Ben is accesible enough. When being interviewed on radio, he will often reply to emails read out and thank his fans, he doesn't ask anything from them like a £7,000 parrot.

I don't know that Mario is popular with other housemates or that Ben is not, unless you have solid proof of such outrageous claims? Mario probably hangs around with the other ex housemates like a bad smell. or he has nothing better to do or not much workwise maybe? If some ex housemates have decided to avoid Ben now, that is their loss not Ben's and if they are the ones Mario tends to hang out with regularly, then maybe he has tried poisoning their minds against Ben?

There is no jealousy, bitterness or boredom here. I have every right to dislike Mario, and I try and give my reasons for doing so, and will continue to do so if I wish to. I don't dislike Mario for the sake of it, or just becasuse Mario decided not to retain a BB friendship with Ben outside of the house. I dislike Mario for the mmany reasons I have already pointed out in many a post. You can believe that or not, that is entirely your perogative. However don't expect me to personally attack you or other members the way you have been doing towards some members just because they do not hold the same views as you do towards Mario.
