After the clip of Callum ranting about Dexter in the DR was shown on Rylans Sunday show he asked Dan with an astonished/worried look on his face if Callum 'was alright'.
Well may he ask - I think that must be the most disturbing DR clip I have ever seen. The contortions on his face and his movements were pretty scary. I really don't get how he can appear quite normal one minute and the next behave like someone, well, quite frankly, 'not all there'.
I want to like him because I feel sorry for him and just when I'm getting there he goes and acts really weird and kind of sinister again.
I can't believe that anyone seeing his DR Dexter rant wouldn't think that was really weird - even his fans.
He doesn't do himself any favours at all and it's no wonder really that the HM's don't like him. I think even Sam is trying to back off.

I know what you mean, I have felt sorry for Callum for weeks but he is hard to like, Im just hoping he stays in longer than Dexter & Hazel but then he can go for me

I think it's a bit of a sad indictment of our society that if we believe someone is 'not quite right' and possible mentally ill (not saying he is, just that this is the conclusion a lot of people have come to) that this means he should be disliked and shunned.

To be strange, 'weird' and 'not all there' is to be suspect and treated as dangerous.

The statistical reality of course is that people with mental illnesses are far more likely to be the victims of violent attack than the perpetrators. But this doesn't stop us reacting to them with fear, suspicion and dislike. We treat as especially dangerous, people who are really especially vulnerable.

I agree with a lot of what you say here. Society dictates that we all learn the same social behavioral signals in interacting with each other. It's necessary to a degree in that it enables us to understand each other.
When someones body language and social signals are not the 'norm' they make others feel uncomfortable and uneasy. So it's no surprise that the person is mistrusted - it's human nature to want to be with those who make you feel safe and at ease.
The person displaying those traits are not necessarily mentally ill - but there is something amiss.

Creepster Callum is not quite right he needs therapy in my opinion for sure that is why we need to evict him this week for his own good. GET CALLUM OUT !!!

Vanessa · 29-07-2013, 04:51 PM

Callum is lying about things Dexter told him. He wants to turn viewers against him. Some people have picked up on this on DS. He always stares at the camera when he's bitching about Dexter.

johnx · 29-07-2013, 04:51 PM

More to the point is Rylan alright?

Kris · 29-07-2013, 04:59 PM

Reach people reach some more.

Yes, it was expressive and maybe not the way other people might get their point across but by no means was it scarey nor was it disturbing and I don't even believe it qualifies as a rant.

smeagol · 29-07-2013, 05:02 PM

even the twins think he needs therapy. i hope they get a shrink to analyze that drawing he did. as that is pure rage. everyone else drew clouds and eyes and faces he drew a explosion lol. you dont need a degree in psychology to see he needs help.

I disagree with your opinion.

That's alright Jet, I don't agree with most on here. That's just how it goes.

I do think Sam would like to distance himself from Callum and his strange behavior - as i think Sam realises he is being used by Callum in more ways than one - and who can blame him !!

You think so? He's isolated from the housemates because of Callum and that's a shame.

DanaC · 29-07-2013, 05:37 PM

He's isolated from the housemates because he can't hear what is going on and none of them take that into account in their interactions, other than Callum.

Watching Dan talk to him last week was horrible. He wasn't even looking in his direction and was mumbling.

For all his faults (ha! got that in there) Callum is the only one who actually bothers to take Sam's hearing difficulties into account.

Not that he gets any credit for that. In fact, when he was signing to the lad a bit of dialogue he'd missed during a group discussion when jackie was still there, he got pulled up for making a lewd gesture to describe a lewd comment.

You beat me to it. I was pondering the same question. Rylan on X-factor, Rylan on CBB gave me the impression that he was a tad mental so he is hardly in a position to ask if Callum is alright.

Yep. Doesn't matter though because no matter what he does he's just creepy.

If Charlie showed any interest in Callum or if the other HM's liked him and wanted to spend any time with him Sam would be history.

SurfersCreed · 29-07-2013, 05:53 PM

The weirder the better for me.
I LOVE Callum's slightly imbalanced side.

A needy attention seeker if ever I saw one.Perfect for reality tv then.

I agree, I think Sam is only such good friends with him because they is no one else in the house for him to be friends with. I think his normal friends would be typical lads so in a house full of rather camp men he probably saw Callum as the best bet. And to give Callum credit he is really the only 1 that considers Sams disability although I think it's a combination of him feeling sorry for Sam and thinking it will help him win over the public.

I think Sam will really cringe at Callum when he watches the show once he's out

billy123 · 29-07-2013, 06:00 PM

Rylans a lanky streak of useless piss i wouldnt worry about what he says.
Her wont be around long as far as BB is concerned.

We've seen Sam have one on one conversations with most of the other hm's. He has no problem speaking up when he doesn't hear something. What's interesting is when he's talking to someone else and Callum sees it. Callum jumps in and starts speaking for Sam, finishing his sentences, answering the other person's questions before Sam has a chance. That's not looking out for someone, that's being a condescending twit.

Callum wants to keep Sam isolated from the housemates.

I do find many things he does creepy, and that side of him fascinates me, but I also find it disturbing. Other times he is quite normal, and I like that he helps Sam out. He's certainly not all bad as far as I'm concerned. But his weird moments give me the shivers.
