Speidi were complete social outsiders to the house and therefore were alien in a more relatable way, making you root for them as villains a little. They were also much more genuine as people than Bear.

The reason so many here think Bear is the worst CBB housemate is that, not only does he have no relatability, but it makes him just a terrible person who doesn't deserve anything. Speidi would also repeatedly get comeuppance for their actions through getting slayed but anytime someone challenged Bear, they had something about them that stopped the audience from fully rooting for them. Samantha? Oh no wait she's been nominated so she's just being a bitter fool. Renee? Oh no, she wanted Bear for a cuddle she's clearly fake or whatever. Aubrey? Oh she spat in Bear's food let's not sympathise with her. Frankie? Oh wait he still apologises to Bear constantly and acts like his friend. Ricky? Becomes one of his besties later. Bear never got karma at all. Even his ex coming in didn't solve anything because he wins like a week later so what was the point of it :shrug: Him winning was also a big factor in hatred towards him, as it's a testament to the disgrace that is the human race :wavey:

Excellently put :clap1:

Speidi were nothing like Bear, they definately did get into some awkward situations but it was mostly down to being American and playing the game like it's US format...also they never really took over and tried to hurt anyone just for the sake of it like Bear did.

Also the biggest thing is Speidi were not pandered to like Bear was - he literally got away with everything a normal housemate would be ejected for - he was an aggressive, violent, bully.

Kenzie should've won instead of Bez.
Kerry should've won instead of Paddy.
Ricky should've won instead of Bear.

Heidi and Spencer over that idiot Rylan.

It was as a result of this win that we are stuck with the worst sideshow host in the history of television. :bored:

They were social outsiders bc they isolated themselves and refused to talk to anyone or participate in tasks and did so under the pretense of Gameplay and Playing A Part so that's not all that genuine to me? Maybe a little more so compared to Bear, but not much.

eh, Speidi had three separate nominations twists designed to protect them so they definitely were pandered to, even if it was in a slightly different way than Bear was.
