Anyone else gone full circle on their opinion on Bear?

[hazyjo]

The last couple of episodes, I've found myself warming to him, especially when he gets a rise out of one of the others. All the qualities I really hated in him are now endearing him to me.

He was my number one to go, hated him in the house, thought he was a complete twat, hated him winding people up, but I have come full circle and am now actually enjoying watching him.

Taken me a while to admit it to myself lol.

I still don't like the rest of his group - they can all bugger off.

Am I alone... :shame:

[Denver]

no ive flatlined on him and been pronounced dead

[Northern Monkey]

There is no mistaking that he's a twat but he's a refreshing change from all the false bull**** from the rest of them bar James.

I don't mind him, I think there are a lot worse in the house masquerading as "nice" people

[caprimint]

It's cool when people admit they have had a positive turnaround on a housemate. Bear just has something about him :flutter:

Actually, I'm smirking sometimes when I see him. Didn't fancy him, didn't even like him, but am starting to find him very attractive... :hehe: I feel like I've just fessed up to fancying the devil lol.

[Withano]

Yeh, think youre alone. I think everybody has either constantly loved him or constantly hated him since day 2 or 3 really

:laugh: He's playful and cheeky - two qualities which I think can definitely endear you to someone. When he first entered I just remember thinking his accent was annoying and I wasn't gonna like him. A few of episodes in and that completely turned around and I loved him.

Ive gone the other way, I started off liking him, and thought he could be a fun housemate. But now Im bored with him, he just does the same thing day after day. Sam got it right with the pie in the face task. He really is quite boring.

[Ellen]

At the start i thought he was going to be fun and a right laugh but Baby Bear's constant infantile behaviour bores the pants of me, its not natural, its all an act for camera time.

[rusticgal]

Nope...I can honestly say he has grown in there....he went in a dickhead and he will come out an even bigger one. :laugh:

[Kazanne]

No and don't think I will,the only housemate I ever did that with was Helen,Bear has no likable qualities from what I have seen

[Epic.]

I find him extremely repetitive, boring, and a hateable and disgusting personality with the way he taunts others and uses women.

[Kazanne]

So is my 6 year old but it becomes annoying after the hundredth time,we have the same old unfunny crap from an adult.

No there's Vanessa as well as you.:laugh: I haven't changed my opinion of him, except maybe to dislike him more than I did when he went in.
He's a psychopath. The characteristics are all there and while some psychopaths can be utterly charming, bear is not one of them. There is nothing funny or charming about anyone who behaves in such a boringly, repetitive, childish way.

[hazyjo]

Nope...I can honestly say he has grown in there....he went in a dickhead and he will come out an even bigger one. :laugh:

Haha yep. Totally agree.

Trouble is, I agree with all of you! Even the psychopath bit! He is annoying. Calculated. Unbearable. An absolute tool. But rather than mute it when he's on or play Soda/Jelly Crush, I'm sitting there smiling. Not sure what it says about me lol.

I hated Helen btw.

It depends what you find entertaining/annoying. I find Sam and Ricky's constant moodiness and attempt to ruin fun annoying, I also find "BOOM!" annoying, and Renee's shouting and talking down to somebody every time she disagrees with them.

No - hated the little prick on day one, hate him now, no change!

[Miranda123]

No and don't think I will,the only housemate I ever did that with was Helen,Bear has no likable qualities from what I have seen

You and me both Kazanne, went from hating Helen to wanting her to win

but you are right, this prick has no redeeming features at all!

[the truth]

bore off bully bear

[kirklancaster]

Yep. I HATED him at the start, and now I HATE him twice as much. :laugh:

[Livia]

Hating him when he started and liking him now isn't going full circle. It's going half-circle. 180 deg as opposed to 360. Just sayin'...

And no, I dislike him as much now as I did at the start.

[hot2go]

I think that's why it's good that CBB is longer this time....allows time to see more sides, not just to Bear but all of them.
I've liked Bear all along but I know why others don't...Heavy irritates me but I've also got an improved opinion of him compared to couple weeks ago....takes time to see a fuller picture...he still annoys me but I recognise the poor me label as somethings given to him by fans and not himself.

[puzzled]

He was a nasty, annoying jerk; he is a nasty, annoying jerk, and he will probably always be a nasty, annoying jerk.

[Vanessa]

No there's Vanessa as well as you.:laugh: I haven't changed my opinion of him, except maybe to dislike him more than I did when he went in.

Very true :smug:

180 then. You know what I mean :spin2:

Usually me who's the perfectionist lol.

[Morgan.]

I started hate. About a week ago I liked him. Now I hate him again.

[Paula D]

Ive gone the other way, I started off liking him, and thought he could be a fun housemate. But now Im bored with him, he just does the same thing day after day. Sam got it right with the pie in the face task. He really is quite boring.

