Ben is a brilliant character hopefully he will stay near to the end.
You need baddies to make a good reality tv show. |

He's a wannabe baddy though and as a consequence he's spoiling the show as opposed to enhancing it.
If you look at the forum he has got everyone talking. I don't like the guy myself but I can understand that the show needs him to stay longer for good ratings. In real life Alan Sugar would have sacked him but he understands that it is a reality tv show.

He makes me cringe as he is a fellow country man - but NI is full of twits like this - fortunately for us most of them seem to end up moving to England!!!!
![]() The only conceivable reason he's still in is because he's ratings-friendly and makes -- for some people -- good TV. But please, someone, put him out of our misery in the next fortnight. |

He was so rude and arrogant I wanted to slap him! But I guess he makes good telly viewings. I find this programme is becoming too predictable. Felt sorry for Paula but she did make a very big mistake.

You are absolutely spot on: there are so many neanderthal twerps like him here, it would make you want to cry. Mouth full of marbles accent (most people from NI don't talk like that)

![]() I am having a crap day but that just made me cry laughing.I've only seen this show once (last night) and he's a complete knob. Not only is he rude, arrogant and delusional, he's not remotely good looking. Lee from last year on the other hand.

His likeness to a rodent is certainly uncanny. In fact I think he's slowly morphing into one.

I don't hate him. I just find him a complete idiot. He's no Katie Hopkins is he, who was a real villan.

To put it bluntly, Ben does have balls - and therefore some business accumen. However, it is his own level of stupidity which feeds this. He's so lacking in the brains, that he's less fearful.
There is direct correlation bewteen a person's level of awareness and level of fear. How scared is a child of most things? In comparison to adults, bizarrely brave. He's one of those people who shouts louder in order to win. But in reality, it looks like he has so much growing up to do. In last week's task he acted as if he was gorgeous as well, and he also has a scholarship to Sandhurst.....? Methinks he's just plain clueless. |

To me, Ben is this year's Michael Sophocles (the so-called nice Jewish boy who didn't know what kosher meant) (rolling my eyes). Both can be very rude and insulting, they don't care how they come across on the screen and both are kinda crap in most tasks. It's possible Ben is a better salesman than Michael and that might keep him in the show but I can't see him winning. He's far too confrontational to actually win the show. But he has a certain entertainment value. He's so unlikeable he makes good tv. The boring candidates of the Apprentice rarely make good tv.

Ben seems to be almost universally detested and he's managed it a great deal quicker than Michael did.
I thought Michael was much better entertainment value than Ben, although that may change. |

He is vile and repulsive. End of story.
From the way he talks you'd think he hadn't even been educated. Vile vile vile. |

I watched it again last night, and it is obvious that Ben deliberately kept himself out of anything to do with costings, and then was pleased that they'd made a mistake, thus allowing him to absolve himself of all responsibility for anything other than mixing. He is a thoroughly nasty piece of work, and the sooner SAS realises that the better. In fact SAS said what Ben had done (or not done) was a "crime". Surely a "crime" is worse than a mistake! Wrong decision! Paula would learn from her mistake. Ben will learn from his "crime" - to do it again!
