Mario did not like it when Ben found his voice. And a voice that said Mario was not what he appeared initially to be. Funnily enough: he did exactly the same with young Andrew - Mario almost jumped on top of him when Andrew entered the house.

As for 'friends slagging off each other'.

They were not friends, not in the traditional sense, and never would be.

They were housemates, thrown together in a false environment, thus housemates forged alliances, they didn't forge lifetime friendships.

That was and is Mario's mistake. He appeared and still appears to think that a forged alliance in a very false and temporary environment equates to long lasting eternal friendship after everyone returned to reality again.

To be perfectly honest, I think there is part of my that pities Mario, if he should need to rely on buiding friends in a very false environment. Isn't he able to build friends, and enough friends in real life - that he has to be so wrapped up in an 'acquanitance made through necessity on a tv reality show'. ??
I think Mario thought he found a kindred spirit, mario also doesn't argue, he never raised his voice in the house at another person.
How wrong he was though.
You pity Mario for respecting people? I pity Ben for having no respect for people who love and care for him
