Oh, at last! I am so bored with the Bully Ben is the devil threads. Thank you, jelly!
 
Yes I love Ben. He is just the sort of person that I would be friends with. Ben for the win!!
 
We may be a small lovefest, but we are the best lovefest.

And of course, if Ben does something inappropriate or becomes annoying I'll be embarrassed for starting this thread and pretend it never happened :D
 
I didn't use to love Ben but I've been driven to it in opposition to the absurdist theatre that's become so popular and fashionable all over these threads. He's a dictator or Hitler himself or the devil or evil or wicked, the purveyor of the most sinister schemes to rule the house, the entire production and ultimately, the world.

He is Ernst Stavros Blofeld, sitting in the Diary Room concocting his plans for total domination. He is Dr Mabuse, at the centre of a nefarious network of agents, never directly the perpetrator of his crimes. He is Dr Caligari, a man of fiendish hypnotic powers to control others without their conscious knowledge.

How could you not love him for that? How could you have any choice in the matter anyway?

I would have given up watching without Ben, and a bit of Stacey

Ben is fantastic!

And Supermonster is probably the most intelligent poster on this board.

Was there this much nutbaggery around here in past seasons and I just don't remember it? Or has some deep unspoken frustration begun manifesting itself as across the board housemate hatred this last week?

It's hard to judge in hindsight. I seem to recall Michael, the pot-stirrer from BB6, copped it pretty badly. In some ways I think things have improved.

I remember all the previous gay HMs having a lot of negative appraisal based mainly on their sexuality. I've seen very little of that with Ben. He just seems to easily fulfil the need for a villain character in the BB story this year. He's so opinionated that his thoughts are much more on display than with others and this makes him look the schemer.

He's also very loud, wacky and in-your-face which means lots of air time and lots of detail to be examined in minutiae. He's the tall poppy of BB 2012.
 
Yeah I like Ben as well because he is soo entertaining.
Every year we complained about boring housemates.
This year we have Ben.
 
i bet the analysts & psychs & councilors are loving him like crazy ; )
