Then the wink at Nathan just to finish it off.

She was hilarious, she played that role so well

She's not a bully but she definitely let the power go to her head , same with Nathan who actually thinks part gate is funny.

Bagel drama was so unnecessary, I understood why Dean threw it away....Izaaz made a big deal out of nothing ,and Emma also looked annoyed so why doesn't she just admit it . She clearly said " oh it's gone in the bin", she didn't like that decision but she acting like she was fine with it .

They're all so petty, just shows how bored they must be ...even when they're doing a task...they still have to make a fuss.

Even Dean was still getting annoyed aswell,they all need to get over it .

And Izaaz clearly wanted more air time just for giggles , he's clashing now with Khaled . Izaaz will likely be nominated next week.

Stop trying to cherry pick to strengthen your argument. She said that the only time "he's sweet is when he's asleep" They all cackled like high school bullies. and in dairy room she called him a "strange boy" When a gay woman called Khaled a nice boy she was patronising condescending and a bully but when heterosexual Emma does it she's amazing and witty.

The innuendo throughout that whole chat had me rolling.:joker:

Tbf, Izaaz is really strange.

I've felt that way about him for awhile now, so Emma's just expressing what I've been thinking with Izaaz and Lily.:joker:

…that task was definitely made for Emma, she’s kind of a ‘natural entertainer’ isn’t she…what’s a joy to see as well is an older/oldest female housemate not feeling a bit more ‘out of it’ with the younger housemates which can often happen…I like her honesty and forthright way, I like her humour, I like her enthusiasm in that task…I just like her, that simple really…

In total fairness to you, I didn't like how she immediately thought of Izaaz for the last stage of the task as a means to 'punish him'. But that was more because I thought they should be thinking strategically on how to pass, not as a means of getting back at someone.

Still, as a means of getting back at someone, it's still very light, and in every other area, BB very narrowly limited their powers to what was necessary for the task. Aside from that one instance already mentioned, I don't think it's totally fair to say the power went to their heads. They enjoyed the little perks of being in a position of privilege in a classic BB 'divide the house'-style task. They're not the first to do so, and they won't be the last.

Emma was probably genuinely annoyed about the bagel being thrown, I'll admit, but to play devil's advocate here, she was generally overacting for the purposes of playing up to the task. So there's some degree of ambiguity there. I agree that it wasn't a big deal. And having said that, getting away from the actual incident itself, I understand the irritation one might feel in having someone else presume to speak for you or use your name for some measure of clout/persuasion. I don't think Emma was wrong for being annoyed by that particular facet of 'Bagelgate' :joker:

Cherry picking to strengthem my argument? :joker: You need to stop reading the likes of reddit and taking yourself quite so seriously. All I did was point out that it's not bullying to call someone a **** stirrer when there's literal footage of the guy saying 'I'm being a **** stirrer' and chuckling away like a little kid.

We'll agree to call it bullying when she's leading a sustained and concentrated effort to make him feel alienated from a large portion of the house. All we've seen thus far is her make a very light ribbing about him (in a conversation where most of the participants were criticising him to one degree or another anyway) and maybe being a bit condescending in reference to him in the DR (though I'd argue there's a world of difference between a 53 year old calling you a boy when you're not in earshot, and a 38 year old doing it right to your face after actually trying to alienate a large portion of the house from you).

If you think what Emma did last night was bullying, then you've a very precious and liberal definition of what that constitutes, imo. :shrug:

Always been an Emma fan. Under that cougar mutton dressed as lamb thing she has going on there is a sharp brain. She's very self aware and aware of others.

I think that it's easy to underestimate her.

Attempting to label her as any kind of 'bully' is stupid.
