Ben’s Gone, Sam’s In

Not a surprise that Ben’s gone after Natasha and Mario both had a go at him for his schmoozing around.  He was great at being the group joker and hugger and there is no place for him in the group as his closest allies start to forge those relationships with people who they feel will help then to stay in the House as long as possible.   He’s given us so many funny moments like the sergeant trying to get him to work out in the Boot Camp, the Goldfinger song with Corin.  He’s been under pressure so many times and although there’s obviously been turmoil inside of him, his #vocal response has been in the same measured tone.    He was pants at tasks, but he never tried to pretend he was any good.  Not a team player but a team mascot.  The House won’t be the same without him.  It seems that he would have to be out of the spotlight to really get up close and personal so who knows what will happen between him and Natasha once she’s out of the House. Let’s hope that Sam won’t be the group’s next lamb to the slaughter.

Great to hear that Davina thinks Ben would make a good interviewer.

I’m not Ben’s mum but if I were I’d want to go into the Big Brother House and give him a big hug. I’d also want to give him a big talking to and tell him to stop behaving like a wet weekend in Skeggy.
What’s with the whining? Ok, you’ve done some silly stuff, but you were big enough to apologise. Now let it go. Shabby knows a moment when she hears one and as soon as you went to her cap in hand, she seized that moment and reeled you in. As her voice grew stronger and she jumped on the sofa to give herself even more power, your voice got weaker and weaker. When she said “I don’t like you”, it was as cruel as being back in the children’s playground – but you’d asked for it.
Get wise, stop whispering around and start thinking about who you like (apart from Caoimhe and Mario) and not who dislikes you. Your American game show accent was a laugh – you sounded like a party animal instead of a party pooper, but easy does it or you’ll drive them all mad. Maybe your spirits were lifted by being sucked up to for an afternoon by Shabby – if so, oh Ben, that’s so sad.
It’s going to be a pity if either Ben or Shabby go too early. They are the “performers” of the group and bring in a lot of entertainment value. As time goes on and the real stuff starts to come out, we won’t miss them so much.

Have you noticed how the balance in the strong voices department is with the girls this year?
