around the set believing he looks like an upper crust Eminem! lol :joker:

i missed it!:shocked::bawling:

[joeysteele]

BEN is always inspirational because he only talks about what he 'knows' about,
so is a master of his topics, thereby when someone talks with authority and knowledge of their topic and are genuine in their interest of the topic then they are indeed inspirational.

[joeysteele]

Doesn't this thread have the heading, 'BEN fans only,if you're missing BEN'. It seems a clear enough heading to me.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I still miss Ben:bawling::bawling:

If his "Agents" ok'd that pathetic Eminem skit he is in deep sh!t if he relies on them to get him any decent parts! :dance::elephant:

I thought it said that Joey,but it's like everything,you always get one or two that want to spoil it for everyone else,,it's clear the sketch was done for a laugh,some people just need to get a sense of humour along with a life,What exactly was the point of anyone coming on here who is not a Ben fan what was it supposed to achieve?anyways I am looking forward to Ben on BBLB again tomorrow I think it is.I am also proud i picked Ben to support ,as my heart would not have been in it for any of the others.:xyxwave:

[Patricia4]

I adore ben, hes my kind of man.
he was my winner, I was gutted he was voted out. he`s a little sweetheart.

[muchadoaboutnothing]

And if you want to see more of Ben (who I think was one of the best HMs this year) he will be playing a bit part (he actually talks at one stage) on 'Ladette to Lady' on Tuesday night (10th August). The programmes is from 10.35pm to 11.35pm on ITV1. We (fans) should see him at some point as the Ladettes have to invited posh boys out for a dinner and Ben will be one of them. However BB HL show is on Channel4 from 10pm - 11.10pm so, if you can, maybe you could tape the 'Ladette to Ladys' and watch later. Ben was the best and all the rest pale into nothing more than 'wanabees.'

[red]

im a Ben fan but i wish he didnt do that sketch it WAS cringeworthy and i didnt feel it was the Ben i watched in the BB house it was just some idiot clowning about:(
if he really was serious about a TV career he needs to stay away from BBBM

Thanks for the heads up,and i will watch Ladette to Lady,it will be far more entertaining than BB

[Lex]

I still miss Ben:bawling::bawling:

Me too!....But I wished that he'd given that Big Mouth a swerve last night!!
Seemed a little demeening to me!.....But I suppose that it's early days yet...and everybodys got to start at the bottom!! :elephant:

[cub]

I don't think ben has what it takes to host a show.

It depends on what sort of show. If it's just a run-of-the-mill-ten-a-penny-Charlotte-Church-type chat show - forget it.

If it's something along the lines of him holding a dinner party with his fabulous friends and minor celebs it might be worth doing. Something on his own turf or in his favourite resturants, talking about food, celebrity and politics.

I'd watch.

[fingers]

Hands up if you think he got more than a McDonalds voucher for a Burger with small Fries for that "sketch".

[joeysteele]

My hands up,figers.

[joeysteele]

fingers even.sorry

[fingers]

fingers even.sorry

So, Large Fries then! lol

[jet]

I miss Ben. He was the winner for me.

[CaraRawr]

I miss him <3

[lynz]

its over. accept it.

I accept BB is over for Ben but am sure we will see a lot more of him on our screens!:dance:

[ElProximo]

Obviously not, since Ben is going from strength to strength.:thumbs: The rest will sink into obscurity when they leave since they have nothing to offer outside the house.

Agreed,
Ben is something different. Ben transcended BB and you may well call his time on BB a 'guest appearance'.
He was a 'Celebrity Hijack' on the BB11 season.

There are few BB Housemates I would and will watch in their own series. One was BB9 Luke who I thought would have a decent career as a sort of political 'pundit' and commentator.

Ben is someone who ought to have his own program, his own chat show and I will not miss it.
He can also do very well in the USA and abroad.
Ben doesn't need to be relying on 'BB11 Ben' either. In fact he would be popular and watched by people who never even knew he was on BB11.

I do think it's funny how many people here are guffawing and chortling over this.
They don't 'get it' and probably never will.
A big future for Prince Ben.

[lynz]

There seem to be quite a few people in the business who disagree with you.

Thanks for the vid, watched it all, and didn't find any of it cringeworthy. Ben was having a laugh, and I enjoyed watching it. What's more he'll have the last laugh when he gets his own show:wink:

[Angus]

I don't think Ben cares about your opinion since the decision won't be up to you now will it?

Why should Ben conform to some stereotypical view of what he should and shouldn't be doing? I dare say when he has made his mark he will be able to pick and choose what he does, but till then you take the breaks where you can. Ask anyone famous what stuff they had to do in their early days to get noticed - there's probably a lot they'd prefer to forget!

[fingers]

...and Beninem will be up there with the Worst of them!!!!

Unfortunately I think that it is in their contract that they have to do certain appearances after coming out of the house. That was cringeworthy to watch and not at all the Ben I enjoy watching.

