Not really a fair comparison though; Callum has a completely different relationship with Gina. They get on, she's kind to him, she hasn't been 'watching' Callum since the safe house, doesn't goad him, wink and blow kisses at him or threaten to 'do' him, nor did she decide out of the blue to fancy the girl he was infatuated with for the craic, so Callum would have no reason to doubt her agenda if she talks about money or lifestyle. He has plenty of reason - rightly or wrongly - to doubt Dexter's.

....and he's just said To Charlie "glad that you believe me" Someone else was getting the blame again for Callum's actions I believe.

When Dexter & Gina were in the SH Dexter said all he wanted to do was watch Callum. I can only assume Callum had got under Dexter's skin even back then for some reason.
I think (I was sleepy at the time so may be wrong
) Callum referred to Dex winking and blowing kisses to him, which couldve been a lie, except Dex came in and did in front of others who agreed that that would indeed piss them off too.When Callum was talking to Dex about the 'stick it in' carry on Dex admitted he had said to Callum that should he eff with him, he (Dexter) would 'do him' (Callum). So if that's the kind of thing he admits to saying - that we're not being shown - it's little wonder Callum doesn't rate him.

People that save others lives, whether in the course of a job or another way DO NOT tend to actively brag about having done so. Normally they act humbly about such things and would be embarrassed about it even being mentioned. Certainly not using the fact to get on TV shows and bragging. Clearly a fantasist who believes his own personal narrative. He has not saved 19 lives, or any amount. If he had done so, he'd be swathed in honours. Just another tall tale, like the women one. All desperately pathetic and sad really.

I think how callum portrayed himself in his vt / profile is how callum sees himself in his own head, the reality is a different story. His meltdown because, charlie nominated him, he was placed further down from Dexter in the placement task & the fact he received more nominations than Dexter this week, were knocks to his ego, and he really couldn't handle it. That's my opinion anyway.

Callum said that Dexter threatened to Homosexually assault him, he then changed it to Dexter said he would bend him over and stick it up him, finally he said that Dexter said he would stick it up him. Callum has a vivid imagination and twists other peoples words, he is one dangerous person.

I actually agree with you completely. Every word. Callum seems to have an unhealthy need for praise/admiration, hence him taking what he perceives as rejection and slights so very badly. I'm not disagreeing with you on this, I just don't know yet if it's because he has a very large ego or a very fragile one.

I hope he's evicted tomorrow for MY peace of mind

That's what I meant in my previous post about him over egging and exaggerating to garner sympathy. Although, referring to the spin he put on THAT one makes 'over egging the pudding' sound quite the understatement.
If he stuck to the truth he would probably get the sympathy he was after, but, yes I agree, someone who can spin to that extent is rather dangerous.

I think he is just on a waffle,like his talks again with Charlie on LF - to regain his pride - part of his new gameplan now I think the rest of them went a bit t*ts up

He reminds me of the type who pretends to be a war veteran and talk about all the horrible things they've seen, when reality is war veterans NEVER discuss that sort of thing except with others who have been there.
I think he both makes stuff up and wildly exaggerates actual events/convo's etc. For the poster who mentioned Walter Mitty.....I'm old enough to remember 
and had thought exactly the same thing.

you're right.
The other 5 hanged themselves with their towels when they realised who had saved them ...
Callum changes his stories and personality every time he thinks or learns he isnt doing as well as he thought or planned.
In his head he is cunning and intelligent. In reality, most intelligent viewers see thru him.
Are the other HMs merely placating him? Are they too becoming just that bit scared. Im thinking of Sophie, Hazel and Charlie..all women!
Hazel seems to be the only one with balls to have dexters back and she has gone way up in my estimation

I think this too. I would hate to know him personally as I think he's actually quite intimidating and unstable.

Well said Grumpy, i think you're spot on.
I'm also old enough to know who Walter Mitty is and Callum's a ringer.

If it never happened, it's a lie.

How do we know this goading is true? We have all seen the video of Callum admitting to goading Dexter and Jackie?
So he can give it but not take it.
and only Gina's allowed to talk about he life because he likes her?
He is a wannabe jack the lad who hasn't got the self confidence to pull it off, and he is acting the fool for the cameras that's all.
But, I will say thank goodness he is doing this, because apart from him, Dexter, Gina and Charlie what a dull month we would have had. His panto feud with Dexter is the main, if not the only talking point, so at least he is doing something.
