They just see a posh, spoilt, obnoxious, condescending guy because that is the stereo-type and that's how they perceive him, because they do.
Here's what tends to stick in my mind about Ben (bearing in mind I've not watched much LF cos of World Cup):

- Gossiping/bitching about his own alleged 'group' of pals

- Putting his foot in it (think of the lies he made up about his ToT task involving doing horrible things to others like steal Shabby’s other hats)

- Refusing to put any effort into tasks and/or giving-up in huge melodramatics (think the wall sticking task)

- Constantly rule breaking (eg the hot water infraction which he even tried to weasel away from responsibility for - he said in DR "Can you let the others know about the hot water without mentioning me?"

- Now wimping out of taking his punishment for revealing he'd had a secret mission from ToT (and knowingly dropping Dave and potentially the whole house in the brown sticky-stuff)

Leaving aside my general prejudices, I tend to think of him a thoroughly awful, self-serving individual.
