His desperate need to be liked by the younger group, who encouraged that by seemingly pretending to befriend him only to throw him under the bus time and again; how easily led he is (it wasn't his idea to throw food around, it was Bear's encouragement), his lack of emotional maturity and life experience.
I don't think he should be there at all and I do think there should be somebody on the outside who cares about him enough to see that he shouldn't be there, but seemingly not.
He is being used - not just by Bear & co.”
Oh muggins, how hard for you. And I'm sorry because I'm one of the people saying he wasn't quite right. I think we feel because these HMs are so eager for fame that they'll do anything (like appear on a shitty show like BB) we feel they're fair game. But as you pointed out - I think - the production team are most to blame because OF COURSE he shouldn't be in there. As a matter of fact there are a few every year who aren't stable enough to do BB. It's so like a Victorian freak show.
Heavy's agent should never have dangled this carrot to him. I'll try not to let him irritate me again!
