This makes me like Callum even more
Sick of people picking on Callum
2 of 3
I think it's just being in the competitive environment of BB, along with having some very competitive housemates, that makes them so bothered by Callum's behaviour.
Normally his actions would warrant maybe an eyeroll
or being slightly bemused 
But in the BB house where they're so desperate to get ahead of their rivals they end up losing their cool - OH MY GOD Callum's the worst person ever in the history of humanity!!! Grrrrrrr!
I think if they were to watch themselves on TV behaving that way they'd be embarrassed.

Callum is not nasty but he is a bit of a strange one. Don't forget we only see small snippets of him, but the others have 24 hours a day, i can imagine Callum being like he is all the time, that would drive me nuts!
I am not defending Dan at all, i don't like the dude but i can see where he might be coming from.

I agree - but maybe the why is because so many of the others won't give him the time of day.

He's very watchable, even if it's some times cringey to watch.”

It's pretty obvious that whatever awkwardness he has is, as he himself has said, due to deep rooted insecurity problems. And rather than try to understand his position and show empathy and maybe just a little bit of humanity, they mercilessly bitch and deconstruct his character behind his back. And don't get me started on BOTS! Conor got better treatment on that show!
I also feel this lack of empathy towards Sam. Most of them (with the exception of Gina and Sam) don't seem to give a **** that he has trouble following group conversations and try to clarify what's being said etc.
In summary it seems that it's better for you to be a confident back-stabber (Dexter - who I like btw), than an insecure nice guy.”

I don't get why people do not like him more but he has been targeted from the start by BOTTs in particular from the complaints that he did nothing to doing everything wrong now
I hope he stays to the end
You can see him trying to make sure that Sam can lipread when he is speaking which is probably why Sam wants to hang about with him. Sophie could take a leaf out of his book instead of bitching about Sam not joining in
i have been thinking that maybe one of the reasons he can be so awkward in the house is due to the onslaught over the weeks from jackie, with the housemates, bar sam and gina, just looking on and sniggering. if that happened to me i'd certainly be awkward around those people. Charlie would occasionally say "that's not fair mum" but only when everyone was there to witness it, when talking to her friends she would be quite mean about callum, and still is; yet i have seen her on live feed say when they are alone "love you Cal".

Nope. Callum thinks that he and Dan are closer now and he really likes him. Will be a slap in the face when they tell him Dan dislikes him so much.
They think he's contrived and insincere and after six weeks in his company the act is beginning to seriously grate on them.
I feel much the same way.

He's boring though, even more boring than Sam and Sophie......The only person to get a reaction out of Callum was Jacky and it wasn't nice, that's the real Callum He forgot where he was for while, but he has that firmly under control now, and is again hiding behind his "niceness"Which isn't the real Callum..................I would like him more if he did put his feelings and opinions out there.

No more so than anyone else in there. They have each annoyed me at one time or another.

Callum isnt bad , but his attitude towards dexter stinks , and he is just stalker/serial killer creepy
The more BOTS and people in the house and on here slag him off for no earthly reason the more I like him and want him to win.

Same here.
I was a bit indifferent to him at first but the more he gets slagged off for no real reason (imo) the more I want him to win.
Callum is about to 'change' again .
He feels he smothers Sam.
I think the ranking task has unnerved him

Yes, that's one of the things I like about Callum (& Gina), they do take more care when speaking so Sam can follow what's happening. Sophie, more than once, has been talking to Sam whilst she has her back to him than complains he doesn't get involved! It was even more obvious how much Sam misses out on things in the house during the task when Callum was acting as a counsellor. I did quite like Sophie at first but have gone off of her recently.

I have just seen the video on the ch5 site where Callum is talking to Charlie in the tree house. It is obvious from what he said to her that the housemates are not hiding their dislike of him and its upsetting him. I really felt sorry for him and I cannot understand why being nice and caring can be seen more negatively then the actions of housemates who have been bitchy, devious and unkind. I don't understand how Charlie when alone with him is so nice to his face and seems to really like him as a friend then allows people like Dan to bitch about him behind his back and she joined in the laughing when Dan said he hopes he is evicted on Friday as he cant stand him because he is cringey!!! She should not have joined in the laughing if she is, as she states, his friend. I don't agree with this targeting of specific housemates it's pack mentality and Dan always appears to be the group leader in targeting the next victim. I loved Dan the first few weeks but not so much lately.

It's Dexter's attitude towards Callum that stinks and is creepy, his face when he's looking at Callum sometimes is really sneering.

I don't dislike Callum, I just think he dislikes Dexter because of the fact that he fancies Charlie. It's just a childish dislike of Dexter from Callum for no good reason. Callum knows that Charlie's taken a dislike to him since his 'good face for radio' comment. Since because of that Charlie's been getting on better with Dexter, Callum took an instant dislike to Dexter. Every housemate in there must know exactly why Callum doesn't like Dexter for.
