Hey Scotty didn't see you there

Jo is asking Ben if he is serious..

Ben yes of course..

Jo so why is Rachel saying you said the same thing about meeting his friend Jenny..


they haven't thought this out properly..


Ben prefers seeing people one on one.. but he could manage two at a time..

Jo says hang on this is serious..

Jo will like his friend Tara Moon, but Racehl won;t

Rachel wonders why she won;t

Ben goes ok well maybe you will..

they are still on Thursday night. .Jo seriously says to him with a straight face I need to know what you have planned for me and where I will sleep..

Steve is laughing in the background.

Rachel says why are you saying the same things to her as you said to me

Ben says you are both welcome

Rachel just not at the same time??

Ben says well yes if you want but I prefer the one to ones with you all. .then he tells her she knows she is special to him.

think Ben may have cottoned on it might not be for real.. or maybe not.. he's still sorting out who will sleep in the spare room..

He wants to take them to Ronnie Scotts..

This is bluddy silly..

Rachel winding him up about when they are supposed to have their talk..

Jo going on at him abotu making cups of tea...

Ben didn't come to the hut cos Jo told him to  make her tea which he ahd promised to make her..  and now there are too many people in there for a chat


Ben is laughing at all this. .thankfully..

it's a pretty forced 'betrayal' scenario.. .the guy never had a chance. .he is quite capable of getting in that mess all by himself  without them forcing him into it

anyway they are talking Jazz now..

laters Katerina and thanks

I'm off for a bit now too ,  gotta be careful with me eyes and the screen and Nomms and SAR  will be up in a while..

see ya's later

Rachel is telling Steve what ehr adn Jo were doing.. she asks if all men are like that

Steve says nah...

She went thru a faze before she came in thinking they were

Steve says nah there are some genuine ones out there. .alstho he was a bit of a rogue when he was younger..

Rachel; doesn't want to be single forever. .but she finds it hard to find genuine  guys who aren't like Ben..

[she's pretty put out that her imaginary relationship with Ben didn't work out.. next time ladee if a guy paws you tell him to get orf until you know his real intentions ]

Seems Jo has let Ben off the hook as he's explaining how the misunderstanding with him and Rachel occurred

he tells Jo that Rachel was a bit more special to him than the other girls

Jo says ah yeas she is more you type

Ben says yeah but surely she should have known that things with Laura were not the same

Jo says but in Rachels mind she can't read yours and see's the same things happening between you and Laura as happened with her and Ben..

Ben admits maybe he does understand and he does or did quite fancy Rachel..

Ben is worried he would come across as an opportunist sleaze-bag to the public .. just cos he likes to flirt.. 

Jo tells him he won't and not to worry and to not change himself cos they love him like he is..

Bena nd Jo laugh things off but Ben says he IS sorry he upset Rachel cos they did have a special fondness for each other different to the other relationships he has in theres

Jo assures him Rachel will stay in contact on the outside..

Ben also mentions something abotu liking  innuendo and banana's

John and Josie by the pool outside, Steve is there too. Josie has her head on John's lap, he's stroking her hair. Her face is turned towards him.

Her hair looks so dry and brittle from being in the sun, that girl needs a good conditioning treatment!

John gets up. Josie gets up. Jos asks people if they want snacks, toast.

Steve said 'yeah, toast, cheese and ham, whatever'

Corin says she's taken off the false eyelashes, cos they were so clumped together she couldn't open her eyes properly this morning. nice!

BB tells HMs to gather on the sofas. Here we go.......

Dave 'there's no anxiety for me'

Dave gestures for Ben to sit next to him. Ben is in a dressing gown because he was about to run a bath.

Rachel is next to Steve. Rachel is still playing hard done by but smiling as well.

Dave says 'I'll go for me plus three'

They all put their bets in. Corin says plus two.

BB makes the noms announcement.

Steve is shocked to hear his name. Rach says 'we must be all up then'

Ben's not surprised to hear his.

John James gives a peace sign and smiles when he hears his name, he's eating a banana.

Dave says 'well you all know I didn't vote for you'

Josie sits next to John sucking her thumb. Ben says 'I'm in pretty good company, at least I'm with the heavyweights'

John wonders what the S&R task will be, with Steve involved this time.

Steve says 'eight weeks, not nominated once, time's gotta come hasn't it'

Ben's enthusing about being in the 'dream team' 'at least I'm up with the best!'

