Ive decided, Freddie is in fact being "bullied"

[*mazedsalv**]

For the last 3 weeks I have repeatedly said that Freddie is just being picked on lightly, but after watching tonights HLs, I have finally realised that this is bullying.

Everything that he says, will be twisted to make him look like the one in the wrong. The BR at the end just proved that everyone was aggainst him (apart from Siavash and Marcus).

Also the mocking of the accent.... you can say whatever you want but if someone took the mick out of Sree's accent, it will be seen as racist, so why is it okay to take the mick out of Freddie's one.... i bet its because he's white :rolleyes:, yes it is posh, but accents shouldnt be mocked whether its a different countries or Scottish.

Also Kris getting up and saying "Ohh i cant deal with this" after an normal conversation shows that he doesnt know how to have a normal convo... as he hasnt got a fully sized brain.

Even my Dad agrees, he finds it harsh that he is being treated like this

[Stephanie]

it's nasty, and petty.
big brother needs to do something to take the focus off bullying halfwit. :sad:

[SuperdooperE]

I was thinking that tonight! I'm not just saying it because it's Freddie either, if Kris adopted Sree's accent everytime he repeated something Sree said i think the others would have something to say about it. The same if one of them started talking in a Scottish accent everytime they bitched about something Karly said. It just shows it's a personal attack on Freddie and not just a disagreement with what he said.

[*mazedsalv**]

I just dont understand why BB didnt at least give them a telling off because its been going on for almost 4 weeks now.

Spot on

[rusticgal]

You are absolutly right... I think they feel that he has no need for the prize money...so he shouldn't be there.They are jealous of him and feel intimidated by his astuteness...

To be honest, I have to agree. Not serious bullying, but it is certainly childish cruelty and bitching from one group of adults towards another [lone] adult. It's pathetic. And normaly I am the first one to shoot someone on sight who uses the term 'bully'.

And hey, this is only what we see on the HL show!

[Arneldo]

Pathetic. You have to realise that Halfwit has now been nominated four times, and the only reason is because he is not liked inside the house. It's not a case of bullying - that's just stupid. He isn't liked and they have every right not to like him. That simple.

[andyman]

It will get worse, just hope the public keep Freddie in to peee off the vile dk head gang as we can't evict any off them due to block voting.

BB need to put the whole house up for eviction, then the public and deal out true justice for the FIRST TIME this series.

I was thinking exactly the same thing the other day.
If people in there were mocking Sree, Rodrigo's or Angel's accent I think they'd be warned for racism or people in the outside would be saying it's racist. But they take the piss out of Freddie's all the time!

Yes, so instead of politely treating him like an adult, lets call him a twat, a prat and a moron. And lets ignore him. And lets make the focal point of all our convorsations about him. Because that is TRULEY the best way to deal with someone you simply dont get along with.

[Simone.]

I think he handles it so well.
He just tires to talk to people & they treat him like ****. Raise their voices, speak over him then go to another room and start bitching!

[cleaner67]

I in my posts i`ve always put picked on but seems i`m not the only one who now realises that it is bullying. They need to be called to the diary room and given a talking to.

They are only talking about him because he gives them something to talk about. It isn't like it's just one or two people - it's 90% of the house. So, maybe he is just that annoying. Maybe he is in fact a massive knob. Maybe he isn't the "hero" that his fans make him out to be. These people are the ones living with him after all.

Hillarious. Thinking of excuses to justify blatant hatred of one group of human beings towards another.

If I do not get on with someone, I avoid them. And I treat them with human dignity. I dont increase my exposure to them by consistently talking about them. I dont walk away from them when they are attempting to talk to me. I dont goad them. And if I did do any of these things, I would do them on my own. Not in packs of four.

do you actually watch the show???

do you think this is normal, acceptable behaviour??

would you like your brother/sister to be treated in this way??

yes they can not like him, but to constantly take the piss and single him out at every opportunity is bullying.

if my daughter was treated like this at school, i'd kick up ****!!! but even then she can go home at the end of the day. halfwit is around them 24/7 and has no escape unless he walks. he won't do that coz he's strong

[Prole]

Freddie has been singled out because he's different. He's far more intelligent than most of them and they feel threatened by that. It's schoolyard stuff and speaks volumes about Kris, Lisa, Karly and the rest of the vacuous deadheads.

