Ben is a Fake!

Hmmm... of course, we're assuming it's the same "Ben Zabel".

No doubt about it..... I started a thread in the housemates section called confused about ben
In there is a link the his Facebook fan page that seems to be mostly old workmates commenting on how hilarious is was and someone posted saying he should get back into stand-up. Then someone else found the page the person who started this thread has linked to
 
i don't see how this shows he is a fake. All it shows is he has performed as a stand up comedian. This doesn't dispute the fact he is currently unemployed and is very lonely in his life.

Do we have anything else to go on other than that the names match? I'd like to believe it, but don't get ahead of ourselves.

Its Australian, its in a gay review site, the Ben Zabel in the article is gay.. Wonder how many gay Ben Zabel's are in Australia & of course the BB Ben does have the ability to act various characters...

And all the people talking about how the house is good for him as a result. As if he's never accepted or ever has friends or anything.

Yet we've seen plenty of pictures of him from the outside, cutting loose, having fun with friends. Then on top of that he did stand up and performed on stage.

So yeah his whole persona on the show is just an act. His whole story and make up of his character is bullshit.



You can also clearly see his comedy, improv and performing skills on the show when he needs to. Do people really buy into the idea that some people are just automatically naturally trained performers?

Specially when you read this:

Ben Zabel was the first stand-up and instantly had the crowd loving him. He’s a kinda unusual looking guy and this is his comic strength, with a gently self-depreciating streak bringing everyone on side.

True, the street performer with the name of Ben Zabel that people got excited about turned out to be a man in his 50s or 60s.

He was always a funny guy. He did do 'voices' in the house I remember, impersonating people and all.

Just because he is a comedian doesn't mean he is a fake & not himself - Comedians are usually quirky, goofy and offbeat anyway (Will Ferrell anyone?).

Yes!!!! And has anyone ever thought that being awkward etc might actually just be a personality quirk that makes him a better performer?? Josh Thomas anyone?

Stranger things have happened, coincidences can be crazy. However that picture buck07 posted proves it.

I always had a feeling something was up with him. The voices and stuff he always puts on were always too good for his fake persona.

I want him to win now.. Poor dude just wants something good to happen in his life.. He obviously ought his real self wouldn't be liked enough to win BB, so used a fake persona.
I've known from day 1 he was putting on an act, so.. No respect lost there.. If anything..he just gained some respect!
 
Last year's winner Ben posted something on Instagram last week about how "everyone loves Queensland's favourite actor/street performer" or something like that
 
Can someone explain to me the "mean streets of Brisbane's south side"? I always thought the Gold Coast was where all of Brizzy's rough people went to live.
 
I have performed Stand up and have met many. Not all of them are "on" when off stage. Many are shy and insular. Most tend to be very insecure like many actors. I can't say I know the scene in Queensland and the pic shown from the flyer, looks like Ben. It isn't the first stand up comic that has been on BB, Christine a few years back was and still is, difference was she never put an act on about being one. Ben isn't all he seems, his nominations show how smart and manipulative he can be, and there seems little doubt he could fake , or act a character. The sugar sisters always commented on how hilarious he was, but were also convinced he need looking after too. If Ben wins, which is BB's plan, he deserves a Logie too for a fine performance, and Bert can present it to him

How was it posted.

'OMG BEN IS A FAKE WHAT AN ASS HAT'


or something more subtle like,

"hey anyone got any clips of bens stand up'

or something as if you're a fan.

It was definitely subtle, and I wasn't the only one posting it either
 
[MENTION=1]Tim[/MENTION] should put this on the front page.

It's true that it doesn't mean he is a complete fake, but it proves that not everything about him is real. How far his act goes is anyones guess, but could you honestly trust him after finding this out?

Looks like Ben?
are you serious?IT IS HIM!

And the last part is the worst thing about this year,BB is so desperatly want Ben to win,it makes me sick

And what does my head in is the fact that the general public believe he is a isolated shy guy with no life outside the house,who cannot take care of himself
really, a flight attendend ,a stand up artist who is shy?cannot take of himself?
are you kidding me?
