I'm taking partial credit for the task as it was my idea to have the Ben Talk Show. The purpose?
Simply to provide one of the most entertaining moments in BB history. It may have been one of the funniest scenes this (or any other) season. Comedy gold. I wouldn't care if we found out Ben was an actor playing a character because anyone who can describe himself as the son of a anglo-american father and swiss mother of austro-italian extraction and therefore 'basically the DNA of James Bond' wins legendary BB HM status.
not to mention his 'air quotes' at 'team player' was pure comedy gold.

You know something.. a lot of people have tough lives, miserable jobs, are depressed, heartbroken, just tired from a long days work.
They come home, they want to forget their worries and this task provided that opportunity.
It made people laugh out loud. For just a moment they smiled. they had to laugh.
THAT is the good work and purpose of that task.
There you have it.

ben wont be up cos most of the house LIKE him.:joker:

JJ ,may be up cos a lot dont like him:bawling:

hopefully Caoimhe will be up because they all dislike her:dance:

and as for your last part ....take JJ out of the house and we might get to see a little more fun rather than his hateful bile and gameplaying:sleep:

I think they expected him to issue "orders" or get treats for himself - Imagine those commandments in the hands of JJ or Keeva:shocked:

This.:blush:

This also.

well said:hello::thumbs:

I find the whole 'taking away the suitcases' boring after a week of it, the housemates adapt with what they got and forget about it, they just needed a way to give it back to him. :spin:

Or Josie - she would of had JJ on a plate! :joker: As for Keeva - wonder what Josie would have had in store for her? :joker:

Angus58 is pot on, BB hoped Bne would flop, but Ben was reasoned, thought of others and out on a light hearted show too,assisted by Corin, just like the stand up comedy task to the crowd, it backfired on BB,they all did for the 24 hours dress like Bne, keep their hair on and most, with the exception of Corin and JJ who have too strong accents, also kept to talking sort of more posh. As in all tasks it has to be assessed that overall the ffort was there and near all the elements were passed,that was what happened and because of the overall result of the task,Bne rightly got his case back, but what a disgrace that he hasn't had it back sooner, imagine a female member denied her case for so long,there would be uproar and complaints even to the regulator.