It's getting a bit cruel now. If they don't like him, they don't have to go out of their way to make his life miserable, which they're actually enjoying.

[witchy666]

It must be awful though, he is stuck in that house on his own with nobody to help him or back him, when team nasty back each other up if they are in the wrong or right. As for the accent mickey taking, its bloody disgraceful, they are acting like children.

If it was bullying wouldn't Big Brother do something?!

It is not particularly blatant. Who knows, perhaps if this Big Brother was set in 2007, a media shitstorm might have happened by now that would force BB to do something.

Ok, name some reasons. There aren't actually any genuine reaons for treating him this way because he's a nice guy and has more patience than about 90% of people i know or will meet. He doesn't even retaliate to their childish behaviour.
I can understand why you, and the housemates, might find him incrediably annoying. Yet surely they could at least try to see some of the positive sides to him? He doesn't purposefully try to piss them off, it's just the way he is. The grown up thing to do would be to accept you don't like certain things about him but to try to at least relate slightly and act like a civil human being instead of saying "i can't talk to you" and walking away. How is Freddie meant to annoy Kris less if he's just going to walk away everytime Freddie tries to resolve it.

[bbaddict]

yes i think your absolutly right its a disgrace poor freddie i really cant understand why there allowing it to go on .I think the only way for them to do anything about it is to complain to ofcom about it which is what i have allready done but unfortunitly they need more than just me ringing so come on everyone if u really mean what you say ring up and complain lets put a stop to it .

How can they avoid him? They are lcoked in a house with him. They are doing tasks together. I'm sure if they could they would avoid him but they can't. Bitching about somebody is not bullying. If this was the case with Sophia, nobody would be complaining.

You also contradict yourself when you say you "avoid them" and yet "don't walk away from them when they are attempting to talk to me".

When ti comes to Halfwit, they other housemates can do no right in the eyes of his fans. To him, he is god.

The best thing his fans can do is take pleasure in knowing that he is most likely win this show.

I agree, i feel bad because i have hated on him. But now like alot of people Ive realised he is just being himself an being bullied for no reason.

Oh come off it, FFS. You know what I meant by 'avoid him' Obviously you dont avoid someone when they are trying to have an honest, one on one convorsation with you. Thats just called being an unreasonable prick. In fact, YOUR the one contradicting yourself. By simply walking away, Kris perfectley demonstrated that you CAN avoid him.

I am sure things would have been different had the others been in the room. Theirs dozens of more point I want to make, but some members have already made them.

Also, please. Dont get your knickers in a twist just because the boy has fans. His not god, but I am backing him due to the fact that he is a loner based on isolation due to his class status.

Sophie nominated him with the line 'he says too many intelligent words!'. Nuff said.

I get it, but it shouldnt go unnoticed, they should do something about it, its bullying, but thats what I think.

[scottyd73]

Its actually become quite hard to watch now bet it wouldn't be so bad if you watched live feed all day as it would be diluted but it seems every night its all about the freddie bashing.
I think big brother will do something to shake things up maybe full house up for eviction or something to make sure its more than just freddie and one other up each week.

You are right that they don't like freddie, and this is why they are constantly making cruel comments to his face and behind his back, apart from Siavash and Marcus. It's more than obvious and there is surmountable evidence proving the various forms of bullying..

[Melly.Moo]

Most of them are being downright nasty. Surely it is bordering on bullying?!
I think there needs to be someone in there who has a pair of balls and actually stick up for Freddie.
More housemates please. The posher the better!!! Haha.

[Addy]

what comes around, goes around and I cant wait to spend my money to get these a**hol*s out!

[Bevy]

This is bullying.

Kris is playing the classic school yard bully tactics.

He is trying to isolate Freddie from the rest of the group
and make him the butt of the joke at every chance.

Lisa has already made it clear how she feels about Freddie
calling him a 'D@ck ed' to his face and looked like she was ready to rip into Freddie more but for only Marcus stepping in and putting her in her place.

Kris & Lisa are nasty bits of work.

And hey, this is only what we see on the HL show!


I don't like Freddie, but what I see that bunch do to him and the nasty aproach they have towards him, fills me with anger.

That is why this is bullying of an insidious and sustained approach. Any decent minded adult (sadly, not much of those in the BB house) would challenge this type of behaviour. Instead, their closed little community fails to recognise this.

