I found Ben insulting
 

On the CH4 website Ben refers to Andrew as Stephen Hawkins. I take it that was meant to be an insult and calls Keely Cruela.

Are we still 100% liking him or are we finding him a bit too bitchy. I personally am going off him.

Im finding him a bit too bitchy and quick to judge lately as well.

An overgrown Stewy from Family Guy more like LOL

wtf was with his impression of andrew? he really needs to work on that

Yeah he is a bit of a bitch isn't he?

Ben classic quote once more
he's not 2nd fav for no reason

well the public love it

I am finding him malicious IMO and is looking to scape goat Andrew for being the victim in the house. I don't see why you are liking him.

Ben was in bitch overdrive with the new HMs. It looked like he was back at school bullying the new kids. The other HMs weren't much better. All bonding together to fend off the enemies from outside. Or so you'd think.

He's a classic self destruct HM. Could win but will eff himself up.

I have very mixed feelings about Ben but I don't think - although I'm not 100% sure - he means any harm.

His impressions etc are just to ingratiate himself with the other HMs. I like them. :)

I'd take that as a compliment. Hawkins is one of the great thinkers of our time and judging by the attitudes on here that is something of a rarity that isn't afforded the respect it should be. Ben was clearly trying to be bitchy but how can anyone not admire a man who passed his A'levels at age 13.

He's sh!tting it 'cause he knows the newbies have a slight advantage, probably knowing a lot about him through watching BB.

thats why he is liked he's a classic Bb bitch who doesn't care if he's liked or not:joker: true it could backfire

Would you say Ben is socialite.
lol, I have to admit Keeley is bringing a new dynamic in the House.

Loving Ben - he's completely on the money nicknaming Keeley Cruella, and as for referring to Andrew as Stephen Hawking that's a nod to Andrew's interest in science. Why single out Ben anyway, they were all taking the piss or do you choose to ignore that?

Ben is the biggest bitch....he has a name for everyone.If he likes them its a nice alternative and if he doesnt...its nasty.I think he likes Andrew cos there is nothing nasty in being compared to such a clever man.... however Cruella...!!!!

Ben is an upper (or upper middle) class lounger who get paid to go to parties and write about them.

He is a socialite - some would say a parasite! :D

she be gone next week:joker:
silly girl taught they could back her up but she's lost the house already
yes she's good tv but isn't playing great

She deliberately chose to misunderstand Ben's work - he should have asked her if she was in fact just someone who sold holidays? Let's face it, he could probably do her job standing on his head, but she could never do his. She was trying to belittle his line of work by being deliberately flippant and insulting. Ben has the measure of her, unlike poor Freddie with Bea last year. Noone has got one over on Ben yet and I can't see her succeeding where better people have tried and failed!

Well, I agree with you their. But more disappointed into how malicious Ben's bitching is getting. I would find it an insult to describe me as Stephen Hawkins has a disease and Andrew has not.

Yet, he has a brilliant mind so why be insulted.

Ben doesn't have a proper job. He's a jobbing scribbler.

Whereas Keeley has built up a business and has won awards.

I wouldn't put too much stock in her awards.

I think you know what I mean. BTW this is my first HM thread!!!!
I am rather impartial to all HM at the moment but this bitching session has really rubbed me up the wrong way

Why would you assume that he is suggesting Andrew has a disease when in fact if someone compared me to Stephen Hawking I would be hugely flattered since he is a genius?

Ben needs to stay away from team BITCH! IMO, consisting of Caoimhe, Josie, JJ and Mario.
Why should he insult people just to integrate with the other HM

I think you know the point I mean. The way he said it snarly as well is obvious he did not mean it as a compliment.

Yeah she may as well get her paint kit out and paint a target on her back.

The newbies were gonna be targeted anyway and she's made herself top of that list.

Oh what a shocker ! any excuse to DIS Ben!...He was just joking to impress friends!...We all do it!
Harmless banter!
And he meant to convey that the youngster was a young genius...nothing sinister or nasty!
And Cruela....?Well ...My initial thoughts are...that he may well be right!:hugesmile:

Lol. Even when he's complimenting he does it with a snarl. He just has a snarly face. He's a bitchy uppertoff socialite queen. Being bitchy is just what they do.

Ben is a bitch but takes a lot of **** from every1 in the house.
Hes entertainment so keep him in! :)

Love the smile. I am "dissing" Ben because he has really started becoming Luke Mark 2. I just think his bitchy comments are way under the belt and too malicious.

Do you think BB is the right show to be watching in that case, if you can get upset by a rather innocuous throwaway remark from a HM you clearly didn't like much to start with? Shouldn't you be equally "rubbed up the wrong way" by the misogyny displayed by JJ, or the aggressive rudeness of the newbie Keeley unleashed on the established HMs for no reason?

Would you find some saying you look like Stephen Hawkins an insult. I would. People on this forum are trying to make me look like a right bitch but I am just telling it like it is. I have some right stick for "DISSING!" Ben. Pathetic

Did you notice CH4 cut the comment out!
They knew how insulting the public will find it. Anyway I respect your views and like responding to your comments, That's BB.

Welcome to the jungle my friend, tread carefully to avoid the poison darts! As to being considered a "right bitch" you know what they say - it takes one to know one:wink:

:joker::joker: Ben is just very pan faced in his humour. His expression rarely changes.
Andrew should take it as a compliment to be thought of as a genius, now the Cruella nickname made me giggle, from walking into the house she more or less been bossy, very forthright in her questioning etc. I do not think she will be there for the long haul somehow.
Ben has been a bit unnerved by the newbies, as has Dave and JJ. It will take a few days for them to settle back into the routine I think.

Are you for real?...LUKE Mark 2....YUK!

And you say that Ben could be malicious!!:nono:

lol, I think I might be sent a few. It's obvious Ben is your fave who else do you like.

I am not a nasty person and I know Ben has a huge fanbase but I have the right like many to put a thread "DISSING" a HM I am finding Bitchy and obnoxious.
