i say this as a man there attitude towards the girls is disgusting they make them sit on the floor then throw lots of vile abuse at them. Arron clearly idolizes Conor and copies everything he does so to me he's just a brain dead sheep but Conor is a real nasty piece of work theres no excuse for the things he says and does he's just a nasty bully that gets a kick out of picking on women i can only hope no woman goes near him when he gets out .

I actually dont agree with Conor being blamed for Arron's actions. He is his own person and if he chooses to follow a person such as Conor is says a lot more about him!

Of course they are not, they likely wouldn't act like that outside the house, Deana and Becky are hardly representatives of decent female behaviour for godness sake.

Arron certainly is not an embarrassment to me and I doubt to lots of other guys too, so to all men is a likely massive exaggeration.

I just had to come out of another thread before I exploded as I saw comments about admiring these cretins and how they should be role models. Just the absolute worst thing to say to someone who has suffered verbal and physical abuse in a relationship which is known on the forum cos I have spoken about it openly in several occasions. Argh!!!!

If it makes you feel better I think the people are trolling to get a reaction from certain members, which is pathetic imo.

I feel the same, my dad used to hit my mum and it's really sickening some people find it humorous to crack jokes about such a serious subject. Stay strong.

Conor is one nasty piece of work. He has shown clearly what type of 'man' he is by the vile behaviour towards the girls. Arron has let himself down big time too and shown himself to be a gutless little boy by copying Conor. Such a shame - I had high hopes for him.

Conor is more of a worry really, I think he's definitely got anger issues and could explode on anybody at the drop of a hat. He needs to lay down on a big couch and tell the psychiatrist about his mother.

Are you being serious right now? what we are seeing in the house is just light arguments really.. hasn't been heated like the arguments in BB5, Conor just ignored Deana today on the highlight show when she was arguing back to him.. i doubt he has ever even thought of laying a hand on her or Becky it's just people on here trying to make their least favourite housemates by stupidly comparing it with Domestic violence.. they have been out of order sometimes the same way if a woman can argue with another woman and be out of order.. this has nothing in common with domestic violence at all

Are you kidding, he blows up anytime something doesn't go his own way. Every time you hear him speak it's full of ill will or violence towards somebody. The geezer is an out and out tosspot and I wouldn't be surprised if a load of stories come out in the papers about him before long. And you can say it's just talk but look at his eyes and how aggressive he is in his speech. He's a bully.

must of the time when he does " Blow up " as you say.. he soon forgets about whatever happens like with nomination discussion Scott and Deana had which Big Brother removed the football table for.. he didn't really go mad about that he soon forgot about it.. and you can speculate all you want about stories coming out about him but until they have actually came out then you can't guess whether he's been involved in domestic violence or anything like that.. to me he just gets a bit heated sometimes during arguments nothing more and nothing less

Just a week ago Conor was threatening (whether he really meant it or not) to punch Deana in the face along with other disgusting sexual threats. That was enough for me to intensely dislike him as a father of 2 girls. I just see him as an uncouth, big headed, insensitive ignorant asshole who has no respect for women and even less for himself.

Dear God :bored:
Novo.... Where exactly have I said that Conor or Arron best up women. I haven't.

I just asked for you to have a little think and not make a massive joke and mockery of the situation which reminds someone like myself of issues and is a sensitive topic. Plus I asked you politely and you came back with a silly comment about how much you admire them and they should be role models.

It's clear you know nothing about DV. Domestic violence doesn't have to be physical.

It starts out very minor, controlling behaviour, putdowns, slowly robbing you of your confidence. The aim is for them to get you completely dependent on them. Once they get you to that stage, it escalates. I will be happy to discuss the subject with you as you and I gave never got on and I can befriend anyone normally, so I don't think its me.

Novo
06-07-2012, 01:14 AM
I don't really see how that links in with the Conor and Arron situation though if anything close to domestic violence was going on in the house then they would have been kicked out by now and nothing i have seen really has anything to do with domestic violence other then the threat Conor made which he later thought about and regretted saying it.. i just find it really silly that people are comparing them in this way.. he belittles Adam the same way he does with Deana so i don't think he targets Women either

Nobody said either of them did, both *Kate* and I simply pointed out how their treatment of women is reminiscent of how we have witnessed the beginnings of domestic violence, you twisted our words and here we are.

Ok. I'll explain a bit more/ better if I may?

To repeat, I'm not saying that domestic violence is going on in the house. Bullying yes, but that's a separate issue. What I'm saying, Novo, is that the way Conor and Arron speak to and about other housemates reminds me of how DV starts and I find it uncomfortable to watch. I know you are entitled as everyone else to post your opinions and am not looking to argue with you at all, but please just consider that just because you may not understand where I'm coming from, you having never had any experience of DV I hope?, I don't take the subject lightly.

