Benjamin HM 2012 - Officially joins Behind Big Brother.

Yes that is me. I was gonna do the whole anonymous avatar thing, but if I'm not afraid to voice my opinion in written form, I shouldn't be afraid to hide my face at the same time. As I said, my opinion on things at age 40 is different at age 20. No way would I have put my actual picture on anything at that age. I spent too much time worrying what other people would think of me back then, now after 4 kids and some hard things to deal with in life, I'm more about speaking what's on my mind, and try to do so in a positive manner.

Good for u and u do come across as positive. Well u finally motivated me to get a DP.......not me, but hey it's a step in the right direction. Might rethink it in a couple of months once I get this gym thing down pat lol
 
Yeah, the unwanted guests task was a lot of fun. I especially liked all those past BB players coming into the house and just messing with you guys.

When Estelle and I knew we had met before the house / show was fun. We kept trying not to let people know we had met in auditions

And yet, here you two are, bickering like an old married couple whose flame of tolerance has died. Why don't you kiss and make up?
 
Recognizing Stacey's voice as the ninja. When she came to get Delilah. I stood back laughing as 'Boozie dog' loved and hated Stacey. So when the ninja was struggling to get Delilah out - I knew it was a hate moment. Stace loved that dog so much.
 
That is very true. But it is annoying how he has decided to join up here and tries to justify his behaviour in the house and can't help trying to bring Estelle down yet again.

Like I said before he is here for his bruised ego and promoting his Scoopla project.

So what if he is here to promote Scoopla? I think just by posting we are all promoting something... our views, ideas, etc. If I was in his position, I would be doing the same thing, trying to promote my current project/career etc Now I can't speak for Ben (obviously) but I seriously doubt he joined up and started posting just to bring Estelle down again. I am certain he has better things to do with his time.

Maybe he really did want to come here and try to start fresh, admit past wrong doings, let everyone know he acknowledges it and is bettering himself as a person. Maybe he is trying to answer questions that fans of his series had? Maybe it's as simple as that? Why read too much into it? I understand you wanting to defend Estelle, but she is quite capable of doing that herself. It may be annoying to you what Ben says, and that is your right to feel that way, they are your own feelings.

At the end of the day I'm sure Ben and Estelle both realise that people are either going to like you or they won't. People can say positive or negative comments, it's how they deal with those comments and move forward that's important really. They can live in the nasty or breathe in the positive. That's my take on it all anyway. Thanks for the reply :)

I loved the unwanted guest task, fav part was probs Ray doing the "trust fall" in the bathroom with Estelle(i think?).
 
To those calling for Ben and Estelle to take it elsewhere. WHERE!

This is a Behind Big Brother Forum. Those in the Post HM Threads trail for hours through social media for this stuff. Here it is in our house. Are you guys for real!




This thread though!! The Behind Big Brother forum is EVEN better than the show!

Loved what you said ^ (and your overall post). I think former housemates being here is a really great opportunity to hear their story and get their perspective. I understand and love the passion people have for any housemate but when you get the chance to actually have an "online" conversation with them I think it's cheap to attack.

Ahh that's great you got a DP! Glad I could motivate you :) Good luck with the gym thing too, its hard to be motivated to go (for me) most of the time.

Speaking of Stacey - could you let her know we miss seeing her and her boyfriend in the 'hood.

I don't agree with that at all. There is a difference between just posting your thoughts here and promoting their own YouTube video series. Ben is trying to stay relevant and like most Big Brother ex-housemates want to be on TV and have a media career. And regarding your comment "I don't think he joined here to bring Estelle down". He does just this in his opening post.
 
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do, but I think it is good for the soul if we learn to forgive. And I am not just talking about the obvious dislike that Ben and Estelleave for each other. A lot of posters in this thread seem to have so much hatred for Ben , that it has well and truly has reached harassment. Yes we understand you don't like him, but really time to forgive and move on. I am not a fan of Estelle, there is a lot of things I don't like about her, but really all this abuse needs to stop. I come into this thread to read about BB, and all I see is bs:cautious:
 
My favorite task was the unwanted guests - just to be in the house with my favorite past housemates

That task was so good! From Ray returning, to previous series housemates coming in, to Mike Goldman narrating within the house with you, to kids running everywhere. Goldilocks and the three bears too in the kitchen for breakfast ( I think Sam was in the kitchen when they got there and called out to everyone else with some sortof codeword - chockas or something?). Oh and the Michael impersonator, and Fitzy/Fryzie/Ryan and Stacey couldn't keep it together. Still remember you leaving Michael alone while kids jumped on his bed and took his sheets and he had to ignore them, while talking to you - Still laugh about that one.

Oh and Steven Jacobs coming to you in the morning to wake you up with live cross to the Today show. Oh and you and Estelle beside the gym with the strongman I think kicked you over, and you had to act like it was Estelle?

Oh though I think you were in a bad mood at the start. Seem to recall you doing some stitching with Stacey of some sorts whilst Tim Brunero or Paul (and maybe others) came and tried to chat, and you seemed a bit annoyed.

I do wonder what you all must have thought when Mike Goldman came into the room when the lights would have been off in the morning though, whether someone had broken into the compound before he started talking. Not sure if that was when you were with Michael in the Captains Quarters or whatever it was at the time, so you may have missed that part.

Were you all ever allowed to talk about the unwanted guests after they had left? Don't think they really showed much of your reactions afterward.
 
I think Ben would have received a warmer welcome if he`d stuck to keeping things friendly, positive. Opening statement from him in a negative way was a bad move. If you don`t get on with someone, from your Big Brother experience, airing it in a Big Brother Forum is only asking for what it deserves. I don`t dislike Ben at all but I do dislike some things said, yet again. Can understand Estelle being very hurt, angry, I`d react in the same way. Hopefully, things can be resolved and something like this never happens again.

Oh wow.. so you guys did realise! Don't think we knew until she had Delilah out of the house.

Nah that was Stacey with Ray in the bathroom. They never did show us how Ray and Stacey got in there. We only saw him arrive through the kitchen (where Ben, Estelle and Stacey were) and then head outside (where Michael, Zoe, Sam and Layla were) and the later leave the house again. Not sure at what point Stacey left the kitchen and how Ray appeared with her in the bathroom. Would like to have seen how that occurred though.
