Oh **** the bully word has reared it's ugly head.

I see no bullying so far on this series.

[Crimson Dynamo]

He is like Pete a bit but with none of his charm and humour

[sampvt]

The energiser bunnyhas run out of gas now nobody wants to associate with him as he is loopy and toxic. He ostracised himself and he will walk, as I predicted on the first night.

[Tom4784]

Talking about someone isn't bullying.

Marco's the only person in the main house who has shown an aggressive and potential violent streak over nothing. He's insufferable so I can't blame people for having had enough of him.

[MarcusMel]

I'm thinkng Marco is like the HM who hid food in the dustbins and got ignored because he was so overwhelmed by the experience. Got thrown out of the house as I recall.

Didn't you feel sorry for him how they were starting to slag him off behind his back.

It's like what kids do at school. I'm not Marco's biggest fan but I hate treatment like that.

That's out of order.

Let's face it. Marco's only 'crime' is that he is loud and he had consensual fumblings with Laura.

He hasn't actually said anything nasty about anyone.

No, they all talk behind each others backs, it happens all the time in bb, that's not bullying.

[Ross.]

Oh come on

He behaves like a child how can you blame people for being sick of his **** and walking away, he makes people uncomfortable and I commend the housemates for not walking from the house yet because of him

Exactly. He isn't constantly bitching about anyone in there. He usually just minds his own business or hangs out with his friends in there. No matter what he does they always complain about him

It's a little late this season, don't you think? Usually we've had a long debate on bullying by now. I was starting to hope we'd get through a series without it, but no. It's like expecting to get through a series without someone telling me I'm jealous because I don't like a particular female...

He had a go at Georgina for 'shouting' when she did nothing wrong. He picked that argument to belittle and talk down to her. He acts like a curious 5 year old with the way he tries to break mics and cameras. Its easy to see why they've had enough of him.

Bullied? Oh, god, find a new buzzword please.

Last night he was minding his own business and they still talked behind his back.

Im not sure if thats worse than them continuing being mean to his face, what would have wanted them to do? Start abusing him because he sat near them?

[Vanessa]

The more i see the housemates bitching behind his back but nice to his faace the more i like Marco. I hate bullying of any kind.

because you didn't like him at all before this outrageous behaviour

I did and this kind of behaviour makes me like him more.

To be honest, if someone irritates any of us we are likely to need to vent those feelings. I really don't think anyone could honestly say they've never moaned about someone's behaviour behind their backs at some point, because we all need the opportunity to get things of our chest and it's better that way than letting feelings build up inside until they explode and cause a massive confrontation.

Marco is loud, hyperactive and irritating - sometimes people want a bit of time to chill, and the last thing they need is someone like that bouncing around noisily when they want a bit of time out. Hence, they understandably walk away.

A couple of them also suggested they were uncomfortable with him invading their personal space and being too touchy feely - Marco seems to lack basic social skills and has difficulty reading or recognising the non verbal clues others give off.

To top it all they've seen him being aggressive and heard him threatening to use violence towards a security guard. Put all this together and you have someone that others are going to start feeling wary of as it makes him exhausting and unpredictable.

Expressing their feelings to those they trust is not bullying or ostracising.

He isn't the only one who has behaved aggressively in there. But no question he will be isolated, they always need a scapegoat in there.

As always, this vile relentless bullying has now made me want marco to win.

[Jack_]

He's definitely being bullied on this forum that's for sure

Poor Marco
