He has acted like a little child, bullied, harassed, intimidated and antagonized his fellow housemates with his antics all season long. He has tried at every single attempt to gain attention and camera time, even when whatever's happening doesn't involve him. And yet this is being portrayed as 'entertaining' and 'hilarious'.
Not only however is he a horrible housemate but he's a horrible person as well. He comes on national TV, cheats on his girlfriend, and then shows no remorse when she pours her heart out in front of him - and the public are somehow supporting this?
Again, it's pathetic Channel 5 are trying to present him as their winner, by making the highlight shows extremely Bear heavy and editing out bits that show what an absolute monster he is. Obviously they really want the viewing figures to crossover to Ex on the Beach”
Always nice to see some common sense
It's very concerning that they're completely omitting entire events that show Stephen in a bad light. This is more than obvious that they are deliberately manipulating the public into voting a certain way.
I'm sure Stephen and Marnie trying to pull down the Christmas tree was not seen as fun and games by the rest of the house and he had already received several warnings about the fixtures and fittings but it was edited into a fun little segment with happy music to make it seem like it was all fun and games.
When the game fixing is this blatant I'm not sure it even stays in legal territory (when a paying, voting public is involved). It's the public who pay their money to vote and they should be aware of all the facts in order to make their decision.
Anything less is subterfuge.
