Sunshine confirmed in a tweet that the IQ tests of the BB HMs were bogus, they never did any IQ tests!

hi btw :)

I wondered where all you guys went to!

Welcome Katkim.:xyxwave:

PMSL got Ben down to a tee :xyxwave:

Hi Kat ((hugs)):dance::dance::elephant:

In all seriousness i actually quite liked Ben at the beginning he was my 2nd fav behind John , but after the comedy performance he started to turn very nasty and big-headed

You can always rely on Sunshine to let the cat out of the bag:hugesmile:


Not really. He's too sweet natured to be manipulative.

Wow were we watching the same show:conf: Crab eyes was the biggest gameplayer in the house - even the "experts" confirmed this. At least Ben stayed true to himself and never caved in despite the constnat bullying and humiliation heaped on him by BB and some housemates.:devil:

But if this is the 'Welcome Ben Fans' thread ... why would you want to be churlish ... our taste is SOUND ... give us a break ... we don't want any quarrels ... :xyxwave:

Ben was my favourite. I'll admit that I didn't like John James after his rudeness to Rachael (fine to have an opinion, but did he have to be such an arse in expressing it?) but I think that he was a good HM. He certainly got us talking, and I've always preferred the HMs who stick their head above the parapet and does something rather than the radar dodgers or the boring, fence sitting HMs (which BB11 had to many of, imo)

Towards the end, though, when encounted Rachael again and then asked BB to speak to Nathan and apologised to him and not Rachael...I wanted him out of there asap. Good HM or not, I think he crossed the line with his remarks, so much so that the line was 12742974559303 miles behind him, although to his credit John James did admit that he crossed the line, but I hated the way BB bent the rules and allowed him the phone call which kind of went against the premise of BB. It's BB's fault, but I held it against John James anyway :D

But anyhoo - John James fans can enjoy watching his antics on his new JJJ series, and Ben fans get to see him sitting on a coach with Raef and listen to him on the radio :)

Welcome , welcome..such lovely people...:elephant::xyxwave:

Hi Truth Teller..:xyxwave:

Very fair post Katkim. I have to admit John went way over the top with Rachael the first time and crossed the line at times , also he deserved the stick he got on the boards about his behaviour. Although the 2nd time Racheal came into the house BB gave John a really unfair edit on the HL over the massage incident. Sure John said some things to her but Rachael baited him with the comments such as the crabeyes which was never shown in the HL's becuz at this point BB wanted John gone. On your comment about the JJJ series i won't be watching becuz i don't really like Josie and i personally think she is one of the worse BB winners ever.

Although i will watch Ben on Coach trip becuz i quite enjoy the show

:bouncy:Hello to everyone on TIBBS and a hi to all the Bennites who have come to a far brighter land!!!

Had to laugh at you Pices with your, "So that is where all you scoundrels are". sorry toots, I knew you'd come over when word spread.

:cheer::dazzler:

Is this the same guy who asked Ben not to use big words.....like contempt!!!

We really need Verence, CrazyMoo and Gemmie to come on here as well don't we?

Welcome, to anyone who I missed on the other thread. And any more to come :p

Not to mention Spiral, Luie, WildwestWales, MagicMelody, and Glitterlady.

May as well try for a full house - they added to the flavour that is the Bennites. Now we are the Bennites Reborn.

Go entice Vodka, I think they'll enjoy: how many people have taken the time here to say hello and make us feel welcome, so many. That shows a huge difference and nice new people for everyone, new and old to share views. Sounds a great shout.

I WANT TO MARRY BEN!!!!:devil: :love:

Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest:joker:

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Oh here we go!

:cloud::bawling::laugh2: <---- these were the only water related smilies I could see. They will have to do, in lieu of a bucket of water ;)

:cat: :xyxwave::joker:I am a Bennite reborn - I feel ALIVE ! :dance::elephant::dance:

I wonder if the TIBBS Bennites would enjoy my fictional tale ? It might encourage me to actually finish it :hugesmile:

(Off topic, been watching Masterchef. I want to go to Noma in Copenhagen and enjoy the cuisine of Nordic foraging, it sounds intriguing :spin::spin::spin:)

I'll post a link to here on the island, though most of the current posters seem to have followed the trail of crumbs we left :spin:

You HAVE to share it with them ... it will blow their socks off ... do it ... ! :joker:

oh please do babycakes, posters fasten your (coach) safety belts, it's going to be a bumpy but sublime ride...:elephant:

My mum is obsessed with Masterchef. If she goes out we have to make sure it's Sky plussed or she goes beserk!

You just will not believe the utter brilliance that is about to be unleashed into your lives ... when Ben read this he declared that he was 'in love' with babycakes (and he told me he would do anything for her phone number ... !) :dance:
