That is the allure of BB of course, the way it polarises opinion and sorts the wheat from the chaff. One man's meat is another man's poison - always has been, always will. So whilst Ben is still in the house, I am delighted. When he leaves I'll decide then whether there's any point in continuing to watch or just toodle off and enjoy the rest of my summer BB free!

Great post. I believe the producers are holding Ben as the major storyline for this week as (allegedly) there are 3 new HMs in on Friday so they'll review what gonna show on HL arter that.

On last night's HL they even overplayed the JJ/Josie romance when there were better things to show. Producers believe somehow that viewers like showmances - crazy.

I'm not sure whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

Tasks are part of BB do them or bloody get out Davinas right, Ben should grow a set he is a poor excuse for a man with no backbone who thinks he can put people down with his posh put on accent... He totally over acts his poshness to make him seem more regal and for someone who claims to be intelligent he has no common sence or sence of decency... He was funny for a couple of episodes but the show would be all the better if they chucked him out and put someone new in.... Get Ben out!!!!

i never liked ben! he has no backbone!
he came back and lied about how he chose who will take on his punishment!
ben is a selfish and a pathetic excuse for a human being.

mario realized that ben never was his friend and ben will throw him under bus at anytime, just like he did it to dave. ben doesn't care about anybody! that's why mario doesn't like ben anymore!

dave to ben: if you do that to your best friend, what do you do to your enemies?

ben always tries to justify himself and his actions with a bunch of bs.

ben thinks he does nothing wrong and never really sorry for his selfishness and wrongdoings.

ben never completes tasks and always complains.
ben is the worst housemate ever in bb history!

ben has no common sense, no clue! he doesn't know anything about life of everyday people. (or he calls them ordinary people!) guess ben is above ordinary people and he definitely looks down on hard working middle class people like nathan and josie.

ben: oh, poor politicians, they work so hard around the clock, pay those rich upper class people more money! what?! wtf!!

NO,NO,NO,someone like Hitler is a poor excuse for a human being,think about it.

[mr white]

Last night's HL was attrocious - they didn't even show the HM getting the plasma of Ben's lies about the ToT task (remember he claimed he refused the task as it involved horrible things).

The HMs now make jokes about arm-wrestling cos they saw the truth

It was a BIG save HL show.

Yes, to be honest, I do.

My whole point was that, for me, I like Ben despite all these faults - and he's excellent entertainment.

Since you love Ben so much, thought you'd know his favourite lag and life story

Why,is it my business to know? If Ben likes Archer as you say he does,so what?and why would that mean I know anything about Archer people like people that other people don't.it is called having different interests and different opinions,I am surprised you didn't know that,so i still think your question is pointless.

Indeed Cam, QFT.

[camertone]

c4 daily roll agrees ben is pathetic!

[big_bother]

@Topic

Of course he is, thats why he's in Big Brother. Rar Rar Rar!

[Bonbons81]

If he was a game player he would have done the punishment but he's not he's just honest, do you honestly think if he was game playing he would have ****ed that up?! He would have done what all the others would have done, "took one for the team" pretending they did it for the sake of the house like dave was doing... Bullshine mate! Everyones in it for themselves.. Do we keep forgetting this is a game? A competition?!

I don't respect bens decision to not finish what be started but I do respect the fact that he is himself and does what he wants no matter what the others think! He will obv be up this week and he knows this so to think he has a game plan is ridiculous!!

[Kazanne]

Well said Bonbon,but some people do not like honesty,so get your skid lid on,lol

Actually, Kaz, he did.

Whether you agree with Steve getting a leg out of the prize fund or not (thats beside the point) Ben clearly said no he wouldnt do it.

[fruit_cake]

theres no reason why Ben should share his prize money.

the clue was in his promotional videao that was shown before he went into the house, he openly admitted/bragged about how he was a great manipulator of people, hes your typical public schoolboy, complete twat, whos only hobbie is ''widening the cirlce of his friends''