So when I asked for people, and I didn't specifically aim it just at yourself, for it not to be made a joke of, it was very offputting to have you make even more of a joke about it. I left the thread because I didn't want to fall out .... Again lol.

I experienced being sworn at, controlled and called names for a couple of years before it began to escalate. It's a very slow gradual process and you get worn down.

You get to the point where you believe all the stuff they say to you and that everything is your fault.

Anyway, I've said all I can. I hope you can see my point? I don't know how well I've explained it. It's a tricky subject.

Novo
06-07-2012, 01:51 AM

Well then you're wrong. I don't know either of them to even say that but the way they treated Deana and Becky today reminded me of how my Dad used to treat my Mum, belittling and demeaning her so naturally I found it uncomfortable to view so when I saw certain people condoning their behaviour I at first ignored it but you followed Kate and rebuffed our accounts as stupid in short because you've not been through anything similar.

I have no idea if this is what you want though , to create a dramatic reaction to entertain yourself no matter how others feel.

Amy Jade
06-07-2012, 01:59 AM

I have no idea if this is what you want though , to create a dramatic reaction to entertain yourself no matter how others feel.in my life experience ive heard women put down men far more than the other way around....abusive the mans credit cards, making false allegations, having affairs, denying him rights to access for his children, 1 mate was lied to for 4 years about him being the childs biological father, he paid for 4 years whilst she acoided blood tests, the truth caught up with her, the father had built a 4 year relationship and was heartbroken, she had also defrauded him for 4 years income too

any man can have his entire life destroyed at any time by any woman expecially those closest to them. try being a man, its much harder than being a woman in the uk

Signs of an abusive relationship: (http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects .htm)
To determine whether your relationship is abusive, answer the questions below. The more “yes” answers, the more likely it is that you’re in an abusive relationship.

Your Inner Thoughts and Feelings
Do you:
feel afraid of your partner much of the time?
avoid certain topics out of fear of angering your partner?
feel that you can’t do anything right for your partner?
believe that you deserve to be hurt or mistreated?
wonder if you’re the one who is crazy?
feel emotionally numb or helpless?

Your Partner’s Belittling Behavior
Does your partner:
humiliate or yell at you?
criticize you and put you down?
treat you so badly that you’re embarrassed for your friends or family to see?
ignore or put down your opinions or accomplishments?
blame you for their own abusive behavior?
see you as property or a sex object, rather than as a person?

Your Partner’s Violent Behavior or Threats
have a bad and unpredictable temper?
hurt you, or threaten to hurt or kill you?
threaten to take your children away or harm them?
threaten to commit suicide if you leave?
force you to have sex?
destroy your belongings?

Your Partner’s Controlling Behavior
Does your partner:
act excessively jealous and possessive?
control where you go or what you do?
keep you from seeing your friends or family?
limit your access to money, the phone, or the car?
constantly check up on you?



Off the top of my head, I can see 10 yes answers in terms of how Conor (and to a lesser extent, Arron) interact with Deana. It doesn't take 10 yeses for a counselor to suggest a woman attempt to leave a relationship.

Just because this behavior is happening in front of a TV camera does not make it ok. Just because it's being done by people competing to win a big check does not justify it.
Just because you think it's cute or funny does not make it safe or harmless.

Absolutely right! I spent 10 years with a guy whose behaviour escalated out of control to the point I woke up one night to find a knife to my throat and only by the grace of god am I still here. That was my tipping point and I left the same day with my kids when he was out of the house. He went from a charming guy to a monster as soon as his ring was on my finger, and it escalated from snide, nasty, derogatory comments and put downs to physical violence. We all walked on eggshells for fear of angering him. His silent rages were terrifying. He would not allow me to see my friends and family without threatening to beat them up, and in those days domestic violence was not taken seriously so I was isolated and friendless. That's what bullies do - isolate to intimidate. It took me years to rebuild my confidence and self esteem, and my kids needed all my love and attention so I remained single for a long time for fear of inflicting another aggressive bully on them.

Bullies and wife beaters always blame their partners "she provoked me", "she pushed my buttons" blah blah, it's called deflecting the blame for their own vile behaviour and total lack of self awareness and self control. They are not men, just cowardly, pathetic excuses for men.

Absolutely right, hallelujah.

It is incredible to me that all faults that occur from some are highlighted and blown up out of all proportion,while the nasty vindictiveness of say Deana and others get glossed over.
Deana has tried to stab Arron in the back and ruin his chances,behind his back too on the show since week one.

The moaning at the girls sitting on the floor, I would have offered them the seat myself, I don't see why that always has to be the case though.
We have bully accusations, they apparantly seem like likely domestic violent candidates, Deana said Arron had no brain in the diary room, that's okay to say that though,were it him saying that about her then the massive condemnation would set in again, the only thing we haven't had yet is that Arron and Conor have likely murdered someone.( or maybe we have).

