Is Dexter getting bullied ?

[Vanessa]

I hate to use that word, but there is no other word to describe what's going on. Housemates hate him for no valid reason. They all nominate him, just because they know the public chose him on week one. They ignore him, talk down to him and are rude to him. Then on today's task he's chosen for every category. :nono:

[Ramsay]

Nah they are just threatened by his immense popularity

[fingers]

Homer would just say Boooooorrriiiing, and he'd be right!

[Marcus.]

he in there way so they need to get rid of him

[Vanessa]

Also it seems to me that Big Brother is doing everything they can to get him out. They're aware of his rising popularity and don't want him to win. This is Aaron all over again. Smear campaign after smear campaign.

[Daffodil]

It's the pack mentality kicking in.

[smeagol]

yeah sort of. they see him as weak as he just smiles and takes it , . so they attack the weakest member in packs they are sheep in wolves clothing .
calling him bitchy is just crazy thats the last thing he is in there.

very dissapointed in gina. now she's saved she has joined the sheep ranks

[Vanessa]

Nah they are just threatened by his immense popularity

I think BB want him out. He's not the chosen winner. That's Sophie. This task is designed to ridicule and humiliate Dexter. It reminds me of Aaron. BB did everything they could to stop him winning.

[Vanessa]

He has done nothing wrong in there, yet the housemates and the show itself are against him. :nono:

[smeagol]

after that task dex should of said i think i have experienced racisim lol

[Vanessa]

I really hope the public can see that Dexter he's being targeted unfairly. What the hell has he done to deserve all this ? :nono:

Its his own Fault
he is a Snake

I disagree. Showing all of this stuff always makes the person look better and the people being harsh to him look bad. BOTS hasn't even turned on Dexter. They have been neutral with him (as has the audience).

[Sophster]

He just wants friends, but he is a bit socially awkward so can't really make them.
People need a victim to pick on, so they don't have to reveal who they really dislike. They are picking on Dexter so they don't have to pick on their friends.
Scapegoating.

[Roy Mars III]

yea, this is the best thing for him to go farther

[Vanessa]

It's not fair. He has done noting to deserve all this. I really hope the public can see it.

[the truth]

could be tight tonight, if he survives he may go all the way as he is the most interesting

[Vanessa]

It's all very suspicious. I think the show is trying to get him out.

[pcro]

And their motivation for that would be what?

[Vanessa]

And their motivation for that would be what?

His rising popularity. he's not the chosen one, Sophie is.

[Vicky.]

I hate the word bullied when it comes to BB..but I would say he appears to be getting targetted unfairly.

I say appears because from what WE have seen, he is not this horrible snakey person who just hovers around people then stirs it up later, like the housemates make out. However there is always the possibility that BB is editing all this nasty stuff that he does out, but I highly doubt it.

[Ramsay]

To be honest though, if anything they would be trying to keep him in. He's one of the major talking points. After losing Sallie they wouldnt want to risk losing another one

I hate it too, but i think sadly it'a exactly what's going on. I just hope Dexter stays strong and he doesn't break. There's only so much you can take. :(

[Indy]

I don't think it's gone that far (yet). I do think many of them are going to be crawling under the cushions when they get out and see how they've behaved, both in how they've caved to Wolfy's pressure and in how they've jumped on the bandwagon with no firsthand knowledge of the things they're talking about.

A few of them are very close to that line - Wolfy with her constant interrupting conversations where he's involved as if he's not there is the biggest offender, and the twins are her little henchmen, suggesting they get everyone except Dexter out of quarantine - but most of them are too stupid to initiate actual offensive actions against him.

[Vanessa]

But they did everything they could to get Aaron out. This is a similar situation.

[pcro]

I would like to see him survive but not sure he can. He'll almost certainly be nominated again next week becasue its an easy pick for the rest of the housemates. If he's up against someone who divdes the audience like Wolfy or Dan, MAYBE he can get by. But it'll be tough I think.

[Ramsay]

About mid way to the end though..i doubt they would be trying this early to get anyone out

[Vanessa]

This task got me thinking that. BB knows Dexter is hated in the house. :suspect:

[pcro]

If anything Dexter has been shown in a pretty good light on the main show which is really all that matters. The best thing for him is to becme the underdog. Still, its hard to survive if you're nominated week after week.

