I still dislike him. HOWEVER the one area that I have changed my opinion on him is he is actually not stupid which I immediately thought he was. Which is annoying. He's actually putting on a deceptive act of stupidity and ineptitude. He's following the mantra, the art to being powerfully clever is to pretend to be stupid. It conceals how dangerous, sociopathic and what an emotional vampire he is. Bear may not be academically or book intelligent, he may not be able to discuss Nietzsches Ubermensch concept or discuss String Theory but he understands how to get from a to b in the most successful manner and outmaneouvre those who on paper have more going for them.


He's also emotionally highly intelligent IMHO. Which is why he's able to infuriate the like 's of Ricky Sam and make so called strong woman Renee cry. Even favourite Biggins became irate and demo started a not so cuddly side when he lost his rag with Bear. Bear understands people, what makes them tick and how to use information to his advantage. He was able to reel Renee (a woman about 50 and a fearsome Mob wife) in and totally dominate her when he knew she fancied him. He even managed to deliberately annoy Emma Willis!! His calm lack of reaction to Aubrey spit gate was also measured and clever. He never used it against her which EVERYONE else would have done. He's slowly wormed his way into gaining trust from her to the extent she now quite likes him. He wound up Heavy D for the HL show the day before eviction to troll Lewis and Katie and sat back safe in the knowledge it would get heavy D evicted. Bear is manipulative but can turn on charm and could get any one, he seems to be one of those guys who probably could pull a really intelligent PhD student from Cambridge University or a 46 year old business woman despite only being a scaffolder by trade. I can imagine him seeing a woman rejecting him as a challenge and wooing her wearing her down until she agreed to date him.


You don't go from being a pips squeak contestant on Shipwrecked 2011 to being in Celebrity BB 2016, the least famous hm but the most talked about. He knows exactly what he's doing and he's no one's fool.


Grrrrrrr. Its like when I discovered HM that I dismissed as thickos such as previous winner Geordie Shore Scotty T had Grade A* Alevels in Physics Maths and Chemistry and a degree in marine engineering from a top University and bb16 Marq held a degree in chemistry. Grrrrrrrrr.
