Bonkers Ben must be saved!!!

[fruit_cake]

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

[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.

[In the Drunk Tank]

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

[InOne]

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

[Rustic bauble]

I'm saving Lauren...

[InOne]

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

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.

[Rustic bauble]

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.

[ChristmasNeeve]

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

[In the Drunk Tank]

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.

[Cherry Christmas]

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.

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

[Merry Mockmas]

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.

[Cherry Christmas]

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

[WozMan]

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

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.

[Jordan.]

He's spoken once in two weeks and he's suddenly bonkers...

nah sorry mate, I just dont buy it, plus her noms dont really add up given who she feels dislike her...:conf:

[Livia]

I will be voting to Benedict for my own twisted reasons. Even though he has a decent brain in his head, it's not his conversation I admire most.

[Kizzy]

Get him out the twisted creep.

[Scotty07]

Loving them both now, shame one has to go. I have no idea who Lauren nominated yet though, so can't judge her on that yet. I know she mentioned Deana which was a surprise to me.

[lostalex]

benedeict is more interesting than lauren.

I'm sick of hearing Lauren's manipulative sob story about how "girls all hate me!! why can't i ever make friends with girls!! blah blah sob sob blah.

it's boring.

[waterhog]

No Lauren needs to stay. Benedict is boring

well said - what has he ever talked about apart from his trade which is his carea - OMG he needs to go but can the public see this or do they enjoy all his talk.

[MariaLeFrink2]

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

I agree!

It sucks for me as I love them both... but Ben is my fave, I want him to stay :)

[Livia]

well said - what has he ever talked about apart from his trade which is his carea - OMG he needs to go but can the public see this or do they enjoy all his talk.

Everyone else's conversations are so stimulating, aren't they. All they talk about is nominations and who doesn't like who. They're one of the most boring bunch of people they've ever had in there in my opinion.

And if Benedict has done nothing else, he's brought out the prudes in their droves.

[Kizzy]

I think the noms talk should stop,it has the potential to ruin the series I feel. With regard to the nominated HM's benedict is in my view the one to leave. His views are not representative of the house or indeed the country, we are not supressed, repressed or prudish in any way anymore.
Thankyou Sir, but no thank you ...

[cfromhx02]

He's not actually bonkers. He only appears bonkers to most of the British audience and hms because they couldn't handle it because of their childishness and prudishness.

And his outburst in the diary room wasn't bonkers either. IT was spot on and those he targeted with it he was spot on about.

However, that doesn't mean he must stay. Unfortunately someone has to go. And he has to go to save Lauren.

Because the true evil that has been done in the nominations, is that she who has done nothing wrong has been viciously lied about and plotted against from the beginning

because of jealousy but also because she is a good person

and she is being punished for being a good person

because it embarrasses the filth IE Caroline etc to be around her

because it reminds them how they are not nearly as good a person as her.

So for the reasons of justice that someone should not be punished for being good because they embarrass those that are not; Lauren has to stay.

People are wrong that she won't target them now. Anyone who saw her look across at Caroline just after the nom results were revealed saw she was really pissed.

And she was agreeing with Lydia and Deanna who said that they needed to target the weakest members of that group now.

So Lauren is going to use the anger if the right thing is done

and she is saved and target them

because she now knows it's necessary

and you can only defeat filth like that by standing up to them

you can't let them walk over you.

[fitz2k2]

keep ben,if u save lauren she start to complain know one lies me

The Daily Star

BIG Brother’s shower-shock porn star Benedict *Garrett is facing a DOUBLE eviction.




He is in line to get the boot from the show – and also his real home for not paying the rent.




Ex-teacher Benedict, 32, moved into a house in *Oldham just before the hit Channel 5 show started.





His first rent cheque for £500 was due last week but as he is in the Big Brother house it did not get sent.




Now Benedict, who shocked housemates *after he admitted *pleasuring himself in the Big Brother house shower, risks being thrown out.




When his landlady Anne Richardson went in search of her money she was shocked to find the three- bedroom terrace empty – and Benedict on TV.




Furious Anne said: “I didn’t realise the ‘Benedict’ in my house was the one on Big Brother until I did some probing.




“He never told me he might vacate the place for the show.




“And he never told me he was a porn star either. That never came up on his credit checks.




“He was meant to set up a standing order to pay the rent and he hasn’t.




“Maybe in all the *excitement of going into Big Brother he just forgot.




“I am trying to find his next of kin because I want my money.




“If he stays in Big Brother until the end then he will be there until August – and I am not waiting that long.”




She might not have to, as only a miracle now looks like saving Benedict from the Big Brother boot.




He and Jersey lass Lauren Carre, 20, have been *nominated for eviction on Friday but bookies make him favourite to go.




Coral have him at 1-6 to be the third person evicted from the Big Brother house, with Lauren at 7-2.




Gary Burton, Coral spokesman, said: “Until the shower ‘incident’ Benedict was a favourite to win.




