Soooo the masochist in me is forcing me to rewatch the series and this time look at all the background stuff I missed first time around. I've already seen some very telling looks from bear as the younger crowd all start jostling around for who gets off with whom, and I reckon he definitely wanted Marnie.

Don't fear too much for my sanity - what's left of it will pull itself together for next week when I have to go back to work!!

Is anyone else as mad as me and want to share their hindsight insights?

I think Marnie fancied Bear rather than Lewis but Lewnie was already a done deal with their agent.

Lewis is Marnie's type - smart and smarmy. Ricky Rayment was exactly the same. I think Bear was too wild for her.

Watching this series once was bad enough, I could never watch it again. I couldn't bear to see the idiot wind up most of the others and torment them to death! It must have been like torture for them!

One thing for sure is that Bear definitely wanted Marnie, hence why he had a row with Lewis over the fact that he said he could kiss her anytime if he wanted. What a nutter!

She'd already been linked romantically a few months ago !

Marnie is the hottest member of Geordie Shore and for someone to small end of average height she has a stunning figure
😃

There's no doubt in my mind if gentlemen Lewis wishes thought was a winner! That Bear would have been there and she for him!
Maybe he would gave been so wild!
Chloe certainly brought out the worst in him.

And I'm afraid Bear for whatever reason ten turned into a very unstable person !
A shadow of his ex o the beach days !
Frankie thought he was gay !
Maybe Marnie or better still Aubrey if she'd been free would have calmed him down !
Not surevwhat he expected being the winner??

Ricky would have been over the moon and Frankie would like in bb in America given half his money to charity He may well still do that!

Bear is still not happy !

Marnie always said she could never go with Bear ,due to him being Vicki Pattersons EX ,as her and Vicki dislike one another and she said she'd never want to touch someone after they'd been with her

I couldn't watch it again. Because of Bear it was a nasty series with a nasty winner.

Good luck OP you'll need it. We'll be thinking about you.

Haha thanks Lily I've only made it through the first one and half of the second so far - I know it's a bit out there - but I really wanted to try and only look at the background instead of the foreground action (easier said than done), and it's actually pretty interesting.

And some of the foreground stuff is interesting in hindsight too. For instance, the first shown kick off from bear was actually over the cupboard space when they were unpacking - there wasn't a full set of drawers for him and he couldn't handle it. The face went red, the eyes went wild, and the hands went up while he complained loudly that everyone else had a full set of clothes spaces but there wasn't one for him.

He'd already isolated himself a bit by then, but earlier in his entry interview with Emma he sounded quite ok.

I'm NOT re-watching, but I recall that situation and I recall my early impression of Bear being that he was very uncomfortable and on edge with the whole situation, unsure of himself and his standing within the house, aggressive and quick to fire up (the drawer situation was just that he'd not seemed, from what I recall only, to realise which one was his - they had all allotted a column of hanging/drawers each and he didn't seem to realise which one was his). He seemed, as I say, very on edge, nervous.

He seemed very tense, I can't recall for certain but I seem to have a recollection of him being tense about being cooped up, his comments later in the series about 'that box' (I think that's what he called it? Was that him?) and his reaction (the night with the security guard) to being locked in seemed to me telling that he didn't like being in a small space at all.

I think he fancied Aubrey, part of the reason he tried to give her such a hard time, why he didn't kick off about spitgate and why her words affected him the most

Doesn't really matter now, he'll be back filming ex on the beach soon

I couldn't either but funnily enough, I started watching the normals on Dailymotion earlier.

Keep hearing that it was good so I'm giving it a go

I'm only on episode 1 and my early prediction is that I'm not gonna like the Jayne bint

At that point I just thought he was a bit thick.
He didn't realise that he DID have a full section, lower and upper, and that BB had pre-allocated them, with monogrammed towels to indicate which section belonged to who. He had chosen someone else's [I think possibly Saira's] and she was explaining to him that he had his own sections on the opposite side. He was doing her nut in even then but she was very patient.
Looking back it could have been his first wind-up, but at the time I didn't know what was to come... none of us did.

Pjs loud, I've very much known for my work in assisting people with mental health and can't help but advise you not to rewatch every episode of this again.

You could write a short book in the time or learn something which will fund your life more positively. It will be worth it over Big Brother.

Those were the days, when £29 was worth £29

Oh yes. Now I remember what the point of Elizabeth was.
