I had to unfollow Ben's twitter. Something about his tweets and thanking 100 people every day seems off to me. Something just doesn't sit right in my opinion. I'm glad he didn't make it to the final 3. I'm still not sure who he was, who he is or who he is trying to be. If this is him, then I apologise.

Ben's frequent thanking of people is a bit strange to me. Ben is new to social media though, so maybe he's just being encouraged to use it a lot? I don't know. He could just be a really nice guy or someone trying to get as much attention as possible. I still really like him and still think he went too early. Having said that though, if he stayed longer he probably would have annoyed a lot more people and he wouldn't have had as much fans as he does now.
 
Maddie has previously used the Ashy Bines program, so I really can't take her advice on board, no matter how good her body may be. (And I've seen better....)

He's not new to social media. That was just yet another of his schticks. There are posts in this thread and elsewhere on the forum showing some of the tweets from his Ben_zabel account which is now locked down. And also showing that he was on Grindr before going in the house (another thing he's now lied about). Guy is just a fraud.

Just the few tweets from him that I read here seem wrong. I keep thinking back to the stand up comedy thing found on him, and him trying to pretend he's only just Ben from Brisbane.

It reads very much like a business account, not at all like the poor bumbling guy who was shy and awkward. He comes across as confident like someone with a goal in mind.

He's even being selective in his portrayal of his HM friendships and how he's interacted with them post BB. I noticed this when Tully was visiting the BB house along with Ben. Tully posted photos and mentioned him on Twitter, yet Ben barely acknowledge Tully.
Completely different compared to when he saw the Sugar Sisters again.

He's creating an image and trying to guess what his fans want to see Sugar Sisters nice and safe but Tully is too controversial so best avoid.
His problem is that he's an amateur, would probably benefit a lot from Tullys advice and connections, so is making mistakes.
All this thanking of celebs, posting all his gifts and fan mail while giving nothing of himself in the way of non event photos or interaction on Twitter is likely to turn fans off him.

Oh wow, I had no idea about those things. Very disappointing for me to see that Ben isn't who I thought he was.

I'm with you - I'm close to that point with Ben and the Sugar Sisters ... there's only so much a crimmy can take!!

Question: Why is Tim having a Christmas party one month before Christmas?
Click to expand...

probably because someone in the family can't be there with them on Christmas Day - sometimes you have clashes with two families to keep happy ... his parents might be going away on holiday and so this is when they can get together ... maybe Tim is going to Graceland with he who shan't be named ...

Yeah I would say that is it. I am seeing my dad's family for Christmas this weekend as its the only chance we have to all celebrate together.

and he said in that interview he'd like to have a talk show similar to that of Graham Norton but he'd do the show in his PJ's and so would the guests ... like I said then ... been done ... The Big Breakfast & Paul Yates interviews in bed ring any bells?

Can just see REAL celebrities coming to Australia and just hoping to get interviewed in their pjs on the Ben Zabel Show ... sheeeesh


Queue starts here .... Nicole? Keith? Brad? anyone? hellllooooooo? is there an echo in here????
