To those who claim that without Bear in the house it would have been a very boring place. I definitely think that we haven't got the to see the full personalities of the other housemates BECAUSE of Bear's presence.

I expected great things from Frankie, I thought I'd dislike him because of his potential dramatics. However I haven't been given the chance to see any of that. Bear's presence has meant that every single waking hour in that house is about him, because he makes it that way.
I don't know if Ricky would have been more outgoing and entertaining. I don't know if the relationships would have been different because at the moment the mutual dislike of Bear is pushing people together who perhaps wouldn't normally get on. So potentially there could have been other dramas going on, but we will never know.

Honestly? I can't stand his frantic need for attention. I don't find it funny to goad people, I don't find it funny to see him being patronising not only to other housemates but also to Big Brother. I don't like that people think he's being ''real'' when he has said himself that everything he is doing is just to get a rise from people.

I sometimes have found the show very uncomfortable viewing because of him. To me, thats not entertainment. I know others will have a different view and I don't expect everyone to share my opinion.

I feel like pretty much everyone bar Marnie, Lewis, Bear and Heavy D who we've certainly seen enough of has potential, of course some of them could be awful if they had the airtime that those 4 mop up, but the likes of Frankie and Aubrey shine anwyay and I'd love to see more of them.

People are assuming "well without Bear it'd be boring!!!" but how do we know? The others of course SEEM boring being barely shown, but we just don't know. Katie could be hilarious for al lwe know, but she's never shown.

For the first week, like most people I was appalled by Bears behaviour and continued watching to see what he did next and to see the reactions of the other housemates.

Now I'm just bored by him and the constant repetitious wind ups. The other housemates are unable to do anything. Nobody really gets punished for rule breaks.

Getting at the stage where I just switch it off
