but i mean..how can you know for sure? id on't think ben acts that way only in the bb house. i think that's just he's persona he puts on.
 
Putting on a pesona everytime he steps out of the house, how exhausting would that be? I reckon he deserves the prize money for all the effort alone he's put throughout the years...allegedly. :cool:

if he seems fake in the bb house..chances are he'd not be entirely himself in a work environment. but i don't know..don't really care.
 
Kaz, Ben is not acting. He is who he is.

now to me that scarier than acting, talking to photos and telling Mum and Nanna what you want them to know. cant really cook, yet lives by himself,???????????????????
 
Interesting, that's pretty poor though that he didn't get a warning first, exactly why I try not to fly with the cheap airlines that's just ridiculous!

Virgin... are.. cheap? Pretty sure they're an expensive one. Didn't know they don't hand out free cokes though. That's quite dumb.

To the people asking for this guy's ip - get a life.
 
:D You're a charmer [MENTION=936]CaspersMum[/MENTION] :p hahaha
Yeah! Hahahaha! Having a moment. They ripped me off royally when I had to fly back to the states when my Mother was dying. then when I got back and questioned them about it, they basically said, "Oh well. Everyone's got a sad story. Tell your story walking."

So yeah. Monkey balls. Kiss my ass. You get the drift!! :)

Oh my goodness! I am suprised that more expletives haven't come from your mouth then. That is truly atrocious! They go on my hate list for that!!
 
I was figuring he had singlehandedly taken control of a malfunctioning aircraft and with little choice, but mad skillz, crashed it, saving almost all on board, only later to be found via toxicology reports to have consumed alcohol the night before the flight. But providing free non-complimentary beverages is up there too. Denzel Washington's agents might be interested in reading potential scripts.

Yes, there are a lot of contradictions with Ben that don't add up. But, seriously, the "most adorable housemate ever"?????A 30 yr old man who can't do anything for himself is adorable??? I don't get it.

i don't get why he's so popular. i just find him mildly creepy and that's it. i thought he was okay until he nominated heidi for making him feel left out or whatever after the fake marriage was revealed. she even apologised to him and everything, seemed to be super nice to him..but he still nominated her just for that. i thought it was the weirdest thing ever. and i don't even like heidi.
 
I didn't know the history behind ben getting fired from virgin was hot news :p
Either way, I didn't see it in the initial weeks but recently I'm definitely thinking theres more to Ben then being useless and "adorable".
 
Was there some big bust up over the reason Ben was terminated from Virgin? If so, I missed it.

For as "quirky" as Ben appears, he doesn't seem to garner that much discussion. I think he's a caricature of himself, but I'm not invested enough in his gimmick to debate how real or fake he is.
 
Shame he got sacked for such a silly reason without warning. Ben really does seem like a sweetheart in his own bubble and this Big Brother experience would be huge for him and completely different from what he is used to. I don't think he's fake at all.

Agreed, this would be a life changing experience for anyone. For ben though, it would so much more. In relation to the fakeness though. I don't necessarily think hes being fake or untrue. I do believe however that he is playing it up and using it to his advantage and playing the game BIG time. Just my opinion though :p
 
People need to be aware that there are A LOT of people that are naive like Ben that aren't street smart at all and don't know these things that people consider are normality.
 
I don't see why people have an issue with Ben. A lot of the comments that I've seen (more so on Facebook than here) are really just lame attempts by douchebags to make themselves feel better by putting him down for his supposed inadequacies. But honestly, who gives a fuck whether he can cook vegetables or not? Who cares if he wears his pajamas all day? These sorts of things do not have any bearing whatsoever as to whether or not I like a person.

It's also very understandable that an introverted gay man would have great difficulty in finding a partner (another supposed failure that people have tried to criticise him for). He has said on the show that he rarely meets gay people because he never goes to gay clubs. And who could blame him? As a straight guy I'm eternally thankful that that I don't have to go to a nightclub and listen to the bloody Scissor Sisters every time I want to meet someone.