They are intimidated by his perceived popularity, they are unwilling to acknowledge he may actually have sympathy, if not support from the viewers. So, all they can rely on is their own petty vindictiveness and mutual validation of such appalling behaviour.

Since he went in, I have disliked Freddie, but I feel sympathy towards him for the alienation and contemptous manner they show him.

Even if Freddie gets voted out this week, the others behiour will not be forgotten. To my mind, only Siavash has shown any human decency and support towards Freddy, this has put him in good stead with the viewers. Needless to say however, Siavash will be the next victim the "hounds of hate" will be baying after.

[Diiiiiiiinamite]

I agree with the majority of the posts here and a lesser person would have walked by now. They humiliate Freddie whenever they can. The joke is nearly always on him. Sometimes I find it very uncomfortable to watch. If Freddie had gone to the diary room with a token in exchange for beer, before consulting the others, he would have been hung out to dry! When Kris and Charlie tried it on it hardly raised a ripple.

[Patrick]

Lets all complain!

:spin:


I love Karly, I really do but tonight I just felt sick watching her doing that to Freddie :mad:

Siavash/Marcus and Freddie need to be in the finale!

There the only 3 that arent being dick heads and following Lisa and Kris!

[ILoveFreddie]

Great thread :thumbs:

[*mazedsalv**]

And i feel really bad for judging Marcus so early on. I thought he would be a Sezer type, but he is right in everything he says, he understands what the public are thinking, Im just hoping that if Freddie stays this week, that its Freddie VS Siavash or Marcus. I just hope Kris and Lisa are up.

[Miss-red]

its cruel and it's not at all nice to watch

[Cybele]

This is a great thread. I never really thought about the fact that they mock his accent. You are absolutely correct that if Freddie was anything but white/British, Big Brother would be chiding housemates for doing it.

He is the easy one to pick on, because anyone who picks on him knows that no one will speak up. Now if they picked on anyone else, someone would say something. Even Rodrigo stood up for Angel (though it is a bit hypocritical for him to join in on the Freddie bashing).

And one, slightly unrelated, comment: Noirin should NEVER pick Freddie to be up for eviction. He gave his birthday present to her so that she wouldn't have to draw on her face anymore. What a beeatch.

Freddie is a pity vote

ABSOLUTELY. CHris is so thick he can't handle the pressure of having to think in real-time during a conversation. And as for people mocking his accent - well, that's funny isn't it, because he actually speaks eloquently. Inverse snobbery - commoners who judge on class based on accent, or take an instant dislike to someone who doesn't possess a cockney/regional accent. CHris has a lazy mouth when he speaks, he can't even shape his words properly. Lisa - sorry brummies, but her accent is AWFUL and if I had to sit in the BB house and listen to her drag queen voice going on and on and on the way it does I would probably drown myself in the pool. Dogface can't even use her voice properly when speaking, let alone singing. Doesn't her shaky wibbly whimpering annoy anyone else? I feel like shaking the bitch and telling her to take a fkin deep breath before she speaks. Noirin has not only been 'blessed' with that gorgeous Dublin accent (:conf2: - which actually I like but strangely on men only) and then she goes and ruins it further by yelling instead of speaking.

They are all a bunch of plebs. I feel sorry for Freddie. His only comfort is at least Siavash, Marcus and Rodders are in the house to balance out the thick ignoramus: intelligent individual ratio.

Excellent point April. Can you imagine how CHris or Sophie would CRUMBLE if the tables were turned?

They would walk without a doubt there weak willed with no stamina there always whining in the dr room:sleep:

I haven't heard freddie complain yet to b/b he just says they have game plans:flowers:

[GiRTh]

I agree with Arneldo. With only three weeks of the comeptition gone Freddie has already received a record number of nominations. They clearly dont like him and I think they're showing their frustration at having to live with some one who, just about all of them, cant stand. I agree there are leaders and followers in this but I dont think they're buyllying Freddie at all. Also, If hes as intelligent as so many people seem to think then why isnt he clever enough to keep himself out of the firing line or turn their behaviour back on them? Truth is he gives them plenty of ammuniton.

[rsefitpro2009]

He's being bullied alright, and it's gotten worse within the past few days.

Going off experience of watching BB they tend to step in when it's too late! they are thinking of viewing figures over the housemates I think!

Lisa and Kris remind me of school yard bullies who bully without any real reasoning! Freddie has repeatedly asked Kris what his problem is with him, and Kris keeps saying i don't want to talk about it, or he won't comment.

