I'm fascinated by Ben's manner with people, and am enjoying Mario and Ben's dynamic more than any other relationship in the house. While Ben is very tactile, he also gives people a lot of psychological space in conversations. That is a very personable and warming combination, and quite rare for somebody with such a sharp and discerning mind. He reminds me of Siavash in this respect.

People who interact like Ben tend to make certain kinds of friendships. As you're giving people space to be themselves, you can develop a very wide variety of friendships with different people. And feeling like somebody is interested in you for your own sake and vibe is very warming, so friends will tend to feel particularly 'close' to you. You may end up with a lot of friends, even without being a 'group person'. Your friendships will be a collection of 1-1 connections, which is a great way to be sociable and individual at the same time.

And you can still 'hold court' and be individually entertaining too sometimes; Siavash certainly does. Being able to make friends this way is just another arrow in your quiver. It can even be easier to be creative and entertaining when you're bouncing off somebody else.

While in the house, I'd use my analyses of my fellow housemates so inspire me as to how to behave and develop as a person. This is a game that can evidently be played at home too. I'd like to be more like Ben in this respect, and he's inspired me to experiment with a similar approach. I'm 'dominating the conversation' a bit less these days, and have been getting some very positive responses so far.

Are there any of this year's housemates that *you* would like to become more (or less) similar to? If so, do comment :-)

Hi Freddie!
You were a legend last year and we were gutted when you were evicted prematurely!
Rock on dude!

I like Ben too. I find him a lot more interesting than Shabby and her little gang.

OMG its him!

JTM45 · 23-06-2010, 03:43 PM

He said that he wasn't impressed by what he'd seen of Shabby so far on BBLB the other day so it appears he's a good judge of character as well as a legendary housemate!

"I don't think so Sonny-Jim"

I love you Freddie! You legend. <3

Lisa was a vile bitch.

I don't see why everyone hates Ben.

He's polite and understanding, yes he may try to manipulate people, but most of the time he just wants a get-together with the lads.

And Hi Freddie.

(If it's the real you)

I think Ben suffocates people, he wants to force his opinions (about nominations mainly) on people. I don't think he is much of a listener. He is quite conceited.

Sunshine is more of a listener (and caring) and I have enjoyed her long conversation with Govan a while back, and the conversation with John today as well. Of course Endemol are ignoring her and want to give some biased view of her. But those who watch live feed see what she contributes. Also the way they treated her just because she is articulate, different (such as being a Vegan) and has an unusual name. The first week was worst but even now they still keep giving her jibes, and she seems very strong in being able to ignore some of the crap or give something back to them. Not the boring stereotypical under the radar HM that Endemol would promote. But those who look beyond the HLs know the reality.

So is Shabby

DrunkerThanMoses · 23-06-2010, 03:55 PM

Ben needs people around him, I think he dislikes being alone really.

HBB1508 · 23-06-2010, 03:55 PM

I like Ben but he really needs to chill out relax and enjoy the experience and try and get past the Shabby rows. I thought he made a great Jerry Springer too