He needs to keep his head down. We know he's entertaining. He doesn't need to prove anything to us. I want him to stay.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Who cares when they are evicted they will be shown a picture of Dexter and three women with massive tits rolling around in bed full of money

[smeagol]

personally i think they are all racists and that's why. racists to horny hobbits , trolls and orcs never like hobbits lol

On the channel 5 website the comments all say Dexter is getting bullied. I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks it.

[Me. I Am Salman]

What the actual ****

[Vicky.]

Really? I thought he was only liked on the forums..didnt think he would appeal to the general public at all :laugh:

[Vanessa]

comments from the channel 5 website :

Lorna Paradise | 1 hour, 57 minutes ago
talk about ganging up,come on bb sort it out

Saffron Shannon Beauchamp | 1 hour, 49 minutes ago
I realize its a task and they kinda have to but sometimes it borderlines bullying with the amount of ganging up there is on others.... Especially Dexter, the poor guy imagine how it must feel to live with bunch of people who you know hate you. Not good at all.
Report

[Vanessa]

He has a lot of fans. They find him interesting.

[Roy Mars III]

I think Dexter could do a Rex*

in terms of how he does in the house, not necessarily personality. Dexter is good and all but no were near the GOAT Rex yet

He's a cross between Rex and Aaron! :hugesmile:

[Calderyon]

If they really wanted Dexter out, only thing they have to do is: fabricate a punishment reason to put two crowd favourites ie: Twins, Sophie, Sam or Wolfy up for evcition. Then have the housemates nominate. Dexter and Gina would go up.

Make it a double eviction. It would probably mean that at least one of Dexter and Gina would go. Maybe both.

That is if they really do want Dexter out, even risking Gina to leave...

It's jut this task. It smells of set up to me.

[Im_Juz_ChiLLin]

Dexter is being Bullied no doubt, every single task he is being picked on as somehow the most bitchy? i think these housemates need a reality check because the only thing i seen on highlights show is Dexter being entertaining not bitchy.

[Vanessa]

I never thought this, until this task. Everyone is feeling sorry for him on Digital Spy. Even those who don't like him. :bawling:

[Me. I Am Salman]

They're not the only ones in need of a reality check. These threads are so frustrating

[Vanessa]

It's the truth and it's all over Digital Spy and the channel 5 website. Everyone i starting to notice Dexter is getting bullied in there.

[GypsyGoth]

It's good for him.

[Vanessa]

It's good for him.

Yes, but at what cost ? There's only so much you can take. :(

The twins and Wolfy aren't really fan favorites anymore. BotS finally let people mention the twins being annoying last night, but they're still not discussing Wolfy at all, and she's dropped off the top 5 to win in the odds. In Dexter vs Wolfy, with the way she's been going, she'd probably be out.

[Vanessa]

Dexter is getting bullied and it will get worse. Now they all hate him, even Gina. :(

[Me. I Am Salman]

Which means he must have done something wrong
:rolleyes:

[Vanessa]

It's just a vt. They all lie in it, even Saint Gina. :nono:

[Vicky.]

Which means he must have done something wrong
:rolleyes:

I would normally agree with this, but we havent seen ANYTHING..

I mean, even with Aaron in bb12 I could see why the HMs thought the way they did about him..though I loved him

But this time around, I dont see it at all. I dont get why none of this terrible behaviour is not being shown..it must be happening a lot from how much the others go on about it. I know they have to chop 24 hours down to 40 mins, but we would surely have seen something to back up the claims :shrug:

[Me. I Am Salman]

But Gina herself said she felt sorry him.. she wouldn't start hating him if there weren't good reason

[Vanessa]

I know they have to shop 24 hours down to 40 mins, but we would surely have seen something to back up the claims :shrug:

VTs are mostly lies anyway. Look at Aaron's and we still love him. I wish i could go in the House and give Dexter a hug. :(

[Munchkins]

Wait have they shown his VT?
if so, how disgraceful.. why not show Callum's I TAKE MY TOP OFF AND 300 WOMEN CROWD AROUND ME, yet he acts so timid?

