There's definitely another side to Ben... there's more to it than he lets on (even if the excecution isn't actually all that smooth... the self talk etc. I can see he's trying, but it's almost like it's too hard sometimes).
But the other person I think is playing according to the link you've posted is Ed (again, not to say he's successful - just that I think that's what he's trying to do). I read those first few paras and to me that sounds exactly like what Ed is doing. Except that he forgot to also inject his own personality (for want of a better word) - his own angle. I wonder if he thinks the "Mr Perfect" thing *is* his angle outside the house, and that we're all lapping it up.
Forgive me if I'm repeating something that's been said earlier... reading backwards and taking hours to catch up, lol. 71 pages people, thanks for the entertainment!
I agree with you, about Ed. I will find it very interesting to see if Matt's eviction is the final nail in the coffin for Ed and his Mr Nice Guy act. I wonder if we will see him shift strategy seeing he is the last "Mr. nice guy" standing.
