The way they treated Steph is actually the first signs of bullying this series and there was no need for so much attention to be brought to them someone should have asked Steph in private

[GiRTh]

Agree. Poor Steph, she's just a bit immature.

[hot2go]

That Essex bitch in the thick of it all again....instigating it again....like encouraging Daniela to quit cause the coward didn't wanna walk out on her own....she will take anyone down with her

[rubymoo]

Agree, tonights viewing was uncomfortable, regardless of what Steph has done tonight was a new low in shaming her for what can be described as natural.

Gemma is such a bitch, i've watched and rewatched the bit where Steph was supposed to have tried to elbow her (Gemma) as they passed through the door and i'm sorry but Gemma completely made it up and went badmouthing Steph to Dani.

Steph is right to feel bullied, and i hope the rest of the viewing public could see what i saw, Gemma being foul and sewing the seeds of nastiness to other housemates, only Christopher seems to have Gemmas number.

Yeah...I have to agree with you. I have not seen any bullying in this series yet...but the way they handled knickers gate was really close to it.

[Raphael]

That was uncomfortable viewing, They ridicule her then have the front to play the victim and do this fake walk out garbage. It's cringeworthy. Regarding Daniellas complaint about the abscess/breath smell, has that been shown on the show or any clips? I don't recall seeing it.

Steph wasn't singled out to start with though tbf, the guys didn't know who they belonged to and were asking everyone.

Childish bunch of muppets though

[Northern Monkey]

I wonder if Jez will go down for gravy now?Or cheese as the case may be.

Yeah, it was surprisingly rough viewing. Steph is no angel. Her gameplan showmance has back-fired and she's too immature to cut her losses. She also overplays her 'little girl lost' routine.

However - she isn't the only actress in there. And nobody deserves the abuse she got tonight. It wasn't so much that the joke got out of hand - such things do happen. I think the guys had the good grace to feel somewhat guilty even though they never singled her out. What was horrible was Gemma and Danielle's attempts to justify their behaviour. Mature, decent, people would see how (perhaps accidentally) cruel they'd been and would have simply apologised. Instead, they tried to justify their behaviour by bad-mouthing Steph as much as possible. That scene in the bedroom where Gemma deliberately stood in Steph's path was particularly uncomfortable. Indeed Steph's reaction to it seemed like the first piece of 100% genuine emotion I heard from her. Whatever you may say about her, her behaviour with Jeremy harms nobody in that house. I suspect that it harms nobody at all, as it's all part of a juvenile attention seeking game plan anyway. However, deliberately smearing and isolating an immature girl is just wrong. I really hope Gemma and Danielle can see their way to offering a genuine apology.

On another note - I was impressed with Jeremy's behaviour. He's also been engaged in Steph's silly attention seeking - however he had the humility to understand her genuine embarrassment and be the only shoulder she had to lean on. Say what you will about him - but he showed more cop on than anyone else tonight.

Agreed 100%

The boys I dont think realised how much of a stick they were handing gemmas gang to beat steph with i mean they didnt know whos it was. Nice to see stephs 'mate' megan standing up for her as well

Personally I dont understand why steph and jeremy enrage them so much most of the time they stay out of everyones way let em get on with it. It reeks of jealousy imo

yea i watched that clip when Steph was walking through about 3 times as well and Gemma made that bs up and even called Steph a prick. Steph wasnt looking to start anything. she walked by Daniella in the kitchen neither said anything which was a good thing. Steph walks in the bedroom even tried to move to her side to get by but Gemma didnt give her any room at all to get by. i agree its easy to see why she feels bullied.

[Dollface]

She left her dirty knickers lying around, the other housemates wouldn't have known about her discharge if she had the decency to clean up after herself

I agree that when two much older women gang up on one younger one then that is bullying (especially when one of those older women is a pathological liar like Collins)
What I don't get is why Danielle is going along with Collins. She was one of the first to call Collins out on her s... stirring and 'loading the gun' scenerios. Yet now she's so far up Collins's bum she's hardly visible.?

True but what kind of people think it's appropriate to make a scene over it? John is in his 40s or 50s, all he had to do is go over to her and have a quiet word, he knew they were Steph's so why not approach the situation with a bit of humility instead of running to Danniella, Gemma and Megan and calling attention to the stain.

[mizzy25]

Only ones to come out looking ok were of course Jez, then Tiffany and Scotty kept out of it
