John: "There aren't people like you anymore... That stopped years ago"
Ben: "I brought people like me back."
John: "People can't see things the way you do.. how can you say you don't care about teamwork and have friends?"
Ben: "Because we accept each other as being individuals. Just accept that people are different John."

Yeah JJs looking like a bully. Again. Why can't he talk normally with people instead of ranting and being disrespectful? A classic case of somebody oblivious to their own faults whilst daring to judge others.
Ben is just his own person and will stay true to himself no matter what.

John James is creepy,he has something wrong with his thinking, he alwasy wants to argue round people but alone he with someone he is different, he has a short fuse and a dangerous one too.
Ben should steer clear of this oddball,actually I think JJ either fancies Ben or Mario,I cant work out which,he is jealous of them being close. I also think he is a woman hater the way he snarls at them and goes on and on and on.

Ben is an idiot as well though and I do think that JJ has a point, JJs problem is that he has very valid points usually but he's not the best for expressing them. He goes too far which in turn invalidates, the originally valid point, If you catch my drift!
I mean he is right, Ben is lazy and selfish, he isn't a team player. Yes everyone is an individual but not pulling your weight in a group situation is not a good trait to have.

The problem with Ben vs JJ is two fold I think.
1) I think that its a case of JJ basing his views on morales, honesty, and mutual dependance, and Ben basing his on manipulation, lies, and selfishness. They are polar opposites in how they see themselves in society and have very different empathy levels for those around them. The problem is though that it's JJ's view that is increasingly unfashionable in Western culture, while the selfish lazy me me view of Ben is growing (mainly because it's the easy don't give a crap option), so Ben is seen as right often in the eyes of many.
2) JJ obviously has problems expressing himself, and is obviously less intelligent then Ben, so it is easy for Ben to maintain the high ground of remaining calm, which many see as an automatic 'win'. Many of JJs points are based on decency and friendship, and he emotionally cares deeply about them, but he loses debates with Ben because he stays calm as he just has no emotional investment in the argument because he dosent give a **** about those things.
Everything Ben does is a cold intellectual excercise, everything JJ does comes from the heart.

I have always said Ben is an entertaining HM, even if I dont like him as a person at all, but I didnt find this funny at all.
It just came across as dismissive, sneering and nasty to me... as Ben so often is.

Nah I think that's wrong. He lied about what his task was. He said BB asked him to take Shabby's something or other. He lied because he feared the housemates reaction ... he does care what they think. Being shallow to the point a disability means he is all about appearances but is without substance, morals or even a backbone.

He does care about other people though,I think he should have done the punishment,but it was also good entertainment to see him buck the trend,it's not as though anything was a matter of life or death,BB would never see them truly suffer,Ben knows that and BB is not all about tasks it's about entertainment and imo he has provided that,and although people think he is selfish and uncaring,I would imagine he is a good friend on the outside,don't forget NONE of these people can be really friends yet.It is so nice how he forgives the very people who are trying to bring him down all the time a lesser man would have kicked off at them long before now,so I am sorry if people think my opinion is wrong,but I really like him and have seen nothing to change my mind,yet.As an aside I really did not like him on his arrival.

The thing, I think, is that the entrenched Ben supporter probably dosent even really think this... and probably were not saying it a while back.
Ben though has, repeatedly, demonstrated his true nature and the fanboi can't explain it away or condone it so they have come up with the 'he's a pr1ck but he is an honest pr1ck' defense stance.
They can no longer defend him morally or as the 'humble sweet honest' guy they used to, yet neither can they admit any flaws on his part because they percieve to do so would be weakness in the face of their 'enemies'.
So we now see this kind of weak defense because it is the only one they really have left :/

Fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion, I wasn't having a go at you, you know, I just disagreed with what you said is all! Peoples opinions on the HMs depend on what personality traits bother them the most anyway, all the HMs have bad ones it just depends on which ones annoy you most I suppose, I personally hate selfishness which is why I've been turned off Ben more than the others

I agree totally.
The problem is that BB isnt showing these events fully to the HL crowd so a lot of HL only viewers have a massively different view of him. If they had been honestly representing him there is every chance he would be the most hated HM since Nasty Nick.
That blatant self serving lie wasnt even shown being discovered, and thats far from the only one.

he's not hiding his selfishness, at least people know where they stand with him. In a way, its quite a nice way to be.. better than being a manipulative character like Corin or Josie, who play at being so nice yet every now and again you see the real character come out
but that's just what you like/dislike in people though, me personally, I hate selfish people and I would rather a person who I have to live with in a fish bowl for weeks be fake and nice to me than be an honest selfish twat, but that's just me!

