Love or hate him, he has carried this years series which is because of the total bores in there. Katie, Sam, Ricky and Aubrey have been total bores and professional radar divers. The final will be so boring now. I hate Bears as a person, but you cant fault his commitment to mayhem, even though its self engineered and obviously scripted for self promotion

When was he ever a frontrunner? He had the shortest odds for like...a day, other than that he's just received the most airtime, but the 'villain' of the series is barely ever considered as a 'frontrunner' tbh.

His odds will shorten now he has survived another eviction.

I never thought he'd last this long, because of the eternal nomination. But he has done so well!

I think in a way it's helped him. He became pretty careless and just thought "**** it I'm gonna just do me" and that's what the public always like to see. Not that he wasn't like that before, but he's really got nothing to lose when he faces eviction every week anyway. I was glad because I wanted to see him survive some evictions and this way he will (hopefully) get past each one.

He survived because of the airtime he is given, the Producers wanted James out, not shown at all this week. Out of sight is out of mind in a vote to save.

You know this & if you think that the edit is fair and the producers don't have an agenda...........

Can't call you out as I'll get banned.

You could argue that Lewis got more airtime than Sam and Ricky and still got evicted. The week Saira was evicted she got a lot of airtime too, especially just before the eviction and that did nothing for her. Airtime definitely adds to the equation, but it's not the main part.

Viacom's cross promotion to the idiots in society, it's apparently working!

Considering that there's now at least one person that's beat him in an eviction left for the final week, I'm pretty sure that that's an indication that he's less likely to win the final if Ricky is still there.

He's still doing well and more likely to win than anyone else, except obviously Ricky who has the Eastenders vote.

He's almost invincible.

I recall some comments about the week he was up against James/Marnie/Chloe and James topped the votes that Bear "couldn't even beat James" and now James has got evicted whilst Bear remains in the house.

I think when it's a straight up vote to win things will change too, there will be less 'anti-Bear votes' as such, because he has his support and the rest of the votes will be split between a bunch of people rather than just one or a couple of other people.

I just want Bear to do well. He has made this series brilliant.

Not really. I'm fairly certain that most people knew he would get far, considering he's apparently the 'star' of the series and has featured heavily in each highlights show. It would be more of a surprise if he doesn't reach the final, or if he was evicted last night.

If he survived two eliminations, whether it's in one night or two separate times, it's still two more times he's been saved, no?

I'm not surprised either, but it would seem that some people are. Also this week he's had everything going against him with the show trying to make him out to be the devil for 'cheating' on angel Lillie.

[Robodog]

He was favourite to win with bookies before Lexie entered.

Now he is 2nd favourite behind Ricky.

[Samm]

Yeah, he's hasn't out done my expectations I always knew he would get this far because of his childish attention seeking behaviour, dunno why his fans are acting like its some record achievement

Well it was two evictions - check your maths.

wow i'm shocked the second favourite to win has done that!?!? truly groundbreaking stuff

Don't think he was ever a frontrunner really. There is a massive anti vote against characters like him..people who do not give a crap about the other housemate in the f2 will vote for them just so Bear doesn't win. You need to be...less marmitey to win a show like this. Helen aside, as I genuinely do not think anyone actually thought she had even a tiny bit of a chance until it was too late for their vote to make a difference xD

I'd get into trouble on here if I delved too much into my reasons as to why Helen won, but I do believe that it was a concentrated vote for Helen to win to stop Ashleigh as I was reading some of the reasons at the time and I definitely have my reasons for thinking that Helen was the anti vote that series.

[alex_front2]

He could do a Perez Hilton in get a shock eviction prior to final, however Bear is definitely a front runner. He will inherit some of Lewis votes (so will Marnie) and even James's.
He gets most air time which often helps in VTS. HE'S got casual viewers backing him, women and teen girls who vote fancy him, and he has a strong social media fandom in a way Sam Fox and Renee doesn't.
