Ben is definitely going to be up.
If he wins the twist task and nominates the weasel, I will be over the moon.

the weasel really needs to go soon.
yes Ben will be up this week, if he dont win the task to save him, i think he would go. hes doing him self no favours at all. i can see upto 8/9 nominating him, but lets hope something happens and hes still here next week

Read Darlo's nomination spoiler thread.

have done spider.

ben is starting to do my head in too but i will stick with him for a bit longer, those up eviction i would rather go first - all of them

Ben is still my favourite, I too wish he would stop analysing but I am very aware that he is being played, not only by Scabby but also by BB now as well (making Shabby stick to him like a burr to a blanket guaranteeing that he will go on trying to make things right)

Bump for the thread.

Am off for tonight, good night sweet dreams Ben's Buddies, who knows he might have a better day tomorrow, and anyway he is much much nicer than Scabby anyway

That is so true squiggle

Nite nite Squiggle.... And I agree.... no matter how he has tried our patience over the last couple of days, he is still WAY , WAY better than Shabby

hes 100% better than shabby!!

Evening Ben's Buddies  
Thanks to Squiggle for my number  
I've been enjoying Ben's little performance as Jerry Springer tonight - had me in stitches  
Thank gawd Shabby was out of the way on her 'date'  - I'm sure if she'd been around she would've tried to take over.. 

I missed it, I hope they show it on the HL's.
Good morning Buddies, BTW.

Good morning Ben's Buddies.  I hope you will all feel the same as me that even when Ben lets them 'get' to him in the house we will still be there supporting him.  He is, I think, very naive about the manipulative way some people in the house are behaving, I don't think he has come across that sort of thing before, and of course he is bound to make mistakes.  I feel for him trying to analyse what is going wrong, I think I might have been tempted to do the same if I were in there.  I hope he will get a little bit more savvy but I am going to do my best to stick up for him come what may.

I like Ben...he's a big plummy pilchard, but I dont care for some reason

agreed squiggle

@ plummy pilchard

Yes he is and I thought I wouldn't like him at first but he is much nicer than he appears at first glance, and especially when you hear those rounded tones Nice guy.

What a brilliant description, and I agree with you.

If you really like Ben but haven't yet asked for a number, please leave a request and support our lovely plummy pilchard thanks ikatali

Happy Tuesday Buddies

Well here I am Squiggle.  Please can I join and have a number. 

Hello Bens Buddies,
I still think he is great but having a rough time with the loathesome creature and her witches + BBs nasty antics, I also think JJ is doing Ben no favours.

Joyron I am surely delighted to tell you that your number is 38, wear it with pride, here have a hug

Ben and two of his main mates up this week, I shall be voting to try to get rid of Govan, here's hoping.

I'll be voting for the weasel.

Like the new title?  Annoyed about the tactics but at least we will be rid of Govan this week.

Your new title is looking great Joyron, I always find I enjoy BB more when I have plumped for a HM or 2.

Ben being up this week will be the best thing for him.  He never got over being booed so badly on the way into the house.  Being saved this week by the public should go a long way towards setting his mind at ease.  His friends Dave and Mario should also be OK.

Oh I do hope so spidermonkey, he needs something to boost his self esteem.

I hope Ben's safe

I hope you are right, Spidermonkey.
If Ben, Dave and Mario survive, it might also shake up the witches, if they think Ben's group is popular.

I hope so Yogi.... but my fear is that either Ben or Dave will go Not that I am keen on Dave, but he is pretty harmless, and if he gets evicted the clique will only get stronger... and more noms power.

yep, sign me up please, im ready to declare a 'like'

gypsie  dont think squiggs will be here till the morning  hope thats ok.

yes of course
I feel sorry for him tonight he thinks scabby is being nice to him and hes all happy. poor ben.

My perception of Ben is,he is not very street wise, hes a bit needy,(but hey some of us are ) and he dosent understand the likes of scabby , never come across the likes of her,    in life we pick our friends that we relate to,(they also pick us)as a friend I would pick Ben over scabby.

yep gypsie agree with ya, he was totally taken in by it all.

i know Mary i dont think ben has ever met a shabby either, hes not got a clue how to cope with her.

Good morning fellow Buddies, and welcome to our newest member Gypsie Well we can all see that BB intend for Ben to be the whipping boy this year.  He needs our support more than ever.  The way its being slanted I seriously cannot see him being in right up to the end, that is obviously not on BB's agenda.  He seems to have lived quite a sheltered life in that he hasn't mixed with any street fighters like Scabby before.  I hate to see him falling for all the tricks but I can't help liking him for that gullible quality too.  Very very human.  This Friday is crucial, we need to send a message to Scabby that she is not going to get things all her own way.  I shall vote every day now until Friday.

I am voting for Gollum.
Shabby thought she was popular with the public after staying in last Friday.
However, her confidence took a knock yesterday when someone called abuse remarks about her over the wall.
If her friend Gollum goes on Friday and her archrival Ben stays, her little brain will explode, trying to figure out what's going on
