Now I know this isn't quite the same thing in the case of BB but the same tactics are being used. We are getting a continual, drip drip drip of poison from BBOTS and it's totally biased audience and panel night after night against Marc and latterly Helen. None of their accusations have any foundation in fact or evidence. They choose only to show negative things about Marc now to justify their irrational liking of Brian and Nikki? The public and audience along with may of the HMs react as a herd, not wishing to be the odd one out, agreeing and lapping up everything that's fed to them without thinking for themselves. So the words "sheep" are a good analogy to describe them and Mass Hysteria is certainly at work here. Thank goodness thought that many on here along with Harry and Charley are not being fooled.

BBBOTS does nothing to influence my opinions, only lower slightly each day my optimism for the human race.
I think any comparisons with Hitler (that would be Adol
f) are a little bit out of order, although I take your point that the BB fanbase does seem to cross the line from 'panto villain booing' to somthing a bit more worrying at times.
The series (and production team) has taken a much more negative turn over the last couple of years and unfortunately hysteria tends to flourish more significantly in such a context.
All that said, Marc is no innocent. His stated plan was to go in and 'mix it up' and this is what has happened. However, this has consequences and he doesn't like it when he's hit by the fallout.
