They've been mugging off viewers for years, even before Nikki.

They should do a series just for the chavs. Put Bear, Perez and all the other past attention seeking a-holes in there and just let them be nasty all season. Then do a real season with proper celebs.

I still don't understand why Bear got a different reception to Marco though. They both did pretty much the same things in the house (being annoying, cheating on their gf) yet Marco was hated and Bear was loved for it. Why was that?

There you go severely underestimating the guy, he is a highly intelligent individual who knew how to adapt even when the haters were picking off his allies one by one, he is a born winner and ran rings round people older, supposedly wiser more famous, supposedly more talented and entertaining.


He was the last man standing for a reason, he had the most stamina and he loved being in there, he was hardly helped he was up for nomination 5 times and survived.

If the viewing public had changed then Hughie would have won hands down in the last BB, you could have hardly have two more contrasting results back to back. Well that's on the surface but if you analyse it deeper the viewing public that matter not the CBB nuts that think they 'know' or champion some odd ball for their own demographic ideology can cut through the sh!t and see what's happening and non of the recent results were surprising to me Helen Wood, Jason, and now Bear as much as the BB aficionados acquire tunnel vision through each series the general viewer can see the bigger picture.

The right man won again, eat it up suckers.

As the person who originated this thread, its worth pointing out that it wasnt a criticism of bear, but of the producers, and their aims for the show.

I think, I have already addressed that point in another post


The above was a direct reply to the most recent posts. And if you follow any of my other posts you will see that I am proponent of a complete overhaul of BB, you cannot claim that they are playing the game then still have it as a popularity contest.

The British public usually champion the underdog and in a lot of ways Bear and Jason were just that and to a point Helen Wood too.

I don't think the producers had any idea that BEAR would steal the show it was organic and you can't say that they intentionally kept Bear in when they artificially interfered again by having up for nomination every week. If anything the program was rigged to keep the Yanks in. Aubrey should have been dragged out of there for he gobbing incident and CBB knew if she'd have gone that Renee would have walked.

Nah,mate the program was as organic as it could be even with the interference of the CBB production team. Bear came to the fore and ran with it. The other reason why he got so much air time was the others just weren't worth watching you cannot make an hour long program of paint drying.

I don't know if that's true kirk. If it was then why would they bring in the eternal nomination the day that bear was guaranteed to get it?

I doubt you're around now though, sadly.
