Should BB intervene?

[Jake.]

Not even by giving a warning, but having a word with Helen/Pauline? Or do you think that this bully-ish behavior should be tolerated and should be left for the housemates to deal with? Dunno, just finding the whole 'non-woman' and 'slug' comments a bit.. yeah.

[Vicky.]

No I dont think so. BB is meant to be reality TV, and unfortunately this is the ugly side of reality. Jale seems to be handling it ok so far..

They should keep a close eye on it though

[JohnnyBB]

They probally allready spoken to helen but they wont show us it cause shes a finalist.

[MeMyselfAndI]

If you think this is bullying you wouldn't be able to watch BBUS...

[InOne]

They're all adults so just leave them to it. There's been worse stuff than this in BB before.

[armand.kay]

People are acting like jale isn't a grown woman. This is reality tv. There are shows where worse happens. Imo unless it gets physical bb should stay out of it.

[M X]

Yes.

[Me. I Am Salman]

no.

[Samm]

No I dont think so. BB is meant to be reality TV

This, It a Reality TV show not the school playground

[Jake.]

Well then perhaps certain people should stop acting like the classic bitchy school girls

[Niamh.]

Yeah I agree with this. I guess Jale would probably have to make some sort of a complaint and then maybe they'd say something to them? (Unless it gets worse, I suppose)

[Mystic Mock]

Let them behave naturally, it's kind of like me wanting BB to call Jale into the Diary Room to stop play the Pity Me game but they shouldn't really do it because it's how Jale's naturally behaving in the house.

Well no because they'd never do what you wish for.. there's a huge difference

[jet]

I hate BBUS for that reason and stopped watching it long ago. I prefer BBAUS.

[Livia]

I think better than BB intervening, come the end of the week, the result, and the reaction of the crowd, will inevitably show how the public feel. Jale will discover that regardless of being ostracised in the house, she is actually not alone because we can all see what's going on. Well, most of us. Then I reckon that everyone in there will suddenly realise actually, she's not so bad...

[Mystic Mock]

Well no because they'd never do what you wish for.. there's a huge difference

Well as this isn't bullying then neither should Helen and Pauline.

[Samm]

BBAUS.

That's like a Kids show stopped watching that after the first 3 episodes, it has a PG rating lmao

Oh okay so the majority of people are thinking in the wrong direction then.

[smeagol]

its not that bad. its just minor bitching bullying types against not just jale nothing on the scale of the deana bb.
let them get on with it. no need to go crazy.

[joeysteele]

No BB shouldn't intervene,just wait until friday.

Then when Helen sees Pauline thrown out by the public and Jale saved again hopefully that will send her a message and the other Pauline followers too.
Helen without Pauline will be very interesting to see,I think anyway.

[erinp5]

Helen has had 14 warnings!!! nothing works .

[Mystic Mock]

Oh okay so the majority of people are thinking in the wrong direction then.

If the majority of people told you that the Sky was black would you believe them? People are only buying into this because BB wants you to buy into this, and as I said yesterday people on here seem to be so determined to have a woman winner you're willing to take the most fakest and one of the dullest Housemates in there.

[Niamh.]

I don't think Pauline is the driving force behind Helen, i think Helen is loud, rude and always looking for a fight all by herself.

Well you've completely got myself/my motives wrong, but you carry on. You can't call her on being fake either really, you don't know her as a person

I think if it gets any worse, BB do need to intervene. Meanwhile, let's hope the public do the job by getting rid of Pauline and booing Helen which will show them whose side they are on.
I wonder will Helen will secretly be glad if Pauline gets booted because SHE wants to be the the only Queen Bee....

[jet]

Yeah, I suppose for some it is not entertaining if there is no outright bullying going on. *lmao*

[Ellen]

No i dont think BB should intervene. Let the Hm's get on with it & if that includes arguments and name calling so be it. That happens in life.

[reece(:]

No, these incidents are tame in comparison to other reality TV shows.. anyway BB didn't intervene when people were insulting each others appearance last year so they shouldn't this year.

[chuff me dizzy]

Yes,and this is first BB ever when I have said this, you only have to look other places online to see the fans are up in arms about it

[Gusto Brunt]

Helen, Pauline, Toya and now Kim are pathetic specimens, masquerading as human beings with a heart.

Yes, I include Kim in amongst them.

[Gusto Brunt]

And yes, sorry, BB should step in.

[mrflibble]

Although I don't like what is going on, I don't think BB should step in unless it really crosses the line. I'd much rather the 'bullies' get what's coming to them when they get evicted rather than having mummy Big Brother come in to stop it. It might be hard on some of them now, but I think it'll make them stronger in the long run, and make the bullies weaker (or at least have a cry like Steven when they realise not everyone loves them as much as they love themselves).

[Livia]

Lovin' your work so far mrflibble...

[chuff me dizzy]

Helen, Pauline, Toya and now Kim are pathetic specimens, masquerading as human beings with a heart.

:thumbs:

[LukeB]

that box where matthew was stuck in on day 1 should be the jail.

[Northern Monkey]

If Jale could'nt handle it,She would leave.BB should only step in if there is physical violence or hate speech or anything else illegal.It would'nt be reality TV if everyone was forced to play happy families.

[Samm]

Helen, Pauline, Toya and now Kim are pathetic specimens, masquerading as human beings with a heart.

First of all none of them are bullies and Kim hasn't done nothing involved with Bullying AT ALL

AND CAN WE STOP WITH THE ****ING BULLY WORD

I agree and specially about Kim. Where have we seen Kim bully anyone or be bitchy to them?

She hasn't bullied anyone, people are using guilty by association which is just silly.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

A lot could be learned by letting housemates making mistakes.

A lot of good can come out of witnessing repulsive behaviour.

It makes people look at themselves and it brings the subject into the public forum so people can talk about it.

Wether it be bullying or racism it should be played out until the person on the other end themselves feel the need to ask for help.

Its not up to us.

BB weighing in and handing out warnings straight away just stifles it and makes it worse as it gets pent up. It makes housemate hate the person even more and the public complaining is the same as BB interjecting.

If you really want bullying and racism ect stopped you need to let people talk about it and giving out warnings and complaints is not the way to go about it.

[Cherie]

:umm2:intervene why? They undergo pychological tests i assume, they must expect a mental as well as a physical challenge, and if it really gets too much they can walk out the door and spend the summer on BOTS, no unless the threat is physical BB should let it unfold.

[armand.kay]

they know what they're getting themselves into and if they don't like it they can leave. This is big brother did you guys really expect a happy house?

[joeysteele]

Hmm,yes after reading yours and Niamh's posts,I think you are right, it likely won't make a bit of difference to Helen.

[Mystic Mock]

Well you've completely got myself/my motives wrong, but you carry on. You can't call her on being fake either really, you don't know her as a person

Neither do you know her as a person when all she does is play Pity Me.

And of course I've got peoples motives wrong, everyone thinks my opinions are wrong lately all because I don't worship the ground Jale walks on.

[Miranda123]

No, let them hang themselves with their own pitards lol

Cause its brilliant to watch!!!

GET PAULINE OUT!

[Forgetmenot]

Helen has had 14 warnings!!! nothing works .
Did not know that. Was she given any ultimations? What were warnings for? Foul mouth? Of com or what ever have had load complaints. I swear a bit but they are basically limited in the head with little vocabulary

[AnnieK]

If BB intervenes without jale making a compliant it will make her life a whole lot difficult because they will think she has been "telling tales". Let it unfold and the public will decide.
