That the sort of thing I could see BB doing but if its a dinner party with some of the other HMs then fair enough. If Laura's there Rachel will just accuse Ben of being a playa again

I think it was the week leading up to Laura, Jo and JJ2 coming into the house, so the week before he got evicted. I think it was also the same week when he confided with John James that he was doubting whether he was really 'normal' because he didn't seem to relate or react the same way as other HMs.

It matches with what he said in the interview saying it was probably his worst week - feeling lonely, isolated and doubting himself...


You know it!


Oh! So, we might have more Ben on BBLB?

I wonder who's going? Shabby? That would be interesting, as he said he wished they got to know one another better. I think he and Sunshine will be a laugh too.

I also wonder if Rafe is going to return the favour and help out with the cooking

Verence, have you seen the film which is on the horror channel later The other day, they had a film about a girl who had teeth below Tonights film's not much better

Sorry off topic

On Topic: I love Ben

That sounds interesting I wonder whose going?

At least we know that Ben's not going on a date exclusively with Rachel.

I hope its being filmed for BBLB as it will give us a little bit more Ben on our tv and am sure it will be great fun if he's hosting it

I wonder what will be on the menu?

To be honest, going from his reaction on BBBM the other night, I think he probably refused point black to go on a date with her The dinner party is probably a compromise.

Whatever ready meals are available at Waitrose?

Ben did seems a little obsessed with Waitrose in the house. Just another quirky oddity I loved about him

Susann, I've just read about the film you mentioned and I won't be watching it!!!

Sounds like Sunshine is going to the dinner party if her cryptic tweet she's just posted is anything to go by.



I'm filming tomo! Excited get to see people I really want to see, but not saying who, what, where, whys or hows!!

I did toy with the idea of tweeting her and saying, "Oh so your going to Ben's dinner party as well are you?", but thought it was a bit mean lol

Who can blame him - good food and wine

Hee, I saw that tweet and thought of Ben's party too. I think it will be on BBLB then. Yay!

Great Hope original Rachael is there too and then silly bint Rachel can call him a player again

Yeah I'm guessing the two Rachel's will be there, maybe Nathan, Keeley and Shabby as well. Hope Ife's not though as she was a bitch to Ben.

Hee, Ben really, really lusted Rachael1!! Although she's going out with Nathan now, so I doubt he will be throwing his charm that way

Maybe that's kind of lucky since Rachel2's head might have exploded!

She wasn't from Bristol perchance ?

I don't ever remember Ben fancying the first Rachael, the first I knew of it was when she was evicted and we saw his goodbye message to her. Mind you the whole focus of the show was on Shabby at that time so maybe we just didn't see it?

Off topic question.

I'm curious when do ap threads go to part 2,3 etc. Our last thread was at 262 pages before it was closed. Another popular thread on here was made into the next part when it got to page 183.

Just a bit baffled why different threads are updated at different times and its not consistent?

Thats good news Will be looking out for the dinner party on BBLB next week. It will be interesting to see who goes besides Rachel and Sunshine.

Yeah he always liked Rachael - he was really sad she went. Dave was already getting rid of the competition

Did my weekly shop there today. My excuse for the extravagance is that it's 5 mins from the house and I don't have to queue like I do in Tesco

I only remember because of that clip where Ben is telling Mario he's not interested in him that way, saying that what he had with Mario was more important to him because they had a proper friendship while what he had with Rachael was just pure lust and shallow.

That was when I really loved Mario/Ben, so it stuck in my mind.

i think it's suppose to be around the 5000 mark, but it's not a hard and fast rule.

I liked that Rachael. John James was a right @&£$# to her. I never understood Dave's motivations for nominating her, I think he doesn't like attractive women who make the most of themselves and flash a bit of flesh personally.

^^ look at the first reply Firstly, that's me she replied to and secondly Ben will be on something this week!

Ben definitely fancied the first Rachael but she never gave him the time of day. I remember one night John James had a go at Ben because he asked Rachael if she wanted a glass of water before she went to bed and John James thought he shouldn't do that as she was so uninterested in Ben. This confused Ben bless him as he didn't understand what was so wrong in asking her if she wanted a drink.