‘‘But since owning up to the crime he has drifted from a 6-1 second favourite to a no-hoper, and has not *attracted a single bet.”




Caroline is now 5-1 to win the show outright, with Adam at 7-1 and Luke S and Shievonne at 8-1.

[Kizzy]

Might have a bet on luke s........:D

[flamingGalah!]

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

That wasn't quite the message he was trying to get across, it seems you, like the housemates, have got the wrong end of the stick...

[GypsyGoth]

I thought Benedict would go a lot further in the show before he was up for eviction. But now that he is up against Lauren, I would prefer him to go.

And the way he lectured to get his point across, I don't think that helped him with the viewers, so unless Lauren messes up drastically, she's safe.

[-Sue-]

I hope Ben stays his little quip in the DR yesterday was superb ... wish he would do more of the funny voices the house...just to show that he really has his head screwed on and has a fun side :) which I don't think the HM's have seen much of :)

[fruit_cake]

That wasn't quite the message he was trying to get across, it seems you, like the housemates, have got the wrong end of the stick...

what is the message he was trying to get across then? enlighten us please

[Livia]

I can't imagine why people are getting riled up about and indignant about Benedict. I mean, everything he said is true. The British are ridiculously coy about discussing sex (generally) and kind of repressed when it comes to being open about it. We also DO have really high rates of teenage pregnancy and STIs. Yet some people are still being ridiculously prudish about what he said and what he did.

The only thing i don't like about him is his friendship with sneaky Lydia. :bored:

She may be sneaky but she's not daft. Who else is he going to talk to? It's clear that Sheivonne and Adam don't really like him or get him, and who else is able to have a conversation?

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I know. It's not his fault. She just really bugs me! :mad:

[karezza]

I bet Benedict reads the Guardian - he is smug, pompous, condescending and superior. I prefer Benedict to infantile, annoying Lauren.

:nono:

[jyunga]

benedict is boring as hell. the wank issue is the only thing he has done all show so far. lauren may be boring too but atleast she'll cause a little more drama with her crying BS and the girls disliking her. if benedict doesn't go this week he'll do nothing for the rest of the show and coast to the finale. if lauren is around she'll be another bore that will end up picked off likely next week and keep another big character from getting booted sooner.

[flamingGalah!]

what is the message he was trying to get across then? enlighten us please

It wasn't about him wanking, it was about them not wanting to discuss it & giggling like silly little girls at the mention of "masturbation"...

He was trying to get the point across that in this country we don't like to talk about sexual things, we find it embarrassing & taboo. He linked that to the fact that the UK has the highest rates of teenage pregnancy & STI's in Europe (all true) & mentioned how other countries are far more open about such things etc...

I'm surprised that so many missed this point, infact on Digital Spy some ridiculous posters were even trying to suggest that by talking to Caroline about it he was subjecting her to a form of sexual assault!! Unbelievable...

well I tend to agree with them, but Ben is as nutty as a fruit cake so by default I have to support him :hmph:

[Holly Christmas]

:hugesmile: :love:

well said Fruity.

Baron Benedict to stay!

[fruit_cake]

in Baron Benedict we trust :worship:

[flamingGalah!]

well I tend to agree with them, but Ben is as nutty as a fruit cake so by default I have to support him :hmph:

Well then you don't get it do you lol!

By the way I am a Benedict fan, just trying to explain what he was trying to explain... :joker:

[Holly Christmas]

The Baron must not leave the building!

[MariaLeFrink2]

I love Benedict and don't want him to go...

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I love Benedict and don't want him to go...

Me too, but i also like Lauren. This eviction is so hard! :bawling:

[MariaLeFrink2]

It is quite hard, as I like them both, too.

But ultimately I think if Lauren stayed she would still keep on trying to be friends with the others and it would just get annoying. I hope if she does stay she goes with the other crew.

You think? She looked really mad with Ash and co. I think she'll want revenge. I'd love to see Team Towie going down! :tongue:

[Holly Christmas]

Benedict is also mad with quite a few of them though. His rant and Ashleigh impression is just a taste of what's to come if he stays.

Save the Baron.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

This eviction is rally hard. I want to see Team Plastic go mad. I wonder who could handle them better. Ben or Lauren? :suspect:

[Holly Christmas]

Benedict can handle them better.

[MariaLeFrink2]

Benedict can handle them better.

Yeah I think so, too. It would be funny to watch

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Yeah. I worry that Lauren would get more upset. She's so sensitive. :(

[reece(:]

As sad as it is to see Lauren go, Benedict is bloody hilarious and can easily put dickhead Arron and snubby Carol in their places. he's more reliable than Lauren.

[Tony1111]

I'd rather Lauren stayed but I honestly am not a fan of either of them. Lauren would be fun to watch though to see if she remains to crack under the pressure or becomes stronger. Benedict feels like he's got nothing else to offer us. :p
