You forgot to add IMHO - cos I don't care what you think I would rather watch Bear than Saira, Katie, Audrey or Bear, your opinion matters not one jot, even though you are entitled to it.

A word of warning - might be better not to call a f/m a knob

You'd rather watch Bear than Saira, Katie, Aubrey or Bear?

Was that a slip of the finger or subconsciously, you don't like him much either lol

Why's that then BrainBox? Reveal your wisdom

I find Bear to be interesting/entertaining. I like him as a HM.

Can't stand him

... best housemate in ages though

Yogi Bear...ever trying to chase the 'pic..i..nic' basket was more endearing .......

He's kind of a budget Marq, great HMs the pair of them.

Really?? That old chestnut?

It is a show, a show that always has and always will divide opinion, cause debate. This forum is specifically designed for just that. If someone says they hate the show, it is their opinion and their right.

If a poster states they 'love' a particular housemate, it would be just as ridiculous for another poster to say "well, just watch the parts that housemate is in then, and ignore the rest" - pointless and really childish.

If you take them out the show it will be a borefest...do not like them myself...but I do not want to see people in bed all the time having cosy chats.

Agree ...you need him in there.

I find Lewis to be more repugnant and I am so pleased Bear is in there hogging the limelight. Lewis and Marnie will be gutted when they get out and their faux relationship has been overshadowed and totally consumed by naughty Bear: D

I dislike Lewis more then Bear...

Your kidding of course. Typical producers giving him and the fake romances airtime instead of to the interesting people. Bear knows he is monopolising the program and it is ruining what set out to be an interesting series. He should have been kicked out when he went on the rampage.

Me too. He's definitely a nastier sort.

Bear is a pillock with serious anger issues but at the very least you know what you're getting with him

So you don't think if you take out the loud and overpowering people, others will come out of their shell a bit more?

It probably won't be a violent house any more but that won't be a bad thing imo.

He is everything I dislike in a man, but do find him compelling viewing. I never know what he is going to do next.....I agree without him the show would die.

Oh I think you will find if you look at the pics of him doing the rounds on twitter, he certainly has no shortage of balls !!!

Every year, there are a small bunch of people who like the vilest housemates 'Oooh, Helen Wood is an absolute legend.' *VOMIT*

Are these the same kind of people who go for bad boys, (or girls,) and then complain when they start cheating on them/taking their money/dominating them/abusing them?

He's a vile article. It's unfathomable that someone would like him.

And why are the most putrid loud obnoxious housemates always called the 'BIG CHARACTERS?' Jeez.

This!! I don't like him a bit, but he is very watchable, and totally ruining the fauxmances which is funny

Agree with this

There's something sly and sneaky about Lewis, he presents and image of an affable, fair minded gentleman when in reality, lurking in the shadows, is a thoroughly unpleasant, nasty piece of work.

I don't find Bear compelling at all.

I find him deeply limited and seriously boring and tedious and unpleasant to watch.

His motivations are simple - be loud, wind people up and target people if at all possible. There is always a pretty obvious current of threat running through everything he does, he takes umbridge whenever he is crossed and he's potentially violent.

Unpleasant, thick and ultimately boring.

I'd like to see the others start jockeying for position, getting to know each other etc. They are cowed by his nasty vibe and irrationality.

I also loathe Lewis - I'd like to see the group watching HIM more and sussing him out. Bear's an open book to all of them.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Didn't they say the same when Lateysha was evicted? The show carried on and was better for her absence imo, so it could be the same if Bear goes

Very good point and it is the same on almost every BB.

Sometimes he makes good viewing, but I don't like people with serious anger issues. When he was shouting "Let me out of here NAH" in the diary room, that wasn't good viewing, until he ripped open the door and was dwarfed by the security guy. I don't think people should be rewarded for bad behaviour, but that seems to be the way of Reality Shows at the moment. - they are cr*p role models.
