Imo is because the rest of the cast is fecking dire.
Bear is not normally someone i'd naturally like but he imo is the best of an awful set of housemates.
I also like James.I'm liking Heavy again too after that historic nomination.Renee is pretty funny too due to her NY accent and my love of gangster movies but as a whole it is an awful cast.
Ricky is the biggest disappointment of them all.He'll be pulling out his flat cap and pipe next.Sam offers nothing.Katy Waste-all just cries.Lewis is a slimy character who just don't like for some reason and Marnie is an awful actress.

No. I think some people just interpret airtime=entertainment.

This is absolutely the correct answer for atleast half of Bear fans.

Well missy I actually run the bear fan club and I can tell you i wasn't a fan of the likes of marco who also got a lot of air time but I like Bear... So what's your verdict on that lady?

I don't particularly 'like' him but he certainly is not the satan spawn some make out. And he does something besides piss and moan. Yes the rest of the cast (most of them) are ****ing dire which makes Bear one of my 'faves' pretty much by default. Which is odd as he was my most hated on launch night by a fair distance

Exactly.He is a joker.He's not singled anyone out like Saira did and he's defo no Helen Wood character as some would like to believe.

If you think he is entertaining in his behaviour then that's your opinion..it's certainly not mine. The other housemates are completely suppressed by him and his wind ups..his disrespectful behaviour towards his housemates and his constant attention seeking ways.
Tonight they never showed the tramps revelling in the fact that it's "their house" insinuating their ruling of it by their selfish inconsiderate behaviour.

The two girls really have no self respect....neither of those two lads will be interested when they get out of the house...they are users and if they were my sons or daughters I would be so ashamed.

They represent a lot of the bad behaviour in young people today...and it's awful viewing.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil.....maybe BB should send in a can of WD40 to the ones who haven't made a squeak....mentioning no names....RICKY

[Pete.]

Bear gets shown on screen for 80% of the highlights show and for some people that means that he's the biggest character when the reality is BB is an edited show, meaning that people's personalities aren't being shown/are being suffocated because of some twat from Ex on the Beach.

I don't understand how the rest of the cast can be called boring when they seem to be pretty strong characters/good protagonists against the Rat Pack as Bear's act thrives off them

Not according to Saira last night on BOTS they're not....and let's face it when we do see Ricky or Katie they're still all but invisible ...they are just not even trying ..

[Marsh.]

Because they want to sit on his face.

[Jordan.]

because the producers shove it down your throat and you eat it up

[Lostie!]

The "at least they're doing something" argument would make more sense to me if they were doing something worth watching.

But it's all clearly subjective as I've loved the little scenes between the quieter housemates we've had (on the odd occasion they decided to give airtime to people outside of the boresome foursome) but because they're not running around trying to cause trouble and shagging in the shower it equates to not doing anything to some people.

Those kind of people also have a really oppressive effect on others around them. It's easy to fall back on that same old excuse when they're the ones stopping any other stories from developing in the first place.

Because some people get a kick out of watching others being picked on
Bear is not a nice person, regardless of how funny you find some of his antics, and if you're supporting that you're supporting his bullying

Who is he bullying?Saira was much more guilty of that with two different people.Bear winds up the whole house and does'nt just single one person out.

Bear is NOT funny at all - He is a BULLYING YOB. It does not matter what 'funny voice' he affects - He is a BULLYING YOB, plain and simple.

If I want to watch ignorant, uncouth, bullies such as Bear and Bloor, I do NOT need to turn on my TV set, I can go into the City centre on any weekend at night or on any Bank Holiday during the daytime.

I am getting old, and have had just 5 fights in the past 4 years or so, and EVERY single time, it was not only with a Stephen Bear or Lewis Bloor, but also NOT at my instigation.

I was standing in quite a long cinema queue with my wife and two young nephews of 10 and 12 years old, and had been queuing for about 15 minutes, when Bear, Bloor and two other clones walked STRAIGHT to the front of the queue and pushed in.

The queue was a mixed one, with parents with young children, older people, and young couples, and one slightly built dad with a young girl of about 8 years old - who was at the front of the queue and had been directly jostled by Bear and Bloor and co - tried to protest, but got a load of abuse back from them for his troubles, and understandably, clammed up.

That was just before I shouted to them to get to the back of the queue.

