Ben Cousins doco 2020

[YippeeYiYeo]

On 7 right now.


He looks like the cardbox box bum that lives under a bridge he talked about 10 years ago. Voice is a little raspy. Clearly still using after Basil asked him and Ben couldnt give a straight answer.

 

[Lucev23]

Complete s**t show.

 

[WCEforeverman]

Why did they interview Irene from home and away?

 

[Matera92]

Absolutely cooked.

From a guy who was so well spoken and intelligent, can barely string a coherent sentence together.

Meth is just so destructive.

Yeah he really struggles to string a sentence together. Looks lost.

Well I’m watching this with anger/sadness/disbelief/understanding all rolled into one

Not sure he’ll ever get out of this circle of s**t he’s put himself in. Not sure he wants too

My same thoughts unfortunately, it’s pretty heartbreaking.

Jesus that car drive over the causeway... seeing him in a new light.

That’s the reality.

******* YIKES.

Did you get a “it’s not my fault” vibe?

 

[WCEforeverman]

Did you get a “it’s not my fault” vibe?

I mean I can understand him wanting to see his kids but maybe being a full blown addict means your visiting rights should be restricted

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Did you get a “it’s not my fault” vibe?

Yeah basically.

I shudder to think how he behaves off camera..

I can't believe people in Australia still consider getting into drugs knowing the Ben Cousins downfall.

Such a shocking waste. I don't get mad at a lot of things, but Ben Cousins and just thinking about what could've been for him outside of his football life just pisses me off. And he only has himself to blame

 

[Wet Toast Rule]

I'm getting the vibes that he still doesnt really "own" his problems yet
Not totally contrite

[Altum Volantes]

Biggest reveal in all this is that the bloke’s brain so fried that he watches and enjoys Home & Away.

That’s what I am picking up.

Drug addict who is not newsworthy is in the news. Nobody is watching this aside from the ex athlete angle.

Every day Cuz isn’t in the news is a win. This is a loss. Hope for the best for him.

For all the ads about ‘Ben wants to come clean’, it seems like he does not want to be there at all and doesn’t even want to talk about his drug use

 

[W.C. Fry]

Sad viewing. Is still a good person deep down, but mostly just a junkie. Doesn't seem like that's going to ever change.

Elite people take everything to the next level and it seems he has done the same with drugs.

 

[Altum Volantes]

He doesn’t need to talk about his drug use - it’s pretty obvious he is still using in some way and has a long, long way to go.

Let’s hope the renewed spotlight doesn’t push him further off the rails.

 

[squashface]

Pretty rough watching him pretty much refuse to acknowledge what his parents went through over the years

 

[WCEforeverman]

Well that was a load of crap.

 

[SirKarl0s]

The most insightful part of the whole doco was the little off-camera bits with the producers. The rest was bland, it's clear Cuz is completely gone.

I really do hope he gets it together. I worshipped him as a kid, but this whole thing seemed like a cheap attempt to draw in ratings for channel 7.
