What an arrogant little globule this boy is. Whether he is continually attacking others, even down to their appearance, or his continued bold assertions in that horrendous accent, he is really grating on me.

If another woman had made that remark about Kim's weight, she would be lynched, yet Michelle Mone champions him.

If we are talking appearances, then Ben, who resembles a confused mole, would have long gone.

Get rid of the odious little oaf.

Am I alone in this thought?

I'd dislike Ben more if I didn't think he was trying to be as obnoxious as possible for the sake of the cameras.

It's almost as if he desperately wants to be the villain.

It's the genuine nasties you gotta watch out for, although I'm not sure there are any of those this year.

I agree...he seems arrogant without reason and the unneccessary rudeness was very off putting. Typical small man syndrome that Micheal had last year.

I think Ben's alright. He's quite funny infact, whether it's intentional or not. 'I'll bite his teeth off'

At least he stepped up this week. It was easy for James to blame him but he hadn't come up with anything himself.

Nope, I agree with every word. I wanted to throw things at the telly when he made that comment about Kim's weight. The bloke has obviously never been to an opticians, I can't believe he considers himself the best looking.

I am constantly amazed at how arrogant some people can be.

He looks like the worst parts of Alan Cumming and Michael McIntyre poured into one Northern Irish nerd-turned-wannabe-playa.

Better to come up with nothing than a complete turkey.

See my thread under "Ben" for an amusing link to what his employers did when he was picked for the p[rog.

James is a pillock for missing the key point - he told Ben and
Majid not to turn a simple idea into a home gym, which is exactly what they did.

Jiving with? Please explain.

He's definitely a total bellend though.

But if you read Majid's DS interview he says that they were told by consultants to do that.
That wasn't mentioned or seen though, was it?

Yes, he's playing a role. Just like BB, the show is eating itself, with the usual pigeon-holed characters. He's clearly intended as a pantomime villain who of course will be protected until close to the end, but prevented from winning. James is transparently being groomed as a figure of fun to be mocked for a few weeks, before being put out of his misery.

Sadly with all reality shows, eventually the candidates settle for role playing.

There's hardly anyone in there with any real gravitas any more. They're the sort of people who have probably lined up for BB auditions.:yawn:

I cant wait to see him get fired. I think he is a pompus arrogant, big-headed obnoxious, rude prat.

He so fancies himself as a high flyer cool dude and is so up his own backside. He is the most irritating contender I have seen on the show. He makes me cringe. I really felt that he should have been sacked last night. He completely took over the project and no one else got a look in. I only wish that James had got a backbone last night and stood up to him about that stupid box thing he came up with.

I agree. He's the least likeable of this year's candidates by a long way - he's nothing but an overblown ego.

Amazing resemblance!

He also looks slightly like Charlotte Church's husband Gavin, the rugby player, though the latter is much better looking.

Yes, I do strongly dislike Ben. Vain little pillock. I was quite indifferent until he started calling people obese and pathetic for having bingo wings. If Alex last year had been like that about his appearance, I would have accepted it better, the bloke was a looker.

But Ben? Short, fat, with a featureless face. And silly outfits.

He definitely needs taking down a peg or two. He reminds me of a some of the guys I used to go to school with. Would do anything to look good and stab others in the back. And his accent is terrible. With that said, I do find some of his comments quite amusing.

No you are not alone - he is a dreadful little man - I am from NI and that accent of his is a complete and absolute fabrication and put on although why anyone would actually contrive to put that on is beyond me.

I do agree he is trying to be the villain, but he is also genuinely obnoxious and I hope he gains no further fame once booted.
