I'm using the term 'bullying' in the same context as others have used it to describe previous behaviour in the house. I don't think anyone had been bullied in there this year (do you?), but if chris being excluded from/not welcomed into the group at the start can be called bullying (as many here did) then the same applies to how chris is towards Pav.

And it's just nonsense to say that Pav's isolated himself, and that he;s brought it upon himself. That's exactly the sort of language that bullies and their enablers use, so to see someone who claims to have been a victim resort to those justifications perhaps proves my point about how the bullied can turn.

even if you don't agree that Chris has it in for him, can't you at least understand how many people are disappointed that, as someone who experienced relative isolation himself, Chris has made no attempt to integrate with Pav, or even offer alternative views on Pav to the house? Chris has shown himself, at the very least, to be wholly lacking in empathy.

I make no bones about it, Chris is my favourite and I think people are being unfair, mainly because they see him as a threat to win. I can't see that, Christopher will probably take the title.

He isn't taking a delight in Pav being isolated, he talks to Pav and has explained why he is spending more time with the existing housemates, he isn't spending much time with Zoe either. He has told him it is not personal, I'd say that was him being pretty honest, and if he is trying to keep in with the others for the last few nominations, why not, they are all doing it.

We said last week this would start, and it is starting on BBBOTS with the horrible Judy James saying he makes her want to vomit, no need for that nastiness.

Pav has isolated himself from the rest of the group, you see it time after time. He's either sitting by himself or if he is with the group he just sits there & watch doesn't contribute to any of the convos at all. ALL the Hms encourages him to join in but that would contradict the sympathy card he's using.

This video sums up Pav, he's listening, watching and playing the victim.

But 5 min later her may have got them all to have hopping race.

As an extreme introvert, it would have taken Chris all this time to make sense of everyone and find ways of getting along with them. He's happy with his own company and is the sort who would rather have one carefully chosen best friend than lots of superficial ones. So that's why, in the early weeks, he would have come across as a bit of a detached wallflower.

Armageddon Week was a turning point. He admitted that he wasn't mentally ready for new people to come into the house and also that it made him reassess his feelings for the originals. For someone who'd spent all that time trying to make sense of the house, the newcomers would have thrown him right back to square 1.

Is Pav a bit of a prick? His personality might not say so but his VT certainly did. A self-confessed game player who boasted that he'd already won - come on if that doesn't arouse suspicion what would?

Chris is by no means the only one who's expressed discomfort about Pav, far from it, virtually everyone has. It may well only be paranoia but that's an emotion that will magnify every negative thing out of proportion. If Pav really is that game player he'll stoke up the paranoia to suit himself and what better way than to blacken someone he knows is a fan favourite?

It would probably take Chris another 6 weeks to work out Pav. That's time they don't have and newcomers are only there are eviction fodder anyway. So Chris probably thinks the easiest thing would be for Pav to be evicted the sooner the better so he can get back to the situation he's most comfortable in.
