How are they bullying ffs...Renee and Aubrey are simply not paying any attention to his pathetic goading. Bears loving it...it's what he wants. If they are nice he turns on them...if they ignore him he puts on his 5 year old act...he knows what he is doing.
One day and one day soon he will get his comeuppance...

Not one person has been bullied this series tbh and I am sick to death of this word being thrown around with ever damn disagreement that goes on in there.

So you really can't see why Stephen's antics might be considered irritating? Isn't it obvious that he's been trying to piss everyone off since day one? It's one thing to applaud his behaviour, or find it amusing, but it's another to not see it for what it is.

He played you if you believed him about going outside, he even admitted as much at the end of the show - were you not paying attention?

I personally find it pretty difficult to ignore and block someone out completely as though they don't exist. I think it can be controlled as to how much you let things get to you. If you don't rise to the bait you don't need to 'ignore' anyone, but Renee and Aubrey have played into Bear's hands time after time.

Sure, I didn't say otherwise, but they choose how they react to it and regarding that, they couldn't have played it any worse. I think it's hilarious actually.

Fair enough. Although I think the other housemates are handling a bad situation pretty well. Stuck in there with Stephen 24/7, with all the knives lying around, I'd have given serious thought to ending him weeks ago.

Bear should have been thrown out weeks ago.

Aubrey and Renee were ignoring him as a way of coping with his constant goading - it was self-preservation, nothing else.

It was because Renee had been ignoring him that Bear put on his mock-servile act, asking if he could have some food. Renee didn't refuse him food, she just didn't reply. He was the one who made it into a "drama".

...he was never excluded,was he..am I missing something...?...Renee prepared a meal for all of them, including Bear..she just didn't want to speak to him though because that's what he's pushed her to...(and his oh, I'll go sit in the garden then with me bread and water was all his acting our his Bear character anyway..)...obviously, not speaking to him is extremely childish but childish is the house/vein and playground that Bear has created...

[Clootie Dumpling]

Yes, that was my take on it, too, Ammi.