I've gone the opposite way as well, at first I thought he was funny but it's just the same thing over and over.

[Livia]

Very true :smug:

180 then. You know what I mean :spin2:

Usually me who's the perfectionist lol.

I'm feeling particularly picky today, you'll have to excuse me.

[Razor]

No. I've thought he was a cock from the start and that hasn't changed at all.

[kirklancaster]

He was a nasty, annoying jerk; he is a nasty, annoying jerk, and he will probably always be a nasty, annoying jerk.

:laugh::laugh::laugh: Come down off that fence Puzzled. :hee: But you are soooooooo right of course. :laugh:

[Griffin5779]

There is no mistaking that he's a twat but he's a refreshing change from all the false bull**** from the rest of them bar James.

False Bull***? do you really there is anything real about Bear? He spends every minute acting like an ass for camera time.

God i hope for his sake it is an act. there is no way that anyone can be such an ass naturally

[Kazanne]

You and me both Kazanne, went from hating Helen to wanting her to win

but you are right, this prick has no redeeming features at all!

Spot on Miranda,I was so pleased when Helen won,what a turnaround that was,I really disliked her when she went in too ,but this twonk,not a cat in hells chance:laugh:

[Stevep]

There is no mistaking that he's a twat but he's a refreshing change from all the false bull**** from the rest of them bar James.

But Bear is also being false? He has stated a number of times that he is playing a game.

Yes you are as far as i'm concerned - he should have been ejected.

[Vicky.]

I came the full circle by about day 5. He was on track to be my least fave ever from his entrance, came across a right twat. Day 4 or so I started warming to him. Now he is my fave (or joint fave with Renee) though I don't think he is a particularly nice person or anything, I would hate to live with him myself...but I don't base BB on who I personally would get along with tbh :p

[kirklancaster]

Me too....but I didn't dare say anything

[Northern Monkey]

He's upfront about the fact that he's playing the game.That's honest not false.He holds nothing back unlike the bores who let nothing out.

[Northern Monkey]

:laugh: Preferably without a parachute from a jet in midflight over a live volcano.

:joker:

You know sometimes i the impression that you're not the biggest fan of Bear.

[empire]

for once bear was a mate to heavy d when everyone put heavy up for evicton, he said that seven out of eight people don't give a flying f''k about you, and bear sat in that room and seen all, for once he told the truth to heavy d about how the house treats him,

He just omitted the fact that he has been goading him into doing the very things that make the other HM's hate him . Very honest indeed !

:laugh: I think if they parachuted him into Syria in the middle of an ISIS stronghold, within ONE fecking month they would ALL surrender. :laugh:

p.s. With that 'rabbit' patter, he would not only talk them out of beheading him or any other violence, but actually convince them to watch tapes of CBB 18 and hail him the fecking winner.

[BeloTheBelt]

Hated his entry to the house.
Warmed to him for the few early days.
Now I would welcome someone smothering him with a pillow.

[Garfie]

Actually, I'm smirking sometimes when I see him. Didn't fancy him, didn't even like him, but am starting to find him very attractive... :hehe: I feel like I've just fessed up to fancying the devil lol.

:laugh: A guilty pleasure?

[Garfie]

Yes, exactly. This comment to me was more about highlighting that everyone dislikes him, and to make him feel more insecure, in my opinion. He knows all too well how to undermine someone's confidence, and I felt this was rubbing his nose in it.

[power2thepeople]

I've gone from wanting him off the tv to wishing him on others. He needs a challenge. Maybe an apprenticeship on Ross Kemp On Gangs and he gets his own catchphrase in tricky situations: "Ruthless!!"

[Yaki da]

To be honest, I found him tedious tonight. The stuff with the book was moronic.

Amazed people could warm to him after that.

[hazyjo]

:laugh: A guilty pleasure?


Indeedy. Okay. So I hated him. He's not my type. Not in a million. But I seem to have developed a completely inappropriate crush LOL. Maybe I have undiscovered masochistic tendencies. I love the way whenever he says anything in denial, his arms go straight up. "Wasn't me..."

I'll hate him again in in a week. So fickle.

Out tonight so just on catchup gawping at, I mean watching him, I mean Big Brother, now. Ahem.

[Pete.]

I guess you bought into Bear's poor me act after Chloe left, OP

[hazyjo]

I guess you bought into Bear's poor me act after Chloe left, OP

Oh God, no. He completely used the poor girl as his plaything.

Stand by the fact he's an absolute twat lol. He was annoying tonight. Maybe I see him as the pantomime villain. Or someone like the devil in The Witches of Eastwick. Fancied Jack Nicholson in that too lol.

[Marsh.]

Bear just has something about him :flutter:

Certainly not a brain.