I'm still waiting for a single example of it - they go on about what they've heard from other people. Not a single one of them can give an actual example of him repeating something they've said to someone else, or of him telling them something he overheard in another group.

[GypsyGoth]

On the live feed it showed Jackie, Wolfy & Gina looking at the VTs of the other housemates, it's because they won a quiz or something.

Yeah, the only 'examples' I have heard is someone muttering 'well a close friend of mine said it and they wouldnt lie' or something similar a few days back

[Roy Mars III]

usually to be a snake or a **** stirrer you have to be actually liked by someone

[Vanessa]

Bunch of spinelss cowards the lot of them. Come on! Let's show Dexter some love. He has to stay and be cheered tonight. :mad:

[Munchkins]

Hmm if they showed everyones then i can't complain..

[Gillian-73]

If Dexter was really behaving as the hms say he does, bb would show it, I've no doubt about that! The treatment he gets is dispicable. All jumped on the bandwagon with not a spine between them!

[Vanessa]

It's bullying and i'm sure of it. It's the same treatment i get at work. So i know i'm right.

[Roy Mars III]

how is that funny

Housemates are a disgrace this year. Bunch of lying bully scumbgs. :nono:

I kinda like Dexter but no way is he being bullied. Anything that is said or done is of his own doing. He was coming on to Hazel showing he has no respect for his girlfriend and when Hazel wasnt interested he started talking to Jemima about older women and experiencing tantric sex!!!!! Bullying is when someone or people gang up on someone who is defenseless and wrongly accuse them or goad them about something. This is NOT what is happening. The bullying word is introduced much too often in these forums. This is just my humble opinion and as I said I kinda like Dexter cos he is entertaining. He would be no way near my least favourite housemates

That all changed with today's task. They did it to humiliate and undermine Dexter. Big Brother must be really worried by his popularity. They're doing everything they can to make the public hate him. :suspect:

check out todays task and tell me he isn't being bullied....

In order to shake things up a bit, Big Brother set the housemates a task this afternoon that asked them to reveal their true opinions of each other. In all honesty, we expected sparks to fly, as they often do when honesty is concerned.

Once the task got underway, it soon became clear that there's one housemate that everyone has an opinion on: the one and only Mr Dexter Koh.

In the course of the task, Dexter was named: a game-player, the one who deserves most to be evicted tonight, a liar, two-faced, the least respected housemate, most selfish and bitchiest. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, he was also named as the least popular housemate.

Throughout the rather dramatic task, Dexter remained chipper, smiling and joking with the other housemates. Ever the profesional.

When Dan pointed the finger at Dexter as the least popular in the House, he also said that he hoped, if Dexter survives tonight's eviction, that he would drop the facade and allow his housemates to get to know him a little better.

Later, chatting to Gina and Wolf, Dexter might have hit on something when he said "the thing is, I can take criticism..." Could it be that the housemates made Dexter a scapegoat to avoid fireworks for naming more, ahem, sensitive people? In Big Brother, anything is possible.

By the end of the task, Gina, Wolf and Jackie had managed to unlock a padlock each, meaning they've earned a treat later, where they will watch a video packed full of their housemates' secrets. How very, very exciting.

[mizzy25]

dexter will just gain more support from the public because of this. Now i understand why people prefered vote to save, but im 95% sure jemima will go tonight anyway

[Vanessa]

[rionablue]

I totally want Dexter to stay but lets remember he got ten nominations and has ruffled the feathers of quite a few of the housemates. His 'bragging' also about how much money he spends and stuff might make him a little unpopular because if its true or if it isnt nobody likes someone who brags. I agree that he should not have been nominated in every part of todays task and Wolfy would have been my choice but then if they all nominated Wolfy as being the least liked or popular or most annoying etc might ppl be saying that SHE was being bullied. I will reserve further judgement till I see the highlights show but one thing is for certain Dexter is WELL ABLE to stand up for himself and take it on the chin. He knew the two housemates who didnt nominate him as they are the two lads that seem closest to him. I still would be very very slow to use the words that he is being bullied. Lets say targeted maybe

[Kizzy]

He knocks people off, he just tries too hard ...