Lisa and Freddie i think had a confrontation last night? (maybes on tonights highlight packages) and she I don't think gives him a clear answer either.

The Likes of Karly,Dogface and Noirin to a certain extent are the hanger onners who just stay attached to those 2 and agree with everything they say.

Their has to come a time when this whole thing comes to ahead and when it does (if it does) the whole thing will explode which may harm the already damaged reputation of BB even further.

No need to resort to playground bullying tho mate, Siavash and Marcus dont and It is over stupid things

[GiRTh]

He needs to fly under the radar for a while but that doenst seem to ever occur to him. He's in a house full of people who cant stand him but still he attempt to control conversations, still try to get his own way over others. He hasnt done much wrong other than be a prat. He's not nasty or malicious but he is a prize prat and I think thats why the other HM's frustration is boiling over.

He hasnt done much wrong other than be a prat and I think thats why the other HM's frustration is boiling over.

yeh but I think since they have been arseholes to him for just being an oddball hes started winding them up on purpose, good for him, its having the desired effect and showing them up

I wouldn't call it bullying, and I really don't think anyone who has been bullied will call it bullying either. It's immature, bitchy and cruel, but it's not bullying. Halfwit and Sree just seem to make themselves the easiest targets; Sree because he's so easy to wind up/short tempered and says stupid stuff, and Halfwit because he's different and comes across as abnormal socially. People always make fun of others, and in group situations, there is always someone who doesn't gel well with the others and get's picked on because the others don't want them in the group. I doesn't mean it's bullying. If it WAS bullying, I think Freddie would have reacted a lot differently than he has been doing. Deep down, he knows they're all just playing the game and I don't think he's taking it too personally.

So Girth says that Freddie needs to stay low and let the dk head gang have their way.. Intresting!

[BGT-FAN!]

Yeah its disgraceful
Kris, Charlie & Lisa should be spoken to by big brother being told to stop it

It's classic case of group bullying, all think the same, act the same towards a person they know is the outsider.. Only that group have a problem with, funny that the others don't!

[Narc]

Ohh, the House is full of sadistic, quarter-wits who just aren't entertaining... and yes, it IS bullying, and Freddie's piteous tones when he speaks to them is a great way of annoying them even more, love it :laugh:

Freddie has the right to stand up for himself but he's shown he's not equipped to do it effectively. I dont think he has any other option than to stop trying to control situations or trying to have conversations with unwilling HM's.

[DiamondDogTags]

Freddie needs to stop being PC and tell them all to ***** off.

[LovelyL]

It is bullying plain and simple.
He hasn't actually done anything wrong to most of them, fair enough he might have habits that annoy them but it's not intentional and he doesn't do anything with malice. It's typical playground bullying, it is getting out of hand rapidly. Every single thing he says, right or wrong, is being viciously twisted and used as an excuse to attack him. BBLB news today showed a great example when Freddie quietly said to Karly that she'd "avoided eye contact" with him, she shouted out in front of the whole group and made a ridiculous scene out of it.
Bullies.

This.

[Indierock&roll]

i think its sad how in the house he hasnt got any true friends like anyone to really talk to who wants to listen, like he had angel but non of the others really do
i mean siavash talks to him but i dont think there that close and marcus and noirin talk to him but again not close
its sad

[mrsme]

:devil:

I have been saying since the third or forth day that halfwit is being bullied. i am just really pleased that everyone is seeing it now.
ffs, the way lisa has been manouvering them all is disgusting. she is a sly little bitch. SHE is the one with the game plan, and unfortunatly she has chosen freddie to be her sacrificial lamb. disgusting. charlie kris karly and sophie are not bright enough to see they are her puppets. kris is so ugly on the inside.

this bullying makes me feel sick. i hope freddie survives this week and then lisa gets her little ass up. she is a vile COW

[LJ]

I agree. BB Should do something. After the whole Jade/Shilpa episode have they totally forgotten what happened? Be fair and punish the housemates. They are so totally bullying. You may not like him but there's no need to be so rude all the time (Kris is the worst culprit)

[MaratSafinForever]

It'll work against them.

[mtt]

Lisa is such a cow, just as bad as Alex last year, and she was kicked out, lisa should get the boot, the others won't cope without their leader

[tonybeyondo]

I think after watching tonight's episode that they're actually starting to realize what they're doing- when Halfwit called everyone out, Kris didn't say a word.

