It was James.

Now it's nobody. There's not a single person in there with as much entertainment value.

Bear is a classic villain.

It says a lot that they can't decide who to settle on.

And if they do settle on Ricky, unfortunately he is not helping them with their mission as he is looking less and less of a fun person by ducking out of the tasks. I have never seen HMs simply refuse to take part in tasks before - let alone win on the back of it.

He didn't refuse to take part - he declined a consequence of landing on a square taking a fail instead. As for prior examples you obviously missed Renee refusing the eating task and you have forgotten JC last year - the task dodger.

Edit - I guess you would also argue Bear and Heavy D's refusal to abide by the rules in the school task was in fact taking part?

Bear is the good guy. The other housemates are the villains.

Potato / potahto.

And yes I'm afraid I haven't watched this series avidly and recent previous series not at all.

I would very much describe the rule breaks as taking part - moreso if anything!

It's all to do with commitment tot the show. Unfortunately, Ricky has been found lacking in this area.

Rule breaks can at times be amusing but where it is simply done to disrupt the task we will have to agree to disagree on the commitment aspect.

Renee has been his nemesis, so it would be fitting to have her and Bear on the couch at the end, with her winning.
Ricky is the antithesis of Bear, so again it would be fitting to have him alongside Bear at the end, but with the good, polite, kind, respectful guy winning.

Yes I will be doing the same, I like Frankie but I don't think we are seeing the real Frankie!

So Ricky is definitely my winner and also my vote to stop Bear winning!

Exactly my sentiments Miss!

Don't people realise that this is playing right into the producers hands? The reason they "golden ball" a housemate isn't because they love them and want to see them win, its because they know YOU don't and will vote against them.
