Tigtog is right. He would be thinking about his future employment prospects. We still don't know exactly what it was that Ben put in Travis' eye. Was it shampoo or something nastier, like cleaning spray? If you examine the pictures of Ben before the incident, you can see what looks like a spray bottle rather than a shampoo bottle. What is for certain is that you cannot trust anything BB says about the incident. Sorry, Ben is a law student.

According to Behind BB, the attack on Travis happened in the toilet, not in the shower, as BB is making out. Eye is right, however, as seeing Ben's freaking out as meaning Ben is selfishly seeing he will be thrown out by the public for what he did to Travis. Ben is a lawyer, and may be thinking about possible legal action from outside the house, by Travis' family. Speaking of Travis' family... I don't believe Kyle has a respiratory problem. I think he and BB may be threatened with legal action by Travis' mum for repeating the slander about Travis' sexuality. There is also still the unresolved problem of Rima's absence. Will BB be compensating her for loss of earnings? What about Rima's prizes on exiting the house? Does Rima have a case for legal action against BB? The show is falling to pieces.

Negligence and reckless indifference to the potential harm in spraying "shower gel" (the bottle didn't look like a body care product to me) into someone's face. I hope he recovers from his shingles quickly and that he doesn't lose the sight in that eye. Travis would have to succeed in a private lawsuit against the attackers.