BB also made a point to say something to both Lisa and Karly and show it in the limited onscreen time. In the enclosed world of Big Brother, they may not really even realize what is going on- perhaps Karly made her 1st realization tonight.

[mtt]

BB should do something, i hope they are all up next week and we can start getting rid of lisa's crew

he stood up to them fine last nite, couldnt be more effective, big respect. the more intelligent and reasonable he was the more they blocked him and couldnt string an argument together. All they do is take the piss. Also there has been numerous times over the weeks hes been taken the piss out of and singled out.

-Stealing his mattress

-Having a go at him and Angel about minor things theyve done and speaking to them disrespectfully(Noone else would have been singled out in the same way)
-taking the piss with the hide and seek

-Sree taking the piss in the garlic argument and running back to the rest of the morons who all could see how reasonable Freddie was being but didnt stick up for him

-Constantly not allowing Freddie to have a voice in the house even if he has a valid point

I cant remember every little comment thats been said but plenty have over the weeks mostly out of Lisa's mouth

Also as Andyman has pointed out its only that one group of morons that have issues with him. The more intelligent HMs like Siavash and Marcus like him and congratulated him for standing up to them

[Drey_Lang]

Dudes BB dont think its bullying - See below

Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding BIG BROTHER.

We are sorry to hear that you found the housemate's comments and actions towards Halfwit offensive.

Big Brother has spoken to Freddie, a number of times, following his arguments with a various housemates. As was shown in last night's highlights show, Freddie took the decision himself to tackle Karly and Lisa head on about some of their recent disagreements. Following his discussions with Karly and Lisa, Big Brother spoke to Freddie in the Diary Room, where Freddie said that he had had a good day and was pleased that he had spoken to them. Freddie also talked to Siavash and Marcus throughout the day about his relationships with other housemates and he continues to do so. Big Brother also talked to both Karly and Lisa about their disagreements with Freddie and will continue to monitor the situation.?

As you know, BIG BROTHER is not a scripted drama, but a reality programme and one of the consequences of reality television is that at times participants in the programme will express opinions or react in a way which a viewer may disagree with or find upsetting. It is important that within the context and structure of the programme that housemates have the right to express themselves without censure as long as they do not contravene the BIG BROTHER rules.

We do appreciate that some viewers will find certain comments or actions unacceptable and we will always look at the context and the justification in screening certain scenes or conversations in line with the Ofcom regulations. We take our responsibility to our audience very seriously and if a housemate, expressed views which were clearly in breach of the rules of BIG BROTHER, then appropriate action would be taken.

I can assure you that any decision regarding the housemates is not taken lightly and the production team are constantly reviewing the on-going situation in the house as the primary concern of both Channel 4 and the BIG BROTHER producers, is the welfare of the housemates.

We would like to assure you also that your concerns have been logged for the attention of the programme makers.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us.

Regards,

Veronica Way

It is ridiculous how freddie is being treated.
I don't really feel it's bullying, or at least something that they should correct just yet, because in all honesty this kind of thing is a possibility.

Until they get physical with freddie or threaten him(can you say alex) Biggie isn't going to do anything about it.

I don't think anyone would see people making fun of freddie's way of talking as racist because even though he talks differently, when it boils down to it it is white on white crime. freddie's accent is a result of choice/demeanor/upbringing, not his race. :shrug:

and sree complaining about racism when marcus imitated him, eh don't take that seriously because sree obviously uses any shield that he can to make himself look like a victim and get attention, and he knew that the race thing certainly would get attention both in and out of the house. BB had no choice but to correct marcus because if BB didn't we could all say goodbye to BB forever because we'd never hear the end of it, and sree the sh*tshtirrer would get even more attention:yuk: BB could have been sued or something, and it would lose a big chunk of audience.

But my heart hurts for freddie. i can't even call him halfwit because it makes me sad!

siavash is kickass

[28thapril]

Siavash told sree not to use the racist card as it upset siavash to be put in sree's catagory:cloud:

freddie's up bringing has probably put him in contact with shallow small minded people in his past IMO he know's there games and mentality and is big enough to let it wash over him and not let it get him down I for one admire that in him and because of his strength of character bb feel he's doing ok so they let it lie :kiss:

That's why freddie will win:cheer:

[Inspectah29]

that kris is just vile
somene just needs to slap him up.
