Ben has great taste in friends, except when it came to Dave the mad monk.

LOL Dave the monk was awful, I still can't believe that he managed to pull the wool so far over the public's eyes, but then I guess that a lot of them didn't watch the live feed at all.

OMG yes.....there seems to be a lot of similarities with the editing of these two as well, in the later stages of the game
Ben is lovely. He is adorable and very, very charming indeed. I've been aware that Gina is friends with him for a while, but this is the first time she's mentioned it whilst in the house.
Caroline was just well... The less said the better there

Yessss! Can see them at the Bilderberg Meeting, worshipping the Owl before shedding humanoid skins and dancing round as natural Reptilian selves!! Now THAT'd be something Richard Desmond should televise on Ch 5 WORTH WATCHING!!

Ugh ugh--where IS Fake Dave now?? I LOVED BEN--he stole 'Come Dine' off Rafe even lurking in the kitchen, and his BB pop-songing was A Treat. Indeed, he Went Before His Time due to inverse snobbery--ie hating those who are felt to have been luckier in life than you, [despite any eg Noblesse Oblige, or sick/disabled/suddenly unemployed after 45 yrs' low-paid work on benefits]. Ben was an idiotic joy & great TV, despite his horrific make-up and singing! Bless.

Fake Dave is still down in Newport I think. Very strange man indeed.
I LOVED Ben - seeing him walking around that house in his Arabian housecoat made my day! He was a cracking HM who didn't have to do a lot to entertain most people.
