All the hatred that Tulisa has been putting on Chris and Caroline Flack putting her own digs in, surely this is bullying!

It isnt tolerated in the playground and it should be tolerated on live TV for all to see!

When you start to see bullying everywhere, it's a sign that you've been watching far too much reality TV!

'Cos it's Christopher, it's deemed okay.
The judges, presenters, and the chavvy crowd all think it's fine. Just goes to show them in a bad light.

Especially when he was put through to judges houses. Dont they realise, the saddos that the more they go on the more they are making him a winner. Time for a wakeup call me thinks.
Caroline especially makes me sick.

The abuse has seeped into the Digital Spy forums too...

Caroline didn't ask any of the other saved contestants those questions. She just loves picking on Christopher

It's not bullying.

What so putting down someone constantly is perfectly acceptable is it?

I think it is deplorable, the level of abuse that poor old Christopher has to put up with.

Mischa B last year now this.

If Chris wasnt my fave before, he is now !

In context of them appearing on a talent show in which they line up to be judged, rubbishing them is par for the course. It's not bullying.

but when the presenter i,e, Caroline Flack is doing it as well that takes the p***

Maybe a good idea to cover your eyes up, more than likely going to be a backlash in the media . It's going to get worse

Who says the Op sees bullying everywhere. They're are harassing Christopher, that's plain to see and that is bullying.
I question people on here who seems to think they are the criterior for what is bullying. Someone's obvious distress = being bullied.

Not bullying, but they (Cowell's minions : Tulisa, Caroline etc) are doing everything in their power to get Chris off the show.

It might not be bullying but I find it very uncomfortable to watch and if I was Christopher I may feel like I was being bullied a little

Anything that actually fits the definition of the word "bullying"?

You are exactly right. Tulisa and Caroline are in a position of power, they are not offering a critique of Chris (which would be acceptable), but are clearly harassing him when he is in no position to really 'defend' himself, thus they are bullying him. But perhaps this is being true to your 'urban roots' for Tulisa.

He's a grown man just getting a bit of Flack() on a TV reality talent show for god's sake. If people think that is bullying, they don't know what bullying is.

"Harassing"? Just lol.

And would your snarky comments about Tulisa's urban roots not constitute "harassing" too? Tulisa certainly is not here to defend herself.
