Why is this show trying to villainise Austin?

[Mystic Mock]

For struggling to live with Chloe and Janice? I'm speaking for us all when I say that we all would struggle to live with those two so why Austin is being treated as a “bully” because Janice constantly makes snidey comments towards him in her Michelle Visage meets Gary Busey way, and Chloe just being an annoying fake ass bitch that constantly cries or looks moody and he then snaps at them for it.

How am I suppose to side against Austin on this? Especially when Janice and James keep acting so self-righteous against him to try and get him evicted and hope to inherit some of his fans which they both would ironically.

[MB.]

He's doing it himself :umm2:

[Black Dagger]

He does it himself quite fine.

[Liam-]

He's literally villaising himself, he need no help from the show to do that.

[Mystic Mock]

He's doing it himself :umm2:

So explain why people like Sherrie having issues with Chloe then?

We all have limits and I think that Austin (like we all would) has found them two hard to live with.

I think there was a lot more of Austin going off on Chlovie that we didn't see. All the housemates were talking about it...James, Bobby, Janice, Farrah and even Jenna.

I'm glad that Austin apologized for it...and fake or not, he seemed to have dropped it...so all good.

[MB.]

Sherrie isn't an almighty prick about it.

Exactly

[armand.kay]

he is a douche bag don't blame the editing.

[goldensunlight]

Now Jarrah aren't living up to their original potential, they're looking for a new hate figure.

Janice as a cross between Gary Busey and Michelle Visage, woah you've hit the nail on the head there.

[goldensunlight]

Sherrie isn't an almighty prick about it.
Sherrie has no backbone, she just bitches about people when they're not around.

[Mystic Mock]

People can't seriously be buying that Austin's being a twat to them 24/7 like the highlights are making out?:joker:

James and Austin have made up and are still close friends. No doubt they won't show any of this tomorrow :spin:

It isn't a 'sarcastic joke', I'm just genuinely not sure if you've realised we can't see everything and they're obviously going to show these scenes as they're most important from a narrative perspective

[Dollface]

I agree with you Mock. I don't think Austin's dealing with it in the best way possible but he's hardly a bully for getting annoyed by the fake Chloe (who for some reason gets treated like a baby, even though she's an adult and has shown she has got a bitchy side to her)

[Mystic Mock]

It isn't a 'sarcastic joke', I'm just genuinely not sure if you've realised we can't see everything and they're obviously going to show these scenes as they're most important from a narrative perspective

Well as this isn't suppose to be an episode of Eastenders with “storylines” I think that everyone should be getting different facets of their personality shown in the highlights and not the same side over and over again.

[MB.]

Well as this isn't suppose to be an episode of Eastenders with “storylines” I think that everyone should be getting different facets of their personality shown in the highlights and not the same side over and over again.

No, the show follows storylines, it has a storyline producer who decides how the footage shown can be aired so it fits a narrative. That's how it works.

[goldensunlight]

Austin bitches about people behind their back too lets not pretend he doesn't lol
Anything he's said about people behind their back is not something he hasn't said directly to them either.

[Dollface]

I feel a bit sorry for Gail because she was shown to be this annoying self-pitying cry-baby but in her interview she was really funny

[Amy Jade]

Haven't heard him tell Janice she was a waste of oxygen :think:

[Daniel.]

:sleepingneyde:

[Mystic Mock]

What does the fact that he's a man have to do with the show's editing of Austin?

Because the show is making it look bad that a big built guy is arguing on a fragile looking woman which isn't fair as he should be allowed to be annoyed with her without the edit going against him.

And if the roles were reversed I bet that some people still wouldn't side with him on here and would claim that he needs to “man up.”

And going by other years this hypothetical scenario would happen.

[goldensunlight]

Haven't heard him tell Janice she was a waste of oxygen :think:
Remember we only see 45 minutes of 24 hours every day (less on eviction nights), as pointed out only a few posts ago in this thread. :fan:

[Mystic Mock]

Gail is the perfect example as to why a storyline driven highlights doesn't work because she got villainsed for crying and again hating Chloe.

How many people are gonna be villainised for hating Chloe until the public actually click that the problem is Chloe?

[MB.]

Remember we only see 45 minutes of 24 hours every day (less on eviction nights), as pointed out only a few posts ago in this thread. :fan:

To be honest I doubt Austin telling Janice that she's a 'waste of oxygen' to her face instead of behind her back would do him many favours either

Austin is gross, the only person making him look like a dick is himself.

