I actually agree with you, but loved Tim's childish, lighthearted behaviour, alot of my friends didn't, they all went for Tahan because they thought she was gorgeous. I did like Ben 13', I obviously wanted Tim to win, so I hated that Ben was the pick to do it, but when he was voted out so early I was upset, also because I thought it was Ed's turn to go. But I would have loved to have seen Ben in the top 3. Poor guy didn't even do anything wrong, was just an underestimation of saves. I'm glad the network gave him little jobs to do, he's so good in the media.
I absolutely loved Ben this year too... He was the only HM who made me laugh hysterically and cry sincerely. He was the most lovable character I've seen on any BBAU... I also think he would have had his character assassinated by the power players had he stayed on for much longer. His success will be long-term and it is well deserved. He just needs to shake the Tim monkey off his coat tails...
