The boys were already nominating the girls, that had been decided with Harvey.
Why didnt she go to the girls & ask if the accusations against them were unfair? Probably because what she has seen suggests it wasnt unfair.

See link below which lists all the charactersistics of a bully, which is what Julie is:

http://www.bullyonline.org/workbully/serial.htm

Not the bully word again. My daughter was bullied at school for years and then at university because she was so intelligent. Believe me Julie is not a bully. Maybe unpleasant behaviour but it is not bullying. Asking a man if he is being played cannot be bullying of the female concerned. This only happened once that I saw. Bullying has to be repeated attacks. You may call a friend a few names because you are mad at them. That is not bullying.
CBB is a game and every one who goes in has supposedly been assessed as to whether they can play the game.
If a contestant is nice to you and then noms behind your back does not amount to bullying. That is the game and a risk for the person because the audience will turn against someone who is blatantly two faced.

Well said. Why do people after 12 years still not understand the word game? Look at Coleen crying in the Diary Room tonight. If she is not gameplaying she should not have gone into the house. She thought she could do the same as Denise. Well no Denise liked fun.

If you've been through this experience with your daughter and if you've read the link, you will understand that it's how the victim feels that defines whether it's bullying, or not.

I don't make this claim about Julie lightly, as I've experienced this form of bullying myself.

Rhian's face on seeing Julie nominating her spoke volumes. The girls have/had no idea how nasty the old crone is being towards them.

People keep going on and on about how horrible the girls where to the boys, all of which knew from the start that they hadn't a chance, but the worst behaviour is coming from the oldest HM. Yet she will be forgiven, because some see her as a soap god, or they think her nasty side is funny, while others dislike what the younger girls do for a living so whats said/done to them is fine.

Julie might be 70, but she really is a dislikeable character...

This..... completely agree only you have said it much better than I did on another thread.
