Just want to see what most people think
at the moment i am undecided

[reece(:]

borin bully

[Stacey.]

i think Its just a bit of friendly banter
but i dont like it when Vinnie is fine to stephens face,
but behind his back he is mean

[chuff me dizzy]

What you talking about Willis ?

[RealityTVisGreat]

I think it's the only way he knows, he is trying to dominate them, but it's up to Alex to stop him, which he easily could, but doubt he will

[Brad.]

Friendly banter

[WOMBAI]

He does have a tendency to throw his weight around! Bit of a bully I think!

[chuff me dizzy]

Are we talking about my beloved Vinnie ? hes lovely and having a laugh ,lighten up folks

[pixee]

*sigh* sick of saying this lol

Footballers do this kind of put down banter it is part of team sport and I assume because Alex is a sportsman he feels it is part of getting to know you.

I don't know how Alex will take it as it goes on as his sport is very much one on one, but I can understand how it might appear harsh but it is just part of team sports behaviour.

Doesn't make it alright or excusable!

lol I can't believe some people think this a genuine way a grown man of Vinnie Jones background would "have a go" at someone, have none have you playing in any kind of team sport?

I totally accept it could be taken the wrong way which is how some of you are taking it so it doesn't bode well for him.

[setanta]

It's footballing/sporting banter which I'm well used to myself but occassionally you have to stand up and give as good as you get. Unfortunately for Alex that's a bit difficult, especially when you're on live tv and don't have experience with the cams and don't want to end up looking like a fool. I personally think that Vinnie should cool down a bit because it's not the right enviroment to be going overboard with that kinda thing and he could go too far.

[Deliverance]

Friendly banter and a good craic at times. I think Vinnie is funny and he is kind of keeping some kind of reality going on in the house over the ridiculous egos that might get out of control.

At the same time he is being sneaky by bitching behind peoples backs which brings me back to it being a passive aggressive bullying thing that is going on. Of course we all know that BB editing is dubious as well though so it is anyones guess as to what is the real nature of the Vin man.

Genuine bully or Banter man having a larf? I'm still undecided at this point.

Spot on, yeah I think Alex is taking it literally and so on so clearly isn't used to it so he should stop.

[abcd]

i quite like vinny jones, and enjoy his films, but he needs taking down a peg or 10 too be honest, poor alex is treading on egg shells every time vinnie takes the piss out of him or interrigates him, id love him to snap

I think that is just making excuses for him. If it is making Alex feel uncomfortable - then it is unacceptable!

Exactly. Vinnie has to realise that he should relax now, otherwise I'll end up calling him a tit.

[Clockers]

Alex training comes in handy because it keeps him calm. Vinnie is pushing his buttons, hoping for a reaction. Vinnie is confrontational person. Great TV though.

Yep that is exactly what I feel, as mentioned previously he was almost killed in a bar fight by just this type of behaviour. BB needs to be careful on this. Vinnie was picking on Alex again tonight, it was straight talk but it was also personal.

If Alex snaps Vinnie might find himself picking up some teeth off the floor on the way out of the house!

Saying that though if Alex turned around and started questioning Vinnie in a suttle way about his own personal life i.e. the hard man image etc and the pitch ball grabbing incident etc in a funny way then they would probably actually get on better.

It could go either way.

Vinnie Jones has played too many 'hard men' action roles. he thinks he is jugernaught etc.
He beleives he is the only genuine celebrity in the house.

He has read all the nonsense about peter andre and jordan and is brainwashed into thinking peter andre is some kind on prince. I beleive he thinks by knocking Alex he is bonding with the public. He reakons he is mr daily mirror tell it how it is.

I think he is rather boring and IS being a bully, i care not if thats how it is in a football team. Same reasoning could be said of the school playground. Fact is he is acting just like a bully. Alex is unsure of what to do as he is all new to the celebrit circus.
I think it is not making vinnie jones look nice with his digs and snide remarks.

Would be great if he really pushed it and got ALex to take it to the mat like he did with dwane or whatever that boring bloke is that he punched on the head.

Vinnie is a meanie who thinks he is better then everyone else.


ps -I love Sovv! !!!!

[Chels]

christ the word bully is slapped around far, FAR too easily on here.

He should just realise that it's not working now and back down just a tad. Otherwise he's a moron.
