The bullying of Simon is a disgrace.
 

It is shahbaz all over again but he is far stronger than shahbaz.

If I was in Simon's position then I would blank them all, including refusing to take part in tasks, thereby losing them the luxury shopping budgets.

I think he is an easy target but I wouldnt use the word bullying.

Simon is the biggest bully in there. Vile man.

He's a massive drama queen, but i don't like the way some of the old housemates treat him.

Even though I don't care for Showbiz, I can see that it's starting to become vicious towards him. The others need to tone it down a little bit otherwise they're going to find themselves hated on the outside while Simon rises as the victor.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Big Brother to step in and desist the ganging up of Chloe, Eileen, Jack, Joel and sometimes Jade on Simon.

What else would you call an entire house going at him at once?

Problem for them is that I truly believe he is a sociopath so they will never actually bother him or force him out.

People like Chloe and Danny are going to lose any chance they had of winning though, if the public see them gang bullying someone.

This.

People are trying to deny any bullying because it's often their faves that are committing it on those they don't like. It's almost like they condone it because Simon is the victim. :nono:

Simon needs to start saying showbiz literally every 5 minutes and stop takling part in tasks. It will drive them mad.

They can't seclude him and then expect him to take part in winning them a shopping budget.

I think he initiates conflict that he can never settle and I think he's very unlikeable. The HM's are picking on him for sure but I think his horrible personality is largely to blame for their treatment of him and thus I find it hard to sympathize with him.

I kind of feel the same way actually. I want Simon to suddenly just go into one and verbally assassinate them all.

He's an idiot... get him out.

It's like everything he does is wrong, they're blowing it wayyyy out of proportion.

So you condone bullying if the person being bullied is 'asking for it' :shrug:

I don't know what they taught you in school, but bullying in an indefensible crime in my book, no matter who the victim is.

How did he initiate conflict?

He was lying on his bed minding his own business and the pack hatched a plan to gather round his bed and confront him with something he said in the diary room.

Thats not what I sadly and sadly its a long time since I was at school.

I'm referring to the arguments with Chloe.

I admit, he doesn't help himself. But I don't think all of the other housemates should gang up on him. If one person has a problem with him it should be dealt with one-on-one; I'm not one for this 'jump in to someone else's argument with a nasty comment' bull****.

When did he initiate an argument with chloe?

A horrible little man...and I use the word man loosely

Bullying?? He isolated himself by being fake and nasty to everyone, and he even said himself that he wants to cause drama. Can't blame them for not wanting to be his friend (which he also said he doesnt want friends)

Theres a thread on it. Go take a look.

:clap1:

You're probably quite immature if you think the old 'isolated himself, therefore it's his fault' is a bonafide excuse for bullying.

Bullying is bullying, no matter if the victim is indeed an annoying arsehole...

Simon isn't being bullied.

He is not being bullied the housemates are disappointed that he has been so fake and lets face it he has. He said he loved Chloe in tonights highlights show after saying she was lazy in the diary room and didn't deserve to win. He told Eileen he loved her and spent time when her when he came back into the house and then nominated her for being old. Two faced and sly. Jade got all the flack last week when she had talked about nominations with Nick as BB took away so much from the housemates. When something like this happens it unites the housemates in dislike of someone
