Ben may just be the worst housemate at tasks I've come across . The Tree of Temptation gave him the prize of everyone winning their suitcases back in exchange for Ben going around and getting in an arm wrestling contest with everyone and having to beat 1 girl, as well as that he has to use street slang. Such an easy conversational task to accomplish; instead Ben makes the suggestion 2-3 times in a non-pensive manner, gets rejected, and then gives up for the rest of the day, leading to one of my now favorite Marcus Bentley narrations "It's been 10 hours and 45 minutes since he was given a secret mission, by the Tree of Temptation", which also leads to this

Tree: WHAT are you playing at, quiff head?!
Ben: What am I--what do you think I'm playing at?
Tree: I told you to MAN UP, I gave you something to do to PROVE IT, and what have you done so far? Abs-olutely BOTTLED IT!
Ben: Yeah and that was my choice, Tree of Temptation .
Tree: SHUT UP! I told you to grow some balls, and your's have practically retracted into yourself completely.
Ben: That's my decision though, isn't it?
Tree: I offered you everyone's suitcases back, and you've done nothing but mope around boring the socks off everyone.
Ben: First of all, I disagree, I don't think I've been boring the socks off anyon--
Tree: Shut up, I'm not interested in what you've got to say.
Ben: Fine, go on?
Tree: I wanted an arm wrestling championship, it's not like the trials of Hercules, is it?
Ben: Look Tree of Temptation, you must be really stupid. Because if I went aroun--
Tree: Don't call me stupid!
Ben: ...You ARE stupid, if I went round to everyone asking for an arm wrestling competition, they'd know something was up. I'm the last person in the world to want an arm wrestling competition, don't you agree?
Tree: ...I don't care what you think to be perfectly honest. And that's it, I've had it with you.
Ben: Fine?
Tree: And I'm gonna give you a clue as to what I have planned for you.
Ben: Fine?
Tree: And that clue is that you're a JOKE, Ben.
Ben: ...Okay?
Tree: Read into that what you want.
Ben: I'm a joke?
Tree: Come back and see me first thing tomorrow morning, before the other housemates have all got up, and you will learn more about your fate.
Ben: .....Look Tree of Temptation, I don't take kindly to bullying. Um it's been a long day, we're all very tired, and I will do what I can to help you, I'm not gonna do tasks that aren't gonna work, is that understood?
Tree: You just don't get it, do you?
Ben: No--
Tree: Listen I've had enough of you! You're boring me! Can you get out?!
Ben: Goodnight *walks out*
Tree: .........Posh git!
