Well, I guess it depends what your opinion of bullying is - and this is something that comes up almost every series. Was Shilpa bullied? I think definitely yes. I don't believe that she herself was a bully though. As for who started the argument - I think Shilpa's point about the girls using X amount of Oxo cubes was fair. In a house full of people, using 2, 3, or 4 cubes (Jade seemed unable to remember how many they had used) was inconsiderate. Shilpa was however wrong when she said that the cubes were the only thing she had ordered. But she did take that back.

I meant her apology to Shilpa.
Cool! I've found a single sentence that someone else agrees with!
Yeah, it does. Meh, there's been examples in every season, pretty much. But there's always raging debates from both sides whenever it's mentioned. I don't think it's fair to say that the three girls were bullies and not include the other group, too. But perhaps it's difficult to see anything else now, because every newspaper has singled them out, and the isolated footage has been repeated literally hundreds of times over. The status quo is to blame them and nobody else, and it's damn near impossible to break that. I think it ended up as 3 they'd used, because there had been four and there was only one left? That's one cube each, which really isn't anything to make a song and dance about. It's not as though they'd sneaked out of the bedroom and emptied the fridge and cupboards for a midnight feast, is it? It was 3 stock cubes, and it was food they had just as much right to use as any other hm's. So I thought her complaining about it was absolutely ridiculous. And that was their initial reaction, too - why is she making such a needless fuss over it? But she wouldn't leave it alone, and it became an argument.
