It's interesting that in this country there is such a large problem of bullying amongst children, but you have adults thinking the way Lewis G taunts and goads all the time is people being funny and entertaining.

'He's only winding them up'

WHY is winding someone up exceptable

Behaviour like that is only harmless when it doesn't effect someone else's experience

If another HM is being hindered or intimidated then that behaviour is completely unacceptable

What a great example some adults are to their children

[LeatherTrumpet]

He is so funny

He is, i love the way he winds people up

Classic

[joeysteele]

I would hate to be around him out of the house but st times he is hilarious how he winds them up so easily.
He's not bullying, he does all in the open, also they help feed his winding up by responding.
Which he just laughs at.

He will, no matter what, be one of the main memories of this series even if he's out tonight.
A lot of what he says and does is irritating but not really nasty.

I find I can't help but laugh at his antics.

[Elliot]

Everything he does is awful and indefensible, so really the only argument is finding it funny, which like we had cbb18 for that if you wanna rewatch it

[elliebrew]

Winding people up isn't hilarious

Winding people up isn't entertaining

It intimidates other housemates who withdraw to such a degree that people like you think it would be boring without him

He stifles others personalities

And it's not fair!

A few of you really need to grow up

[reece(:]

I agree the antics remind me of school bullying

He’ll be discarded and forgotten just like every other copycat before him has

[BBDodge]

He's gone tonight so who cares. Not even BOTS next year so it's back to bricklaying.

[bitontheslide]

People have vastly differing views on what they find entertaining, and trying to apply rules to the house as they are in real life is totally misguided.

[armand.kay]

I don't like him but I don't think he's a bully

[Black Dagger]

None of it is amusing. A tedious bloke.

[DouglasS]

He is funny. I definitely wouldn't be friends with him in real life and this is not real life. I find him entertaining and charismatic which is why I like him.

And why is Big Brother suddenly about finding a role model for our children... I would say that pretty much everyone that appears on this show is a bad role model, it's ridiculous that people are judging these shows on who sets the best example for infants. I'm not voting the 'nicest' person as the winner to prove a point in society, I'm voting who I am most entertained by/who I like to watch the most.


Also this argument is only used when its the man acting like this. In CBB Natalie caused constant conflict and upset other peoples experiences to the point where Gabby wanted to go home and it made Chloe uncomfortable.. Therefore effecting their experience as you have stated is wrong. Surely the same thread of thought can be used for her then? Oh of course not, because shes an entertaining 'queen'

[LeatherTrumpet]

so this thread is just to insult forum members?

ok

Gobby gabby was AWFUL glad she got booed. And honestly it wasn’t even that I liked Natalie that much it was just that everyone in that house was so caught up in trying to perfect their public image and being all reserved and it would’ve taken a lot to bring even the slightest bit of character out of them. It’s why Cbb is so inconsistent. Quite a few people go on there to clear their name and as such go out of their way to be bores. I mean ffs personality devoid dan managed to not get a single nom and coast to 3rd place despite bringing nothing of worth

I think he is a prize pillock and definitely not right in the head. I know the housemates go through psychological tests to check they are fit to enter the house. I DONT KNOW WHO did it on this twat!!!!!!! Thank God its looking like he is gone tonight

I think the issue is that some viewers see the housemates as 'characters' (such as on tv soap EastEnders) and not as actual real people that have real feelings .


So when they watch Big Brother they view it in a similar way as a tv soap, so that any hurt feelings are just a story point and not real and have no lasting consequence.


What these people need is a reality check, that the people they are watching are real and have real feelings and really get emotionally hurt by the goings on in the house.

[Babayaro.]

I wouldn't call him a bully tbh. But he is a massive prick who isn't funny at all.

[poppsywoppsy]

I watched Lewis G last night and he really is his own worst enemy, if he wasn't to ignorant to see it.

His ugly attitude makes him seem ugly when, in fact, he is a very handsome bloke.

Strip away his faux windup merchant act, replace it with a confident fun person who does not need to be irritating to get noticed and put him in some decent clothes, ditch the baseball cap which makes him look ridiculous and get him some elocution lessons to help him sound less of a druggie.

Then he might be a BB winner.

Far too much to ask but wouldn't it be nice.

[Nancy.]

I don't find him funny in the slightest, just irritating - like a fly that keeps buzzing around the house in the summer.

The perfect solution...