Lots of hugging going on, especially Rachel and Dave.

Ben 'in a way i'm surprised there wasn't six people up'

Rachel's telling Steve 'you've gotta do your best, think of the bigger picture' Steve looks reflective in his usual arms-out position on the sofa.

Josie and Corin are having a fag.
Corin 'can't believe it'
Josie 'I reckon it might be me' 'if me and John James are up.....'
They're already pre-empting who's going to be replaced!!
Mario says it will be him. and he's fine with it.
Jos says 'you quite enjoy it now, don't you Mario' and laughs.

Josie says 'ello Cougar you look absolutely gorgeous sex on legs today'
Corin asks he where her jumper is from, Jo says Topshop.

Conversation is now all about Jo.
Jo says she's never had a valentine's card, no interest from men.
Josie says 'I can't believe you avent got about 300 husbands out there'

Andrew comes over to Laura, Corin and Josie. Steve's there now too.

They say there's a possibility of a double eviction because there's four up.

Dave's in the bathroom, he's not confident of staying up against the 'heavyweights' in the house.

Dave said I thought either the Baron or Mario would be up

Dave's stressing about who he would put up if he wins S&R. 'the other thing is, how can rachel and corin be up last week, and neither of them up this week?

Ben's in the shower, they're in danger of breaking rules now because they're analysing how the nominations would have panned out this week.

PLEASE BB eliminate Dave from the Save and Replace for talking about nominations constantly!!!

Ben says he's curious about what the public thinks of him. 'I want to be here if the public want me to be here' he's talking to JJ, who says that's what everyone wants.

Dave 'maybe if i was up against andrew rachel and corin I think i'd have a chance, but up against these guys....i was hoping for a test, but not such a stern one'

(How insulting to those three!)

Ben looks like different person with his wet hair plastered over his face in the shower. he squints and rubs his eyes.

Kitchen
Josie and Jo exchanging compliments, Jo says she likes Josie's blue eyeliner. Josie does the impression of her mum dancing, talking about going out to clubs. She does the hand clapping and whoops really loudly.

Mario and Andrew, Jo, Rachel are sitting at the table.Mario laughs about the fact that no-one wants to save themselves.

Gotta go now, byeee

Nice one Katerina. . 

I can;t believe I missed the announcement... first one I missed this series..

I had to nip next door. .but thank gawd for E4 + 1 so I can see their faces... I forget you can't rewind the Internet Feed and I always forget it's on the box in the afternoon... 

I think Dave has just said to Mario that if he won the SAR he'd put either Josie or Andrew up..

I was half listening to the LF and the box so may have got him wrong..

E4 cut to ads after John James name was called I think, I switched to the net feed then. Blummin annoying when they do that!!

by process of elimination Ben reckons he's left with either ding an eeny meeny or choosing Rachel cos they argued most recently.. 

He's not sure what he would do..

Nor is JJ...

Andrew is looking a bit down cos he's a contender too..

oh noooooooes it's just coming up on + 1 now...

I've got it on again to see......oh the ads cut in just before John's name! Tsk.

bliddy annoying isn't it?  

Ben was just moaning to Jo that Mario didn't want him to put him up in the  random pick way he was goign to do it if he won..


Jo tells him NO!! you do what you want to do. .it's about you and focusing to save yourself..


BB calls them to the  Sofa's


anyway she says, as Ben fiddles with his hair and the straightens. .  you need to put some trousers on never mind the hair for now 

Ben says I thought you  liked me without trousers.

they both giggle as they wander off to sit down.. 

{just watching Dave pretend he is soooo not bothered abotu being up. .yeah right }

the SAR is a Bride throwing a bouquet to a catcher of their choice..

I think the one that throws and has   the most caught  wins..

Dave picked Mario as a catcher

Steve picked Corin

JJ didn;t pick Josie cos she isn't very good I think.... dunno who he picked.. mabe Joe John?

I think Ben may have picked Laura?

Ben asks  Dave to let him know are they throwing the task

Mario says no don't...

Dave says has talked to the others who have said they aren't going to throw it now

Ben asks Mario what to do

Go with your heart says Mario


Dave has his head in his hands..

am still not sure who JJ chose but Laura is definitely Ben's catcher..

Dave's result of his head in his hands is he tells Mario I am just going to chuck a few and

Mario is going to fumble then drop them

he's done two and can't do it again... 

Corin tells Steve she will be trying her best for him... 