A gross overreaction on my view and sadly once certain negative descriptions as to like bully and domestic violence abuse are made, some people take that on board as if that is what is happening so use it to hammer a housemate they dislike totally.

My guess would be, love or hate Conor and Arron that in reality in the outside world both would totally abhor and 100% denounce domestic violence against men or women as I most certainly do.
I would not have used such a term in the same sentence as talking about Arron and Conor though,I can see not a scrap of evidence to even indicate it's possibilty as to them either.

I agree, it seems it is only wrong and something to get at if men don't give up ther seats,

I am all for equality but mutual respect needs to be there too, these people the 2 guys and the 2 gilrs detest each other.
I pointed out somewhere on here, that I offered my seat to a woman standing on a bus I was on and got,''I am capable of standing''. really polite that was I am sure.

I have seen people get on the bus who are really elderly and women still sitting never moving from the seat to offer it up.

The odd things is also, no one critices the maltesers advert where 2 guys are sleeping on the sofa and the 2 women are sitting on the floor,
that advert is not a world away from preference really, a lot of my female friends rarely sit on the chairs or settee,they prefer to be on the floor.
I generally sprawl out on the floor to watch TV too.It's not that bad a place to be.

My own Mum for instance,loves sitting on the floor, with the dog beside her,it has never been thought or even considered that Becky and Deana likely maybe didn't want to sit close to Arron and Conor and chose to sit there anyway.

I agree, it seems it is only wrong and something to get at if men don't give up ther seats,

I am all for equality but mutual respect needs to be there too, these people the 2 guys and the 2 gilrs detest each other.
I pointed out somewhere on here, that I offered my seat to a woman standing on a bus I was on and got,''I am capable of standing''. really polite that was I am sure.

I have seen people get on the bus who are really elderly and women still sitting never moving from the seat to offer it up.

The odd things is also, no one critices the maltesers advert where 2 guys are sleeping on the sofa and the 2 women are sitting on the floor,
that advert is not a world away from preference really, a lot of my female friends rarely sit on the chairs or settee,they prefer to be on the floor.
I generally sprawl out on the floor to watch TV too.It's not that bad a place to be.

My own Mum for instance,loves sitting on the floor, with the dog beside her,it has never been thought or even considered that Becky and Deana likely maybe didn't want to sit close to Arron and Conor and chose to sit there anyway.

Detest each other...why's that then?
As deana said she has never had a convo with conor, so why has he built up this massive dislike for her from?
Arron does change and is polite and chatty to both women when conor isn't around.
He is the instigator of most of the aggression and animosity in the house imo.

As Deana said that you point out rightly, she has never had a conversation with Conor, yet when asked by the public who she would evict on friday she answered Conor,???

So she is making her judgements of Conor on what she has seen him do and heard rather than learned for herself, just the same as he has done as to her too, hence the reason they likely detest each other.

Of course she would say conor, if I were a HM and someone suggested they would punch me and shove a brush up my lady garden I would probably want them out too....

People on here claim she doesn't know that he said that though.
Anyway, I was totally surprised she didn't say Arron and I actually applaud her for that.

Edit

Step away from your computers and you idealistic ideas and opinions on people which are always not true.

Arron and conor are just messing around, and you people look far to deep into situations. Seriously Get a ****ing life.

You understand the concept of this being a BB forum, right?

I agree OP, and all I keep hearing about off people is that if this is the new generation of men then im worried about the future, sadly not all of us are like that but it's just vocal twats like Conor that gives young guys a bad name.

Domestic violence isnt only physical, don't miss the main point. Emotional and mental abuse can be worst than a punch in the face.

Forget the sitting on the floor bit. It was the imbecilic behaviour of the two little boys that will mean one of them (pity it isn't both) will get the bullet tonight, me hopes.

I've got to be honest but only if I liked the person would I give up a seat for them.:joker:

But I wouldn't make a womans life a living hell, or anyones for that matter.

I wouldn't expect any man to give up their seat for me (although the offer would be nice) so I don't think that is a problem and IMO its pretty sexist for people to say that guys should give up their seat for a woman (we are equals after all) - they are all able bodied and young so as far as I am concerned it would be first come first served on the chair - it would be different if someone was injured / heavily pregnant etc etc but not in these circumstances

AFTER he said she was fake. I would say him too if he'd behaved to me the way he has with her, he's been constantly on her case yet he's never actually had a proper conversation with her.

I don't think they should have to give up automatically their seat because they are men, it's not like Deana and Becky are old and decrepit or anything.

