I dont think I speak out of turn when I say how tough it was for UV; as his friend she found his experience in the house very upsetting.

Subtle ways ... ? SUBTLE ... ?

When they all had those wigs and clothes on and were making (pitiful) efforts to speak like him and his little face fell ... after he had had the meal and the music and been a little bit happy for the first time ... and they destroyed him all over again ... you call that SUBTLE ... ?

And my heart was breaking for him ...... it was so pathetic to see ... and he really didn't deserve it ... he is the most decent and gentle of men ...

Oh god yes, there were obvious sledgehammer humilations and cruel ones (sadly), but there were also subtle things that we saw, but Ben wouldn't have seen at the time, such as him edited to seem as if he ate cake (the Marie Antionette moment) when Keeley was waiting for the paramedics, things that we saw on LF but were not shown on the highlughts (such as being told he would work out for 7 hours during the Marine Boot camp task). The subtleties were in the edits, in giving the impression he was just a lazy buffoon.

Yup ... you are so right ... so right ...

And actually he was told that he would be doing those press ups for 6-8 hours ... I can prove it ... I texted my son with the information ... I was so aghast ... I mean who could do that ... not even a top sportsman ... and certainly not Ben ... he and my son used to go to the gym together ... and he knows what Ben is capable of in that department (i.e. not a lot ... )
