Of course they were always going to give it back to him, five weeks is long enough without your own clothes.

As for the Ben Show, again more opportunities to try and ridicule him, but as usual he took it in his stride and got on with it, with the sporting participation of Corin. The Ben Commandments were great too, - another HM such as JJ or Keeva would have had a power trip on that.

So my view is that BB's attempt to put Ben in his place by supposedly "teaching" him the meaning of team spirit actually backfired in Ben's favour, as usual. He really is the teflon man, no **** sticks to him For once us Ben fans got a fair share of the HLs away from the air time bandits JJ&J and their tedious "relationship".

And you accuse me of spin? Christ!!!!!

Airtime is airtime. No matter what they do some people will say they did well and others will say they did badly. But hey, people will be talking about Ben and thats all that matters. This was FREE airtime for Ben and the producers know this will probably result in more fans for their chosen one.
