I aways thought I disliked WUMs because I couldn't stand James Jordan (the Brad Pitt of ballroom dancing) but I liked Marc (and Joel), kind of liked Perez, and had a love/dislike relationship with Hughie (preferred Jason & Andy). Hmm, I guess I like non-malicious (imo) WUMs. James Jordan seemed kind of malicious (can't remember any specifics but there was something that rubbed me wrong). Helen wasn't a WUM....regardless, I couldn't stand her. I don't hate any of the HMs (hate is too strong a word to use for contestants on a show)....but I seriously disliked Helen.

sorry for rambling but I just realized that I have a soft spot for some WUMs (as long as I don't perceive them to be bullies or getting too personal with people)
I like every HM you liked except Bear. I probably liked Perez more than you because no one liked him as much as I did and I was fine with James Jordan but that was because I didn't think he was actually mean but more that he was just trying so hard to be a WUM however he wasn't that good at it. Perez made me laugh so that is a plus but Marc was a real all rounder. If only we had VTS for him

Love hate with Hughie too but really liked Andy and was thrilled Jason won. I like WUMS too but not Bear

ok, I really liked Perez on CBB but put in "kind of" because I didn't want to argue about him and so many people here hate him*. I love him blowing kisses to that guy (Aubrey?) who got kicked out of the house (Perez sitting on a different sofa blowing kisses was The Best). I downplay my Perez like because people got so nasty on here about him and he was harmless. I even loved his raunchy garden dance. We can disagree on Bear

*I get tired of having to argue about why I like someone and realize we all have different perceptions of the same events. I do like it when specific examples are used to back up opinions but it all still comes down to personal perception

I remember FM EnricoV (I think....sorry if this is the wrong FM) did a great transcript of Perez that showed how Perez was in the right and the guy who got kicked out was in the wrong. Ack, don't quote me because I don't trust my recall/memory.

Excluding your dislike of Bear (), you have great tastes

But onBots, Rylan asked him what he intended doing now he had won, and Bear said,

''Treat the family''

(Giving a definite impression to me that he thought he'd won some dosh)

Marnie used to say, ''We're all lucky to be here'' etc, as though she too, was thinking they were all in ''Civilian''
of course he will treat his family he has an agent and is fully aware that as a housemate on a popular tv show he would be earning good money after the final , he told Chloe to pack a bikini as they were going to Dubai , obviously the holiday is a freeby in exchange for exclusive photographs and stories , wonder how long their relationship lasts , good luck to them both

He should have entered the civilian show. He would be a lot richer now.

Come to think of it - in 'Bear World' he probably thought he did enter the civilian show.
I'd like to understand the BB production logic that puts Bear as a celebrity and Lateysha in civilian when they both had what seems like lengthy reality TV stints.

I like Bear, he was my winner, but of course I recognise that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I was watching BOTS with my husband and we both agreed that Bear seemed to think he had more money than he'd originally thought coming to him. He was acting as if he'd won the civilian £100k.

Anyone else think this?
My first thought was that he was mistaken in thinking he wins a cash prize and then I realised why he might be expecting shed loads of money...... Mr. Super Confident clearly put a bet on himself to win! Not sure what the odds were at the start of the programme, but as most of us had never heard of him I am guessing they were good odds. He might even have borrowed his £12k fee and lumped it all on himself!!!

That's a good idea! He was 12-1 at the start of the show.

Dubai in August is the worst idea - temps of 50c at midday. He might as well save money and go to Ibiza.

WUMs can be great company and great fun, you do have to have a certain amount of charm to be a good one and it's also knowing when to stop. James Jordan is a good example of a totally rubbish WUM, not one ounce of charm within the man, and possesses that horrible trait of always having to tell others what a nice person he is. Wonder who he is trying to kid here?

Sorry wondered off topic, James Jordan can do that to a person

You're right of course - that must be why MTV wanted him on Ex on the Beach this year and in 2015.
They wanted him for a show tthat has an audience of 97..000 (according to Barb). He's hardly starring in programmes with record breaking viewing numbers is he?

Oh PLEASE. It's not rocket science. He's going to make a fortune through interviews and personal appearances.
The same kind of fortune Jeremy Mcconnell got when he was able to command around 2 grand for an appearance and got offered around 25 PA's? I'd hardly refer to that kind of money as a fortune.

Ist's more likely that he will blow his 12,000 within weeks and then be broke again. He has a history of this. A car, a holiday and he'll be back to sponging off his parents until his next cheque comes in.

My goodness!

It's a tv show!

It is nothing like a national election.

This isn't politics. Whoever wins the show will not need to make decisions which will effect the whole country. Bear is the most popular housemate and therefore deserves his win.
Thank flippin' god for that. It's bad enough with the ones we have already.

Did he think there was a prize for winning? Shows his intelligence if he did.

surely, he must have got some compensation from BB for spitgate (apart from probably promising him good edits to secure win!). thought that was really very irresponsible for BB to letting him eat it.

I wonder if they get bonuses like a lot of American reality shows give to cast members who cause fights and drama. (Like the Real Housewives, Batchellors, etc)

Either way IMO he was just being Bear with his winners reactions, sticking it to the housemates and to the "Get Bear Out" chanters in the crowd that he'd won with his usual "positive" bravado. (Good for him!)

The last season got 860k so you are out by a good margin there.

Really, sources please? That's what it says on the Barb site, check for yourself. Just because it supposedly got that for last season, doesn't mean to say it would get the same the following season. BB used to get around 6 million viewers when it first came out, It hasn't managed to sustain those same figures in preceeding years.

It is a bit crazy that the normal Big Brother has a £100,000 prize and yet some of the celebrities on this show got a lot lower than £100,000.

The fee they get for appearing is a lot more than the regular BB prize money. Gemma Collins got 250k for appearing and Johnathan Cheban got 300k. Bear's agent is a horrible negotiator!
