I get the vibes he has a lot more intelligence past the ego act

[lewis111]

Yep 100% and he knows exactly what he’s doing

[Epic.]

Yes he's kind of like an evil Olly Murs

[Rob!]

No, he’s got the IQ of a tea towel.

[Vicky.]

Definitely. I think hes possibly the most intelligent in there.

What show are you watching?

[JoshBB]

He's really inteligent imo, and I don't think he hides it??

[GoldHeart]

I don't think he is but then again he obviously acts more stupid .

I wouldn't exactly say he's clever though

[Marsh.]

I think he plays more dumb than he is. But don't think he's particularly smart.

I think the thick act he seems to put on is part of his gameplan. Intelligent people, on a show like BB, should not let on that they are intelligent. For some reason the audience seem to love thick people. Plus everyone thinking you are thick makes manipulation so much easier.

[armand.kay]

If this is an act them give he man an Oscar

[pontyboi]

Ive voted yes because in this game is a smart cookie

[smudgie]

He is certainly on the ball, playing the game well.

He is playing the game so i guess he's not as dumb as he makes out , but i wouldn't call him clever .

[Dolce]

I was surprised to see him playing chess.

...well put it this way...he has to be really, I mean there’s no two ways about that...I would fear for him if he’s as dumb as he looks or lets on...

[Toy Soldier]

Put it this way; did you expect to see him playing chess? Let alone quite clearly beating Cameron effortlessly at chess? He was playing it down saying either of them could still win, but Cameron could see he was out matched.

I'm not saying that being able to play chess necessarily makes someone a genius, but for me it did show that there's a lot more underneath the game face.

[Ammi]

...I’ve played many hours of chess with 6yr olds and they have often beat me effortlessly.....it doesn’t even make him mature, let alone a genius...we know what’s under the game face because he’s told us already...Stephen Bear traits are under the game face which he’s going to adopt for his game...not even original, not even his own game...but someone else’s...tut, tut...he can take his game and his copy cat Bear and check it out of the house...mate...

[Ammi]

...come back when he’s mature enough to be himself and an original...

[LeatherTrumpet]

Playing dem like a fiddle

[bitontheslide]

i don't think he is particularly bright. He may have more about him than the others in there, but thats really not saying a lot.

I agree that he's partially emulating Bear but I still disagree on the chess. It's not the hardest game in the world, but the fact that he has played and knows how to play hints that there's more going on than most would have assumed on launch night. You can't deny that surely, Ammi.

The wisdom of the fool

In a wind storm - the stubborn mighty oak will get blown over

But the supple willow will bend and be fine

The oak is like an ego

The willow is like a fool


Lewis G knows how to play the fool wisely - which is why he can poke and rattle HMs (like Anamelia) and get away with it:

If people challenge or attack him - he won't stand and defend his ego like the stubborn oak, he'll just flap about having fun in the wind like the willow

[Vanessa]

I think he's very observant. And i like him very much.
