This is pure mob mentality and Simon is the recipient of most people's frustrations because he's a safe target. It's uncomfortable viewing and the producers allow him to be continually harassed. Because what Simon is "perceived" to have done, being hostile towards him is not only implicitly acceptable amongst the housemates, it is almost politically correct to do, bordering on virtuous. There is no downside to picking on Simon which is why you get shrinking violets, young pups afraid to take on the likes of Marc, such as Harry, Jack and Chloe, taking self-indulgent pot shots to massage their own egos. It's all wrapped up in a nice little package of supposed back-stabbing and betrayal as if he owes them something or is plotting and scheming in the background. At least Jack is outward in his actions, Harry will start on Simon only when she sees others doing so in a sort of "kick him when he's cowering in the corner" sort of manner. She won't be aggressive towards anyone else such as Danny who told her to put her clothes on, or Marc who told her she has no friends in the house. No, Simon is her target but only because no bad can come of it and he is unlikely to bite back. If he does, she has the support of everyone else. She is a true coward and in just a few short days has become my most hated, yes HATED, housemate. And that is nothing to do with her nakedness.

It is mob mentality, but I have no sympathy for Simon. I genuinely have never witnessed a more pathetic fake man in my life. He doesn't know who he is and is playing the victim. He has also a very bad reputation in his line of, ahem, "showbiz" so there is more to him than meets the eye.

Saying that, they all seem to have a bullying trait to them. I think the arrival of Marc has brought a n undertone sinister vibe/atmosphere to the house that is hidden behind a "togetherness against Simon".
Not one of them left will stand up against a mob mentality crusade, especially against Simon, if it gets worse:
Christian: No backbone
Danny: No brain
Jade: No true empathy/too much self absorbed
Chloe: Hates him (yet she will forgive and not hold against/not challenge Marc's comments because he has control of the house and in the long term she and the rest want to avoid confrontation with Marc as they fear what he can do.
Jack: Sensitive, angry, looking for someone to vent his temper upon
Nick: Smart, with empathy but he has also nerve issues and he doesnt seem the type to take on a big crowd. I may be wrong.
Joel: He has a politician mentality, he seeks approval and will side with the crowd, rather than against them.
Sam: she is too absorbed with making everyone happy and like her, she also doesn't necessarily have the right intelligence to go about it and she is too busy following around Marc and putting her energies responding to his mind games.
Harry Amelia: No comment............ (,) (,)

If Sam has any respect for herself she is really going to regret this whole experience!! Marc essentially treating her like a second class citizen. And her subservient to him .

Damn!! Why didn't I think of that!!! You may have ruined my thunder!!!

You can never define ignorance by how educated you are, that's for sure.

Marc is starting to get on my tits with his endless mountain of drivel that pours from his gob.

In fairness this show would be drivel without him. The only entertaining housemate.

You don't know that either. The only reason everyone else is so subdued and the whole show seems to revolve around him is that he is in complete control and has manipulated everything.

Marc can't take it at all. He has serious issues. Hateful idiot.

Marc is losing it tonight and he is spluttering filth left,right & center here.
