It's not bullying. It's not nice but it's not bullying. People are so obsessed with the word bullying that genuine cases are now getting either drowned in a sea of nonsense or being made to seem less significant through the overuse of the word.
Bullying in the workplace
2 of 2
I'm not a fan of Chris (think the songs he sings are kinda boring, but at least he can sing), but Tulisa and caroline do seem to be specifically targetting him with their comments and responses.
Wouldn't quite go as far as the word "Bullying", but definitely targeted attacks.

Somethings I've felt it hard to watch X Factor because of the quite obvious bullying of Christopher. And you just know next week is gonna be a whole new game of insults seeing as how "only 16" got the boot!!!

I'm not in a position of power sweetie, so no, it's not.
I dare say Tulisa has access to the internet, so could well be here to defend herself if she wished.

I don't think it's her feedback, but her comments about (not to) Chris on xtra factor that are the problem, she was just getting a little nasty...the same way Gary got nasty about (not to) Rylan when Gary lost his acts...

Yes, I agreed, but it's not feedback she's always giving. It's usually a comment that has nothing to do with the song, or performance. So that's not feedback, that's a personal attack of the individual, on the end of her sharp tongue.

So, just to clarify, it definitely isn't a competition based on singing ability then?

That's right it's now called the sympathy factor

Which says more about the nature of reality TV than it does the viewer.
This is why so many people are voting for Christopher, so many people are convinced that he is being 'bullied' that he probably has a huge sympathy vote which will carry him through to the final and might even push him onto the win. I can't comment on Caroline Flack and what she has said or done to him because I don't watch the Xtra Factor but with regards to Tulisa I don't think she has done anything wrong.
It's interesting that last week Nicole was actually the first judge to make the comment about Chris being a bit kareoke yet on here all the backlash was towards Tulisa. It's also interesting that many of those complaining about the 'bullying' that Chris is going through go on to call Tulisa a 'chav' or a 'bitch'. Don't moan about bullying and then make remarks like that about someone, it's a bit hypocritical if you ask me.
He's being JUDGED, not bullied.

Not necessarily. I mean you might be locked up in a high security prison with murderous thugs all around you in a confined space who are high on drugs and looking for someone to beat up.

Getting beaten-up would be the least of my worries in such a place!

Truthful feedback, don't make me laugh. For weeks she has been saying its an entertaining show when Gary's acts were going down the tubes. Now her little angel has gone it has suddenly become a singing comp. truthful. She wouldn't know the truth if it bit her on the backside. This is the same woman who lied to her fans on twitter stating it wasn't her in the video. She and her puppet glove Louis have gone after Chris from the start when they found out how popular he was.

so if you got all the crap Chris has had to take from the three muppets, from Caroline and the set up calls that always ask him does he feel guilty for getting through each week, but not one to rylan. Being put in the bottom three each week even though we are told its in no particular order, but we all know Chris has been out in the front from the start. The way they try and humiliate him all of the time. Calling him Chris baloney. He gets it on this morning, Lorraine in all of the papers from leaked sauces from inside the X factor . You would think this is normal , none of the other contestants are getting this crap but me, it must be how the show goes. Me thinks you need to take them rose tinted glasses off. If I had a work colleague going through what Chris has had to go through each week, I would advise him to go straight to the union for victimisation , and bullying,no question about it .

^ This is a joke right?
It's just a load of panto, faux-drama nonsense surrounding a talent show.
I know it's splitting hairs, but Christopher is not getting bullied by the show.
However, he is definitely being character assassinated by the show.