I will not go into details, but they DID eventually go to the BACK of the queue.

I was in a busy town centre pub, again with my wife, and was waiting to be served at a bar. There were 3 other people - a young couple, and a young girl, who were waiting to be served at the bar before me, as well as others being served.

The barman serving customers at 'our' section of the bar was Stephen Bear.

Along with the three others who were waiting, I waited for over 10 minutes as gangs of other Stephen Bears kept pushing into the growing numbers of people joining the 'queue of customers wanting to be served, and WITHOUT FAIL, 'Bear the Barman' - who so obviously KNEW them, served them and ignored both my call and that of the three who were before me. The cheeky twat even looked at us as we tried to tell him that we were next then ignored us anyway.

After no joy trying to attract the attention of the other nearest barman - who DID seem to be serving customers in his section in order - I tried Bear again, but no joy, as he just looked, seemed to become annoyed and snapped at me to "wait", then continued laughing and chatting to his 'mates' as he served them.

This ended up with my grabbing him, dragging him half across the bar and telling him in my best 'French' what fate awaited him if he did not start serving quiet customers in the order of waiting time.

When I let him go, he summoned the bouncers, but was out of luck as the two that came knew me, and knew that I did not cause trouble, so after listening to what happened, they told him that he better start serving according to waiting time then left.

Bear came to me - all nice and sheepish now - apologised and asked me what drinks I wanted. He seemed genuinely shocked when I pointed to the young couple and the other girl - who were STILL waiting - and I said; "Those two first, then that girl, THEN me".

Stephen Bear is NOT entertaining in the slightest. He is nothing more than an egotistical, ignorant, selfish, BULLY - one of a rapidly growing number of Stephen Bears who are infesting society, and ruining the quality of life of other people by IMPOSING his WILL upon them without any regard for them, or their rights, or their wishes.

THEY are the ones who feel it is BENEATH them to queue with we ORDINARY citizens - whether it be outside a cinema, at a bar waiting to be served, or even at a shop cash out - THEY are the ones who, in NUMBERS -- NEVER alone -- walk straight to the front of the queue and push in.

THEY are the ones, who walk THROUGH people BARGING them aside, in crowded pubs, clubs, shops, or on city sidewalks. NOT for them, the careful negotiating AROUND elderly people, parents with young children, or even mere slow walkers, as we ORDINARY citizens do.

And we do NOT even have to SEE these ignorant twats to suffer from their crass bullying behaviour.

I HEAR them every week whether it is while I am sitting peacefully in my garden on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon or in my room late at night quietly reading, or listening to music, or watching TV.

THEY are the ones who spend long periods, REVVING UP their stationary 'souped up' motorcycles, and cars which have had the bafflers removed so that the sound is even more invasive and deafening.

THEY are the ones who let off FIREWORKS from 9pm to well into the early hours EVERY single weekend all year round now, with NO REGARD for other people, their sleeping babies and young children, or their terrified pet dogs.

THEY are the ones who SCREAM and SHOUT at the top of their drunken voices at 3 and 4am in the morning as they walk home through sleeping Housing Estates, with NO regard for other people.

THEY are also the ones who throw their empty beer bottles, cans and take-way wrappers over other people's garden fences, and the ones who piss up against the gable walls of other people's houses on their way home from the nightclubs and pubs.

Some of you on here, may try to tell me that you find Bear and Bloor's behaviour 'funny', and if that is what 'floats your boat', fair enough - it is a free country - but do NOT try to convince me that they are NOT bullies, because I have WITNESSED how these two ignorant twats, AND their vacuous molls, Marnie and Chloe, are imposing their antisocial, guttersnipe and aggressive behaviour upon the quieter, more decent and thoughtful members of the house, and I RECOGNISE how that is impairing the quality of their time in the house, stifling their rights to enjoy themselves, and intimidating them, and I CALL that BULLYING.

Tbf the edit argument is pretty weak as we are only shown what we are shown, so while this MAY mean the others are entertaining but not shown, it may also mean they arent shown as they do **** all. Without any live feed to judge or anything, we have nothing to go on but the edited snippets we are shown

bear is nothing but a jack the lad type of chav who acts like a child when things backfire on him, like the whole throw the cup at the window and threating to smash up the diary room,

I don't mind Bear that much, Lewis is just the worst HM in there followed by Marnie
