And the winner is... well... we're not gonna tell ya, you're just going to have to watch the final episode of Britain's Next Bear Model to find out. This is 'Part B' of episode #7 and this is it ~ after 6 weeks and 8 contestants, they reveal the winner. Here at PlanetBears we have given this show extensive coverage ~ check out all the past articles since some of them have photos of the contestants. They've also been covering this excellent British show over at the Bearotic site.

In about a week's time, I will do a small write-up about what I thought of this show. I don't want to write it now because it will reveal the winner. For now, enjoy the show and be surprised to find out who took the title.

It's down to the wire and only 3 contestants are left in 'Britain's Next Bear Model', and those 3 Bears would be Alan, Raff and Steve. We found this out in the latest show - Episode 7 - Part A - and we will find out the grand winner in Part B of Episode 7 which they will be airing this weekend (I believe).

However, I've got an inside tip already... one of them has been knocked out of the race, leaving only 2. Who was cut...? Sadly It was Alan (he was so funny... and raunchy). So now the race is on between Raff and Steve.

Want to see some more fantastic shots of these incredible men? Well then click here. There's 2 sets of photos - one set is the 3 finalists playing around at the office (you see a short clip of that in Episode 7), and there's another set of photos of the 2 finalists together. Lastly, here is an excellent Safe Sex Guide pamphlet which includes photos of the final 3 (it's in .pdf format and it's shy 20mb). Remember, you can download all of the episodes of 'Britain's Next Bear Model' in high resolution over at FunFur.tv.

Well it's down to the final 3 in Britain's Next Bear Model. Here at PlanetBears we've been following this show diligently (articles). Our conclusion so far...? British men are very very hot and extremely sexy, and this show has been produced with utter excellence. It's been tons fun to watch, the contestants have been greats sports, yet all good things must come to an end, and this show is nearly done.

"CyberBears is excited to announce our 40th original full-length title, David Knows Dick (cover - poster)! This one is for all you David de Jesus fans. It's packed with over 2 hours of action, including 14 guys and more than 20 cum shots. We were planning to hold off until later in the month, but the frustrating results of the vote on Prop 8 here in California this week made us feel like doing something positive for the community right now, when we all need it most.

Check out the description: You've seen him around the bars and at bear events; that hot Latin Bear who seems to know everyone by the bulge in their pants. You've even seen him behind the scenes on DVD's and web videos, fluffing some of your favorite porn stars for CyberBears. Watch now as David directs Eddie Bear and X-Ray Danny in a hot suck-and-fuck scene. Next David fluffs super-hung Q-Cub for director Ken Slater, and takes that rod all the way down without gagging once. Then he steps in to heat up the action between Panther Cub and Andy. Then it's on to the next guy, and the next, including Andy, Brian Meister, RedHot Jeff, Chub Cub 78, Indy Cub, Sebastion Ice, Thom Cub, and Alex. In all some 13 hot and horny Bears, plus David".

It's been awhile since I mentioned BTalk (the B signifying Bear)... a podcast show run by 4 really cute guys out in Minnesota. These guys always seem to put a smile on my face (#1 because they are funny witty and #2 because they are hot and make me feel good in my tummy... and down below).

They also have a great website which they update tons, and lately they have been doing their podcast live on UStream, so now you actually get to put a super cute face to their sexy voices. They have just added episode #161. And you know when they say that a guy has a face for radio? Well it's definitely not true for any of the BTalkers; they all have a face for livestreaming. Go check it out yourself and become a Btalkie.

The husky gents from CyberBears have sent us news and previews concerning their newest DVD - 'Bears @ Work' (purchase it here for $59.95 - cover), featuring: Ali, Chet, Dean Ferguson, Eric Bear, Hank, Jake, Jim Stagger, Mark, and Rowdy Bear (directed by Ken Slater and produced by Mike Zillion.

From CyberBears (click here to see some picture previews): "Like your Bears hot and sweaty from a hard day's work? Now you can watch these manly warehouse workers, truckers, and moving men get their share of the action. First Ali and Mark pair off in the stock room, under supervisor Hank's careful gaze. Eric Bear starts to service Hank from boots to crotch, then the four guys get into some hot double-suck, double-rim, and double-fuck action. Dean Ferguson is unloading boxes for Rowdy Bear when he discovers a big dildo. It's not long before Rowdy turns Dean into one of his willing toys. A hot shower ends this action-packed scene.

Then four Bears are fixing up an abandoned house discover a sling. Jake, Jim Staggers, Chet, and Ali go at it until everyone's sticky and spent. You will be, too. A hard day's work deserves a hard night of fun. You're sure to have one after watching this".

If you haven't been following 'Britain's Next Bear Model', then it's about you did because they have now chosen the final 3. They started off with 8 contestants and over the past few weeks it was online votes that chose the finalists.

I gotta tell you that I was surprised with the results. I only picked 1 of the guys right, the other 2 were a complete surprise... looks like a hot and heavy race to the end... (ps - in episode #5 they had to do a photo shoot in their briefs - click here to see some great photos from that shoot).

Here's a blurb they sent in: "Steve and I are proud to introduce some special guests: honey, butterscotch and strawberry. This movie is a gay parade of gold, yellow, and red, with a climax in classic white. I had so much fun making it, you'd think someone was licking my nuts the whole time!".

Here at PlanetBears, we've been following the news on what's been going on with the new series 'Britain's Next Bear Model' - just check out these articles, however the following is a press release from the makers of the show:

"Standby for Action! ManBears and Funfur.tv have launched 'Britain's Next Bear Model'. Anything can happen in the next six weeks, as you decide who's a top in the grizzliest competition ever. See the 8 hairy finalists (photo) as they get to know each other, living, sleeping and playing together in the world’s first Bear reality TV series, facing some hair-raising challenges, some close shaves and… Netty!

