Ben, seems like a nice chap why all the hate?

[arsenalforever]

He seems like a guy you could have a interesting conversation with and doesn't seem to stuck up

why all the hate?

[mardibum]

I like him. He's my fave now.

[Ramsay]

because hes posh
remember last year?
freddie got loads of hate only cus hes posh

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i love him!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

hes been on come dine with me lol

[Shaun]

because he's rich and people seem to think that everyone rich is responsible for the 80s and some silly north/south divide.

[Novo]

He will turn the people around

[arsenalforever]

because hes posh
remember last year?
freddie got loads of hate only cus hes posh

sad really isn;t it

he probably will be very quiet in the house i think

[Ramsay]

my last post
i meant freddie got loads of hate when he went in

[arsenalforever]

He will turn the people around

Novo love that pic of the two lads bored

thats when sunshine was talking:joker:

[Fish]

I don't know, I just think he seemed far too up his own arse when he went into the house. And each time a new housemate went in, the puss on his face. He didn't seem like he wanted to be there at all.

[mkdfan]

hes been on come dine with me lol

OH MY GOD!!
I knew I recognized him!

Thanks for settling my mind on this matter lol.

He is alright i suppose, my first impression was to hate him but he's done nothing wrong apart from be posh which isnt his fault lol.

i dont remember him on come dine with me which one was he on? i only know coz he said on live feed

[bbfan1991]

I don't mind Ben:), ironically he has had some criticism which Freddie had last year..

[MJBFAN]

I'm starting to like Ben. I wasn't too sure when he first went into the house.
Time will tell but he's starting to grow on me.

[Ramsay]

he'll turn into a favourite

[mkdfan]

I cant remember which CDWM he was on, i just remember seeing him and remember him going to the supermarket lol.
I very rarely watch that show.

[Patrick]

Feel sorry for him.

[Boothy]

I actually said "I hate middle class people" to my mum when he went in. I love him now :D

[arsenalforever]

Feel sorry for him.

i don't think he be given a fair chance by the crowd
they will boo him every week

[BJ]

I really like him. I think he'll be an interesting HM. Hope he's given a chance

[SoFarSoGood282]

I like him.... he just got booed from the chav's....

[Niamh.]

I can understand why people who didn't watch any LF last night dislike him, but he seems like a nice fella after watching a bit of him on that

[Speedster]

Because he's very pompous.

[arsenalforever]

Because he's very pompous.

buit if you saw last night he clearly isn't he sat and listened to people and he wasn't all bravado

[Stu]

Because he's very pompous.
No he is not. He is interested in the finer things in life, is well educated, and has a high opinion of himself. None of these things are bad things.

Most of us have a high opinion of ourselves. We should. It's healthy as long as we are still fundamentally grounded in reality, and I reckon Ben is the most down to earth of the lot in his own way.

well said
he wasn't all about him he sat and listened to others. i think he wil be a nice guy but sadly cause he's posh the chavs will hate him

[Speedster]

I missed last night, I was busy trying to get to grips with the posting system on C4. I've since given up with it lol. I only saw him go in the house and his v.t so I'm only going off that, so you're probably right.

I think people can be far to quick to judge everyone who goes in the house, and the way they boo people is really unfair;how can they be so judgemental and spiteful to total strangers?, they're like it every year.

[Stu]

Yeah the live crowd are a horrible representation of the BB watching public.

[eye sea]

Ben reminds me of this guy.:D

[Chuckyegg]

he appeared to give a dirty look to everyone that walked in. I'm sure that's just his way but it rubs people up the wrong way.

Yeah, but give the guy a chance. It's been barely 24 hours....

[sarza]

I think he's seems alright actually, he would probably be the one i would choose to speak to and hold a decent convo with, although i must say when i first heard him i thought oh dear, but hes accent is kinda cute LOL...
As for the crowd, typical bunch of Chavs probably, and jealousy goes along way...hope he gets a fair chance.

[The_Big_Send_Off]

just been announced on live feed...

[Speedster]

Ok, I take your point, but lets just see how forgiving people are about others in the house with "high opinions" of themselves, I'm willing to bet that on this point Ben is in a minority and that most people'll write off most of the other h.ms saying they're just big headed/arrogant.

[Lee.]

I took an instant liking to him. I don't know why a lot of people seem to dilike him. Put off by the posh voice maybe?

[Sabrewulf238]

I admit I thought he was the "better than you" kind of guy when I first saw him....but tonight he seemed like a nice enough guy.

First impressions can very often be wrong...

[Zippy]

He has a hooray henry voice and a miserable mush. But in convo he's possibly the most likeable so far.

A dark horse.

[Tom4784]

I've done a 180 on him since yesterday, I think he'll be interesting. He seemed very snooty before but he came off well in tonight's Highlights.

[pixee]

nooo ben is this guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwicLgOGJOI

But i like him so far, seems nice and trying to get to know everyone in a genuine way not what i expected.

[Tiffany]

He acts very stuck up with his constant pouting

[RtooDee2]

I just think at the moment he's a little overwhelmed and possibly a bit shy.
I just hope he doesn't climb into his shell and hide in the background, cause he seems
like a top fella who.. if he loosens up and realised that the boos he got yesterday was just
pantomime he may actually smile and have fun.

[Joelle.]

I like Ben, he may speak posh but he is definetely not a snob. I think he is another Freddie and I loved Freddie. Also, if I got a pound for every time Ben said how much he thinks the public hate him, I'd be pretty damn rich by now! :hugesmile:

[Robertocarlo]

Ben is from a very good family actually and he mixes with an "interesting" group of people in London. I have met him many times and know him quite well and many of his friends. He's being 100% himself in the BBH, he can be serious but can also be very funny. He's basically harmless, rather posh (but you cannot blame him for having a decent upbringing and education) but I'm sure he'll do well in there if he's given a chance.
