It's probably the hardest task ever. I dont like Ben, he's plain old dim and lacks humour but I kind of feel sorry for him with this task.

When does Ben go outside tonight, is it during the HL show or the eviction show.

The Eviction Show apparently. I guess they're going to make him and the other HMs think he is being evicted by saying after the first eviction "the second person leaving the BB house tonight is..................Ben!".

I think that his stand up comedy will be before the actual eviction because after they go to the eviction interview.

But is it hard? What does he have to do to succeed? And it's not like they have chosen someone who can't talk well or who isn't used to being on TV.

I'd like to see you get up in front of a hostile audience and do a stand up routine! Not one of the other HMs in the house would be able to do it, so don't let's minimise how difficult it's going to be. Having said that I think Ben is going to be okay, just judging by how hilarious he is anyway without even trying. The stand up routine is part of the shopping task, isn't it? so he'll either pass or fail and they have to pass 3 out of 5.

What I find odd is that IF this is a TOT punishment for Ben, how did BB know that Ben would be the one doing the Stand Up since the HMs all had to decide between themselves who would do what?

To answer your question (on lf yesterday afternoon)

The TOT told him when the task came he had to make sure he was "stand up". He didn't seem to realize what it was about until the task was announced and he said to Shabby, "I'll do the stand up". Nobody else said they wanted that part so he just got it.

I said this before, BB dropped the ball on this. They should never have announced it ahead of time. They should just have sprung it on us. The ripple effect would have been massive and it would have been more of an incentive to watch future eviction nights - which this is clearly an attempt to do in the very short term.
