i-

A character like Bear (and I use the term character by its absolute definition) often gets compared to the likes of other housemates cast to wind up others such as Helen, Marc, Lewis G, Lewis F, Maxwell, etc, but for all of those, they had rivalries where one or more people could set them straight on numerous occasions and leave them raging just as much. I still dislike all of those housemates but the damage they leave is repelled once you see nasty people like them get a taste of their own medicine, which rarely happened to him, which is why I think he's way worse and still my least favorite person to ever be on the show.

He practically always got the abuse hurled back at him, many times worse than whatever it was he was actually doing or saying to that person

And even if you don't count him at all, there's really nothing to salvage from CBB18. Like you said, there were so many unlikable people. It says a lot about how bad a cast is when someone like Heavy D wouldn't even be in my bottom 5 of them . The storylines were equally repetitive and nauseating. With the exception of Saira's intriguing love/hate relationship with everyone, there was Heavy D being a **** for a week, Lewis and Marnie's staged and pretentious relationship, Katie Waissel looking for attention in her last few days, and the rest was the filler from that nasally-voiced serial cheating cretin. Terrible series and a big reason to why the show got axed.

The season was extremely entertaining, dramatic, explosive... in large part thanks to Bear