[Amy Jade]

And you think that they wouldn't show the fall out of him pretty much telling her she's a waste of human life?

Probably not, but Janice accusing him of being a 'bully' is no better and somehow she gets away with anything she says or does, purely because she's Janice Dickinson. :rolleyes: She's absolutely as tedious as it gets and I for one am sick of her, she needs to get down off her high horse.

[Mystic Mock]

I'm bad at Maths, but I'm pretty sure that Gail and Austin constitute as two Housemates.

Someone rightfully and correctly labelling someone as a bully is nowhere near the same as someone calling someone a 'waste of oxygen'

Gail hasn't been 'villanised' whatsoever.

I'm not going to guess what has or hasn't been said, because quite frankly none of us have any clue and it's a bit of a stretch to assume that they show us every section of every argument that happens.

[armand.kay]

they can't show Austin to be a villain unless he acts like one if he was a nice person they wouldn't have any footage to make him look like a villain.

[Vanessa]

Do you know what? I love James and Austin so much. Look at how much fun they're having on live feed. I'll miss these two. :laugh:

So by your terms of a bully is Janice bullying Austin then? Because every time he speaks she's down his throat nitpicking at what his saying.

[Amy Jade]

they can't show Austin to be a villain unless he acts like one if he was a nice person they wouldn't have any footage to make him look like a villain.

This is how I feel, they've shown everything he's done in pretty plain context...even his closest friend in there has taken a dislike to him so for me all the cards are on the table.

[Liam-]

No, Janice is retaliating, she doesn't do it every time he speaks, unlike Austin with everything either Chloe, Janice or Stevie does, Austin is the bully, no-one else.

[goldensunlight]

To be wrongfully accused of 'bullying' someone is quite an offense. Janice knows what she's doing, reality tv is her thing and she knows how to play the victim or vilify another housemate. It's not the first time she's done it either. She's disgustingly manipulative.

Where has she done it elsewhere? can you give some examples?

[goldensunlight]

Well technically they can. If he's had a couple of arguments during the day and the rest of the day he's been having a great time, laughing and joking around with everyone and they choose not to show the 'fun' parts of his personality, they are making him look like a villain.

[armand.kay]

This is how I feel, they've shown everything he's done in pretty plain context...even his closest friend in there has taken a dislike to him so for me all the cards are on the table.
and it's not like his past behaviour is all that different to this incident so I'm gonna choose to believe what I see on the show :shrug:

Yeah but he was still being an ott prick towards chloe him having few giggles thought the rest of the day doesn't change that.

[Amy Jade]

Have you seen the show he's in Armand? he's horrible, literally vile to total strangers. He's not a nice person in my opinion but I gave him the benifit of the doubt for BB but he's that exact person in the show. No wonder Marc Jocobs kicked his ass to the curb.

[Lostie!]

As Amy said, James' response to Austin's behaviour makes the theory that Austin is looking bad because of editing less likely.

Fair enough he apologised but I still don't particularly like him and wouldn't be at all surprised for his dickishness to resurface again soon.

[Amy Jade]

He's fun when he's not arguing :laugh:

In fairness though he's not been having fun recently, just attacking other housemates fir not doing as he wants or agreeing with him

[Mystic Mock]

No, Janice is retaliating, she doesn't do it every time he speaks, unlike Austin with everything either Chloe, Janice or Stevie does, Austin is the bully, no-one else.

I've never seen her try to be nice to Austin once, even when he apologises to her when his been out of order or took it too far.

Janice plays the Michelle Visage self-righteous role mixed in with Gary Busey's wind up merchant whilst looking innocent at the same time role, it's a bizarre and not a very enjoyable mix to watch.

All I've seen Austin do is show frustration at Chloe like he has done with Janice, Bobby, Farrah, and Jenna, yet for some reason his being particularly villainsed for showing frustration at the most annoying person in there and I don't get why?

And just because Janice says someone is a bully doesn't mean that they actually are, otherwise Janice herself is a bully and everyone is or has been a bully then.

[Daniel.]

He's having fun right now on this live feed.

[Liam-]

I think Austin is a bully so end of really, I don't think he's a bully because of what Janice has said, I think he's a bully from what I've seen of him and he way he treats people :hee:

[MB.]

Also I like that someone (nobody on here (I think...), don't worry...) suggested that Austin was only acting like this because he was stressed that Scoop was evicted when he was acting exactly the same the day before Scoop was evicted?

