Big Brother Big Bully
I am appalled at how leslie is treating Sam at the moment in Big Brother.
I know that Sam is a bit of a wet blanket that doesnt do much but i havent the stomach to see Leslie bully her like something ina school playground! In a time when we are doing our hardest to stamp it out of playgrounds why is big brother allowing it to become entertainment. I know that there are arguements all the time but they always consist of two housemates giving it to each other at all times, however the Sam/Leslie is one sided, it is harrasment, threatning behaviour, insults and intimidation and there is very few times Sam retaliates but rather heads to the diary room in tears wishing it would stop.
Should Big Brother step in and warn Leslie about her conduct? Or allow this to go on and show all the thousands of Leslie Wannabes watching to go around mimicking her?

I think Big Bro should have stepped in sooner, yes it is good entertainment from our point of view but I feel the same as you and it was making me very angry that Leslie was intimidating Sam and bullying her like that.
All Leslie has successfully shown is that she is a nasty bully, despite her terrible attempts to patch things up towards the end of last night's show. I don't think I actually heard her apoligise to Sam but did tell Sam what her problem was, pity Sam didn't do the same!
What sort of message is Leslie putting out there? That it's ok to harress and hurt people just 'cos you have taken a disliking to them?
I'm not a Sam fan but can't bear to see anyone intimidated and bullied in this way.

Last week's footage was heavily edited to show Craig in a good light and Mary as the mad witch picking fights with everyone and sulking in bed. Then thsi week they are showing all the footage of Lesley being a bitch but none of Sam's behaviour that is making Lesley retaliate.
When will viewers realise we are all manipulated by Big Brother. They always get the winner they want.
I hope so because I cant stand to watch her anymore. I used to be bullyed quite badley at school and hate seeing anybody else being treated the same way. Sam cant even get out of the house to avoid her. I think it should be stopped. Leslie will not listen to the warning. At least some of the boys are now sticking up for Sam. Leslie needs to grow up and get a life, she is so obviously threatened by Sam and she is making herself look stupid by showing everyone how jeleous she is of her.
I agree with you Louise082, like you I have experienced bullying and it drives me up the wall whenever I am stupid enough to watch this program and I see whats going on. The slithery producers/execs etc or whatever the hell they are at bigbrother, seem to actively encourage and create conflict to try and keep the ratings up. I imagine them all to be deeply unpleasant people.
