Wasn't it because everyone hated Ben because he got on their nerves? I feel sorry for Tariq - he's not involved in the episodes much, and hasn't got as much of a presence as Malcolm had - Malcolm came on screen and you assumed that he had just spent the last couple of hours researching the information, generally being Malcolm. When Tariq walks in, I just assume he went out for a cup of coffee and has returned.

At first Malcolm and Colin didn't appear much either, and went without notice, and me get to know them little by little, they'll give us small hints about this character as the show goes on. But you have a point is not the same, he has to prove he's as good as Malcolm and that's not easy at all