[Jordan.]

:clap1:

Since their first argument when he said he's glad she's the house to her replying "good you'll learn something" to her making him stand before she'd even speak to him she's being a condescending bitch who's deserved every comment he's made about her

[goldensunlight]

Where has she done it elsewhere? can you give some examples?
With Jenna and Farrah. Like, she stole food out of Jenna's kosher fridge and lied about not knowing what it was, to then apologising (when it suited her, of course) and acting like the victim, so much that people actually sided with her over it. :facepalm: She's very clever in that sense, I'll give her that and it's the fault of the others naivety that they can't see straight through her act.

That isn't a very strong example imo, Janice didn't play the victim at all, she acted like a dick and said sorry a bit after and there has been no fuss since.

It's really difficult to deny that she plays victim one hell of a lot. It's her only strength in the game. She has a lot of experience with this kind of thing and knows what the public vote for. She has isolated herself and apologises one hell of a lot so that she looks like an angel, one thing which she will never be.

You have one very flimsy instance where you claim she plays the victim so it is pretty easy to deny she does it, you have no evidense. I have watched her in a lot of shows and I have her book and I would never say she plays a victim if anything she's a fighter.

This is what was said, not "Chloe Jasmine's pretending to be an alcoholic". It says "fake disease", with disease in quotation marks which suggests you're saying it isn't.

I think James being able to tell Austin what a sour bitch he's being makes him a good friend - he could easily blow smoke up his ass and let Austin hang himself with his caustic behaviour but he's given him food for thought, true friends do that they don't pussy foot around you pretending everythings ok

I found it interesting that it was James that's started to make snide remarks about Austin when I thought that it would be the other way around.

Either Austin is smarter than James in this area, or his more loyal than James and not slag Austin off for not putting himself across well despite being in the right.

[Macie Lightfoot]

so why Austin is being treated as a “bully”

I know I'm late to the party but he absolutely turned a toast for his brother into yet another opportunity for him to be the center of attention and bully Chloe. It's been multiple days of publicly abusing her and going on smear campaigns behind her back and just generally treating her like crap.

[Stormy]

I agree. Austin must have been pretty bad. I think it was worse than they even showed on the recap because the whole house kept talking about it. Even Jenna and Farrah were shocked and Jenna was criticizing Austin for going too far. Also, James wasn't the only one to talk to him about it. Bobby also tried to get him to cool down.

It went beyond Chloe not showing up at the toast. I think that Austin had a little meltdown and took it out on Chlovie because they are the weakest and he knew that Chloe nor Stevie would come at him. I don't think we even saw the half of it.

[Vanessa]

Austin has been so much fun to watch. He's very boisterous, even more so after he has had a drink. Him and James understand each other perfectly and that's why they have such a brilliant friendship. Last night live feed was a joy. Can't bear the though that one of these two could go before the final.

Oh...I agree with this too. Austin has his good side, but I can't put blinders on when he acts lick a total a$$ and I will call him out on it. His relationship with James is the reason that I like him and don't want him evicted, yet...but I don't think he should win.

I actually agree with you on the fact that Austin used his Brother's death as something to shame people with if they didn't do a toast to him, which if he was getting attacked by the public for solely that I wouldn't complain.

It's just the fact that Chloe is simply annoying to watch and I imagine it would be worse to live with, that's why I don't get the sympathy for her, especially as she toasted to Scoop and Gail's evictions.

[Mick]

Austin.........Its often not what he says in the early days I admired his honesty its the way that he delivers it.The chat last night between him and James (his only friend in the house) was telling because I think James did feel that he knew and liked Austin but has now seen another side of him which he does not like.

Austins public apology to Chloe was well said (but why not do this in private why the need to call a house meeting another staged performance) he also omitted Steve who deserved likewise.He insulted the guys woman and followed through by saying Steve did not have the balls to do anything about it.

Steves reference to the Hulk was cringe but if both lost it toe to toe my money would be on Steve because to me Austin is the typical all mouth and trousers bully boy and one good punch to what he considers his pretty face would see him fold.

I still find it hard to forgive the lie he told RE Janice spitting in his face and I think all that we saw last night was a redemption tactic which I hope proves to little to late. When he is evicted I anticipate a hostile crowd reception and if this happens he has only himself to blame (which of course he will not).

BB never showed us the footage on the spitting incident tbf, all we know is that Janice made motions of it so she should've got into trouble for threatening it imo.

