Ben has been having bitchy conversations since week one.
He claims he's just observing but it's always negative observations, so to to me it's bitching.

Nobody influences him to bitch either. He could always walk away from the more bitchy conversation, like Sunstroke always did. He chooses to bitch.

He's also been friends with Caoimhe since the start so i don't get where your suprise at their friendship comes from.
