(Lost Pool - 4X03) How many minutes in will Ben get punched / kicked..?

Basq

Following on from an idea by Aldebaran in the 4X02 discussion thread, it's seems inevitable at this point that Locke / Sawyer is bound to punch Ben at some point in each episode. He was probably punched about 4 - 6 times in the first 2 episodes of season 4 alone.

So, I'm gonna put forward a pool collecting each persons vote for how many minutes in will Ben be punched or kicked (or til his ass gets kicked!). The footage in the "Previously On.." does not count so we can't just say < 1 minute.

Maybe if it's successful, we can continue this with future episodes with topics like "how long until Hurley says 'dude'?", "how long in until Jack uses his 'crazy eyes'!?" etc.

Put forward "your minute Ben gets beat his ass dowwwwwwwn!" below..

Currently in the pool:

• basquille / mc nuggets: 2 minutes in
• Aldebaran: 6 minutes in
• rkm: 4 minutes in
• Killaqueen!!! / fergmcd: 10 minutes in
• SumGuy: 31 minutes in
• CutieCat: 17 minutes in
• PullMyFinger!: 23 minutes in
• L31mr0d / Sad Professor / Axwell / prospect: Ben will be free from beatdowns for the duration of the episode
• AlmightyCushion: 9 minutes in
• Necromomicon: 30 minutes in
• Mr.Nice Guy: 15 minutes in
• qwertplaywert: 7 minutes in
• agamemnon: 25 minutes in
• wba88: 8 minutes in
• csk: 16 minutes in
• LadyPennyworth / cooker3: 11 minutes in
• yom 1: 12 minutes in
• DamoElDiablo: 18 minutes in
• Sleepy: 6 minutes in
• Snake Plisken / mountain lips: 24 minutes in
• DeadParrot: 35 minutes in
• Psychedelic: 37 minutes in
• bytesize: 33 minutes in

WINNERS: - congrats to our winners below:

• L31mr0d

Basq

Oh.. and I'm gonna say 2 minutes in.

Reason why..

with his revelation at the end of 4X02, Locke or Sawyer is bound to give him a bit of a kicking.

Aldebaran

Ha, ha. Nice one.

I'm gonna stick with six minutes in

Sherifu

4 minutes in.

Killaqueen!!!

10minutes.

Is someone actually going to time this on next weeks episode?

Yeah. I'll include the exact time, winner (closest if no-one gets it exact) and a screenshot of said "beating"!

Sinfonia

Just so the rules are clear, I'm gonna add some suggestions

1) The timing should exclude ads

2a) Voting should close for all before the US air date
2b) Results can be posted asap, but should be spoilered for UK/IRL airdate viewers


EDIT: I'm casting 31 minutes

CutieCat

I'll say seventeen minutes

PullMyFinger!

23 mins

jhegarty

The whole show will just be everyone taking turns to kick ben for 60 minutes....

L31mr0d

I'm going to say he won't get kicked or punched at all for the entire episode. This doesn't mean he won't be dragged around roughly.

AlmightyCushion

I'm gonna go with 9 minutes.

Necronomicon

Pity Michael is gone so we can't predict when he's gonna say "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllltttttttttttttttt!!"

As for Ben, total blind guess but 30 minutes.

Sad Professor

I agree with L31mr0d. I think he'll probably get through the episode unscathed for a change.

CutieCat

That drove me insane! Michael had never bothered me up until then but when he started running around the jungle screaming "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllltttttttttttttttt!!" I began to realise that he was about to start bothering me.

But you don't understand, they've got my boy!!!!!!

Mr.Nice Guy

They took my son!!!!!!

As for Ben, I'll go for him to be hit at either 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 or 42 minutes in.

I'll go with 15.

mc nuggets

I'm thinking 2 mins

qwertplaywert

Gonna throw in myself at 7 minutes.

Axwell

I'm gonna go with no beatdowns this week, i think the story will stray slightly from Locke his gang this week to allow Bens bruising to go down before next week when he gets the all mother of a beating again. Instead im gonna go with someone in Jacks gang taking the punches this week,hopefully Miles the annoying git.

Agamemnon

I'll go with 25 minutes. I think one of the freighter gang, probably that twat Miles, will freak out when they met Ben and go for him.

DON'T tempt fate by saying that! His name is in the credits so it's only a matter of time before the annoying git is back whingeing his way around the island. "But they TOOK mah BOY!"

Its been suggested he's Bens inside man on the boat.

fergmcd

id say 10 minutes, straight after first flash some1 will lay into him.

wba88

ill go for 8mins!

Lost.....Betting....it doesnt get btr than this!

Aye, but I wonder if Walt is with him? Walt appeared to Locke as a projection, so maybe he's on the freighter rather than the island.

Basq

Lads.. let's keep this on topic please.

Killaqueen!!!

Copycat :P

csk

I'll say 16 for the craic like.

LadyMayBelle

I'm throwing in eleven......

V9

Put me down for 20 minutes

cooker3

11 minutes and 47 seconds. I can read these writers like a book

yom 1

I'll go for 12 mins in - the island is telling me 5 mins though

Star Lord

Jacob told me it would be 18 minutes in...

Sleepy

6 minutes...

Snake Plisken

I'm saying 24 minutes in Sawyer Hammers the shi-te out of him

DeadParrot

Considering we usually start off with flashbacks and who the flashbacks are about this week I'm gonna go with 35mins

prospect

If we are including the re-cap bit at the start, I am guessing less than 1 minute.

If not, I am going to say, he doesn;t get beaten at all. In fact, I am going to guess he regains his authority.

Psychedelic

i'll hazard a guess of 37 minutes

Vic Vinegar

24mins? has that been said already? Kate will tw*t him possibly

bytesize

i reckon i will be 33 minutes. this is 33 minutes starting after the 'previously on lost' and excluding ad times. so overall scene time: 33 minutes.

haff

tee hee... in a related topic, I am sitting here watching the episode as I type... no punch or kick yet (just not saying how long its been on for)... what I did just see though was

another one of the Oceanic 6 revealed....;)
