I feel the same Joyron, I feel as if Mario has had a personality transplant.  He seemed such a lovely gentle person but he cannot deal with rejection big time.  I am liking Ben more though, he stands up so well when everyone keeps sniping at him and I have never seen him lose his rag.

Han we will have to have that as our Ben catchphrase "I am just going to lie down for a little while with cotton wool pads on my eyes" said as we leave the thread

Oh by the way I am just going to lie down for a little while with cotton wool pads on my eyes

 It was great

Seems to be a lot of Ben bashing in the threads today.  Saw your efforts Squiggle but just could not be bothered to join in.  I would probably lose my rag and finish up having to write an apology thread!!!

 I am just going to lie down for a little while with cotton wool pads on my eyes

Bye Joyron & Squiggle...... I haven' got time for the pads yet

Even JJ was laughing his head off.  As someone else has said Ben is comedy gold in there.

Hope you don't mind me popping in here,


At least you can have a peaceful fan club/appreciation thread

I made the thread which was about the bashing Mario recieved... which then turned into take shots at Ben thread

Im not entirely keen on any of the HMs this year, but if I had to choose one... the only worthy winner I can see is Ben.

Ben is high on my list of "laugh and smile providers" this year.
Probably top actually.

Awww Meaty   And Brisket

Thank you for that comment.  You are more than welcome in our little (hopefully peaceful) thread. 

Later's Buddies

Just seen in the LUT that Ben and Dave have just done a robot task, with Dave having lots of his hair cut off by Ben.  Don't have LF so I don't know all that happened but it appears Ben and Dave won.  JJ WILL NOT be happy with that!!!

"Meanwhile, the odds on broadcaster and journalist Ben winning the series have shortened to 7/2. However, he remains behind Josie, who is currently the hot favourite with odds of 9/4."
Just copied this from DS.  Ben seems to be making some ground!!!

Joyron I cannot for the life of me see what people see in Josie to me she is a sly little minx.

Me neither Squiggle but there's plenty of time for the "real" Josie to come out yet.  Unlike her Ben has been real from the start and cannot change to suit what people want to see of him!!

Joyron we do think alike even though people go on about him I won't try and explain Ben, what you see is what you get, warts and all and I am sure he would be the first to say that he has many faults.

So glad that we are thinking the same Squiggle.  Hopefully people will, at the end of the day, see that Ben was REAL and not manufactured.

Signing out for the night as hubby is on his way home.  Will catch up again tomorrow. 

Evening Buddies
Haven't watched any LF today but I did see last night's HL show and I thought Ben was hilarious when he was imitating JJ. Even John James was laughing.

Evening Buddies 

Really am turning the computer off now!!  Just a little bump as we are on page 2 already.

I like Ben am going off Mario day by day.

Is there anywhere I could watch Ben's impression of JJ? I missed it and tried to watch the catch up today but had to turn it over, I want to see this, it sounds so funny.

Loved watching Ben watch the task crossed legs.

Mary, it's in the last 5 minutes I watched it 3 times.

Thanks squiggle for posting the link. It was so funny even JJ was laughing too But I don't think Nathan or Steve picked up the humor of it at all.

hello.
i agree erin, mario just int doing it for me, i like ben alot more.

Bumping for Ben.

Front page please

They are all swapping beds ,Ben just said to Dave about moving his things ,They all laugh .Ben doesn't have any" things", what he has belongs to the other hms .Dave just said to him the only things you have are your Jaffa Cakes.

Nite nite bump Buddies

Ben looks really good right now on LF.

Morning everyone.    Lots of threads about Ben on here this morning.  He is fast becoming the most talked about HM!!

Hope all Ben's Buddies are well this morning.  Hope to catch up with you all later. 

Morning Joyron, you're an early bird today.
Morning Buddies.
I am catching up on last night's LF and Ben is sharing a bed with Corin and they are chatting about Corrrie and having a right old giggle. It's good to see those two bonding a little.

Good morning Buddies, you are very welcome Blue Diamond.  When I was watching that bit, with (most of) the other HM's in fits around the dining table, can you imagine the house without Ben in it?  It would be so dull.  I hear various FM's saying 'oh Ben is this, Ben is that' but he is just such good fun and such a good friend to everyone in there.  Even Nathan is casting off his instant 'reverse snobbery' because of the way that Ben speaks and realising that Ben is not like that at all, but a really good person to talk to.

Onward and upwards for more Ben watching, catch you later -I love to see us all in here helping to keep Ben's thread up there, thank you and lets get together in here for some more Ben chat soon

Morning Squiggle.

 Morning buddies
