Let's pretend they are all at school and the three of them went up to another kid out with their group and started ruffling his hair and dry humping him whilst they all constantly call him names and laugh at him.

Would that be classed as bullying?

[Tom4784]

It's similar to what Hellbeast did. She'd poke and prod for a reaction and then act like a victim when the true victim had enough.

It's bullying through and through.

[Visage]

Interesting how they are targeting the older housemates. Why not go for Chloe, Aubrey or Ricky?

[fitz2k2]

welp those are ur bullies n everyone thought saira was the bully

[starry]

James is the target this week, and with Bear not up they'll think they've got free reign. Hopefully James keeps holding back from anything serious.

[RhysJones]

I can't bear any of the four, they need to get rid of the four of them. I thought them targeting the older housemates is disgusting. But when they're targeting Saira it's fine, when they target James then people get pissed off. Disgusting

Most people on here disliked their game in the garden and singling out Saira as the target.
In the discussion with Saira in the kitchen that wasn't bullying..it was 3 people making a point about Sairas condescending ways and patronising them and labelling them. Saira bought that on herself and played the victim because she didn't like what she heard.
With James they were deliberately winding him up...just like they tried to do with Saira in the garden. James told them to back off but they carried on. James should have ignored it (but many of us like him, wouldn't have)...and he reacted and that's what they were goading him for...a reaction. James was probably still annoyed with the pack mentality from the night before with Saira...he probably enjoyed throwing that coffee over Bears head.
James has been the only one big enough to tell those idiots they were out of order...( Sam did too sorry) everyone else like Biggins and Grant who are old and wise enough said nothing because they are weak and don't want to find themselves targeted.
If Biggins was sitting on the BOTS panel he would be slating them...he will only do it in the diary room....so roll on diary room exposure.

I havent read one post where people thought it was fine that Marnie targeted Saira....I think she should go for her but not by flashing her tits at her...and as for Bear going for Saira he was completely right to confront her....she turned it into the victim chant that people choose to believe or not...but all I saw was a guy telling her what he thought about her behaviour, which is exactly what Saira herself does constantly to other people.

I think Marnie was fine tonight, she explained herself and wasn't involved in the James V Bear thing.

I think she knew she had done wrong and she said sorry - What more can she do?

Marnie does seem to know she was wrong and does seem sorry she upset Saira....she apologised and unless she repeats it then fare play to her...she's lucky BB didn't throw her out based on previous similar experiences but Saira didn't say she felt violated and BB have seen it as OK so we can only accept that...the girl says sorry and she said it alone not to impress the others so I believed her,

[Amy Jade]

Saira seems to have forgotten she's not on Loose Women. She really doesn't come across to me like she's trying to get to know people, she seems to be interviewing them...I honestly think I'd be wary of her too.

[armand.kay]

Saira really tried to milk tittie gate for all it was worth. Like when she was like to James "oh I'm gonna start crying again" when it was clear she didn't really even care that much.

[the truth]

time for a serious BB warning, scum

[armand.kay]

BB should kick Saira out for pretending to be bullied.

Regardless of age, or age difference, if someone makes it clear that they feel uncomfortable about you touching them, you should accept that and stop, no matter what your intentions were.

[hot2go]

I like James but if he doesn't lighten up a little bit then he's gonna keep getting teased....it's human nature and it's the nature of the show.

Being malicious and deliberately targetting people is not the nature of the show, you could argue Aaron was teasing Joel and was not the least bit malicious, but he got the boot.

If that's the case then it's human idiocy.

[Xtopher]

hating them.

[the truth]

i think jade goodys crew were worse but we will see where this goes next..jade goodys mob mocked dirk benedict having cancer, alcoholism and impotence due to cancer and absolutely no one on the show or the studio even mentioned it

How many threads have there been about Ricky and Katie so far ? People can quote the rule book all they like but if BB throw everyone out who are well behaved then it will be a total snore fest. Bear is a total wind up merchant that's annoying everyone in there, perfect housemate, keep him in as long as possible I say. And keep that winging face ache Saira in too cause she's a royal pain in the arse.

Usually I would agree that we want to keep the ones who cause chaos in the house. But Bear is just unbearable. I find him, Lewis, Heavy D and Marnie just irritating and annoying. in the extreme. I don't find their brand of entertainment my bag at all.
The unlikable Saira is far more interesting, as is James, and I think Renee and Aubrey are going to be great too, in time.

..yeah I totally agree, Jet...Saira even with how intrusive and direct she can be and I get that she's not someone who it would be easy to warm to, is much more interesting as a housemate than any of the 'squad', who I just find atm have nothing but 'surface' to them and that has no level of sustained interest...it was interesting I thought what James said..'some people who are fragile but seem anything but on the outside'...or some such thing..?...(I felt that maybe he was referring to Saira who on the outside appears a 'strong independent lady' etc but I think that it's obvious that she's anything but and far from, which is what makes her so intriguing as well....hmmmm, Renee and Aubrey I'm not sure about yet..but there is some depth to them so I hope that they get good airtime and ughhhhh, if we're going to have a Lewis and Marnie showmance now....
