Right another view of Petes tirade against Traci.

First off I want to say that he did go too far , and a lot of what it said was not his usual 'truth' telling , but assumptions of her life style.

O.K when the nominations were annouced Pete was the first to tell Traci , not to take it seriously and try to comfort her.

Traci over reacted hugely to being nominated and this whole situation ( including the reason for the punishment) is a throw back to Faria's racist public comment , which was wrong and the way she let Traci and Dennis take a lot of the blame for it was also wtong.

Traci was tearful , on and off after the nomination process and it was this that was bearing on her mind.

Petes tirade , was a reaction to her L.A. mannerisms and him confronting it head on.He has previously been accused on the board of doing this behind her back.It was never racist,as has been stated ,but did go too far.He also invited Traci to confront him if she so wished , but she added fuel to his fire by saying he was lovely , his hair was great etc etc.

She laughed at most of the outburst and was free to walk away or tell him to shut up.The other HM's who witnessed the outburst seemed equal parts amused and shocked.Preston and George later saying he went too far.

Her crying towards the end was an edit , she was drunk and over emotional at being nominated.Her main concern through out the rest of the night was why should any one nominate her and she never once raised the outburst or seemed effected by it.

The highlites show finished at about 2am and the HM's were still up and about for hours.

Later traci joined Pete and Chantelle in the kitchen ,where they were laughing and pete was trying to convince her not to take the nominations too seriously and lighten up about it.She was joking about the Like/love comparrisons and stated that Pete will win the show because he is so entertaing.

Traci later went to the bedroom ,where she kept Maggot nd Chantelle awake for ages with her uncomprehension of being nominated.Her tears were always for nomination and the Pete comments never seemed to be an issue.

As I say I am not saying Pete was right in all he said or how he said it , but one adult expressing views and opinions to another adult does not always automatically have to raise the word bullying and sometimes the highlites show does'nt tell the whole story.