To view the first episode please visit Jonathan Robinson's YouTube page. Nothing will go unnoticed nor unpunished as our cameras track their every movement, growl, grope, slurp and snog 24/7. From modeling to pasty eating, from banoffee pie to leather, our Bears will have to play hard in this Grrrrruelling contest, in order to win your votes.

Broadcasting on YouTube, Funfur.tv and EuroWoof, voting commences on October 5th, with an accumulating score for each of our eight finalists. The winner will be announced on November 9th and will receive a big cash prize, with their hairy chest splashed across a magazine cover. Only one will be crowned Britain's Next Bear Model. Let the battle commence!

Gerard Gudgion of ManBears said: 'As far as I know this is a world first for a group like ours to produce and promote a reality series. For the first time I think people are going to be able to see beyond the body shape of Bears and get a real understanding of Bear culture'.

Jonathan Robinson of Funfur.tv said: 'I've worked on big reality TV before such as 'I'm A Celebrity…', but nothing beats this competition for excitement and generating opinion. Seeing the first comments on Youtube shows what diversity the 8 contestants offer!'.

For more information or interviews with any of the contestants please  call 0161 432 4947".

It's episode #3 in 'Britain's Next Bear Model'. This great show is headed by Jonathan Robinson (articles - profile) who has made a ton of Bearish videos in the past few years which you can check out from his YouTube page as well as his site FunFur.tv. In conjunction is EuroWoof and the Manchester Bears ManBears who have also been contributing to this fun show.

Right now we're still getting to know the 8 contestants as they all bunk up in a flat together. There's little romances forming here and there, all the while we're hearing touches of gossip. Remember - these men are there to win and to be the very first Bear Model.

How this works is that you watch the shows and you vote for your favourite contestant. In a few weeks, 3 will be chosen to move on to the finals. It's great fun as these cute Bearish men rival, and some of these guys are superbly cute. Stay tuned (and if you haven't been following, here's an article about episode #1 and an article on episode #2).

Last week we told you about a new show called 'Britain's Next Bear Model' (article) which consists of 8 guys living in the same room as they compete to be UK's newest Bear model.

In episode #1, we got to meet 5 of the 8 contestants, and even though I try to remain as biased as possible, I did slip in that I thought Steve was cute (well, so is Alan... and so is Kris... however Steve definitely wins the Daddy Bear vote). Well in the newest episode (#2), the final 3 competitors have entered, and say hello to Raff (woof) Leopold (double woof) Sean (triple woof). Yes, Sean is now a new favourite of mine... however it's not up to me who is going to win this thing, it's up to you.

You need to head on over to either EuroWoof (you need to register) or even better, just head on over to the FunFur.tv forum (no registration needed) and cast your vote on who you think should first make it to the top 3 to finally down to #1. This is episode 2 out of 7, so keep watching as things begin to heat up now that all the cuteys are together.

There are 8 contestants running to be Britain's Next Bear Model. This is an excellent new show by the collaborative works of Jonathan Robinson of FunFur.tv (website - articles - profile), EuroWoof and Manchester Bears ManBears (website).

8 men are going to be living together to compete for this title. And you can vote online at EuroWoof from the beginning of October up until the beginning of November at which point they will announce the final 3. Just make sure to tune in Jonathan's YouTube channel to keep updated on this one. I already have a favourite, which I'm not going to mention (Steve), altho we only do get to meet 4 and we'll be meeting the next 3 in the upcoming episode so I just might change my mind when I see them all together. In any account, this looks it's going to be one excellent show to watch.

On August 30th, Paul Blouin, owner of the Woof Bar & Bistro (website - articles - profile) held the 'Monsieur Bear Montréal' contest (articles - photos). This was the very 1st Bear contest that this great French Canadian city had ever seen. I (Forrest - profile) was there and I filmed the event as well as livestreamed it - both here on PlanetBears as well as on TubeBear. The livestreaming had a bunch of kinks of it (disconnection, sound issues) so I was glad that I filmed it.

I also kind of convinced my partner and hubby, Roger (galleries - profile) to be a contestant. He was reluctant at first, thought it over, then agreed to do it. He was nervous and anxious the whole week prior to the contest, yet once he got up there, he was a natural.

The video is just under 10 minutes long. Originally it was 16 yet I decided to edit it down, and this way I was able to place it here as well, on my YouTube page - BearGhetti. Hope you enjoy it.

Take a look at what's popular over at the TubeBear's VOD site - our Video on Demand - once that is maintained by PPVNetworks. It's called Chub Strippers #4, their latest in this series. "The Chub Strippers collection was imagined in 1997. The idea was to change the role of the viewer, the spectator, your role, while you watch a video. Instead of being passive, looking at 2 or 3 guys having sex, here you are part of the action. Just like in a peep-show booth or in a room with a private stripper, hot Chubby men and big Bears look at you in the eyes, then they undress, they touch themselves and cum right in front of you and for your eyes only. This is the first ever '2nd person view' video collection, and it is greatly appreciated by the real amateurs of Chubby men for its lively, personal and intimate character".

BearFilms has a new DVD out entitled All Amateur Bears 3 - Furry Fuckers and you can pre-order it now for a nice low price ~ $24.95 (regular price $39.95) and if you're a member of BearFilms, it's even cheaper ~ $19.95. You gotta hurry on this one because this special order lasts only until September 3rd. And join their mailing list to find out about more furry fucking specials.