Steve says I know you will. .I can;t trust anyway else except Dave and he's up so I cna't choose him

Laura tells Ben  he would be fine, he's been saved by the public before

Ben says but that was weeks ago I've been a bit mopey since then..

Ben doesn't know what to do about the task..

Laura is giving him a face mask . .

Rachel is screeching cos the outfits are PROPER BRIDES DRESSES... NICE ONES TOO... !!!!

Dave has to breathe in.. then calls his dress a fat girls wedding dress..

it's a strapless number

Steve seems to have some drag queen style sequinned jobby..

the catchers have red all in one lycra.

.JoeJ is JJ's catcher just seen him changing..


Ben has a Bra top in zebra print with black and cerise lace trim..

Andrew loves it..

JJ has a low cut dress, sleeveless but with shoulder straps and a nice train..

Ben must have been trying on one of the girls bra's cos now he is putting on a strapless number now with a knee high swishy thingy..

he's now moaning about Mario to Andrew .. saying he was emotionally blackmailing him and he'd wanted to do a random choice if he won and Mrio told him not to in case Mario was the random choice..

JJ walks in the BR wearing his dress and veil..

Dave has donned his veil and has a bouquet too..

Jo is trying to zip Ben up..

Ben thinks his dress is the nicest


Jo reckons John's is

Ben wants her to sort his make up out

Jo says be quick tho you only have 15 mins..

Ben seems to enjoy the cougar 'bossing' him around

Laura wants Ben to leave the bathroom cos it is too hot

he'd rather stay cos the others are freaking him out a bit..


Ben is doing funny face rubbing movements  [think he had some face wash on] and facial expressions and hair fixing all jerky movements at the same time.. looks a tad odd..

Laura is now bronzing his chest for him..

ewwwwwwwwwwwckk   DAve face make up not looking too good

Ben still insists on staying in the bathroom so poor Laura wrapped up in her Lycra outfit has to brave the heat to do his make  up..

She is clipping his hair up but he wants to fiddle with it a bit just to tweak it some the way he wants it..

Ben admires himself in the mirror.. picks at his hair and then his nose


OMG  JJ has huge black eye liner on his eyes a la Shabby. .

not a good look 

Back to Ben still admiring himself in the mirror. .[nothing new there tho ]

Laura returns and Ben explains a bit more how he'd like her to do his hair.. [do it yaself ]

ello olls,xxx. thnaks.

BB telsl the bides they are not to wear T shirts udner their gowns.

JJ had one on. .not sure aobut DAve or Steve, Ben hasn't..

Ben now has a flower headband on and Lauara has told him she literally cannot take the ehat in there anymore so he'll have to move

He does but not without another stop to fiddle and admire himself in the mirror..

he kinda looks like a 20's flapper

Thanks Olly  who do you think is going to win the SAR?

JJ makes one eck of a fugly bride..

Ben looks like his twin  sister would. .if he had one..

heya Aimee

I think JJ may win. .he's desperate to save Josie I reckon.. tho I am not sure who he'd put up. .Rachel probably..

She is looking worried cos only Dave  is a definite safe bet for her..

Brides have 2 mins left..

Mario walks in and tells Ben he will win as the others are defo throwing it..

Ben says I can tell LAura not to catch them either..

Mario reckons they'll be there till late into the night if everyone is throwing it..

Mario is jellus he wants to wear a dress too..

Ben looking very pretty..

Jj looking even uglier..

Dave and steve looking like men who took a worng turn adn ended up in a Drag show

Bens till doesn;t know what to do..

Andrew says go for it...

Ben says I dunno . .you heard MArio going mental about it

LAura wants to try..

Ben says they already think I am.. .treacherous cos I never stood up.. you know what John's like [his voice has gone into petulant whiney mode]

Andrew says don't worry. .do what you want..  it's your experience..

Laura puts Ben's veil on. .his is a face covering one.. oh she put it on back to front 

Ben thinks he looks liek an arab now

he doesn't mind tho cos he loves Arabs

{and would never live in Israel according to him. .. *rubs chin* ]

Andrew says he looks like Laurence of Arabia

Ben likes that


then again he asks them what to do [use your own mind fgs ]

Heya Jackson just spotted ya..

My eyes are going blurry again. .they better hurry up or I won;t be able to see to type soon

Laura escorts Ben Bride to the Living area..

Lots of  laughs from the other brides.. [wonders if they've  looked in the mirror recently ]
