Default Freddie and the double standards of forums and the public

Although I'm a Freddie fan and whilst I support him through thick and thin, I realise the guy has behaved like an idiot the last 2 weeks or so (particularly the last week).

Yes - he has grown too arrogant, he has been far too much under Bea's thumb and cringe-making with her

but so what?

Is this really any worse than other HMs

Bea - need I say more - most appalling HM in BB history - lying, manipulative, bullying, turning on her friends when it suits her - an out and out sociopath who should never have made it on the show if BB's psychologists had done their job properly

Lisa - now lying low and appearing to rise above it - but early in the show systematically isolated and bullied Fredie for weeks on end, shouting at him, nearly headbutting him - all now conveniently forgotten by people on here with short memories, always plotting and scheming and showing what kind of person she really is when she was up for eviction

Charlie - has got away with the most this show. Not at all the cheeky chappy he tries to portray. a nasty snitching behind everyone's backs, lying person (ie saying Lisa has never bitched about Freddie) and using emotional blackmail to win - implying he needs the money for his mum in a coma . Again, all glossed over by BB - why is he on the show if his mum is in a coma? A question I guarantee that Davina will never ask him

Sophie - plenty of faults glossed over . Why did she get together with kris in the house - fake romance which BB has said is not allowed and yet was tolerated. Why did BB break its won rules?

Hypocritical bitching of people behind their backs - notably Marcus whom she said she liked and went into the diary room to support but then slagged off behind his back. Again, glossed over by BB

Siavash - did nothing at the beginning of the show when freddie was being badly treated, unfailry accused Tom of stealing a drink cos he was jealous of Noirin fancying him, cheated on his girlfriend on National TV and appears to have got away with it. In any other year would have been hated and evicted to huge boos

Marcus - to be fair, the one character in there who has got hammered each time he has done something wrong. His portrayal has been the fairest - highly flawed but great HM

David - not too many complaints but the guy does seem desperate for acceptance and allying himself with Lisa. The guy has bitched tho as much as anyone and plotted with Lisa - again all glossed over by BB

Rodrigo - the least worst of Lisa's team - massively petulant and childish which to be fair has been shown but to my mind got away with a lot. Think of throwing the bottle at Charlie and pouring oil on his bed. Nevertheless, he has shown he has empathy with people even if he disagrees with them - think his challenging of Noirin's behaviour over Siavash, think of his recent discussion with Bea over her callous treatment of Freddie

So to reiterate - what about Freddie's behaviour is so appalling as compared with Lisa's, Bea's or Charlie's. For me, there is no difference - it is simply that BB have chosen to edit it in such a way that his behaviour looks worst.

And I would suggest this is because they do not want him to win. It happened last year with Rex - any maverick HM who looks like winning is always brought crashing down. They cannot afford to let them win.

Freddie is no worse than a number of the other HMs but is being unfairly singled out.
