Perhaps he could persuade his friend Dave, the toilet attendant to come along, he was quite nice. Show first, followed by dinner and then drinks at Mahiki.

Yah dahhhling! That sound fab-u-lous!!!

And facebook Ben S. He looks alright in his facebook profile pic

Yeah he is fit isn't he it? You can't beat a bit of posh totty, and I have it on good authority that posh people are absolute filth

Thank you! I've lived on my own before when I lived at Uni, (don't know if that really counts) so I kind of know what to expect.

I'm moving in with a friend as her parents leaving to have their own space - and it's only £200 a month!!

I'm going to be 23 in December, I've spent too much time at home, so this feels like a natural progression for me, even though I am very much a Mummy's girl


Only if they can also perform Diamonds Are Forever, it's my FAVE Bass-miester song <3


you know what this means.... talent contest... Ben and I as judges!

I just miss seeing Ben on my screen every night.

I have only watched on eviction nights since he left.

It simply isn't the same without him.

Me too! I screamed when he was in that video last night!!

Lucky you, due to financial considerations I still live with my parents and the only time I haven't is when I was at uni

I'm 25 and i still live with my parents I could move away but i just can't imagine living alone and i can't leave my dogs and i would miss my father too much

2 Ben mentions in the HLs.

Jo and Mario talking about Friday, and Jo commenting that everyone who gets close to Mario leaves and mentions Nathan, Ife and Sunshine. Mario laughs and agrees and adds 'and Ben'.

Dave discussing who he thought would have been contenders to win/been popular with the public. He think Nathan () and 'maybe Ben'

Yeah, Dave seems to be obsessed with Ben.

I can beat that Kris, I'm 39

I am in great danger of revealing far more about myself than I would like to in this thread so I will just say that I think you should never be embarrassed about spending time with your parents - savour and love all the time you have with every person you love while it lasts .

And on a lighter note - in your own flat, beware of writing messages to passers by in newspaper cuttings and posting them in your windows!! Well I don't know if you have to be wary really, but we thought it'd be amusing to write a message in our window for the fire station opposite [I used to be awoken at 4am by my room flashing blue! And can also say that the firemen in our station were really not what you'd anticipate...!] to read when I lived away from home and not in Uni accommodation, but my flatmate's parents told us at the time we had to take said message down as it might attract psychopaths who wanted to kill us!! Hope you'll have lots of fun Maria anyway . haha, not sure I chose the most apt time to say that, eh?!

PS I knew plenty a posh person at Uni (well, a few at least) - shocked me when first we went to a formal hall at a different college and back to a posh person's room and they had different crystal decanters for their different drink stuffs and that !!! But I can say that all walks of people come in all types in my experience and 'tis in my view a most happy thing indeed that this is so . I always maintain you can but feel for people in terms of how they are with you - take people for how they are and not what they have done or what surrounds them.

This said, I know utterly nothing about life, the world or anything. So now, I'll shut up.

Ben was mentioned a few times in tonight's highlights which I actually watched. I can't remember anything much about it other than the fact that at least his name is still in use........... hrm

Can you believe it's been nearly two weeks since Ben was in the house? So sad

I missed the Ben mentions in the HL show. I did start watching it but fell asleep It just doesn't hold the same interest for me since Ben left

It does look like Mario is going to lose yet another one of his friends. As for Dave, at least this particular mention was a positive one. He was right about Ben being popular with the public but totally got it wrong when he mentioned Nathan!

Good luck with your new flat Maria

Spiral, it's just that I'm starting to think I'll end up as one of thos sad acts who lives with their parents their whole lives

*Edited away the rest *

And in a light manner again... Is this the Ben appreciation thread or our new support group or what?!

I think it's kinda nice anyway

Uni is the only time I've lived away from home

Have you seen BB's latest fix?? According to the Daily Star during after the eviction the HMs will be told about Ultimate BB and will be given a minute to decide which of them will get immunity from noms next week!!

Yep he is. Still trying to get him on Facebook but he is a technophobe like Benji.

From deductions and the fact that she looks a little like Laura (remember Ben saying about it in the house) I think that is the infamous Hattie. They look cute together don't they?

Could that man get any more gorgeous!?

Sorry about three posts in a row guys, but went to the gym last night then got thrashed on Badminton by my mum. Was slightly embrassing!

I went out with a fireman. He was gorgeous and lovely, but he didn't know who JFK was, or that the main chinese language is Mandarin, and thought Walford was a real place in London and tried to find it on the tube map. We had fun though

The Ben mentions were quite positive...well lukewarm, which is better than the pasting he normally gets


If any of the coasters get it - Josie, Steve or JJ2, I will so be mad!

Hope Sam gets it I've just been catching up on what happened last night and reading about John James bitching about Sam again and Sam overhearing, confronting him and then crying...I don't know what it is about Sam - if he's happy and joyful, I'm happy and joyful. If he's upset or crying, it breaks her heart. Grr, I want to slap John James with a wet fish sinece he's hurt Sam - I feel very protective


Whoever the woman is, she looks very similar to Ben. Same colouring, similar features. They could be siblings. Very pretty, anyway.

I think that, given the HMs will only have a minute to choose who gets the immunity it'll turn into a shouting contest much like the vote that got JJ2, Jo and Laura into the house. I'd put money on them giving it to Steve.

I also think that next week's pre S&R ticket will be Corin vs Sam vs Mario.

Wouldn't it be great if the S&R winner choose JJ1 and we were able to vote him out just before the final?? It would be almost as amusing as Kat's eviction back in BB9
