To Like or Not to Like: Bob Benson

For those of you watching Mad Men this season, tell us: how do you feel about Bob Benson? We’re torn.

Disclaimer: We were slightly predisposed to hate him as our only familiarity with James Wolk (the actor playing Bob) comes from a past role as a preppy-jerk boyfriend type in For a Good Time Call.

This is what we know and like about BB

He is one snappy dresser. Short shorts!

He seems to truly want to help out Joan (also Pete!). Ps. Is Bob dating Joan? We need to see some on-screen physical displays as confirmation. Beach date was not enough.

He is real life hot.

This is what we don’t trust about BB

100% Sycophant.

Bit of a liar. He told Ken his father died, but told Pete that he was recently nursed back to health! Mind. Blown. This could, however, all just be part of the sucking up.

Apparently we are not alone. Rolling Stone started a popular hashtag #WhoisBobBenson and apparently some real life humans have some popular theories about him (i.e. undercover law enforcement, a foil for Mr. Draper himself or even a love child!).

Not ones for ruining TV with conspiracy theories we just want to know if you can tolerate him or not?
