We can all pretend that we love getting views across and telling it straight but the point is, forums and social media aside, the majority of us don't like confrontation and would quite happily either ignore a situation or have a bitch about it with somebody else rather than go all guns blazing at somebody or something we have an issue with.

The fact that housemates are 'called out' for expressing opinions in the diary room is also ridiculous. The diary room is what it states; a diary. Housemates have the right to use it to offload and discuss/give certain opinions on happenings/events during the day because that's what it's there for. Not everybody needs to always make their opinions and thoughts known, because that's not how all people work.

I don't see why when something is happening between two housemates, especially a daft argument about something stupid, it suddenly becomes about why other people didn't say anything or get involved.

I don't see how Chloe is at all relevant to Helen and Brian's petty spat, nor why she'd be interested in involving herself in it.

No doubt if she had, we'd have the exact same people moaning about her sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong or being to faced etc etc. The usual nonsense.
