Whoa, Ben (SPOILERS)
As much as I hated him for what he did for Kat and Duck, I felt sorry for him when it came to his argument with Ken in EP5, was about time he stood up for himself and that was the time. Even if Kenny was my bro I will admit that argument was slightly OTT.

1 He said something about his very sad part of not having a chance to even meet his family or something like that.
2. Ken felt sorry for him.
3. Ken tried to save him from the walkers...in the end both of them died. The game strongly hinted that Ken actually used his last bullet to "save" Ben.
4. from the third point, Ken also presumably died from trying to save Ben.
I believe he meant what happens if you had let Ben die in episode 4. Personally I don't know because I saved him.
On a rooftop, Ken bumps Lee and accidentally makes his walkie talkie fall down a hole in the roof into a dark room. Christa jumps down to grab it, and she's trapped in the room with walkers. Kenny jumps down to save her by lifting her out of the room and it is implied that he gets eaten alive.
Basically it comes down to whether Kenny dies saving Christa or dies saving Ben.
Ben dies along with Kenny.
Both Ben and Christa died. When the group jumped off the balcony to the roof, Ben was the last one and he took his time. This caused the balcony to fall down to the ground.
Ben was alive and conscious only because the balcony broke his fall, but unfortunately a piece of the balcony pierced his stomach and seemed to barely miss his vital organs. The metal balcony was impaled so deep into him that almost all if it was sticking out full of blood. Kenny was the first to go down a ladder to save him while Lee followed. Realizing there was no way to save him, Lee suggested leaving but Kenny refused. He locked a door so Lee would be forced to climb back up the ladder, while Ben screaming in fear of getting eaten by the walkers, is shot in the head by Kenny, who chose to end his suffering with the final bullet. Kenny becomes the hero and lets himself get eaten.
The way it came down felt more like Kenny committing suicide on some heroic pretext than real heroism.
I almost stood up and cheered when he told off Kenny. That was a long time coming. The kid did have some stones and I was proud of him. I never hated him anyway. He made some bad mistakes but he was doing what he thought was right, much like Kenny.
I tend to believe that he actually tried to save Ben by fighting the zombies but when he knew that he was losing he used the last bullet to save Ben.
how do you know he didnt?
This. He more or less verbally curb-stomped Kenny - and pulled Kenny's head out of his ass far better than anything Lee had tried to that point.
PLOTTWIST!!!!
especialy after giving that awesome heart felt speech about NOT commiting suicide
Kenny trying to save him was cool though.
Even though he didn't prove himself he at least stood up for himself for the first time, and it was epic =/
Come on, not THIS again. Btw, I was happy he stood up for himself and Kenny finally saw it wasn't easy for the kid. Kenny's death was the most heroic action of the game.
The whole group group killed another dudes family. I'm guessing your game ended when you let that dude kill Lee?
He made a big mistake dealing with the bandits, but he did it with good intentions.
I couldn't shake the impression that his epic rant was directed at certain audience members as much as Kenny...
I think Kenny found it hopeless and meaningless to live, so he chose to stay. Kenny has been motivated by two factors during the whole season - his family, and driving a boat to the sea as a final solution in the apocalypse, which he sticked to all the time. With family dead and the boat gone, plus he felt sorry for Ben, it is likely he choose to sacrifice himself for Ben.
Kenny could've ran away with Lee. Instead he did the brave choice and stuck around with the kid to use the last bullet on instead of himself.
If you say "I'm not going anywhere!" and stay down as long as you can you can hear Kenny being eaten.
I'm glad I saved him in the bell tower but I did still leave him behind at the house in episode 4. I'm also glad my suspicions that he didn't really want to die but felt that he should die to pay for his mistakes turned out to be true.
Kudos to Kenny for giving him a quick death by preventing Ben's biggest fear of being eaten alive coming true,which happens if he was dropped from the bell tower
The poor kid was cursed,when the group took on the walkers at the mansion he even had less bullets in his gun than everyone else
"Me and my big fucking mouth..."
