I love the face paint. Today he was a pirate. I think he's just bored and trying to amuse himself :laugh:

Stephen Bear is very likely a sociopath (or psychopath). Fact: around one person in twenty has psychopathic traits. Narcissistic, lack of remorse/empathy, the (superficial) charm and huge ego all strong indicators.
The masks worn (especially on eviction days), are a huge 'tell'. Bear is expecting to win BB and on eviction night, he feels he should display the same emotions as the other nominees i.e nervousness, hope, fear etc.. in front of the voting public - except he doesn't feel those emotions - and as he thinks the public expect to see those emotions, he covers up with a mask.
There.. a very simplistic explanation from a psychology professor.. you're welcome.

Wish I had studied psychology...I find it fascinating. I suspected this with the masks in a previous comment.
For those that remember Tommy Cooper...a very nervous and complex man who always wore a fez...that Fez gave him another character to hide behind IMO giving him the confidence and ability to act like a fumbling magician.

Sorry gone off topic...but a mask is something to hide behind and that's exactly what Bear does.
