They made that comparison on BBLB, Toidy - I agree with you - it is already becoming unbearable to watch.

When someone tells you they are not gay then you back off. Mario is in danger of turning the public off if he carries on with it.

Very true. He's actually beginning to annoy me now and what with the streaking through the garden last night, he is fast becoming an irritant. I absolutely loved watching Craig Coates and Anfonee.. made that series for me!

Ben should keep schtum about his 'dabbling' while in boarding school, too. It's not like Mario needs any more encouragement, and if we had to out every bloke who experimented during their public school years, we could probably paint No10 pink..

Mario is desperate to flatten Ben's bed hair. Mario is swiftly losing public support, he's gone from underdog to stalker within 24 hours

I really liked Moley.....but don't like Mario....

Spot On

I loved Moley but not Mario. I didn't like yesterday when he was telling Ben that Rachel will nominate him because he pours his milk from his cereals down the drain instead of drinking it. All she said was she drinks hers.

Hmm.Mario Hero to zero in 24 hours.

Agree with Katty...

I like Mario and I like Ben.
I also like their relationship.
I think they are both quite aware of what they are doing. I detect no stalking. I think it is all perfectly mutual.

I see no resemblance to Craig and Anthony myself.
Also, just saying "I am not gay" is not the same as saying "I want nothing to do with you."
I don't believe we are in 3 neat little boxes - straight, gay, and bi.
I believe we are on a spectrum and are at different points on that scale throughout our lives.
And we move about on that spectrum.
And there are as many kinds of relationships as there are people. Mario and Ben have their particular unique relationship. It is perfectly possible for a "straight" man to have a close relationship with a "gay" man.

But as I have saidm I don't believe in the categories; I believe in the spectrum.

In fact, for me, the Ben / Mario relationship is so far easily the best thing about this series.

I though that too Deman...way too much touchy feely going on...but I do hope so!

I read that as 'speculum'!

You would!!
I love them being tactile (especially when Dave does not tried to wangle his way in), and they both seem very easy with it. Keep touching I say!
