i felt so sorry for ben when nasty sam was leading him on! your better than her man, chin up!

I thought Ben was a right wuss, crying all the time - Sam did the right thing to try and win the game, she had my vote anyway;)
Did anyway else see the difference in him after the makeover - I didn't!

I don't know what Jason's on about. Ben rocked the house, and danced better than Usher and Michael Jackson put together.

Hello everyone, according to this scanned article => http://www.kallisti.co.uk/jeb/File0082.jpg Ben is 25 years old and his surname is 'Jewell'

i think that Ben is wonderful. He's my good friend and he's a honey. i think that some of the girls were really horrible to him and that Teri is a complete loser idiot.

Haven't seen the show yet, but I know Ben very well, and he's an amazing person!

Hey Darcy, and Ama.. I would like to speak with Ben, he and i share a lot of interests, including wildlife fundraising, and in particular The RSPB. I have the greatest respect for Ben, could you possibly pass my email address onto him, or feel free to contact me yourself, i`d be much obliged if you could help.
Thanks

Ben: you shone on TV today.
You are wicked and the right girl will be very lucky to get you.
I hope you find everything you need to make you happy.
BIG LOVE X

Kameren, i'll tell Ben to have a look at this website when i next speak to him adn hopefully he'll send you an email. He's great by the way, really funny, generous with his time and energy and kind. he's a top mate.

aye ama, teri did seem like a rather large cow... as did that blonde essex one. it's programmes like that that make me so so glad i'm ugly and clever rather than 'pretty' and totaly retarded.
Posted by: emma  21 Apr 2006, 23:15
i normally can't abide reality shows, but beauty and the geek has taken me in, i think purely because ben is adorable...i can't believe i'm writing this...maybe i shouldn't have that second glass!
am rather confused by this programme though, can vacuous ever be beautiful?! isn't beauty meant to describe body and mind...

Ben did you once do a camping thing called FSC, i really recognise you?
Posted by: ama  22 Apr 2006, 22:41
yes he does. I do it to - it's fantastic. have a look at www.fsc.org.uk
Posted by: Sophie  24 Apr 2006, 08:53
Hi, I'd just like to say that I watch the show on Channel 4 and I thought Ben was very cute. I would have given him my number, definitely! It's great that he's in to the FSC, i went to a centre in my AS year and I've been in love with the FSC ever since!
Anyway, to whoever that visits this site I'd just like to say hello to Ben and remind him that he is fantastic!
Posted by: Esther Hyams  24 Apr 2006, 11:51
I think he was badly treated, I don't blame him at all for being upset! Sam is awful for what she did to him. He is good looking, nice, really sweet and sensitive, and intelligent. I wish I knew a guy like that. I would not have rejected him, and would have love the opportunity to have a romantic dinner with him. Plus I am a female geek!
Posted by: ben  24 Apr 2006, 15:43
hey folks, thx for the support (well, mostly: Sorry if I've pissed people off) FSC rocks! And don't misjudge the beauties, they're pretty cool offscreen, it's just telly editing.
Bye 4 now

You went to Cambridge didn't you, not smelly Oxford?
And btw your dancing was almost as good as it was at the wedding.

To ben (if you look at this site again). I hope you were not too upset about what happened with you and Sam.
Posted by: Sophie  25 Apr 2006, 14:05
I'm not sure that I like all this talk about being a 'geek' or being ugly. Why do intelligent people have to be ugly? Is there some unwritten rule which states that brains cannot have a pretty face? I personally thought that all the guys on the show were good looking and in John's case, he looked better prior to the make-over (why did Teri make him look gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that, except it isn't exactly going to attract the ladies is it?)
Anyway all I'm saying is that just because someone is nice looking it doesn't mean they're mentally retarded.

ben is so fit. his makeover had me gagging for him!!!!

love to ya ben
Posted by: chris lamb  05 May 2006, 16:50
ben is so hot
my friend is dating him
i am soooooooo jealous
ps i love the rspb
Posted by: Nessie  07 May 2006, 14:50
I thought Ben was a fantastic guy. Apart from the obvious intelligence he was a genuine, kind and caring guy who was attractive already in my view. It's fine for a guy to cry, it doesnt make him any less of a man, a wuss (you idiot Jason), or gay or anything like that. It's not wrong for anyone to show their true emotions, keeping it all bottled in is worse so good on you Ben.
Your hair looked fabulous after the makeover, really complimented your facial structure ;).
I hope that a lot of girls out there have realised that shallowness makes you miss out on so much and that they should go past looks and see the real person inside, real beauty comes from within!
I'm sure you also learnt a lot from your experience :) Well i'll stop rambling on now. Well done and good luck in every aspect of your life for the future. x

Hey Ben, you were just fantastic on BATG, you're the reason I watched it!
Good job with the dance comp too. I'm sure you've had tons of lady's falling at your feet since the show. And so you should! You're handsome, kind and funny. Geeks rule!!

Anyone else see Ben in the RSPB team on a recent 'University Challenge: the Professionals'?
Posted by: *Angelof67  02 Nov 2006, 17:35
I just caught beaty and the geek on repeat because I'm off work sick,the first thing I did when it finished was rushed upstairs to see if there was a site so I could find out what happened to Ben,his eviction was today and I was gutted.Ben you were robbed you were the nicest person on there,I nearly cried when Sam gave you the brush off after you were so nice to her.Never mind her loss.
Posted by: *Angelof67  02 Nov 2006, 17:50
Is anyone still posting on this site?
Does anyone know if Ben has a blog site or fanmail site?
All the sites on the tv show site are all like professional adverts touting for talk about vain.
Posted by: Web geek [Admin]  02 Nov 2006, 17:57
Hi *Angel, I don't know of a blog or fanmail site, sorry.

This site still gets a lot of visitors, but not so many people are posting now the show is on repeat unfortunately.
Posted by: Dave  03 Nov 2006, 12:56
In the episode where the geeks had to ask one of the beauties for a date, he tried to ask Sam and she just walked right by him. Clearly she had forgotten that he comforted her in the bathroom when she was upset in an earlier episode. Felt a bit sorry for the dude.
Posted by: *Angelof67  03 Nov 2006, 13:33
I thought she was mean as well,but she is only 18 so it probably didn't even occur to her that she would hurt is feelings,girls are very daft at that age and ruled by hormones.She wouldn't have realised it was rude,or she might have been a bit miffed that he nominated her.I still think she was quite sweet though just a bit young and silly

Oh my God, couldn't believe it when I seen Ben was on this prog. I was ont he Weakest Link Student Special with him a few years ago!

He won (funny that).

Ben was at the theatre tonight in Newcastle watching the Tempest: he was sat right next to me!
Posted by: Zedie  02 Jan 2007, 15:04
