No comments either about the emotional manipulation of the manky skanks with their sleezy faux lezzie affaire.
The worst that can honestly be said about Ben is that he is a bumbling, awkward, quite trusting and naive person, prepared to be loyal even to those who he believes are his friends but clearly aren't He is prepared to accept the point of view of the other and even to accept his unearned share of any blame when things like skanky scabby kicking off about being called an actress, or witnessing her nasty and evident gloating when his "friend" JJ was having a hard time, or for daring to do what 9 others did in the 1st week and nominate sunshine. Are those the things that make him deserve to be treated in such a malicious fashion by the hypocrites in the house?
He is the only one there who has consistently shown integrity, loyalty, support and encouragement to others. There is no apparent "game plan", just the evidence of a rather charming, well meaning but slightly bumbling individual. He won't of course be voted out this week. In fact, I think that like Freddie last year, he will remain in the house for many weeks yet. No doubt the Ben Haters will still be looking for any perceived criticisms against him. What is clear though, is just how pathetic and questionable are the reasons given for expressing their dislike of him.

Can I say that your assessment of the Ben situation and of Ben himself is spot on. As someone who knows Ben in the real world, have done for about 10 years, your comment that he is a "... rather charming, well meaning but slightly bumbling individual...." is also Spot on. He's the same in the real world as in the house. He's not fake, he's being 100% himself in there.
I too wish that the Ben haters would look more closely and critically at the antics of Scabby and her dullard new best friend and also those who readily stab Ben in the back just for a change.
