I wouldn't encourage anyone to go on the show now, it's simply not worth the hurt especially with bad editing, a spin-off show that shows no restraint, being black-listed by much of the media and not even the full monetary reward to look forward to.

.
I must admit that it was a revelation to me when the This Morning job was cancelled BECAUSE they found out he had been on Big Brother. It's come a long way since the days when it opened doors.

And generally I agree with you. I think BB can work well for someone like Lauren: socially skilled (more than she realized), talented, pretty, happy to return to her ordinary life straight afterwards, seemingly able to shrug it all off as just an amusing holiday she had had. But you don't have to turn to the unpopular housemates to find signs that it isn't all jam. He will never say so, but I think Benedict must sometimes think it hasn't been worth the hassle. Apart from anything else, his volatile teenage son seems to have come in for all kinds of shit, and at 18 is hardly likely to be an expert at dealing with it. BB13 was quite a cruel series in some ways. They didn't seem to be able to make the housemates even half way friendly to each other. Other series have not been like that. I wish Luke had been in one of the nicer series.

Looks like Luke and Becki have separated.
Shit. For real? Damn as if I wasn't feeling crappy enough. Poor darlings.

Really sad isn't it? They seemed so happy and were a great support to each other.

Oh, my last post has been removed. Oh dear, maybe the DS mods thought I was referring to events on here. I wasn't, of course, as those of you in the loop will know. Sorry for any misunderstanding, lovely DS mods.

They do tell you if anything has ruffled their feathers. As I have discovered on occasion.

Luke's hair now back to black. It suits him and doesn't look Gary Numan because his natural colouring is so tanned.

Hmm, I've been on this Naughty Step so long it's starting to get strangely comfortable...

Ah well, let's look on the bright side. At last I've had a proper excuse to send Luke a friend request. I owe him a grovelling apology, whether he needs one or not. I only really care whether he was the one who found me offensive (to the point where I feel physically sick ). I don't have to pander to those who think it's their job to be offended on his behalf.

Well, I'm persona non grata too. Apparently Luke was really upset by my comments. I thought he knew me well enough to know that I only had his best interests at heart and feel like giving the group a break right now.

Did he say that? I can't imagine either of you saying anything that would upset him. You are both very loyal and supportive, I'm sure he realises this.

I've PM'd you exactly what I said. I had a feeling it might end up being deleted and I wanted a copy.

It's only just beginning to sink in now to be honest. I can't believe that he was upset - I expected something along the lines of 'that's what my mother said to me'

I'll reply to your PM and give you the full answer I wouldn't want to say in public but I don't think you have anything to worry about. As I said, I think this is more a case of people getting offended on his behalf but I just feel the need to talk to him privately just to be on the safe side. Thanks Hulakula for your vote of confidence too, much appreciated!

Let me know if he accepts your friend request please. I've always avoided that because I didn't want to overwhelm him. Sharing my thoughts on the facebook group and letting him visit it when he wished to and comment if he wanted to was always enough for me.

I'm sure if Luke was really offended he would have told you both directly and not through a third party. I hope you're both ok, I know it's easy or me to say but try not to beat yourself up about it .

I'm going to put this into the public domain: he thanked you for your post.

On a positive note, I was pleased to see a silly troll on twitter accusing him of getting beheaded after Big Brother.

Thank you but I still feel devastated that I may have upset him.

I'm sorry Perhaps you should send him a message? I'm sure he would have told you directly if you had offended.

I don't want to send him a message. He has enough people who think he owes them something without me jumping in and demanding attention. Besides if he has something to say to me and was offended and upset by what I said he should have spoken to me directly.

I said to him exactly what I would say to my son in that position and absolutely with his best interests at heart. Maybe some day he'll realise I was right. I just hope it's not too late.

Just starting to sink in now and to be honest I'm getting a little upset. It's starting to remind me of that quote 'First they came for the communists and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist ...' Silly thing is, most of the other bust-ups I've understood and agreed with the decisions taken. I've seen some of those who were ousted tweet nasty upsetting things to Luke and the other admins and seen hurtful comments addressed directly to Luke on the facebook group but mine wasn't hurtful, at least that wasn't the attention - I was trying to give Luke some good advice for getting his life back on track and making him happier whether with Becki or without. I know what it is like when you are a sensitive person - one nasty comment from someone drags you down far more than a hundred nice comments can ever pick you back up which is why I suggested he stays off twitter for a while. If anyone wants to know what I wrote please feel to PM me and, if I think you're friendly to me and to Luke, I'll copy it to you.

I will get over it but I am very upset right now.

Yes he did, almost immediately, so at least that shows he still wants to talk to me! I'm the same as you, I was never going to be one of those who sent him a request as soon as he appeared on FB. He knows us very well now and knows how genuine we are, so I'm sure he'd love to hook up with you too. Damn those of us who always sit there waiting for the other person to make the first move! There should be a little symbol or something we could display so we can recognise each other, then flip a virtual coin or something to decide who sends the other person the request!

You and I have had our chat in private so you know how I feel about how your comment went down. Obviously though this has hurt you even more than we thought. I was just off to draft my grovellingly tactful and sensitive PM to Luke so I'll do my best to gauge his mood. If he's cool with me he'll be cool with you. Guarantee it.

Wish me luck. If you never see me again, he's fed me to the pugs.

I don't believe that you said anything to upset Luke as you come across as such a nice person. What on earth is going in the FB group? Methinks Luke may have had a little push there

Good luck Val but I know you won't need it

He is now back on twitter. I don't know why he threatened to quit just because of a few people trying to rile him up and that BBxtra idiot.
