I won't be displeased when Ben finally exits the house. He is starting to get right on my ****. Ben is coming across as an insatiable gossip. He is using the irritating habit of prior to slagging someone saying that he "loves them to bits, but..." or "He/She is a great friend, but...". I hope the HM's wise up and nominate Ben or as a second wish Dave.

He does love a good gossip does Ben, he even said:
"Everyone enjoys a gossip, I jolly well do"

He is coming across as a gossipy old woman and it is funny at times... but not all the time,
At least he would like to have some fun
He is is the upper class equivilant of the Charlie "I love everyone me"
At the risk of being shot down in flames...I liked Ben initially but now think that he's beginning to believe his own hype. Both he and Josie start most sentences with 'I' which sounds rather self absorbed. His initial gossipy manner was rather funny but some of his barbed comments are starting to grate. He can be quite supportive and needs to invest as much energy in tasks that are not focused on him. Rant over.
I'm still liking Ben. Faults and all.
I'm still liking Ben, he's a gossip and can be funny with his randomness. It's the vindictive gossiping I don't like and I really laughed out loud at him and Corin tonight 
She was crap and he was listening so intently

still liking ben even when he goes into one of his little rants i just sit and giggle away to myself.
Ben and Corin make the series worth watching at the mo. 
I LUV BEN
For me it wouldn't be worth watching if Ben went.
Sadly Caoimhe, Dave, JJ and Rachel have just deliberately taunted and woken him up.
Quite deliberate - and they thought it was funny.
It is funny no longer. There has been too much of it.

Ben is lovely and annoying all at the same time. I think he is a great HM, he has a great sense of humour and is very entertaining which is more then I can say for most of them in there.
