thats mario!

It's what they do.
It's just their style.

Who are "they"?

Ben and Mario

when was this??  I've been out most of the day
Mario really is turning out to be a 'precious' little shit isnt he

maybe he had B O

Was it after he saw Ben, Laura and Dave in bed together? If it was, then Mario is still besotted with Ben.

Doing my head in trying to work out who is friends with who in there.

LOL... i know what you mean Fletch.... it changes every day

Dave is a friend to nobody

There are only 2 genuine friendships in that house.

Ben and Corin.
Crab Eyes and Josie.

Because he has finally realised that Ben is an insincere user and his affentionate hugs mean eff all?

How did you come up with that one? I haven't seen them spend much time together. I'm sure he told Corin what a fantastic friend she is and how much he loved her at some point (he did the same to Keeva just to get her 'on board') but I don't see any real friendship between Ben and Corin or in fact Ben and anyone at all. He slags off his supposed best friend Mario all the time and his 'friendship' with Dave doesn't come anywhere near being reciprocated apart from Dave claiming to love everyone.

Corin has never judged Ben.

That is all. No true friendship. He loves everyone, until they notice his faults.

If being a user or insincere are reasons to dislike someone then all the housemates stand guilty (except the news ones, but their time will come).  It's annoying that people like to point out that Ben is somehow in his own class of insincerity when others are arguably far worse than he is, and by this logic all the housemates should be telling eachother to F off whenever they try to hug one another.

Josie's fake affections for Andrew leave my toes curling because I'm cringing that much.

John James broadcasts most days that everything about the place is fake and he treats it as such.  Therefore his sincerity towards other housemates could be brought into question.

How about Mario.  Always worried about how he's being perceived.  Making sure he behaves in a way that he thinks is acceptable to the viewers.  Does it follow therefore that things he says to his friends is fake?

Then there's Dave.  The biggest user of them all.

Some Ben hate lately has been almost laughable, it is so blinkered.

Try supporting Josie!

Ben latches on to people and constantly impresses on them how much he loves them and what good friends they are.

Next minute, he'll be in the viper's nest bitching about them to Dave, whilst saying how much he really loves them, as a person, and what a good friend he has been to them.

He just makes me cringe, now.

Sorry Prom,  I don't know how to multi quote on this.

I haven't seen them spend much time together. I'm sure he told Corin what a fantastic friend she is and how much he loved her at some point (he did the same to Keeva just to get her 'on board') but I don't see any real friendship between Ben and Corin or in fact Ben and anyone at all.

I didn't suggest they are best friends, but genuine friends.  They've had some really nice moments together, and still do although the JJ and Josie domination of highlights tends not to show this.  I don't think you need to be glued together like John James and Josie are.  Also Ben refuses to bitch about Corin when Dave and John James get going, infact I often think that Ben's refusal to hate "the right people" is what gets him in so much trouble.  He is an individual and John James doesn't like it.

He slags off his supposed best friend Mario all the time

Mario isn't his best friend.  Let's be realistic about this.  Mario wanted the "first BB gay romance" trophey and figured Ben would be his best bet.  Having failed to make this happen Mario has been rude and sulky towards Ben pretty much ever since; constantly getting cheap digs in to Ben and more often behind his back to others.

his 'friendship' with Dave doesn't come anywhere near being reciprocated apart from Dave claiming to love everyone

I agree with this.

I can't stand Mario...He's an intellectual snob, a petulant child at times, and his overbearing attention seeking, and sense of entitlement to everything gets on my nerves.

But you like Ben?

I do indeed, in the same fashion asI destest Josie and you like her...

Different fashion, seeing as she is nothing like that!

Yeh she's not an intellectual snob.  Her petulance towards Caoimhe when she tried to muscle in on her imaginary boyfriend did not go unnoticed however.

Corin listed all his faults a few weeks ago in the bathroom.

True, but she doesn't judge him on it.

His perfect world is him behaving just as he likes and everyone accepting that.

Because he is ignorant.  Sulking in the toilet because he wasn't getting attention.  I find him really objectionable as he loves it when he is surrounded by HM's cuddling him and the likes, but as soon as the attention is on someone else, he sulks.  Childish.

i thought it was quite obvious, that mario had spent ages trying to be on his own because he  felt miserable, he asked to be left alone, so he reacted when ben ignored his request so he  told him to eff off.

quite simple really.

Absolutely Senora.  When he first went into the house, I really liked him but have gone off him over the weeks because of all of the above.

mario has become a dull dull h/mate........after the mole task finished all he's really done is sulk when he's been put up for eviction......cuddle people and try and kiss them........sulk when he doesn't get to be on the winners side for a party........and go on about bb bringing in a gay male h/mate for him.....he's yawnsville

I especially noticed with Ben when Keeley was injured and Corin was worried that she might be blamed for continuing with the task Ben was there to hold her hand and reassure her.  The over the top hatred of Ben is just making me laugh now. I'd love it if he was my friend.

That is a spot on assessment of Mario as is Senora's when she mentions his sense of entitlement and petulance. I have always felt from the beginning that Mario is the most desperate to win and subjugate's his behaviour in the house most of the time.

I thought it was because in mario's world, only Mario is allowed to kiss and paw at people at any given moment whether they want him to or not.

He's a whinging little bitch and needs to go home.

when john james put his football top on and him,josie,corin and mario were having a 'group hug'.....john james then went to move away and mario was still clinging onto him!.....in the d/r he was asking john james for a kiss.....he kissed ben and john james after they'd had an arguement......he just won't leave ppl be!!

oh and i think alot of his latest sulking is due to the fact jj said how popular john james was on the outside.....

Mario did say on LF he was annoyed with himself because he had said a naughty word for the first time  he's really getting on my nerves now and he was my fav at first

Mario's a petulant, spoiled brat. You've only got to see how he reacts when he's not picked for a role he wants, or doesn't win a task, or isn't centre of attention for five minutes. Awful, whiny kid.
He can't stand that the newbies have taken the focus off him, hence the sulking in the toilet.

hes a bliddy misery, i wish he would disappear, although i dont think i would notice he had gone.

Exactly Toid!
