I watched every night to be able to report the bullying to OFCOM. I made numerous complaints and so did other people. I eventully found my way onto this forum to keep the pressure up by making comments about Gary's apalling treatment. I would have stopped watching CBB as soon as Gary was evicted. As it happens Gary won so all my writing on here, and to OFCOM was worthwhile.

The bullying was horrendous and very difficult to watch. This CBB has been a wake-up call, it's shown the very worst human traits in action. I am even more convinced now than ever that under the right circumstances seemingly nice people can become evil and lose all inhibitions and resort to very cruel and barbaric behaviour. George Orwell's Animal Farm comes to mind!
