I found it interesting that Bear has been antagonising since day one and it's only now that Heavy D has started to copy with the throwing around and wasting of food that BB has decided to step in, i mean they put on a video of Bear wasting tomato soup and tinned tomatoes to a silly cheeky chappy tune on the Channel 5 page......curious........

Biased and designed to save Lewis

Goading is what BB do constantly...what do they call showing noms to the house ? It's the nature of the show and always has been.

I know that a lot of people on TIBB dislike him and will say that BB was right on what they did, but overall I agree with you.

BB is suppose to be a social experiment, wind up merchants are apart of social groups so why is this a warranting a warning?

Imo what he did out in the Garden was worse.

[power2thepeople]

Maybe it's other issues other than goading. Regardless of what constitutes a celebrity these days in BB, a trail of oily liquid across the garden is a health and safety issue. Who stumps up for any compensation if someone slips and is injured? There was enough justified uproar when Aubrey spat in food which was a health and safety issue. Same thing and it fully deserved warnings.

they still have a duty of care and I guess even the producers were thinking that if they were in there with him, they would kill him, so they better stop it before one of the HM's did just that!

[chuff me dizzy]

I thought the same thing last night Thrice ........Do they want an house full of Rickys,Katie,Renees,Aubreys,Sams ?

Theres only 1 sink fgs

lmao goading and antagonising isn't 'just a part of life' and if it is for some people then I feel for them.

It has ALWAYS been against the rules, at least since 'Fight Night' when Emma and Co were goading Jason/Victor

The thing with goading is, you are trying to get someone to go crazy, and do something, BB dont want that

Plus the way Stephen does it, would, in any other situation, get him killed, or at the very least, badly wounded. He is only prepared to do it cause he knows they cant kill him, as they are in there. Id love to see him do that in my local pub

Theyd never find the body!

I'm sure he would be laughed out of most locals, with his tail between his legs. Most people would find his immature behaviour pathetic. And if he goaded in the way he has done in the house, he would definitely get a reaction he didn't want!

I'm wondering how Stephen's going to cope with reality, when he gets back to it? He's in paradise at the moment, like one of those guys you hear about who fall in love with war, in Vietnam or wherever. Regular day-to-day is going to seem like a drag, after these glorious times of getting wrecked every night, and having a, literally, captive audience for his japes. Surely the smart cash has to be on a Gazza-type orgy of self-destruction?

Spot on, Shaun!

I think people are wanting some sort of balance in what we watch, rather than everything being focused an one person and one form of behaviour, which for some just isn't entertaining. A little variety would be good, as would the opportunity to see something less contrived and naturally comical.

The other housemates might be shown drinking tea, washing up or discussing gardening, and I agree that is boring. However, that is clearly an editing choice, as common sense would tell us that this is not all they are doing- sometimes that is evident on the live feed, even though the cameras there seem to be focused very much on the same housemates as the main show.

Unfortunately, the producers are editing the programme to make it appear that way due to their decision to make Bear their 'star' this series. Therefore, it suits their purpose to present the other housemates as boring.

Good post.

[Livia]

Watching someone being a pr1ck is not entertaining. Well... not to me. Apparently some people find it hilarious.

[puzzled]

Maybe the producers have realised that a lot of us find the Bear show to be boring. Bear is a one-trick pony. I wonder how many people voted in the last eviction.

[south12345]

For the show to be entertaining it has to have a little bit of everything, not a constant barrage of the same behaviour over and over again which makes it very boring and difficult to watch.

[waterhog]

I totally agree - it was bit like when deadwood were in - it focussed on them so much it got boring.

variety is the spice of life.
