The I love ben thread

I think Ben has to be a serious contender to win this thing. In the house he comes across as honest and genuine even when he's acting a bit bitchy. He's good at talking his way out of trouble and sounding very reasonable while doing so. Well, most of the time at least. :D
 
I have loved Ben from the very start! He is a great Housemate. He is hilarious, bitchy, confrontational, caring, kind, mean and a pot stirrer all rolled into one! He is the only person in that house who has gone up to every single Housemate he has a problem with and try to fix that problem(Bradley, Ray, Estelle). It is also obvious though that he is playing the game and that makes me love him even more because I love the game players.

If you love him or hate him it doesn't bother me. Everybody has to admit that he is playing a great game.
 
In an interview Ray gave, he said he loved Ben, but not the game playing Ben.

Read a reply from Ryan on Ray's twitter saying

@BBAU9 No Georgey Boy!!! That's our gang gone... Ray,George and I #BBAU

We weren't shown they were in a gang.

Also didn't George say to Sonia, he got to know Ben after he got nominated & he was different to what he thought he was. (meaning he was nice etc)
 
Love him still and always. Would definitely be bored without him. One of the best things about him is his abiolity to string a choerent sentence together and not sound like a moron trying to use all the big words and making no sense. I can't believe the amount of words and sayings some of these dorks get wrong.
 
Lolz...well said (and written). Yes I quite like Benji too. He's a complete bitch but I somehow forgive him because he's amusing. I certainly think he should turn it down a bit sometimes as he can be rather mean and adolescent but he'd still be a scream to hang out with me thinks.
What about Stace peeps? I'm loving her and appalled at all the hate mail on here about her. She's hysterical too!

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?

Bet Ben gets the Celebrity Apprentice gig next year, and deservedly so, he would love all that organising/posing and be a real laugh.
 
Agreed! Isn't it bizarre. I'm often astonished at how unwordly some of these housemates are. Benji's coherent, amusing and damn it, he has perfectly funny mannerisms to match. A lovely combo to watch indeed.

9 loves to cross pollinate, if the dorks from the Block get a gig, can't see why they would overlook better talent like Ben
 
I think Ben would be great on CA. We would see his side that we would see if we met him on the street IMO. This can be said for all Housemates I guess. We would mainly see his funny and fun side and that is the greatest thing about him!
 
I like Stacey, again she is a more interesting character than half the others.

I find the vitriol being thrown around on the forums at some people pretty off tbh. Sure I say I don't like some of them but I don't go on a 10 line, expletive filled rant stating that someone deserves death / torture / a life of misery because they irk me. And heaven forbid you have a go at Estelle, she who can do no wrong but constantly seems to do wrong hence the fact she is nominated ALL the time.
 
He is probably my favourite housemate. Who gives a *beep* if he bitches? I would too if I was in that house. We all would, especially considering we are the ones on this forum so readily pointing out the HMs' flaws.

I get so sick of reading all these in-depth analyses about why Ben is such a horrible sociopathic manipulator. People take this show way too seriously. Or people are influenced by tiny portions of what they see of another far too easily. Josh, Michael, Angie, Zoe, Stacey and Layla all bitch as much as he does. The rest are either too unobservant to notice another's flaws or (as with Estelle) don't have enough connections with people to bitch about others. None of us are perfect, we all need an opportunity to vent, especially in the confines of the BB house.

+1

Ben seems far nicer than the individuals who go on such rants. And indeed, such individuals are the ones who are so easily led into loving the victim Estelle. Surely they couldn't hate her if they were in the house because they are so far above Ben and all the other housemates (bar Ava) who don't like her? I'll admit, while I can't stand her from the little snippets I've seen, I shouldn't judge an entire person from such snippets, but, considering what others inside the house think of her, I'm quite sure my view would not be any more positive if I was in their position.

Still loving Ben! I thought he was hilarious during nominations last night. When Michael shoved him and he did a pratfall even my husband laughed. He is much harder to amuse than me! :D
 
There's no danger of him not outlasting Estelle.

I wish he'd have succeeded with his Josh Kiss task.
 
That minx boy is just too amusing and charming for his own good - all the wowsers, prudes, neanderthals and oddities in that lynch mob after him are so shouty and rude.
What i find truely hilarious, Ben is the most evolved human in there - and he gets into trouble for that.
He's really the only one in there attempting to make order out of chaos, he's like the house manager

He did a great job during that task IMO. I don't think anybody has a chance of getting Ava to do something though. She is such a bore. He fully convinced her and she was like ok yep I will do it and then she just goes in there and gets embarrassed like a 12 year old girl and does nothing. She is the most immature 29 year old I have ever seen. She acts like a 14 year old giggly girl.

Ben made me laugh a lot during tonights episode! Go Ben!
