..yeah I have to say that I'm with him on refusing that one../the eating repulsive stuff tasks in general are something, which are a cop-out and copy cat of IAC and something which I hate to see as a part of BB....

He is a undoubtedly a nice guy, and I respect him for that, but he hasn't done enough to win in my opinion, and although I have some understanding of his refusal to do the first task, there was no need for him to refuse to even attempt the second task. That I find frustrating.

However, although I would agree that he is not deserving of winning, I cannot understand why this needs to be expressed with such hatred.

I used to like him but now I am drawn to disliking him quite badly. He is either labouring under the illusion that he is so popular he doesent need to do anything, or maybe he is just a miserable twat with no redeeming qualities and he is beginning to grate on my nerves with the title tattle. Not feeling him anymore

He isn't doing anything. Not even the tasks

..yeah I agree also, Garfie..(following Cherie around..)...I'm not sure about the protest votes and if that's been the reason for voting, it may be, but not something I personally understand/the negative vote to prevent as opposed to the positive because someone is wanted to win...it's funny because in a way, the extreme opposites in character of Bear and Ricky have actually made them quite similar to me in that they've both 'hidden behind masks'...Ricky, I think is so insecure in himself and afraid to be himself in case 'himself' gets criticism and the irony there is that criticism has come through by that fear in itself......with Bear, he masks his gameplan and gameplay and what he's had to do to achieve it/upset people and be awful to them etc... behind the 'cheeky grin of humour'....both entirely different in their methods but both quite similar also in a way...Ricky for me though is the nicer person because he hasn't hurt anyone in his 'mask', so yeah, the level of 'hate' he's had is weird....

Yes, I see what you mean. Both are definitely guarding their true selves in different ways.

Why throw the bloody race card at every chance you get? I and others don't like Ricky because he's a TWAT ...is that ok with you or would you like to add a label to it ?

Wooh hoo! Go Bear! He's back to his old self. If he carries on like this he may even win!

Ricky seems like a decent guy, but he's getting too big for his boots. Tasks are compulsory. No one is exempt

[Paula D]

I was a fan of Rickys but he's lost it now in my opinion. It's one thing being yourself and quite another refusing to take part in the tasks. He has to do some work for his money for gods sake.

We need to keep Bear. The only one who can stop Ricky from winning.

I'm inclined to agree with Ammi that Ricky is also wearing a mask. To me it seems that he feels some tasks are beneath his dignity but it makes me lose respect for him because of his attitude. He could try to join in. He didn't even pick up the drink and smell it.

If even Bear can do the tasks i really don't get what Ricky's problem is. Thy know what they're letting themselves for on the show.

If he had tried a sip and spat it out, it wouldn't have been so bad ,but he didn't ,he was so pissed off about the tweet

Yes exactly. I'd have had a lot more respect for him if he'd picked up and smelled and said I can't than with this sort of holier than thou this is beneath me attitude.

I think topping the vote has gone to his head.

And I agree Bear does do tasks, he might act up in them or deliberately do something he shouldn't but he does join in.

He stuck his quivering bottom lip out like a 2 year old about to throw a tantrum,but he knows he has to keep his anger bottled up so as not to blow the top on the REAL him .....If it is true he had a guru about anger problems ,he's clearly not showing the true him

Bear has ruined several tasks on purpose,so why is it so bad that Ricky didn't do one? but Bear can ruin them and it's a 'laugh' double standards much.

[Babayaro.]

"Oh dear someone pick up Ricky's dummy please"

Reminds me of a few weeks ago when it was in fact Bear's dummy that needed picked up after he told everyone not to speak to him after being eternally nominated.
