Tbh it's been very uncomfortable to watch. Like it's not even jokingly, it's clearly spiteful, yet no one seems to mind it? Akeem's seemed to not mind it but I think it's apparent it's starting to get to him

What are your thoughts on it?

[Elliot]

I feel exactly the same way. It’ll provoke a very strong negative reaction from me if he gets evicted tomorrow. The bullies and scum win

[Elliot]

Everyone on twitter is commenting on how they feel uncomfortable too

[Vicky.]

I don't get peoples issue with him at all. Either they are all getting at him for no reason, or theres a hell of a lot that we haven't been shown that would explain the animosity. But honestly, from what we have seen it seems a bit like he is being picked on. But he can handle himself anyway so thats not a worry as such. I do think theres a large chance of Lewis getting very pissed again and actually swinging for him. Anger issues.

[Amy Jade]

In the task room I couldn't work out if it was just banter but I think Lewis and Cameron were being rude, Akeem was trying really hard and they both talked down to him so much.

It wasn't nice to watch at all

Good!
And in response to your above comment, precisely it's gonna give Lewis, Cameron, and Tomasz so much satisfaction and I don't look forward to it

Yeah Lewis is too volatile
From a few of the noms he got it was sorta apparent he must be doing something to provoke some tension, but I find it interesting how we've seen nothing offensive from Akeem, and I don't see BB pushing for an Akeem win, so I wonder if, and in which case why, they'd edit out some of his less favourable moments

Yeah, Cameron and Lewis bitching about Akeem, plus the fact they seemed genuinely angry with him, made me realise how serious it is

[rusticgal]

They have ALL bitched about Akeem from day one...led by Thomasz and Cameron...
Then when Lewis argues with him...it's ALL Lewis's fault
Cameron's comment to Akeem in the task room was out of order when he said Akeem was picked because he is going on Friday...uncalled for.
Thomasz has slagged off Akeem since day one, behind his back apart from week one when he called Akeem a liar time and time again to his face when he said he was game playing.
They have all nominated him for the last 3 weeks...
Tonight was fuelled by drink and if I'm honest I found it hard to understand what either were talking about...

[Vicky.]

I think the hatred comes from when he was coin leader tbh. That got a bee in Tomasz bonnet which still hasn't left despite Akeem not being top for a while now, and Tomasz has been dropping poison, which has led to the treatment of Akeem that we see.

In short, I don't think its anything Akeems actually done, I think its Tomasz' random hatred of him.

Though I could be wrong of course.

I think Akeem acted a bit self righeous and smug when he was top of the leader board in the coin department and that got some of the housemates backs up making them want to take him down a peg or two. Hes a nice enough lad but I find it hard to warm to him

That being said Lewis and Cameron were totally wrong tonight Lewis despised Lewis G then started disliking Hussain and in the past week or so its Akeem. He is a train wreck at the moment. I certainly did find it very uncomfortable to watch.

[Jack_]

It's a weird one. Akeem is your stereotypical "nice guy" but I can definitely understand how some of the smugness must get annoying? Like, that whole laminate charade and then apologising to Isaac right after nominations had ended (which was HILARIOUS btw) were such transparent Good Guy moves. And the stuff like whistling and thinking out loud would probably annoy me too...

I think the stuff in the task room is banter though, he joins in and all three of them are laughing. They get on for the most part but alcohol and a few underlying issues and that's where the argument stemmed from

[Nancy.]

I have to say, Cameron seems to be getting worse with Akeem. I didn't like him pulling faces and making snidey comments while he was speaking to Issy in the tub. It reminded me of the school playground and I was quite disappointed in Cameron, tbh. Lewis basically told Akeem to stop prattling on like lads often do when they're drunk, but Cameron pulls Akeem to bits when he's sober.... much like Tomasz does and I don't like that.

[BBDodge]

He's not topped the leader board in over a week but he still acts like he runs the house.

Totally agree, especially Cameron who picks on Akeem at every opportunity the spoiled brat!

[Vicky.]

I do think that even though Lewis was overly aggressive tonight, Cameron behaves much worse. Yeah Lewis argued, but Cameron just pick pick picks all the ****ing time.

Yes, he can't seem to go a day without having a go at Akeem and he seems to be getting worse.

[tanussa]

in the task akeem did seem to take the unappointed leader roll. couldnt work out why he seemed to be in charge all the time. ever since he was top of the leader board he acts as if hes top dog. I think that had to wind lewis & cameron up & it did appear the thinkers had been drinking wine all day through into the evening, so a lot of that was booze induced. something BB craftily do to stir up a good storyline, get the HMs drunk.

Both Lewis G and Hussein deliberately set out to wind Lewis F up for no reason...if someone did that to you wouldn't you dislike them too?

Yes exactly...why did they let them drink wine during a task?

[Amy Jade]

I agree even though the big argument was Akeem v Lewis I blame Cameron for most of the nastiness.

He was egging Lewis on and both he and Akeem were drunk (not that it is an excuse but most people are a bit ott when they have had a drink) wheras Cameron doesnt drink so his actions were pretty shady imo

The problem for Lewis F is that he has had issues with Lewis G, Hussain, Anamelia, Kay, Tomasz, Isaac, and now it's Akeem.

How many more people can Lewis F take on until the public realise that he is the problem?

He will take on whoever he has a legitimate problem with...do we really want to watch the likes of Zoe, Cian, Tomasz, Sian who have problems with other housemates but just make sly comments with their besties and not confront the issue?...I don't.

[Garfie]

I think the dislike of Akeem did begin when he had the most big coins, as it isn't obvious that he is doing anything else worth mentioning to antagonise others so much.

Tomasz and Cameron did have the initial dislike of Akeem, because they believed him to be a game player. However, Tomasz's relationship seems to have improved greatly with Akeem- even when he voted for him this week, his reason was something like he knew he would beat Tomasz in a physical challenge. He can't be blamed for others' dislike of Akeem as they all have their own minds.

Lewis and Cameron were definitely pushing and provoking Akeem today, and both seemed pretty unpleasant- they are clearly feeding off each other in their targetting of him.

My view of Lewis has been deteriorating as the weeks have gone by, but I've tried to be understanding as he clearly has some issues. However, his behaviour tonight has made me feel enough is enough.

Lewis definitely has some good characteristics, but his negative traits are now seriously outweighing any positives for me. I'm now finding it difficult to see him as anything more than an unpleasant messed up little man, who seems to develop extreme hatred of some people well out of proportion to anything they've done.

I do wonder if people would have been so tolerant of him for so long if he had looked like Tomasz?

This sums up where I'm at with Lewis now.

Every individual is responsible for their own actions though, and Cameron cannot be blamed for Lewis' choice of actions in the pool, no more than Lewis can be excused as he'd been drinking. In all honesty, Lewis yet again displayed behaviour that he's been guilty of on far too many occasions before.

My point being is that he has issues with a lot of the Housemates, I mean the way that he spoke to Isabella in that episode was appalling imo.

And I'm not saying that I want Lewis F to be evicted, but I do strongly dislike how he sees himself as a saint and how it's even being encouraged by the show for the public to see him in that light, it's just not healthy the way that he behaves imo.
