Mario and Lisa have confessed that they are worried certain housemates are bullying Mikey.

As the pair sat in the bath tonight, they talked about how they thought the group was treating the blind Scotsman.

Speaking about Dennis and Sylvia, Mario said: "They're picking on a defenceless chap. A bully never picks on another bully. They're very devious and crafty."

He added that he had heard "a few snipes" from Dennis already and said he believes the pair's behaviour will get worse.

Mario said: "There's a standoffish nature to the lads in here. I don't think Dale has even spoken to [Mikey] yet."

Their comments came after Mikey was reprimanded by Sylvia last night after putting on one her thongs during Mario's stag party.

Mikey offered to give the underwear back but Sylvia was unimpressed, shouting: "You don't go around putting yourself in other people's knickers."

alex is pure evil

[CassetteFinger]

Mario and Lisa want to be seen as the caring parents.

[Matt]

If they were acting the same way to another housemate who isn't blind, would it be regarded as bullying?

Is Alex the one they reported in The Sun, saying that she has a major crack habit, and would go crazy in the house without it?

it was weed...but if she smokes every day that might be why she's so irritable. Or maybe she's just a a bitch.


not that I'd know about that kind of stuff.

Alex Should Have Took The Knicker Incendent As A Joke. Mikey Didnt Do it Meanly. He Cant See What It Was Anyways.

So what did he think he was wearing? A tea cosy?! He knew they were someones knickers He's blind, not stupid. Give him some respect in that acknowledging that fact.

Alex shouldn't have took the knicker incident as anything - it wasn't her place to get involved. It was between Mikey and Sylvia - not Mario and Alex.

[Captain.Remy]

Here we go again ! So now when a blind person has an argument with someone else, it is considered as bullying. Michael may be blind, but he's not stupid: he knew it was Sylvia's knickers.

[KS2007]

He's not sstupid he picked some knckers up and its common sense you dont put someone else's pants on especially someone you met 3 days ago aad this is the reason why I didnt want Michael in the house because he's bieng pussy footed around and most likely to use the sympathy card.

That's not bullying, they just told him that you don't do that kind of things: if he was not a blind person, they would have done the same. Blind or not, he should not act this way, not all the blind persons act like that, just like Pete: people who have Tourettes don't act as pathetic as him and are not all freaks.

[GiRTh]

Who in their right mind would ever want to be perceived to be bullying a blind guy? This is ridiculous. Mikey was out of order and some of the housemates voiced their objection. That is all that happened. Later on in the evening Miket tried to explain himself and, for me, did a good job. Nobody got up to object to his apology. Who bullying him? I dont see it.

[stephanieisstunning]

I'm sorry but that's appalling..
I hope he gets evicted real soon

[callumben]

I think the ghetto bint had a point. For Mikey to take some one pants and where them without asking the owner show a lack of respect dont you think.

This is funny, because yesterday after watching the highlights I said to my friend that I thought she looks like a crack*****.

[Splintered]

Mario is pissing me off . He keeps thinking Mikey's blindness means he is mentally disabled and like a child who needs to be protected. He mayb be blind but that doesn't mean everybody has to pussy foot arond him and like him. He bitched about Steph, so it can be argued he is bullying Steph then !

LOL

And you base that on what exactly?

There is something about Alex that does not seem quite right ie the way she went off because she couldn't get into the diary room then her rant about her sore throat then her rant about not being a bunny girl. She does seem rather irritable and very angry. You never know.

[Matt10k]

Mario made himself look like a right plank when he tried to excuse Mikeys behaviour because he's blind, it's ridiculous. I think it's actually a bit patronising to blind people. It's almost like he's saying 'oh, Mikeys blind so you have to expect things like this from him'.

[Dan_]

Mario's just trying to paint this picture of Michael being the harmless victim that just doesn't know what he's upto.Michael knows full well what he's doing and Syliva was justified in having a go at him.

[Spike]

Mario and Lisa seem nice and caring but Mario is getting annoying with it
Alex is targeting him, there was no need for her to go onto him on last nights highlights

Nonsense. He defended Michael, as the behaviour was unacceptable, regardless of whether Michael was blind or not. And his 'bitching' about Steph was REACTIONARY, as a result of her disgusting and foul reactions to him. Hence, it cannot be bullying, whereas Alexandra's behaviour is bullying as she is being PROACTIVE in her behaviour towards Michael, and her behaviour was disproportionate to Michael's actions.

[GiRTh]

Alex's behaviour may have been disproportionate to Mikeys actions towards her, but in terms of what he did I thought the overall reaction was entirely justified.
