not seen the clip, but sometimes trying to front the arsehole is exactly the reaction the arsehole's looking for - and by ricky not coming for him it's clearly winding bear up. personally, i hope ricky does confront him in a cool collected way, but i think bear would just talk over him which is the tactic he employs most the time. ricky telling bear to his face would do his ratings the world of good, but ricky's a thinker and is maybe just waiting for bear to self destruct rather than give him what he's after - a reaction.
