It's also so interesting that Perez was a very similar character to Bear and was hated. Farrah was in a way, though I think she didn't dominate the series and wasn't as nasty. Only the British villain stood a chance though

Thanks guys! I appreciate it.
Yeah, Farrah wasn't as intentionally trollish as the other two but was still villified for her unpleasantness. |

Amazing
Bear, Farrah and Perez were all exactly the same, but only the Americans were hated because, well, they were a gay and a female American, of course the straight British, 'attractive' male gets loved while those two gets hated, even though they're perfect parallels of each other.

Phenomenal post
I agree with every word and I gave up on this series three weeks ago and I'm glad I did and people are also seeing this series for what it is - a pile of crap. Not only was it hard to get into with a cheap and trashy cast but it focused on the most vapid HM of all and sadly he'll probably end up winning tonight.

Thoughtful, well written post with good intentions but the word 'bully' is being over-used here, as if often is when it comes to BB.
Bear is an antagonist, an egotist, a major wind-up merchant and many other words i won't even write here, but he is not a 'bully'. Every year on BB someone gets called a bully. It's become so routine and predictable to hear that word now, that people switch off from it. Like the boy who cried wolf. This is worrying because over use of the word means that REAL incidents of bullying often get overlooked and ignored because when we hear the B word, yet again, the common reaction is 'we've heard it all before'. I have watched every BB from day one, series one. Very rarely is the word 'bully' justified. This year however i believe there was some actual moments of bullying - but not from Bear. Lewis belittling and exploiting Heavy D in front of Marnie - making him say please and thank you and essentially beg for that half drunk glass of stolen wine - that was bullying. Throwing a drink in Heavy's face with genuine aggression and calling him a 'fat pussy' could also be seen as bullying, though Heavy had provoked him so he wasn't entirely innocent. I also think when Saira was publicly belittling and humiliating Chloe in the bedroom while Chloe quietly cried into her pillow, that was also bullying. Bear has been all sorts of wrong in that house but he has never been personal with actual spiteful intent in the way that Lewis and Saira have. I'm no Bear fan but i just worry about over use of the B word, especially when the likes of Lewis and Saira get away with it because everyone is focussing on Bear instead just because he is loud and annoying. REAL bullying is often much more subtle. I doubt anyone in that house will be actually affected by Bear's actions. But Lewis and Saira actually DID mean harm and clearly caused upset on a whole other genuine level compared to Bear simply being a loud knob. |

Thanks for all of the nice comments guys

By definition a bully is someone who uses their strength and influence to harm other people. He has emotionally taunted people to tears in the house, and knows what he is doing. He thrives of tormenting people when they are at their most vulnerable and does so on almost a daily basis. I do agree that the isolated incidents with Lewis and Saira can be insinuated as bullying. I also think the moment where Saira went out of her way to confront Heavy D on the bed during the bubble task could be called an act of bullying. |

As for Bear, he never once made me feel uncomfortable, not like Lewis and Saira did. The only Bear moment i can think of was when he burst Katie's balloon. It was an act of revenge on her nominating him which was pretty childish and cruel of him seeing as nominations are part of the game. He is such an egotist that he justifies 'revenge' in his mind. Very immature and callous of him, but even then, he never had the outright anger and hatred in him that Lewis/Saira had in their many moments. Bear just seems to dance around everyone like a toxic jester but he doesn't get personal or below the belt in the way that others do. |

Good post. This was the worst CBB for me, and I regret I watched it all. The producers made bad choices firstly when choosing the cast and then secondly, in choosing what they air. I wanted to see something else than what I saw. I wish that in the end, they had left Bear in the house and told he now has his own show, 24/7, then just switched the cameras off and leave him be. I did not laugh once at his "entertainment".
