Why are people championing Benedict? [First in TiBB's favourite]

[Joe.]

What's he done that's so significant that so many people are supporting him?

He's first in TiBB's fave housemates top 5, with Shievonne 2nd and Caroline 3rd.

In my opinion he's been nothing but boring to be honest- he's done nothing amazing so far and I don't see why so many people are supporting him?

[Jordan.]

I wouldn't notice if he left

[smartalec2718]

He's eloquent, insightful, darn good looking, and I have a feeling he's going to be a slow grower

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

He's eloquent, insightful, darn good looking, and I have a feeling he's going to be a slow grower

Exactly! He's a slow burner! :p

[Joe.]

I wouldn't notice if he left

Exactly- why is he everyone's favourite though :conf:

He's eloquent, insightful, darn good looking, and I have a feeling he's going to be a slow grower

How can you know that from the 5 minutes screen time all-together that he's got the past week?

[Jords]

I like how insightful he is and that he brings up smart convo. Just seems a genuine, down to earth and thoughtful guy really.

He needs more air-time.

[Locke.]

Funny really, he has had about half the screen time Luke S and Arron have had, yet they are apparently the two boring ones and Benedict is the favourite.

[Bluerang1]

He's "good looking" and does porn. That is why the majority of people like him. Also he's "eloquent". Comes across as patronizing to me :idc:

[smartalec2718]

I get so confused when jords and Jordan disagree :joker:

I don't "know" about Benedict, just a gut feeling

[Joe.]

I like how insightful he is and that he brings up smart convo. Just seems a genuine, down to earth and thoughtful guy really.

He needs more air-time.

So your saying he's the most entertaining in there?

It's so strange- like your saying he's your favourite as you've selected him as your profile favourite but I genuinly don't see he's what he's done that so amazing that makes him the forum's favourite!

[smartalec2718]

No I quite like Luke S too, him and Benedict are good in my book. Arron can s my d, he's such an ignorant knob.

Benedict is a dirty girl, but at least he knows it.

[Holly Christmas]

Four words.

Just look at him. :love:

He needs more airtime.

[thesheriff443]

he comes across as gay
and thats not me knocking anyone who is gay.

Lydia is the most entertaining.

Benedict is who I like most atm.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Him and Arron need to work out together! :amazed::amazed:

[In the Drunk Tank]

Think he's been the least interesting one in there

[fruit_cake]

he's sophisticated, sensitive, thoughtful, and is phwoaarr. What more do you need????

[Joe.]

Funny really, he has had about half the screen time Luke S and Arron have had, yet they are apparently the two boring ones and Benedict is the favourite.

Exaclty what I'm saying, I've hardly seen him do anything- I can justify all my favourites-

Arron- amazing, provided some great moments tonight, entertaining and just brilliant!
Caroline- witty, funny and just a great housemate all round, has had some good moments so far!
Deana- After tonight's row with Arron she's gone up in my estimations, she's amazing!
Luke S- :worship: 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? :conf:

[Jords]

Four words.

Just look at him. :love:

He needs more airtime.

Pretty naff answer Kate..

[Marc]

He's being over shadowed by Lauren, Sara and Caroline with their silly voices.

Evict them first.

[Josy]

Nice enough but a bit boring so far, I don't get why people think he's gorgeous though? I think he's a right munter tbh.

[Cherry Christmas]

Spot on, when he gave his noms tonight it was my first thought, also he has a weird way of talking sticking out his chin and his bottom teeth.....hes not done anything to warrant being favourite HM tho.

[Joe.]

Four words.

Just look at him. :love:

Not even going to bother responding to this. So now TiBB's favourite housemate is judged purely on looks!?

[Locke.]

If he was 10 years younger and went in with the same background and had the same impact he has had so far he'd not be liked.

[smartalec2718]

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.

[Joe.]

If he was 10 years younger and went in with the same background and had the same impact he has had so far he'd not be liked.

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.

[Merry Mockmas]

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 .

[Kazanne]

nice enough but a bit boring so far, i don't get why people think he's gorgeous though? I think he's a right munter tbh.

[Holly Christmas]

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

[Holly Christmas]

Really? When?

Sorry to have caused offense.

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 :hug:

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

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.

[Josy]

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

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

[In the Drunk Tank]

Come on now Josy, let's not get silly

[Macie Lightfoot]

Because he's good looking. There's really no other reason to like him. Good looking and pretty open about sexuality and all that junk. And to think that everyone in that other thread was saying that they'd NEVER save a Housemate because they're attractive. Let's get Benedict nominated and see what happens.

[BJ]

I don't like him at all. He seems patronising to me.

[Jack_]

I don't like him at all. He seems patronising to me.

Saw your username on the last post bar for this thread on the forum and loved the irony of it being in a thread about a pornstar :joker:

[Marc]

He reminds me of Ben (ukturtle) actually..

No offence Josy but.:laugh3:

Josy:love:Conor

[SharkAttack]

Exactly- why is he everyone's favourite though :conf:



How can you know that from the 5 minutes screen time all-together that he's got the past week?


So far I like his presence in terms of having an honest adult in the house, as simple as that. Time will tell if that changes. Maybe it's the glasses. :joker:

[Sophiee]

I like him when he's in the highlights, but that's pretty rare.

[Josy]

No offence Josy but.:laugh3:

:joker:

Conor will suprise you all, just wait and see.

[Bluerang1]

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

I don't like him but I have to agree with this.

I don't like him at all. He seems patronising to me.

That's what I said :)

He looks like this when he speaks:

will he pull a Jason BB5/Jay BB12?

[Merry Mockmas]

will he pull a Jason BB5/Jay BB12?

Only this time Conor will triumph.
