That may well be true, James said last night that Bear was making animal noises all through the previous night - he obviously hasn't connected the fact that annoying the other housemates will be tiring him too. Poor Bear NOT!

They're a bunch of dicks for behaving like normal people? I've heard it all now. If they are dicks god knows what Bear is. And if you have no interest in BB if you aren't being entertained by brain dead people like him, that says so much about you really. Just because they try to get on it doesn't mean they are pretending it just means that they are being adults in the real world and making the best of a bad thing. It's called being a grown up!
Renee bullied Bear. He is the victim.

The rest are boring as ****

Haha - thank heavens we haven't had to watch that for 3 weeks!

The getalong gang certainly needed Bear to spice things up. Renee and Aubrey said as much themselves.

It's called being civilised. Re: post 22
Indeed. Heaven forbid that having social skills, empathy and standards of behaviour are considered a bad thing by generation snowflake

For all Bear's many faults, and I don't like the man, dishonesty isn't one of them, what you see is what you get. One may find him objectionable, as I would irl, but this is a television show and there is no denying he has lit up the series. Take Bear out of that show early doors and they wouldn't be getting the ratings they're doing, that's why he is repeatedly saved by the public in the same manner as Farrah Abraham & Perez Hilton before him.

As to having no interest in CBB if I'm not being entertained, well entertainment is the point of the show. I make no apologies for that, none whatsoever. I'm glad he's still in there
He really hasn't lit up the series though. He's hijacked it and ruined it. I realise I'm an old school viewer, who actually wants to see people being themselves and wants to get to know a little about what makes them tick. I'm entertained by wit and humour and intelligent conversation. I'm not entertained by somebody shouting out childish comments, or trying to ruin other people's time out of spite. It's nursery level stuff. What's entertaining about somebody using jam to ruin a book of photos that others were taking enjoyment from?

There seems to be a split amongst viewers. Those who feel the same as me and those who see the loud, annoying, attention seeking person as being the most entertaining. Bear's not the first and sadly won't be the last. It's just a shame. The whole show becomes about the antagonist and the others are only featured as a supporting cast. It ends up with us with us only getting to see them reacting to the antagonist, rather than seeing them in any other context. It puts the other HMs on the defensive meaning they rarely relax and drop their guard. In short it's boring.

As for Bear being the most honest. He's played a part from the moment he walked in. He's the fakest one there.

I agree that he has taken himself away from the rest of the group to work out his next move - but at no point has he tried to make himself look good.

That idea was mooted on here a few days ago, but since then, he has still been throwing food, winding up the HMs, behaving badly (re Lillie) and grabbing attention at times when other HMs have been happy and enjoying themselves.

And if you think it is obvious that he is pondering on how to make himself look good, then that is going to make him look bad too! It would only work if it looked natural.
He has offered to make tea , and had a few chats- seems a bit more conciliatory ( even chatted with Ricky, joked with Aubrey , less arsey with Renee etc ) .
He had also tried the pity party trick: "I've no friends here "( talking to himself in the garden) talking to the dog in the bathroom , trying to be funny or " entertaining" ( maybe for a two year old?)
He is feeling the loss of Heavy and Lewis but not for reasons most would - like missing a friend .
He's missing his props .

- Your post absolutely nailed it. Fakest housemate, no question. The girlfriend he screwed over even said she doesn't recognize the Bear she has been watching. Karma is a bitch and he is reaping what he has sown. I am almost positive that there is no chance he will actually win.

Couldn't agree more. As for this 'without Bear, it would be a snoozefest' claim, do his supporters really not understand that the reason we're not getting an opportunity to see more of the interesting sides of the others is solely down to his constant infantile behaviour.

Take away all his attention-seeking antics and all that's left is a woefully limited, bandy-legged, one-note bore.

True, but they're all a bunch of dicks anyway imo. If Bear wasn't in there I'd have no real interest in watching the rest of them pretend they like each other.
There are many of us who would be quite happy if he wasn't there so we could see some of the more interesting HMs who don't have to behave like children in order to keep viewers watching.

Fun? All i saw them doing last night was stuffing their faces, i didnt see any fun.
There was the beginning of some interesting conversations but unfortunately BB chose to move away from them and focus on Bear again. Hopefully tonights HLs will feature the conversations that the adults had.

How do you know he hasn't been doing this type of thing all along? No-one in there hates him - in James' interview he had a lot of good things to say about him.

Someone on here said that LF showed him playing boules with Ricky over a week ago.

The bad side of him has always been shown - naturally. But we don't know what he's like the rest of the time.

But anyway - my point is that he has not changed his behaviour from bad to good. He is still bad - and sometimes good, but mostly, we don't see.

Unfortunately even some of the HMs do not agree with you that the house would be interesting if he were not there!

How do I know ? I don't - but it's from the comments that the most Hms have been shown lately to say that he has changed . Or at least calmed down somewhat.
Rightly ,some are more skeptical than others about it lasting

The boules happened only after heavy left and that's where the biggest change happened

Renee is the only one who has said that . After he was saved again on Tuesday. I think she very likely thought that he is really popular on the outside and that it would not hurt to become more Bear friendly.

Irrespective of what she said, there are many of us viewers who enjoy seeing the interaction of HMs in the house without them purposely causing drama by behaving like children.

Bear can't be repetitive now since BB has told him to not waste more food. That was his only trick in various forms so he is out of ideas...

I know - there are many of you. I used to be like that too.

But I feel you are hankering after days gone by and never to return. You will constantly be disappointed.

I would imagine trying to keep up the caricature of Bear would be exhausting. Maybe he's actually realised that maintaining the irritating prankster character cones with a price, everyone always says you can't keep a false persona up in the BB house, he's done well but maybe he's not as clever as he thought he was.

Agree.

I find integrity in the face of adversity plays a big part for me too. That adversity should come from BB not a housemate. Loyalty and showing mettle also rank up there.

It's much easier to drop a hate figure or two in there and let them do the work and create the 'drama' through bad behaviour.

Behaving like you deserve an ASBO does not make you 'entertaining'.

Renee had certainly changed her mind last night. There is a video of her saying she's had it with him after he laid into them for showing some sympathy to Marnie when Lewis was evicted.

Yep. Now his village idiot sidekick has gone and his party piece of throwing food has been kiboshed by bb, he's got nothing left to offer.

Shame poor Bear, none of them like him much either so they are all quits.
