As a housemate I would prefer to live with Helen because she at least had some downtown but then again, Bear never called anyone a 'rapist or a murderer'.
As a human being I wouldn't want to have anything to do with either of them so I can't vote because I detest them both equally.

Intriguing question. I can't justify this but I instanly got an image of the diary room scene with Helen as the scary security guard. I think Helen would freak him out.
A lot of Bears humour was light hearted and he never got personal as far as we know. However, Helen has branded somebody a "rapist" and a "cokehead" on BB before. Helen is just plain nasty, you only have to read her column to realise that. Always putting down other women in the same industry as her.

I'd die of shame if I ever read one of Helen's collumns, as you say, she is far more blatantly nasty than Bear, but she is a lot easier to ignore if you were in the BB house
Helen was someone who'd give you a slap round the face every now and then, leaving you with a headache. Bear was someone who'd poke you with a sharp stick night and day leaving you irritable and exhausted.

And its the ones who werent even in her 'clique', Christopher the Wasp, the other Chris, even that Matthew has said he prefers Helen to Toyah now or whatever her name was.
Helen can be a real bitch, but i just do not think she is the 'bully' sensitive souls seem to make her out to be.
i would rather see a series with her than bloody Bear again!”
The only ones still in touch with Helen were the ones just as nasty as her.
Bear wasn't malicious. He was just gently nudging people.
I don't know how he can be compared to Helen Wood who are one point called Brian Belo a rapist. Bear never called anyone anything, and in fact Renee called HIM cancer.
I guess it just shows how sensitive and insecure some people are if they can let a character like Bear get to them.
I'd say Bear was more annoying. Helen Wood was just a vile piece of work.
Helens win was more satisfying than Bears because Helen went from radiating pure evil to redemption whereas Bear was always a completely likeable harmless joker who unfortunately became the easy target for that small but vocal minority of viewers who take things too serious and are perpetually offended by something or other.
