Yes he can
Yes he should
Yes he will

BELIEVE IN BEAR

My money is Bear with the bookies. So I'm not just saying it, I've put my money where my mouth is by betting on him winning the show. He will win.

People take him too seriously ((both viewers and housemates!!))

I think Ricky will beat him , and won't that hurt ?

anyway, this time next week they will all be forgotten, unless Bear can land himself a job as a tv pancake and omelette chef

And will. I think.

The anti-Bear vote is too split - they'd need to agree on one HM and all vote for them - and I think some Bear fans are more likely to go mad with voting.

I want him to win, but I don't think he will.

A lot of the general voting public, will want a nice safe bore to win it.

Ricky is the only one I think could beat him. The nice guy anti vote is usually pretty effective. Just think it might be a little too split come final night.

Mind you I thought that with BB17 and I was wrong.

Why do people really make a big deal of who wins CBB? It doesn't boost their career as past winners have faded into obscurity, and I doubt they receive a bonus for winning. So what's the big deal?

I think the people watching BB and energised to vote will more likely swing Bears way in the final vote to win. C5 BB attracts a lot of people who watch shows like TOWIE, GS and EOTB. They aren't interested in bores like Ricky pretending to be nice guys for the cameras.

He definitely can but I think alot of it will depend on this final week, I suspect it will be a straight shoot out between Ricky and Bear

Yeah I think your assessment is correct. I think the Bear vote vs the Anti Bear vote may be very interesting. I think it will be ricky/bear top 2 probably with bear edging it but i'm not sure.

Sadly, yes. It all depends on the HL edit. Show a few more HMs bitching behind Frankie, sam's & Katie!s backs. Something else in which Ricky declines to participate & you will probably get Marnie & Bear as the top 2, especially if she gets h kit off again. There is also a percentage of the voters who won't want to see an American in the final.

Older viewers (like me) who might like to see a quiter, more polite HM win are less likely to vote. I haven't voted for years. I don't think we have seen half the nasty things Bear has done - the pouring of tomato soup wasn't seen on the HLs show for example.

I don't want him to but I think he will win unfortunately. He's spoiled this series for me, I would've liked to see more of the others instead of his antics night after night. Looking at the bigger picture though it really doesn't matter as after friday I can just avoid any tv programmes that he is on in the future.

Exactly this.

Until he appears on the all star version next summer...

Not at the moment. Villains don't tend to win, neither do cheaters.
And if polls are to be believed, his support is still only level with some of the other contenders, even without an anti-Bear vote piling up as the numbers decrease.

Will be a long week though.

I agree with this. CBB winner means nothing. Only for one night - Bang! Fizzle ...

It's the principal for some people. Lots if us want to see reasonable fair play (a little light hearted, tongue in cheek cheating is OK), want the good guys to win - the men in the white hats, the baddies don't win. Being pleasant in the main should pay off. When it doesn't, it jars. It is a slippery slope - have no modesty, break things, cause friction, don't give two hoots for other's feelings and you too can rise to the top. Not the message we want to hear or condone.

Its BB fgs, all he has done is wind people up and have a laugh. He deserves it more than the rest as they have done nothing. Bear is pretty much the only housemate who gets people talking. I'm not saying he is someone to be looked up to but its a game and an entertainment show and Bear given us more than any other housemate. Even Aubrey and Renee admitted that without him the house would be boring.

I would hate to see BB / CBB always get a Disney happy ending.

All HMs are multi-layered - yes ALL HMs. They all deserve fans and detractors.

The winner usually reflects a little of the mood of the series. If a 'baddie' wins, there is usually a reason why - and vice versa if a 'goodie' wins.

If this year's 'baddie' wins, it won't be because people have lost their minds and simply want a nasty guy to be rewarded, but because there are more layers to him, and because he has brought more to the show than any other HM, or a whole host of other reasons.

But it will also be because of the remaining competition. It always is.
