But he IS nasty. The egg dropping and food throwing is annoying but not nasty. Its the goading...the prodding until people are reduced to tears. His inability to apologise for overstepping the mark shows just how nasty he is. Even when he popped Katie's balloon...she was upset but he didn't console her over it because he seems to get pleasure from getting a reaction...whatever it is and he takes no responsibility for it.
How do you know he is 'really nice' and that there is more to him? It certainly hasn't been shown.

Well said Ammi..

..yeah except for pouring the oil which was the dumbest and totally disregarding anyone's safety because even older children know how dangerous that would make a walking surface...but then he knows that BB will sort it out so it's safe, so he can carry on being the Bear and doing exactly what he feels like....

No he's not. Marc was far worse in there. He actually bullied and targeted people with Helen. Encouraged by Big brother. Bear is just a prankster. Sometimes he goes too far, but they just don't know how to handle him.

Oh Cal log out! If Bear was being bullied I'm sure he would have let us know

Vanessa 21-08-2016 08:17 AM

Not keen on Ricky, but I respect him for always trying to include Bear. He may be boring, but he's a good man.

Bullied no. Singled out: yes.

g in the garden together, but they don't show it on the highlights. Bear said he likes Ricky now, at least he makes the effort to include him. Most of the rest are just happy to isolate him. Bunch of spineless sheep!



It takes two...why doesn't Bear make the effort?...All he has done is make himself unlikeable.

I agree Marc was far worse...but you have just said it yourself...he sometimes goes too far and in the same sentance you then blame the other housemates for not knowing how to handle him???....he should learn not to go too far!!

Like Bear....it's always someone else's fault.

Oaker 21-08-2016 08:41 AM

nooo don't fall for it </3

Liam- 21-08-2016 09:36 AM

He's the person everyone has an opinion on, of course they're both going to tell him how much of an ass he is, I do think though that it was probably the easier option that exposing something annoying about your friends, but still, i don't really care because he deserves it

Poor Bear being ganged up on. Give him a coffee cocktail and pour some olive oil in his bed.

like... I'm not even watching this series but how is this any different from the trajectories Esteemed Winners Aaron Allard-Morgan, Jim Davidson, and Helen Wood all took? sure the specifics of the stories are different but they all follow the path. Like, swap Bear's name with Jim's and I'm sure a nearly identical thread exists in the CBB13 section.

Better ways of saying what I also said are located above

So poor likkle Bear is now being seen as a victim because he was told a few home truths. You couldn't make it up.:laugh:

So right, jet! But this doesn't just take the biscuit, this takes the whole packet! :laugh:

Vanessa 21-08-2016 11:23 AM

Bear is this year's Jim. :joker: Gets the blame for everything!

MB. 21-08-2016 11:24 AM

I'd like to say I'm amazed that someone can make a comparison to Jim Davidson and try to pass it off as a positive thing, but... at least you're self-aware

I'm not sure there's enough cheese in Britain to go along with all of the whine in the thread :joker:

Babayaro. 21-08-2016 12:00 PM

I disagree. It was more constructive criticism if anything.

Unless this thread is sarcasm idk

all of your posts on this thread, ammi, are excellent - you spell it out. unfortunately, those who are metaphorically dyslexic will never work out how to read the truth. :clap1:

Adamw92 21-08-2016 04:12 PM

If Bear hadn't spent the last 3 weeks isolating himself from the rest of the house with his behaviour then maybe it wouldn't be looked at as him being "ganged" up on. I'm sorry but I feel zero sympathy for him and having experience being ganged up on before, I don't see how this was anything near it.
