Why blame Ben?

Shabby saying that Ben is trying to be Nasty Nick so I may well pick that phone up and vote Shabby out now

She thinks that Ben nommed her and was only nice to early yesterday in order to make sure she didn't nom him

I'm so glad that Ben has proved he's nothing like what a lot of people thought he'd be on launch night.
He's a thoroughly decent, interesting chap and not at all snobbish as some may have suspected.
He's turning out to be a really great HM.

I saw that! What a ridiculous accusation! Ben is lovely.

hey, i haven't posted on here yet, but keep meaning to, so here i am!

i am a big fan of Ben, he was my favourite on the opening night, and he seems a really nice person.

Shabby starting on him over these nominations is ridiculous.

But Mario has and has already given him good advice re not doing things that can get you nommed

Both Ben and Mario seem to be pretty decent guys, unlike certain hms in the so-called "cool" gang imo.

He's going to get some stick for nominating

I think it will depend on his reasoning.

I was a bit disappointed when I found out that was one of his nominations but I still like him.

Shabby has been giving him such a hard time today and now Rachael has gone and repeated a conversation she had with Ben to Shabby et al. She's playing both side.

I'd imagine he did that cos of Verrucagate

I decided to come on here to support ben and am so please to see so many of the same people that I talked to on the same appreciation thread

We obviously can really sense the best HMs

I think ben is really interesting and though he has been in a lot of trouble today from Shabby generally seems to getting on well with the HM and hopefully the public

Yay shefair!

((((Group hug))))

I'm also going to give my support to Ben. He & Caoimhe are now my two favourites. Hoping their friendship develops more.

I thought on launch night that Ben would grow on me, and he has.

I assume we'll all be voting to get rid of Shabby?? If she stays her and Gollum will corral the "in-crowd" into block-nomming Ben

Yeah, I'll be voting Shabby out!

Yeah. He's still my favourite and living with Sunshine can't be easy but he's either someone's friend or he isn't!

Just popping in to show my support for ben. Thought on launch night that he was going to be a right idiot but hes grown on me and i like him

I'm a big fan of Ben popping in to give my support. I wasn't happy tonight, mind you. He needs to stop being so paranoid and trying to be friends with everyone. It's not making him look good.

He needs to get back to the dry humour which he is so good at.

I have a huge soft spot for Ben and absolutely adore him. Definitely has my full support.

I like Ben but although he considers Caoimhe his friend I really dont think she is overly keen on him.

I'd say Ben is almost certain to be on the ticket next alongside Sunshine and Dave.

I think you are right. Its a shame he really thinks some of the girls are his friends because he likes them and thinks they feel the same way. I was just reading on overnight updates that his irish 'friend' doesnt want him touching her any more.

You could be right but I hope that he would survive the vote if that happens. I think it all depends how things go over the next few days but its not looking good for Ben unfortunately. If Shabby goes her friends may blame Ben for their argument and nominate him next week. On other hand there are still quite a few days to go and anything can happen.

I didn't like the way JJ spoke to Ben last night about Rachael. He shouldn't have told him not to bother speaking to her. Its up to him who he speaks to and who he doesn't. His reaction when Ben took a drink to Rachael before she went to sleep was even worse. I really liked JJ at first but I'm not sure what to make of him at the moment.

I also like Ben,I think he has proved a lot of people wrong.Even if he was up for eviction the public will save him and that will hit the housemates.He has admitted to fancying Rachael and JJ has said he does not like her at all. Rachael does like JJ but when she finds out it might bring her closer to Ben.That seems to be the reason JJ is acting like that,I hope it backfires on him.Racheal will not be evicted this week and that will bring out more true colours of JJ.
