A waspish spiteful elitist snob.

You often see the truth of a man in argument and drink...


(Though I do agree it was great TV )

He could very well be what you describe, and while I agree with the sentiment that you often see the truth of a man in argument and drink, I don't feel that is always necessarily the case. It could be true in Ben's case as we've seen him talk behind people's backs before (Mario being one of those people).

It could also very well just be the case that he's just a bit fed up with JJ's behavior and just wanted to hurl some very hurtful insults toward him to get him to shut up. He can be very annoying at times and doesn't seem to know when to shut his yap. He kind of reminds me of a kid who will poke a dog with a stick over and over again until the dog turns around to bite him and then wonders why the dog bit him in the first place acting as if it was no fault of his own.

Ah well, Ben's got at least another week in the house. I'm sure if he is the type of person you think he is, he'll show his true colors again before it is over with hehe. I actually kind of hope he does, as that tirade was pretty entertaining lol.
