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

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah if I took him seriously he'd probably annoy me, thinks he's on some kind of sexual liberation mission

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.

[rusticgal]

I'm saving Lauren...

[rusticgal]

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.

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.

[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

[Ammi]

..don't think I could have kept a straight face either..he takes his art very seriously

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...

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...