Absolutely right! I spent 10 years with a guy whose behaviour escalated out of control to the point I woke up one night to find a knife to my throat and only by the grace of god am I still here. That was my tipping point and I left the same day with my kids when he was out of the house. He went from a charming guy to a monster as soon as his ring was on my finger, and it escalated from snide, nasty, derogatory comments and put downs to physical violence. We all walked on eggshells for fear of angering him. His silent rages were terrifying. He would not allow me to see my friends and family without threatening to beat them up, and in those days domestic violence was not taken seriously so I was isolated and friendless. That's what bullies do - isolate to intimidate. It took me years to rebuild my confidence and self esteem, and my kids needed all my love and attention so I remained single for a long time for fear of inflicting another aggressive bully on them.

Bullies and wife beaters always blame their partners "she provoked me", "she pushed my buttons" blah blah, it's called deflecting the blame for their own vile behaviour and total lack of self awareness and self control. They are not men, just cowardly, pathetic excuses for men.

I know it's next to impossible for someone who has had no real dealings with this type of situation in their lives to understand where we are coming from on this topic, so I don't want to be at odds with anyone on the issue, it's good that it can be discussed and awareness raised.

I appreciate that much as Novo disagrees with me on this and thinks I am taking it too seriously (which I again don't want to criticise because I don't expect him to know how much the whole thing has affected my life, tbf) he did come into this thread and listened, which surprised me, and acknowledged that he didn't understand so fair play there.

In response to you Angus, I identify completely with what you say above, and your description of how it is to live with DV. Domestic Violence is to some extent a misnomer (misleadingly named) as it covers everything from verbal abuse, confidence destroying, mind games, and more.

I went through the entire range, stage by stage, from my early to my late twenties, and really feel I lost a huge part of my life (maybe why I still act like I'm in that age range sometimes, rather than 40 something, cough, ahem :laugh:)

Started out with the little criticisms and put downs. When we went round to his parents house he used to sit in the armchair and I had to sit on the floor, which is a big part of why the BB Footage triggered my reactions last night.

Moved on to isolating me slowly from my friends, and even trying to undermine my relationship with my family, they want you completely dependent on them and so you won't challenge what is happening. Very often alcoholism is a huge factor, was in my case, he had to drink all the time, and I lived on my nerves never knowing when he was going to flip.

5 years down the line and here are some examples of things he did.

Would make breakfast and I'd sit at the table, he would then throw mine on the floor, or put salt all over it to make it uneatable, and sit there eating his, smiling.

Once I came in from having spent an hour with a friend chatting over a coffee to find he had rigged up a noose in the living room and said he was going to kill himself because I made his life such a misery, and I would have to live with that.

Towards the end, before I found the strength to leave, he started to bring a knife to bed and would say, that's for if you get on my nerves.

When I was pregnant with my son Josh (I was now 27 years old) he smashed a glass and went for my face, fortunately I put my hands up in reflex, and he was drunk so missed but still cut my hand very badly, I had to have plastic surgery on my left hand, my third finger is scarred, I had to have skin grafted from the inside of my palm to cover the gash.

Those are a few of the lovely things he did, and as he said, it was all my fault for making his life hell, I pushed him to it :bored:

I've been open about the fact I have suffered DV on the forum, but never given any detailed descriptions, so it's a bit draining to do so here. I just want to try and put across how horrific it is, and it does in fact start with the type of behaviour currently happening in the house.

To reiterate, for the people who think Arron and Conor are just acting up, well yes they may well be. I am not and never was implying that they are, or are likely to become abusers, just that what is going on reminds me strongly of things and is uncomfortable to watch.

I do think their behaviour is abhorrent and they are not very nice people, but that is just my opinion and others feel differently, I accept that. It's very telling though, that the vast majority of people are indeed disgusted by said actions.

I'll leave it there.

That must have been horrible *Kate*.

I have got to say why would he enter a relationship with you if he just wanted to abuse you though? although I don't think I can ever understand the logic of psychopaths but there you go.

*Kate* , I am quite new on here and thankfully never had to suffer what you have been through and TBH I am one of the people who feel that the Conor/Arron/Deana thing has been blown out of all proportion on here and that Conor whilst not particularly nice was just showing off BUT now having read your post I can now see from your point of view why the things they have been doing would flag to you as early warnings as you have lived through hell....

It must be tough reliving it on here but raising awareness about things like this always helps people understand more so I applaud you for that sincerely

Can I just say as some one who has experienced domestic violence at first hand too ,I don't think we should brand Conor as anything other than a guy on a game show, if you start seeing traits in people on TV that remind you of a person that hurt you emotionally or physically it doesn't mean that person is the same, the perception is yours and if you are focused on seeing those traits before they manifest themselves into the physical , you will perhaps see them where they are not.

Kate and Angus,
You are 2 very couragious women, I applaud you for being strong enough to leave the situation as many women do not and many are killed by their partners. It is not easy to stand up and speak about that, but I hope that it serves to help anyone in that situation. Thanks for sharing that very personal part of your lives. You did the right thing for your children I hope they are grown and beautiful good people.