[Ammi]

I'm now starting to see the 'silver lining' of Ben being evicted. We can now look forward to seeing him on the screen permanently instead of just for the summer. Will John James or Josie fans have that to look forward to - what a joke. Ben is a gentleman and has pure quality - I will never tire of him

[Angus]

I doubt anyone can actually get any lower than appearing in the BB house, where people get to watch you 24/7 warts and all. Personally, I think the end justifies the means, and it seems to be paying off for Ben, so good luck to him. The only ones who are miffed about it are the supporters of HMs whose only claim to fame will be to get their bits out for the mags.

[HBB1508]

Love Ben and I really hope he is on our screens more and more - I think he was lucky to get out of the house when he did - now we get to see more of him - a true gent.

[MojoNixon]

I'm not Ben fan, but i did not hate him either. He is OK.

[ElProximo]

Love Ben and I really hope he is on our screens more and more - I think he was lucky to get out of the house when he did - now we get to see more of him - a true gent.

Even though it marked the beginning of the end for BB11 it was, in retrospect, better for him to leave when he did and is much more entertaining as a commentator and celebrity guest.
Really hoping to see him get some sort of 'travelogue' type of program and I suppose it could be a format of a 'chat show' but I think he shines visiting unique locations or new restaurants,
and/or,
some remote interview/participation.
Even a sort of Louis Theroux type of format could win big for Ben.

Whatever it is (and not including puerile BBLB humiliation skits) but whatever it is I will be watching and supporting the sponsors too.

[Marzy]

Yay!! I can't wait to see more of Ben, i loved him to bits in the house and really pissed the JJJ lovers got rid of him.

[poejoe]

he was on bblb today taking the shine off rachel

[joeysteele]

I think BEN is great. He was this morning again on BBLB,

[Angus]

I think BEN is great. He was this morning again on BBLB,

Loved him looking so serious again playing his keyboard whilst the Shirley Bassey tribute act was singing:D

The guy who butchered his lovely quiff should be shot - but Ben still looks great!

[fingers]

No doubt his own special style of running had you in stitches!

Arms stiff and sraight with fingers pointing left and right and little prancing steps - like a screaming queen who has just seen another enter her bar!

Ah bless - you really can't keep away from any Ben threads can you? He's obviously made quite an impact on you and it must be irritating the crap out of you that he's doing so well.:laugh2:

[fingers]

He most definitely has a future - on GAY-TV!:dance::wavey:

[joeysteele]

At least he will have a future doing something useful and pleasing likely millions of decent minded people whether on TV or in who knows many other media circles and outlets, whereas some envious people unable to 'ever' develop the same talents as Ben has, can only whinge and gripe at him for no reasonable or constructive reason.
Well, I know who I'd admire the most of those 2 choices.

[Angus]

Here's what his friend has written on his facebook:

News:- Ben recently interviewed TV personality Vanessa Feltz for channel 4.

- The executive producer has dubbed Ben 'the most popular and liked Big Brother personality in the history of the show'-

Ben is travelling up and down the UK filming and doing what he does best, presenting.

[Lex]

He most definitely has a future - on GAY-TV!:dance::wavey:

Well!...if it pays well enough...and if enough of you watch it....then why not fingers??...The pink-pound is as good to spend as any other!! :dance:

[Lex]

its over. accept it.

His time in the house may be over!(as you put it yousoboo!)

But you must remember.....Jade Goody, the un-contested true success-story of Big Brother,....did'nt come in the top 3 either!!....But there was something about the girl that made her A STAR!!...WITH MILLIONS!! :elephant:

RIP JADE!

[fingers]

Well!...if it pays well enough...and if enough of you watch it....then why not fingers??...The pink-pound is as good to spend as any other!! :dance:Anyone daft enough to watch him is laughing AT him not with him!

Anyway no doubt his Iranian Paymasters have seen him make an arse of himself so many times that even they have had enough of ol' fluttering (shaved) fingers!

[joeysteele]

No, No Fingers, most people are indeed actually laughing at someone else on here and it isnt at BEN, me 'or' the other BEN fans.
Its actually you!

True. Could it not be that people support a character who is like themselves.
JJames blasted Ben for admitting honestly that he would like to get work in TV.
Constantly going on about Ben not doing tasks. I only knew of one task he did not do and that was not for food. Last week JJ said he was not spending a day in the task room with Rachel and that was for food. He said he did not care whether they had food or not.
JJames is a selfish brat.
Ben was genuinely kind and his dislike of team games was probably due to being mocked at school for his lack of sporting prowess.

[Kazanne]

No, No Fingers, most people are indeed actually laughing at someone else on here and it isnt at BEN, me 'or' the other BEN fans.
Its actually you!

:joker::joker::joker:you got that right Joey:xyxwave:

[joeysteele]

Glad I got something right Kazanne,you get wrong here for defending yourself.

[supernoodles!]

So glad Ben`s going to be in the HL show tomorrow!Ahhhh I have missed him.

[serensilver]

I didnt like him in the house but it was nice to see him back (not bitching) for a few hours today!
