On every show, all I heard and saw was Martin muscling in on every scene. If thinking someone is annoying is bullying, then im a bully too. Such a wind up. Other people are allowed not to like someone.
True enough but then Larry started to encourage his gang too, and thats bullying, immature and evil.

Larry has nothing to gain by it now so she might get chased.

She would maybe be fighting to dislodge Larry's bitch (Wayne) from there.

I don't get the people that are so aghast at this alleged bullying of Martin but will happily have a pop at Wayne & Larry?

I know right. Or be quite happy to hurl abuse at other GMs for not agreeing with them,

It's like Martin seems to have his own version of the Larries

Oh for gods sake. This is why I don't like Martin; such a whinge.
Let's see how you would fare if you were the subject of group ridicule shall we? Its so easy to sit at home and tell him to stop moaning.

Martin wasn't bullied or group ridiculed, he needs to grow a backbone. Not everyone in life gets on with each other, Martin himself said as much.

Did you think it was bullying when Martin threw water in Adam's face or when he kept hanging up on Ola or when he refused to eat the food Adam had cooked for him?

One on one behaviour is totally different to group behaviour. The thing is, you're in the minority so you dismissing what the rest of us, without blinkers on saw makes me wonder whether you behave the same.

Haven't been watching IACGMOOH this year, but did manage to catch the bit when Larry Lamb whispered to ? about Martin being "lower middle class....."

Had to laugh. That man Lamb has got a HUGE chip on his shoulder!!!

Imagine the reaction, had someone done all that to Martin. But when Martin acted out, it was just fun and jokes, but from everyone else it's bullying and they're vile people.

Completely different scenarios...........It was clearly a joke when Martin pretended to trip up & spilled water over Adam. It was clearly a joke when Martin hung up the phone on Ola. I personally wouldn't have eaten food swimming in oil either, & at least he tried to be tactful so not to hurt Adam's feelings when he couldn't eat it.

Larry & Wayne continually sniped & bitched about Martin, a lot of the time behind his back, & Larry was downright rude to Martin on numerous occasions over ridiculous things.

I know, people should just put up with bullying, shouldn't they? All these bloody anti-bullying campaigns in schools are nonsense too, aren't they? Kids should just toughen up.

Why the need to find out more? From a few minutes of seeing a tv show, a supposed comment given to the MIRROR of all the publications, Wayne has already been branded as a vile bully, uncaring father who doesn't love his children. Why the need for more information? It seems like that's all some people need, and they're ready to trash someone's character completely.

The truth of it is none of us viewers really know what went on in camp, we wasn't there.

I do find this bullying thing has been blown out of all proportion, I didn't see any bullying, differences of opinion, clashes of character yes, but bullying no.

i know Martin has now for some attained 'sainthood' but for me he was an annoying character and I can fully understand why he rubbed Larry and at times some of the others up the wrong way.

I didn't think he did a great interview with Ant and Dec tbh, he immediately went into 'poor little me' mode and from pieces I have read online is continuing to do so.

He is a grown man, if his jungle experience was 'hell' then he should have taken the issue to the producers or whoever, he needs to man up and take responsibility for his well being ...again imo.

If he thinks that Larry and Wayne were picking on him/bullying him God knows how he would have coped with the wrath of Lady C last year.

I appreciate I will get my head blown off for daring to raise it above the parapet on this issue but each to their own, and this is my take on what went on.
I am sorry but they would never have shown bullying if there was any. The show lasts 46 minutes they have 10 minutes for the trial and 36 minutes of Scarlett in the Hut.

Well said - they are grown ups for goodness sake.

Of course Martin's actions are clearly jokes. Others are supposed to laugh with him how funny he is. Some found him annoying, and bitched about it. That's not bullying.

They put themselves up for it going on a reality show, its what its all about. It shows up peoples strengths and weaknesses more than seeing them on TV , but its the price of fame for them.

I am sorry but without L/F none of us know if he was bullied or not. All we can comment on is what they show in the H/L's.