[chuff me dizzy]

For struggling to live with Chloe and Janice? I'm speaking for us all when I say that we all would struggle to live with those two so why Austin is being treated as a “bully” because Janice constantly makes snidey comments towards him in her Michelle Visage meets Gary Busey way, and Chloe just being an annoying fake ass bitch that constantly cries or looks moody and he then snaps at them for it.

How am I suppose to side against Austin on this? Especially when Janice and James keep acting so self-righteous against him to try and get him evicted and hope to inherit some of his fans which they both would ironically.

You're not talking for me, I could easily live with Janice and Stevi,Chloe, its Jenna,Farrah and now Austin I couldn't live with, and please don't blame the producers for his vile behaviour

If someone literally spits in your face you will know for sure.This did not happen he knew that but lied to get Janice removed from the show.

[kirklancaster]

Sherrie isn't an almighty prick about it.

THIS.

It's not about him having adverfse opinions on his other HM's - it's all about HOW he goes about broadcasting them. He comes across as a loud-mouthed bully.

[Wizard.]

Because he's awful himself it's not down to editing hunny

[Vanessa]

The thing I love so much about James and Austin is that they're so different, and yet they just click. I haven't seen this much chemistry since Paul and Helen. Now I know they're not a couple, but there's some serious electricity here. They sure enjoy each others company very much. And James is the only one there who can handle boisterous Austin.

[Niamh.]

Deleted loads of posts in here can you stick to discussing the HMs please?

He hasn't helped himself on this the last few days but I get your point, Janice and Chloe would be nightmares for me to share a house with too.

He just needs to tone it down when he has a moan at them I think it wrong he gets branded a bully and is showna s the villain most of the time.

Last night for instance, Janice was sitting away fromthem all, doing her nails???, he asked her to come over she refused.
Then after he had said most of his peace, over she came spouting off at him.

I would have told her to push off since she indicated she didn't care or want to part of the proceedings.
She is good viewing but I would be arguing with her loads if I were in there and Chloe,I would be likely screaming shut up near all the time at her when she starts that false crying nonsense.

Agreed. Janice gets away with literally anything and it annoys me how some of the housemates either suck up or listen to her. 'Respect your elders' if she doesn't show Austin respect by gathering for the house meeting when he's trying to puts things right, why on earth should he respect her back? :bored: She's a truly awful woman.

That's probably why she didn't gather.

It was massive attention seeking from Austin and she wasn't going to indulge him.

[Dominic]

Because Austin is a horrible, vile, trash asshole.

I agree back with you.

I get fed up hearing this respect your elders nonsense, respect has to be earned not just given.
Janice has little respect for anyone really
.
She would sadly get little respect from me in there if she went on at me the way she has behaved so erratically and ridiculously with a good few of them now.

[bananarama]

...one? :unsure: I'm beginning to think this is less about others not liking Austin and just you not liking Chloe.

Exactly. The poster has an obsessive dislike of Chloe just like Austin has an obsessive love affair with himself.

Gail's problem with Chloe was actually an issue that Gail has with herself.

First mistake is claiming to speak for all of us. You don't simple as that.

Chloe may be odd but she is harmless and easy to ignore if one is mature enough.

Austin on the other hand is an arrogant rude ignorant wannabe alpha male. A nightmare for anyone to have to live with.

[Patricia4]

I think Austin is vile nothing to do with anyone making him look bad he does that himself.

Agreed with every word, spot on. :clap1:

I get people finding Chloe irritating but she in no way deserved the amount of nastiness some people in there have levelled towards her.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

isn't it obvious? BECAUSE HE IS GAY wake up america

[Crimson Dynamo]

isn't it obvious? BECAUSE HE IS GAY wake up america

:suspect:


I know James is but surely not Austin as well?

has he caught it from James?:nono:

[EspeonBB]

Austin is making himself look bad not the editors. It's as if the editors can show footage without it actually happening, Austin himself has been doing these nasty things so he's only got himself to blame

[Beetlejuice]

Having previously found Chloe amusing, I now find her unbearable. And Janice the same. They've made me like Austin, who I didn't before.

Whilst yes, they have chemistry, I just really don't like Austin, I think he's rude, nasty and attention seeking.

James however is great.

These two together are brilliant! I was so glued to live feed last night I got very little sleep. It's weird, because they have tons of sexual chemistry and they always look on the verge of making out. :hehe: There was play fighting and so much more!

"Ahead of his stint in the house, Austin said he's on the show to redeem gay American men."
