I think they've gone too far. I don't like to see anybody ostracised, whoever it is. Science can be very loud and shouty, no doubt about it, but when people talk to him in a one to one conversation, he does listen and takes on board what they are saying, even if he doesn't agree with them. It's become a bit of a witch hunt, which I think is cruel. People are also twisting things he says (such as Kemal), and I also think people are putting words into his mouth (Kemal accused of telling Derek to 'shut his gay mouth' and Eugene said that it was Craig he said it to. However, when Science asked when he was supposed to have said it and who he was actually supposed to have said it to, none of them could say when it was). Even if they don't want to have anything to do with him, it doesn't cost anything to at least be civil to someone. (Having said that, on the live feed yesterday, Science, Kemal and makosi were all talking in the garden, and seemed to be getting on ok for the bit that I saw. Also Orlaith and Science were having a good talk in the living room during last night's highlights show).

I'd also say that although I don't like Makosi, I do admire her for still talking to Science, against the wishes of the other sheep in there. I don't think she is only doing it because she heard him get cheered by the crowd. Derek and Eugene also got good cheers from the crowd, so she knows that they are popular as well, and it would be a lot easier for her to align herself with them.
