IMO, Sunshine was being over-sensitive and blowing everything out of proportion.
I do think (despite her protestations to the contrary) that Sunshine likes to play the victim.

Yes Yogi Sunshine does labour on and on and wouldn't be the most endearing character to live with, however I was just surprised at Ben, particularly as he was hugging her, telling her she was his dearest friend and then voted for her at eviction time.Anyhoo....I'm a Ben fan but will be keeping my beady eyes on him

you have a point fairfax

I noticed that too Fairfax, he knew the onions were not to be eaten, yet he and Dave went ahead and helped themselves.Then denied all knowledge, and continued to make a fuss about being accused on live feed.
I quite like Ben too, everyone can't be perfect, but it did make me wonder if the goody, goody act is maybe just that.

 
I can understand why he voted for her, after her histrionics over verrucagate.

I agree about those onions. He knew they weren't to be taken, so why make a big deal out people drawing attention to it? Deadly Dull Dave knew as well, he just played ignorant and pretended he hadn't heard.

As a hardline fan of Ben I must admit he was sneaky about using the onions on his dinner.  Naughty Ben!!  However the verucca cream thing was just a silly joke he was in danger of taking too far.  No malice involved.

IMO Sunshine has a very obsessive type personality - notice how she dwells on things for ages and notice how she will jump on, what she interprets as, a slight.  I think Ben is doing well in how he`s dealing with her and being very kind in the circumstances.  If it was me I certainly wouldn`t be that patient.  He`s a dear.  Its gonna be interesting thats for sure.

Not sure about Ben. Trying to be all things to all people 

I agree Jeggo.

(I still don't understand why onions were on the table if they were being saved for something else - I'd have had some too.)
Also when Shabby, Ife and Caoimhe renewed their dislike of Ben last night I thought he might be in for a tough time. Sur enough a simple light-hearted innocent remark has been pounced on Caoimhe.
"Why did you say that?" she asks stern-faced. "A joke" says Ben - which it clearly was.

And Ben has just told Sunshine about another similar innocent.

The constant negativity towards Ben from these 3 seems very unfair to me.
The poor chap won't be able to breathe to their satisfaction next.
Pity also because as far as I know he still regards Caoimhe as a goodish friend. Little does he know.
I like Ben very much

By the way, it is worth mentioning that the very person having a go at Ben and Dave for eating the onions... Gollum... was helping himself to beans and fishfingers the night before while most of the others were asleep.  This however, was not shown on highlights.

They weren't actually on the table, but in a bowl on the hob, well away from the food they were serving. Ben did mumble to Mario, as they were taking them, that they weren't meant to be having them, so he definitely knew!

Ah! Thanks Blizzie.

I just love Ben's style as he performs in the live quiz on now. Love it.

I just wanted to say that when Shabby, Caoimhe and Ife were bitching about Ben and re-uniting against him, one of the things they did was to impersonate his voice and the way he speaks.I say "impersonate", but it was actually sneering and mockery. Very unpleasant and unkind and with apparently a "class" dislike thrown in to the mix.

I think that Ben has had the patience of a saint with that lot....I would have been slapping quite a few of them with gay abandon by now. That he hasn't really got into the biatching shows either a kind of naivety or a good upbringing where he was taught his manners properly...unlike some in there

Brisket that's about their level, mocking Bens accent. They obviously feel inferior to resort to this,petty bitchy nit picking.  He hasn't done anything that would warrant an attack so they fall back on the school yard sneering. Don't like these three at all.

Oh I've missed all of this! I go away for one night and then look what happens.

read the LUT and last night's discussion Maz...you'll soon get up to speed

Thanks Kaytee

And go and get your membership of Ben's Buddies as well Maz

Ah Ben's been on TV before he was helping out his pal Rafe "On come dine with me".

I agree Kaytee... and as for Sunshine, the way she carries on I sometimes wonder if she has had a humour by-pass!

OMG yes Katty.... how could I have not realised that

He was talking about it this afternoon.

Also Ladette to Lady.He was also 'invited' to go on BB. Popular lad.

Thanks KattyI've only just switched on LF , so missed it...... and on the CDWM episode I was too busy getting  with Rafe
