Bear fans not batting an eye when he and the ratpack victimised people like Saira yet losing their **** when someone compares him to cancer, which can be known as:

..it really does show the level of 'hate' in the house..(also in Renee saying that she actually wished physical harm on Bear..)..I mean wow...but it's all though been provoked/instigated/stirred up, mixed around and evoked by Bear..this is the house he wanted, this is the house that he's striven for, this is the house that he's given us...he's been relentless in that and now it's all like a monster to his Frankenstein...it was really never going to end any other way ..he's pushed/prodded and poked for the worst in people and that's exactly what he's got..and this is entertainment..?...this is to further his career or whatever..?..no, this is hate, for which he's greatly responsible and it really isn't pleasant at all...grim Bear/grim Renee...just grim, grim, grim ...

Exactly. Bear is the king of hell in there. If most of us met someone like that in the real world, we'd be like 'Okay mate. Have a good night. Don't do too much more coke.' But because the other HMs are stuck with him, he's been at liberty to inflict his personality on them, over and over. The others are there for the money (fine) but Bear would happily live like that all the time, if he could. I just wonder how he's going to cope once the series is over.

No. Not at all. Fed up of people battling over who can pretend to be the most offended.

Whoever wins tonight it's a sad state of affairs. Forced antagonism, forced provocation, forced and fake humour....well if that's a force of new humour on society, I despair. I wasn't forced to watch CBB but I did, as I wanted to view a number of HMS interacting. It's car crash TV. I'm just relieved I won't be watching Bear again. I'd rather watch real comedy and entertainment.

If bear had called Renee cancer then there would be an absolute outcry on this forum.

Except this is assuming everyone who found it offensive is a Bear fan. Which is not the case.

Though again, I didn't personally.

She wasnt saying "hahaha cancer is funny" like some users misheard... She compared cancer to the worst person she has ever met.

There isnt disrespect here imo, she said at the beginning of the show that she despises bear, it is probable she feels the same way about cancer.

I love the Tiger Lillies song 'Cancer' everyone gets way too over the top , somethings gonna get everyone and why that word strikes everyone with fear is daft , tons of other things kill people but everyone seems to be striken by that word.

It was pretty heavy to use it with such venom like she did. It is about the worst thing you can call someone.

Imagine if Bear had called her cancer! How do you think she would react?

Imagine how social media would react to Bear calling her that!

Renee was an absolute disgrace.

For a woman her age. 68. She should have had the maturity to NOT use a very serious illness to make pathetic vindictive digs at Bear.

Bear, who is 40 years her junior, even he thought it was out of order.

Renee is an appalling person.

Very accurate ... Thought when Aubrey said he was like herpes.....was spot on.

He's antagonising and a wally but...

There really are 'worse types of people' out there than Bear, just pick up any newspaper

Even in the BB house, Lewis and Saira are 100x worse than Bear. Both of them genuinely aggressive and intend to cause actual upset
