My point is that the whole ethos of the show has been lost because of the fear of controversy to the point that there is now virtually nothing to watch at all. Thank goodness for characters like Ben who are not afraid to be themselves, even if it gets on everyone else's nerves. I'm no hypocrite - I love Ben for refusing to do the tasks, and refusing to be bullied into conforming to what the other HMs want him to be. His quiet rebellions have made BB watchable this year for me.

Strange how HMs like Shabby and Lady Sov were worshipped because they were perceived as streetwise,young and rebellious, but Ben who also has a uniquely individualistic character is reviled because he is "upper class" and has a posh accent (exactly the same as Freddie last year).
You are right angus...
I need someone to hear my annoying problem, where I even question what's right...
I worked on an office park, I got sacked for 3 seperate incidents that get reported by idiots...I walked on the Grass...I Took my ID off my neck when exiting...I moved desks because someone was hitting my arm (YES! they think that is the wrong thing to do) STUPID and horrible PC world
