You are to brilliant posts, what Julie is to Alzheimer's.

The OP is definitely watching a different CBB to me.

Well, your own comments on Julie aren't exactly saintlike:

……Ugly…. A face like a wrinky arse…. Myra Hindley MK2 …a demented old ****** wit…common as muck…. a ******ing moron… a disgusting cow. You are entitled to your opinion of course, but I’m wondering what exactly does she say that bothers you?

How is Martin a snake? All he's done is clued up the two imbeciles (Harvey and Ashley) to Julie's ****-stirring and nastiness. He was perfectly right to do so.

What he hasn't done (up till now) is nominate Julie, I hope he has this time. He's not a snake he's a coward. Spineless.

Martin is a snake because he has flitted from group to group bitching about Julie bitching! Rather ironic eh? He has been carefully dripping the poison in such a way as to not make him look bad & to get everyone to nominate Julie who he obviously sees as his biggest threat to him winning... Half of what Julie says is tongue in cheek anyway, but he has been making out that he thinks she's being serious, when he knows full well she is just doing it for a laugh or for banter & when he's with her HE bloody laughs at what she says & agrees most of the time too!

Exactly. Martin agrees in a non - committal way with everyone he talks to. He is the biggest fence sitter we have seen in any series in a long time - but in his sneaky, understated manner he has especially gone out of his way to put Julie in the firing line.

There was nothing sneaky or understated about it. He said in no uncertain terms what he thought of Julie. What I object to is he didn't have the balls to back it up with a nomination until the crowd turned on Julie.

He's a spineless twat.

She's doing it for laugh or banter? Are you for real?

A lot of it is banter - she wants to entertain us. That's how she is. Her best friend said as much in an interview early on. She's a legend.

Most of it she is yes, she is quite clearly saying bitchy things & she may well mean a lot of what she is saying, but it is obviously done in a jokey banterish way...

He's a snake AND a coward. He slithers about spreading his poison whilst appearing genial and agreeable to everyone and never having an opinion without preceding it with ...I really like so and so, but....

These comments have been said and they go way to far. No wonder some people are being charged with slander. How anyone can say that someone is Myra Hindley MK2 and not be charged is beyond me.
The Moderators should not allow such statements to be put online. I wonder if the person who wrote this knows exactly what Myra Hindley did.

I have to agree with your post. Never mind if I like or dislike a housemate in any BB, hopefully I never come out with anything near as bad as some stuff I have read on forums and such about housemates. Yes, I vent at times, we all do I suppose, but at the end of the day they are just contestants on a show, trying to entertain us. I am not too happy when some of my favourites go, but realise that it is only a gameshow so just know to accept it when they get evicted.

Yes, the vitriol and terms used against a 70 yr old woman who hasn't done anyone any harm on the show have been harsh in the extreme. A lot of the terms target her age – here are some examples of the terms being used:

poisonous old cow
Vile old witch
Horrible, haggard old witch
conniving old hag.
Old twat
Evil old trout
Backstabbing old bitch
venemous old hag

The word 'old' is being used in a disparaging way. It's ageism, pure and simple. Not cool.
