He does not seem poweful at all. Just a bumbling, wet blanket toff.

Nobody wants to do tasks, you just do them, that's the game. It's like going on 'millionaire' and saying 'I'm not answering your stupid questions, just give me my million pounds'.

[Jords]

Depends what the tasks are I reckon, he seems to care for his repetation and doesnt want to do anything embaressing, he should try to let go a bit more.

He won't stray out of his stupid little fluffy box.

Well passive resistance is actually a very difficult strategy for an oppressor to deal with so I'm quite enjoying the battle of BB -v- Ben -v- rest of HMs.

He is every cliche that should be despised about the upper classes tbh.

His problem is that he behaves the way he thinks upper classes behave. As someone else said his parents are teachers therefore he is in my mind working class.
This country is obsessed with class.
If you work for a living you are working class.
Ben is therefore working class. Life is so much better in countries where people to not have this system.
Ben could be described as a snob.Landed gentry are known for their manners.
One of our local gentry was working in his garden when a man came up to him, mistaking him for a gardener he spoke to him rudely saying, I want to speak to Lord * whereupon he turned and said,'Well the Lord does not want to speak to anyone as rude as you'.

I'd say Ben is far from Working class.

Ben is starting to show his true colours...he is too aware of his reputation and how he is percieved.His failure to do the task this afternoon shows that he cares more for himself than others.He thinks he buys peoples friendship by supporting them....it takes more than that Ben!!... I thought he was really genuine but he is showing himself to be very selfish and arrogant... Mario is strange but I think he has seen in him what others have probably seen today...

Been calling him this as weeks tbh... it's good that more and more are seeing him clearly though.

Yeah, he played the bumbling idiot for a few weeks, lots of cuddles and kisses on the sofa. But now we can see he looks down on people is arrogant, ingnorant, socially unaware. Totally out for himself.
