Glad we're agreed on that one

Ben.

After that ghastly version of "All By Myself" and several displays of his arrogant attitude, there's no way he can win me over.

I wanna be all by myself? Thank God. Go. Now. Please.

By the way. I thought Seamus had an amazing voice and talent but just could not see him as Joseph. I feel the same about Daniel”

I would watch out for the fireworks when ben gets booted out - with his arrogance, he will make seamus look like a pussycat!

Yes he has come across as being arrogant but we all have to remember that this is showbusiness, and everyone who performs has to be arrogant, and think that they are good enough, otherwise no one would ever audition for things. Also, they have to make a television programme that people are going to tune into so just remember that you are being shown what the BBC want you to see!”

Glad to hear this from someone that knows him personally.

If he was really arrogant and hard to work with I don't think they would have redressed the balance with the chat last week after his song on his ill fated words.

I admire his determination to come fighting back like he has done after been the real underdog from not just the judges but the other contestants too is a real credit and I am thrille dhe is starting to shine .

I have been routing for him since the sing off with seamus and guess not everyone can feel the same way as I do but that is life!

I don't like the ill-concealed bitterness he shows towards Lee and I imagine the Lee voters don't either. (Even the nasty look he threw him on Paul O'Grady!)

His weak excuse last weekend of "I was stressed" to ALW for his attitude even got the audience booing.

Still least favourite.

.”

Ive noticed he seems to have issues with Lee, like when they did that task where they all had to say what they disliked about eachother and Ben said to Lee "I hate the way you think you have won"

How do we know that they got to choose what they said in that task? I thought that was part of one of the general acting tasks? For all we know (unless it was said and I missed it!), he could have been told to say that.

I don't think so, as you see Daniel saying that I can't think of anything nasty to say about Craig, so it seems that they were not fed lines to say

Rachey27

23-05-2007

Maybe. But then we saw Daniel say about craig that theres nothing he didnt like about him, so i assumed they got to say what they wanted.

They were told to say something bad about the other one. think John barrymore to Rob the builder - you really piss me off.............i think that was mild he could have said I hate how your breath always smells of onions

...........quickly runs from thread before the lee fans start pelting me

On that basis Lewis wants to put Craig in hospital.

Btw, that bit of the task was hilarious.

Which to be honest was a very bad show for an acting task when they have been given the remit of saying what they didn't like about the other person

Im not a craig fan, so i fully support Lewis in his bid to get craig in hospital.

Craig did call lewis a girl though....which to be fair IS TRUE

That would perpetuate in the minds of the audience that Daniel is Mr Nice Guy.

I know, but thats just Daniel isnt it, he doesnt seem to say a nasty thing about anyone.

I could think of PLENTY of things to say about Craig...or Keith.

I would say that it is a perm.”

Oh well, he's still my favourite....

They had to tell the other person what they don't like about them, plus Ben wasn't told to bitch about ALW!

One hundred per cent agreed. The thing that irks me is that, although Andrew and the panel have been pushing the other contestants out of their comfort zones, making them jump through hoops and asking different things of them every week, they seem perfectly content to let Keith sing an easy song with zero charisma every week, tell him he's brilliant and move on. Do they really think he could possibly pull this role off?

I really don't like Lee, far too up himself, I don't think Lewis is that great either.
