if a former housemate, let alone a winner of bbau wants to post threads with exclusive interviews with the evictees of the week, why would anyone want to dissuade that? if youre really turned off to exclusive bbau interviews (on bbba of all places) put ben on ignore and be done with it for good!
I never said he cannot do the interviews.
My points:
1) I think it is ridiculous that Benjamin is creating a new thread every week and basically the same one twice a week as well. How come he needs to make a new thread every single time there is a new interview or when he decides to finally post the full interview? Surely one thread would be suffice. Is it a Scoopla thing and/or self promotion? Where he has to create new threads to spark interest and money? He is so worried that people will miss these interviews but if people are interested they would keep up to date with ONE Scoopla interview thread. When you reply to a thread the topic goes straight to the top on the first page. The topic would also appear "unread" so you definitely would know when there are new posts.
The new threads twice a week, every week screams shameless self-promotion. So many people here were worried and annoyed by @TALENTstanner always having to create the daily show thread. This is much worse in my opinion because it's the same bloody topic again and again. And you have to trawl through them when going back pages to get to topics of interest.
2) I did have Benjamin on ignore when he first joined but then decided I would rather see his posts especially considering some of his replies to the "Benjamin officially joins" thread and some of the crap he spoke and claimed about Estelle.
Benjamin's "exclusive" interviews don't interest me in the slightest so I pretty much ignore them. I prefer Luke Blundell's wonderful chats. Why Scoopla hired Benjamin is a mystery in itself.
3) About the actual interviews: Benjamin never asked Alex M. about why we don't have a twitter live feed. He said he would ask questions on behalf of the people of Behind Big Brother. He has not done that. He is only here for shameless self promotion and $$$. The only person who is benefiting from these Scoopla interviews is himself. Luke Blundell actually wants and is happy for the BBB members to ask questions to the evictees and he does exactly that in his interviews and keeps it to *gasp* one thread!
