He looked all huffy and it took him a while to get off his seat, I know he is not enjoying it in there but a bit of manners wouldn't go amiss, I would hate it if he won

[Josy]

I think he's quite a shy person

[Garfie]

He's coming across as depressed to me. I like him, but I don't think being in there is doing him any good at all in terms of his well-being. There just seems to be no enjoyment in it for him. Something is clearly not right.

You may have a point there, I am surprised how he has been in there, I expected far more from him.

Yes, I expected more from him too. I am not criticising him, as I think he is a thoroughly decent guy with good morals, and I think he could have been an interesting housemate had there not been such a domineering and unpleasant group in the house.

However, I think the situation in there has genuinely brought him down, and he is now merely enduring it so that he gets paid. And so he should get paid, having tolerated the last few weeks.

I just feel sad for him, as it seems to have affected him much more seriously and deeply than it has any of the other housemates. To me, he seems scarred from his experience, and that isn't pleasant to witness.

[chuff me dizzy]

He's the worst one by far in there, even worse than the dirty skank Renee

[kirklancaster]

I think he is a decent person; a normal person, but shy, who is suffering from depression, through being confined in a BB House with such uncivilised, guttersnipes as Bear, Bloor, Marnie and Chloe.

I believe, that like any of us would, he welcomed the fee, and signed up to be a HM, believing that not only would the experience would be a personally enriching one, but also - based upon all previous series - that he could 'handle' any 'wayward' HM's.

Unfortunately, for us, and for decent, moderate, civilised people like Ricky, THIS series has been like no other.

Thanks chiefly to the abhorrent lout Bear, but also the unfathomable choices of the producers, this series has become the absolute nadir of trash television - with the show up to now being 'The Stephen Bear Show' and 'Life With The Louts', and poor Ricky, and the 'others' have been thrust into a nightmare world which is far removed from the 'Reality Entertainment' show which they signed up to.

I personally would rather be entertained by a thousand 'boring' Ricky's than one obnoxious, infantile yob such as Bear.

If he has that much of an effect on you he can't be that bad.

He seems ok but cant be doing with his Mutha ********r language all the time

[Cherie]

Alec was slated for flying under the radar, yet Ricky is feted If he is depressed in real life ( I don't know anything about him so this might be a forum diagnosis) then is a game of mental strength the right place for him? sometimes you might want to put your health before money

Thank you, Kirk, and I appreciate your very kind comment.

I love reading your posts, as they are always so thoughtful and insightful and they also show many of your qualities as a person, which I truly respect. I just know you gave a good heart and good morals. I also love your humour too.

Wow we agree! Bear to win.

Probably this

[Babayaro.]

He probably just couldn't be arsed, that's all. Not everyone has to be full of energy all the time.

He should have thought twice before taking the fee then, it doesn't take much energy to get off the sofa and say hello

That's true but he has no energy any of the time . .. I know people think he's a nice lad but how nice is he when he very rarely backs anyone up ... In fact only time I've seen him jump to someone's defence was Katie.... and that was the one time he shouldn't have bothered cause that silly cow was crying, again, because a ballon burst .. when she cries boys fight and men get thrown out.

Ricky must be a brilliant actor as he's nothing like his former EE character Fatboy . Definitely wasn't playing himself that's for sure.

I personally suspect he used to be but he ****ed up his Eastenders career by making a few mistakes. That's more likely why he's such a different / much more down seeming personality now... Certainly not caused by his experience in the BB house - but potentially not in the right headspace to be going in there in the first place. We've seen this plenty of times in the past with CBB. Celebs who are in a somewhat fragile (or flat) emotional condition going into it and ending up distressed.

Bear and Co I'm sure have made it far worse and perhaps been a catalyst in him being more and more down, but if you look at his career this has been going on for a couple of years. Ridiculous to claim that it's been "caused by" the house.
