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...

well I tend to agree with them, but Ben is as nutty as a fruit cake so by default I have to support him

[InOne]

For me, Caroline probably destroying him a few more and then getting bored isn't worth risking a potential summer of Lovely Lauren.

Save Lauren guys, you know it's the right choice.

[thesheriff443]

how can any one take him serously now!
i think he thinks he is a hippy with free love and all that sh*te

[fruit_cake]

there's nothing wrong with a nutty character like Ben, as Spike Milligan said, 'cracked people let in the light!'

Lauren's a nice girl and she's ok n everything but she's just a bit dull really.

[Mystic Mock]

I really don't like Benedict, he comes across as patronising and a bit dull tbh.

[joeysteele]

I like Benedict, also my female friends I have spoken to are voting for him this week.This could be a close one.

Looking forward to seeing how they are both edited over the next few days, but I agree it should be a close one.

I agree!

It sucks for me as I love them both... but Ben is my fave, I want him to stay

[Jordan.]

He's spoken once in two weeks and he's suddenly bonkers...

[Livia]

I will be voting to Benedict for my own twisted reasons. Even though he has a decent brain in his head, it's not his conversation I admire most.

[Kizzy]

Get him out the twisted creep.

[Scotty07]

Loving them both now, shame one has to go. I have no idea who Lauren nominated yet though, so can't judge her on that yet. I know she mentioned Deana which was a surprise to me.

[lostalex]

benedeict is more interesting than lauren.

I'm sick of hearing Lauren's manipulative sob story about how "girls all hate me!! why can't i ever make friends with girls!! blah blah sob sob blah.

it's boring.

[Kizzy]

I think the noms talk should stop,it has the potential to ruin the series I feel. With regard to the nominated HM's benedict is in my view the one to leave. His views are not representative of the house or indeed the country, we are not supressed, repressed or prudish in any way anymore.
Thankyou Sir, but no thank you ...

[cfromhx02]

He's not actually bonkers. He only appears bonkers to most of the British audience and hms because they couldn't handle it because of their childishness and prudishness.

And his outburst in the diary room wasn't bonkers either. IT was spot on and those he targeted with it he was spot on about.

However, that doesn't mean he must stay. Unfortunately someone has to go. And he has to go to save Lauren.

Because the true evil that has been done in the nominations, is that she who has done nothing wrong has been viciously lied about and plotted against from the beginning

because of jealousy but also because she is a good person

and she is being punished for being a good person

because it embarrasses the filth IE Caroline etc to be around her

because it reminds them how they are not nearly as good a person as her.

So for the reasons of justice that someone should not be punished for being good because they embarrass those that are not; Lauren has to stay.

People are wrong that she won't target them now. Anyone who saw her look across at Caroline just after the nom results were revealed saw she was really pissed.

And she was agreeing with Lydia and Deanna who said that they needed to target the weakest members of that group now.

So Lauren is going to use the anger if the right thing is done

and she is saved and target them

because she now knows it's necessary

and you can only defeat filth like that by standing up to them

you can't let them walk over you.

[fitz2k2]

keep ben,if u save lauren she start to complain know one lies me

The Daily Star

BIG Brother’s shower-shock porn star Benedict *Garrett is facing a DOUBLE eviction.




He is in line to get the boot from the show – and also his real home for not paying the rent.




Ex-teacher Benedict, 32, moved into a house in *Oldham just before the hit Channel 5 show started.





His first rent cheque for £500 was due last week but as he is in the Big Brother house it did not get sent.




Now Benedict, who shocked housemates *after he admitted *pleasuring himself in the Big Brother house shower, risks being thrown out.




When his landlady Anne Richardson went in search of her money she was shocked to find the three- bedroom terrace empty – and Benedict on TV.




Furious Anne said: “I didn’t realise the ‘Benedict’ in my house was the one on Big Brother until I did some probing.




“He never told me he might vacate the place for the show.




“And he never told me he was a porn star either. That never came up on his credit checks.




“He was meant to set up a standing order to pay the rent and he hasn’t.




“Maybe in all the *excitement of going into Big Brother he just forgot.




“I am trying to find his next of kin because I want my money.




“If he stays in Big Brother until the end then he will be there until August – and I am not waiting that long.”




She might not have to, as only a miracle now looks like saving Benedict from the Big Brother boot.




He and Jersey lass Lauren Carre, 20, have been *nominated for eviction on Friday but bookies make him favourite to go.




Coral have him at 1-6 to be the third person evicted from the Big Brother house, with Lauren at 7-2.




Gary Burton, Coral spokesman, said: “Until the shower ‘incident’ Benedict was a favourite to win.




‘‘But since owning up to the crime he has drifted from a 6-1 second favourite to a no-hoper, and has not *attracted a single bet.”




Caroline is now 5-1 to win the show outright, with Adam at 7-1 and Luke S and Shievonne at 8-1.

[Kizzy]

Might have a bet on luke s........

[GypsyGoth]

I thought Benedict would go a lot further in the show before he was up for eviction. But now that he is up against Lauren, I would prefer him to go.

And the way he lectured to get his point across, I don't think that helped him with the viewers, so unless Lauren messes up drastically, she's safe.

[-Sue-]

I hope Ben stays his little quip in the DR yesterday was superb ... wish he would do more of the funny voices the house...just to show that he really has his head screwed on and has a fun side which I don't think the HM's have seen much of

[Livia]

I can't imagine why people are getting riled up about and indignant about Benedict. I mean, everything he said is true. The British are ridiculously coy about discussing sex (generally) and kind of repressed when it comes to being open about it. We also DO have really high rates of teenage pregnancy and STIs. Yet some people are still being ridiculously prudish about what he said and what he did.

The only thing i don't like about him is his friendship with sneaky Lydia.

She may be sneaky but she's not daft. Who else is he going to talk to? It's clear that Sheivonne and Adam don't really like him or get him, and who else is able to have a conversation?

I know. It's not his fault. She just really bugs me!

[karezza]

I bet Benedict reads the Guardian - he is smug, pompous, condescending and superior. I prefer Benedict to infantile, annoying Lauren.