I will just requote myself here if thats ok? Saves me the time retyping.
The thing, I think, is that the entrenched Ben supporter probably dosent even really think this... and probably were not saying it a while back.
Ben though has, repeatedly, demonstrated his true nature and the fanboi can't explain it away or condone it so they have come up with the 'he's a pr1ck but he is an honest pr1ck' defense stance.
They can no longer defend him morally or as the 'humble sweet honest' guy they used to, yet neither can they admit any flaws on his part because they think to do so would be admitting weakness in the face of their 'enemies', so they have adjusted their argument to this in an effort to represent his selfish fecklesness as a positive (very much the same way he does himself).
So we now see this kind of weak defense because it is the only one they really have left :/

John: "You're talking complete ****. Corin isn't listening to what you're saying."
Ben: "What are you talking about, this is just between us"
John: "You're just talking ****"
Ben: "You're not invited anyway, you won't go anywhere where they don't speak English."
This was a private conversation between Ben and Corin and he butted in, I remember when he had a go at someone who did the same to him the day he made Rachael cry at the dinner table.
Hypocrite.

Yeah JJs looking like a bully. Again. Why can't he talk normally with people instead of ranting and being disrespectful? A classic case of somebody oblivious to their own faults whilst daring to judge others.
Ben is just his own person and will stay true to himself no matter what.
He's a bully; he finds people who can't or won't stick up for themselves (usually women it seems) and break them down like he did with Rachael. He won't go too far with men though in case they knock his preety little head off.

my point was more about why people like Ben ... not directed at anyone. Donkey vote refers to people who don't take BB that seriously and your not likely to get a reasoned debate out of them as to why Ben is NOT a douche bag hehe.
I feel sorry for anyone who does take BB seriously. I mean I'm loving the show this year, watching all the show, watching the live feed, reading about it on the internet. I'm a big fan, but I am not taking this **** seriously. And that's why I like Ben, it matters not to me what he is like in the 'real world.' In the real world I would find him to be a complete tit and would not want to be friends with someone like him, but the BB house to me is not the real world, it's just a TV show and right now Ben is the most entertaining.

i suppose you're right, this BB is certianly the most difficult to judge i think everyone has gone up and down with who they are supporting.

At least Ben does have his own UNIQUE style unlike the bleached blond male bimbo who has to impersonate a middle-aged footballer to get any attention.
Middle-aged footballer... OH MY GOD! You mean David Beckham! Shoot me, someone.

Yeah, it's worse to stick with someone just because you started out liking them, I mean they're all strangers to us so its obviously going to take a while to get to know their characters better

I very much agree. I can honestly say that if Joise acted in a way that disgusted me I would just say so and chose a new HM.
The rise and falls are part of what makes it BB :)

yep your the demographic I was on about. People who know it's all BS and a laugh and think it would be funny if Ben won. All I'm saying is people that argue on points of moral rightness or decency ( and some do here on TIBB ) shouldn't expect a reasoned debate from you .. unless it something you can scream from a moving car :P

dont forget JJ is an aussie, and as he said last night, ben would have got his face smashed in thousands of times for being such a twat constantl in oz, its just the aussie way, were men are macho/loud/aggressive, and nancy boys like Ben get a good kicking.
They should put note in travel brochures for Oz "Don't foget to get extra travel insurance incase the locals decide you're a "nancy boy" and decide to kick your head in".:shocked:

rubbish ... Sydney's gay community is huge. Nothing to do with Ben being a "nancy boy". It's about people who think they deserve privileges due to birth. Toffs wouldn't last a second in OZ. They'd be like "hey do you know who I am!" and we'd be like "yeah your the butler form (add crap Hollywood movie with a pompous English butler here)."

I don't think Caoimhe's got a cat in hells chance personally. I honestly don't mean to come across as sexist but a lot (not all) but a lot of men are physically stronger than women and jj -does- seem quite muscular compared to Caoimhe so I'll be genuinely amazed (and as happy as a pig in s***) if she wins lol.

Corin and Josie? manipulative because they're nice most of the time but every so often not so nice?. Most people are nice -most of the time until something makes them get angry and become not so nice-.
I assume you were a fan of goons like Rex,Victor,Jason and Derek?. The thing they all have in common is that they were vile all the time;rude,agressive,spiteful,patronising and condescending. This kind of Macho nonsense has always been popular on BB-a televised "boys own club" where men do what they feel like meanwhile women get slagged off for having confidence or opinions, or for having the nerve for showing any hint of negative emotion.
I've often felt that if you're a woman, you're damed if you do and damed if you don't.
