Well done Chloe for not laughing or encouraging it

[Headie]

Could clearly see she was uncomfortable with it too.

Really hope she stays and Danny goes. He was laughing his head off and egging it on more so than the others

[Pete.]

Chloe :love: She has shown why she should stay tonight, a classy gal

[Drew.]

Shes surprised me.. she seems alright compared to a lot of them, annoying at times but seems like a nice enough girl.

[bots]

I think Chloe should stay now, nice truly natural girl, i liked her tonight

[Babayaro.]

The ones I didn't see laughing or encouraging it were Kieran, Cristian, Jade, Eileen and Chloe

[Jake.]

She wasn't exactly vocal about it but I do commend her for not egging it on, she's actually a really nice girl

[Headie]

Yet not one of them opened their mouths to stop it :shrug:

Well Eileen, Kieran and Cristian were sleeping so...

And it's not easy going against the grain and letting 10 other people know that you don't like what they're doing. She was probably scared of being branded boring or no sense of humour, or even being nominated. That's how pressurising the bb house can feel.

[Ant.]

she's my current favourite next to Nick. I respect her a lot, shame she doesn't get that much recognition

Well they other could hardly be encouraging it if they were sleeping, but good on Chloe

[Macie Lightfoot]

Anyone who acknowledges that BB is a gap year for chavs needs to stay <3

[reece(:]

Earth angel must remain <3

Joel was laughing at Aaron.

Does that mean he was encouraging it too?

[ThriceShy]

Joel was laughing at Aaron.

Does that mean he was encouraging it too?

Yes, it does.

If Joel was really uncomfortable then the last thing he should have been doing is laughing.

I think he is a complete sneak who saw the opportunity to eliminate Aaron from the competition when he got into the diary room.

I thought I saw Chloe...but didn't see the twins either.

[Jason.]

Yes, it does.

:clap1:

He also could've left the bedroom if he felt that his personal space had been violated.

He is in the Big Brother House, not a cardboard box.

Joel was the victim...and really didn't know what to do.

[Hofman]

Hate Joel but do think he was laughing from peer pressure to play along rather than encourage it

[ThriceShy]

Joel was the victim...and really didn't know what to do.

Was he locked in the bedroom?

[rionablue]

BB should have intervened much earlier. Often when this kind of behaviour even starts BB calls the perpretator to the diary room straight away. it was left go on too long

[Amy Jade]

She should have opened her mouth then and said something...but wait that would be out of character for the boring bitch

I suspect it was left to go on that long to give them some footage for the highlights and to give them an excuse to do a ratings-boosting ejection.

He did. He went to the bathroom.

BB16: Sarah

[Amy Jade]

BB16: Sarah

Don't come for me for liking Sarah when your avi is that misery arsed runner up from last year hun

[MB.]

(I would comment on your avi but I'd need to know who she was first)

[Maria26]

still voting for her to be evicted. She is so dull and useless.

[Vicky.]

I am browsing DS at the min, and they have brought up something I didn't even really think of and it might have an element of truth to it, though mentioning it here I already know is opening a massive can of worms...but here we go

It is possible that the others didn't tell Aaron to stop as they were afraid of being labelled homophobic. I have felt for a while that possibly thats why Joel accepts the behavior even though hes not comfortable with it. Apparently (though I didnt actually see it myself) Aaron himself favourited a couple of comments on twitter that accused Joel of being homophobic..then deleted them. If this is true..then it kinda backs up that opinion :S

I doubt many people have experience in dealing with matters like this. And 'homophobe' is flung around a lot in general

Of course some may (and probably were) encouraging it because they found it funny. I doubt they would have found it funny had they been on the receiving end however

[Daniel-X]

Yeah she was the only housemate in the bedroom not encouraging it unlike Harriet who was pushing Aaron onto Joel and Sarah who was telling him to 'flash him one more time'

Chloe is great when she speaks up and recently every time I've seen her I've really liked her just need to see her a bit more. Hope she and the twins stay tonight.

[rusticgal]

Was he locked in the bedroom?


No...but I expect he felt more secure surrounded by people that leaving the room and having Aaron follow him.

[Cherie]

He couldn't follow him into the DR

[Nancy.]

Joel was the victim...and really didn't know what to do.

Then he should have gone straight to BB and asked them to intervene. Not stay in the same room where he was being "sexually harrassed".

[y.winter]

Yes, it does.

If Joel was really uncomfortable then the last thing he should have been doing is laughing.

I don't agree with that.
Laughter is a very common human mechanism of stress release, mental and physical (embarrassment, awkwardness, dealing with a strange situation, discomfort).
It doesn't mean that he was purely entertained by the situation, neither part of the other watching hms.
Yes, it can be seen as inappropriate, it can be (=Harriet not reading the situation properly for example), but not automatically.

[StephenPullen]

I really hope Chloe stays too. For me, she's one of the only decent female housemates in there, but I feel she's underedited - it would be a shame to see her go

She may not ecouraged it but she is just as bad for not opening her mouth and saying stop

[Crimson Dynamo]

Chloe not expressing any emotion..shock

[Patricia4]

Yet not one of them opened their mouths to stop it :shrug:

That is what I said in another thread.

[Jason.]

And your beloved Harriet is even worse, pushing Aaron onto Joel, and egging him on.
