He is one of the worst housemates of all time.

He has provided NOTHING. No wit, no entertainment, no energy, nothing.

He may be a nice guy, so what? This is a TV show, it is not about one's moral compass.

Pathetic.

Because, despite what some people say, BB is a popularity contest and people LIKE a nice guy.

Especially when contrasted with those who aren't. (Fill in your own blank.)

I could say who in their right minds would vote for a Pratt like Bear? Not in the least bit entertaining for me, so I believe the answer to your question is, each to their own.

I'm assuming it's because they don't like the one trick pony types like bore?

I did because I didn't want to see him leave. And I probably will again on Tuesday if he's up. That's as basic as it gets.
I still don't understand why nice equals fake - I'm nice and and unconfrontational, and I like people like me.

I voted to save him.

I just like him the most out of the 5 that were up and I have no regrets.

Believe it or not, a lot of people like a nice guy (you may not realise this yet.)

Yes, it is indeed a TV show. It may not be about one's moral compass, but it is about who we individually choose to like or dislike.

Glad you said it about yourself😉

People in the public eye don't always get it right and they make mistakes ! As far as possible if they're a role model for youngsters they have some responsibility to show that though they make mistakes they don't have to behave badly to have fun!
Someone in the house can lose it and have a rant ! That's human!

Play a harmless practical joke! On the best moments from CBB. last
night there was one I hadn't seen !
He put the food order in and ordered 50 bananas and loads of ridiculous things.
It was a one off and of course the housemates were furious but it was spur of the moment and was quite funny because of it!

It's the anti-Bear vote. Ordinarily I think someone like negative Ricky would have gone by now.

I gather if Ricky wins you'll be a bad loser😀

I think you may have read me wrong. I really don't care who wins (I never vote) as long as ir isn't a 'scripted reality star' - as I don't consider them celebrities.

My goodness, that's a slippery slope. So as long as something is entertaining, the morality doesn't matter....... Didn't Rome have a stadium based on that philosophy??

Millions of us knew of Ricky for years before this show. His support is down to him being a decent, kind, thoughtful guy and being a well known and respected celebrity. Probably people have other reasons of their own, but they are my reasons and he is the only reason I'm following the show. TBH I don't care who wins, it's just nice seeing Ricky getting some confidence back.

Why do some people on this forum think DULLARD means dull/boring?

I don't get it.

If I see a word I don't understand the meaning of (rare on this forum, granted ) I take myself off to google to find out.

Why copy someone else who doesn't know what it means either?

A lot of people now vote to stop others from winning.

The "anyone but..." option.

I'll carry on trying to keep him in because I like him & reckon he (and others) lost out on good footage due to the monopoly of an idiot child.

Ch5 had no choice but to concentrate more on Bear due to his antics, but that doesn't mean other housemates were not being interesting or funny while it was going on. Quantity does not equate to quality - Bear may be changing tack now but I'll not forget in a hurry his hateful verbal attacks.

Having said all that, it may also perhaps be that I put money on Ricky at the start when he was 8/1!

Without full live feed we have no idea what he is like, we see him for a couple of minutes out of 24 hours, not enough to form an opinion of him, or any of the other HMs, this will only be solved by the reinstating of live feed.
