I find him extremely repetitive, boring, and a hateable and disgusting personality with the way he taunts others and uses women.

Taken me a while to admit it to myself lol.

I still don't like the rest of his group - they can all bugger off.

Am I alone...

No there's Vanessa as well as you. I haven't changed my opinion of him, except maybe to dislike him more than I did when he went in.
He's a psychopath. The characteristics are all there and while some psychopaths can be utterly charming, bear is not one of them. There is nothing funny or charming about anyone who behaves in such a boringly, repetitive, childish way.

He's cheeky and I like that

No - hated the little prick on day one, hate him now, no change!

[the truth]

bore off bully bear

[kirklancaster]

Yep. I HATED him at the start, and now I HATE him twice as much.

[Livia]

Hating him when he started and liking him now isn't going full circle. It's going half-circle. 180 deg as opposed to 360. Just sayin'...

And no, I dislike him as much now as I did at the start.

I'm feeling particularly picky today, you'll have to excuse me.

[hot2go]

I think that's why it's good that CBB is longer this time....allows time to see more sides, not just to Bear but all of them.
I've liked Bear all along but I know why others don't...Heavy irritates me but I've also got an improved opinion of him compared to couple weeks ago....takes time to see a fuller picture...he still annoys me but I recognise the poor me label as somethings given to him by fans and not himself.

[puzzled]

He was a nasty, annoying jerk; he is a nasty, annoying jerk, and he will probably always be a nasty, annoying jerk.

Come down off that fence Puzzled. But you are soooooooo right of course.

[Morgan.]

I started hate. About a week ago I liked him. Now I hate him again.

[Razor]

No. I've thought he was a cock from the start and that hasn't changed at all.

Yes you are as far as i'm concerned - he should have been ejected.

You know sometimes i the impression that you're not the biggest fan of Bear.

I think if they parachuted him into Syria in the middle of an ISIS stronghold, within ONE fecking month they would ALL surrender.

p.s. With that 'rabbit' patter, he would not only talk them out of beheading him or any other violence, but actually convince them to watch tapes of CBB 18 and hail him the fecking winner.

[Vicky.]

I came the full circle by about day 5. He was on track to be my least fave ever from his entrance, came across a right twat. Day 4 or so I started warming to him. Now he is my fave (or joint fave with Renee) though I don't think he is a particularly nice person or anything, I would hate to live with him myself...but I don't base BB on who I personally would get along with tbh

He just omitted the fact that he has been goading him into doing the very things that make the other HM's hate him . Very honest indeed !

Yes, exactly. This comment to me was more about highlighting that everyone dislikes him, and to make him feel more insecure, in my opinion. He knows all too well how to undermine someone's confidence, and I felt this was rubbing his nose in it.

[power2thepeople]

I've gone from wanting him off the tv to wishing him on others. He needs a challenge. Maybe an apprenticeship on Ross Kemp On Gangs and he gets his own catchphrase in tricky situations: "Ruthless!!"

[BeloTheBelt]

Hated his entry to the house.
Warmed to him for the few early days.
Now I would welcome someone smothering him with a pillow.
