Agree.

YES!!!

This isn't a reality show where people are competing based on talent, ie cooking or singing. And even those contestants ie Sophia on MKR and the twins on The Block this past season copped a lot of abuse. People saying they wanted to bust the twins' faces in because they're cops, find out where they live and smash their windows in, calling Sophia HORRIFIC racist names. Even that kid who won The Voice this year copped it heaps for his stutter. None of that stuff had any bearing on whether or not they could perform the tasks required of them on their shows and yet they were still targets. A person who goes onto BB is giving the general public the responsibility of awarding someone a large cash prize - a life-changing amount for many - solely dependent on the personalities and actions of the HMs. Unless people are prepared to say that no one should be allowed to boo at an AFL game either then I can't see how anyone can believe a BB HM warrants being treated with kid gloves. Not when they want me to spend my cash voting to in turn give them 250k. I just don't get that line of thinking at all.

So you're saying that booing is ok because people pay to save HMs and also because people boo contestants on other tv shows? I don't understand how that justifies bullying someone...

Oh calm down... Nobody here is best buddies with Tully, so yes, we're gonna judge Tully exactly by way of how she's portrayed on TV because that's exactly how we're voting = by what we see and hear on the TV screen.

If you watch Big Brother and if you're forming ideas about housemates, it's going to be based on what you see on the TV or the live updates/internet. If you can somehow use your psychic powers and reach Tully to get any in-depth understanding of what an amazing, loving, warm and good-hearted person Tully is - then please, please let me know.

Tully will get booed. Geez, I wonder why...

I do agree with you that perhaps, it's not in good nature to boo somebody. But as a Big Brother housemate, you're putting yourself on the TV. Tully's certainly put a case out there against herself through how she's been poorly acting and treating other people. I really don't mind seeing her get booed. It might actually be in her interests to learn and change the way she is around other people. If she doesn't get booed, then well, good for her. I hope she becomes a better person than what we've seen on screen - even if it's edited down for viewers to see, it's still Tully. Nobody's asking her to act that way - that's who she is.

I actually dont believe she thinks she can win. She keeps saying she is gone every eviction and she doesn't seem to mind about it. It's weird cause she will cry over weird things but stuff we think she will bawl over she just goes passive aggressive.

I don't think that she is as hated generally as people here would have us believe. I think she will go further than she thinks.
 
Any dramas in Tully's love life are absolutely nothing compared to the bullying she's likely to endure from immature mean spirited nitwits behind keyboards when she gets out, those who feel justified in doimg that or supporting it really are the worst kind of people.

Your last sentence provides the answer to your first one in regards to me. I believe bullying is a word that is sickeningly and erroneously overused in Australia. It's the word du jour that people fall back on when they don't like something and want to cry victim. Booing an adult reality show contestant does not = a group of kids surrounding my son at preschool and trying to take his snack. The second scenario is bullying; the first one is not even close to it. Do you think it's bullying when people boo at a footy match? Or boo when Tony Abbott walks on stage for example? I don't think any of that is bullying at all. Not the most mature way to express one's opinion but definitely not bullying.

Agreed 100%.

Being a social media analyst though she should hopefully be used to it.

But surely she wouldn't have gotten any hate just from having that job. She would have seen other people getting bullied online but it's different when it's you who's being bullied.
 
If Tully was Nobbi, would people bother defending her getting booed? I can't imagine anyone in '08 saying: "please don't boo Nobbi! you're awful people" *cries*

If Tim or Mikkayla get booed when they're evicted: like, it's ok. Sometimes crowds boo. Calm down, Tully fans. Stop acting like Tully.

Reality TV: likeable contestants get cheers! Dislikable ones will get a few boos. That's pretty standard I reckon.

Yes, I'd consider all those situations to be bullying. It's a little different when it's a politician because the future of our country is somewhat in their hands and what they do really matters, but what Tully does barely affects any of us, so booing her and saying horrible things about her is completely unnecessary and doesn't accomplish anything other than potentially making her feel like shit.
 
Times have changed, the new Nobbi is Tim and suddenly he's a hero? I know it makes no sense. Tully reminds me a bit of Camilla
 
The worst kind of people? Excuse me while I try and make sense of that for a moment...
See I don't get that line of thinking, you are judging people on how they feel and call them the worst kind of people because they think tully deserves to be booed, but yet thinks it is ok to call them the worst kind of people?
Yeah I can't make sense of that

So, you're saying that it's OK to boo someone only when "they do something that really matters"?
Who gets to decide "what really matters"?
I'm just curious.
You're shooting yourself in the foot with that argument. You're saying it's OK to boo some people yet not others.

Ha wow thanks, that's the best ode I've had written about me today :)
 
Tully isn't being bullied, she is just being judged for being a contestant on a reality show. People say stupid, hateful things at times, but I doubt the majority of those people would go up to her face and start screaming at her. If she is being bullied in this forum or facebook or whatever, so is every other housemate. For example calling Ben creepy or Ed/Matt boring you are attacking them as a person, their personality. Tully just the target of more because her behaviour has made it so. Again, I think booing her is silly. You can call out their behaviour, but no need to say vile things just to get a reaction.

Definition of bullying: "Use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants."

What superior strength do you think the people in the crowd at the BB eviction/a footy match/a political rally hold? What do you think those people in the crowd are trying to force Tully/a Collingwood player/Tony Abbott to do?

I don't think the majority of the people who use the word bullying in Australia actually know what the word means.
 
I really don't want to offend anyone on here. We all have our views. This is a great place to discuss BB ;-)

Being on TV makes Tully a public figure. Just sayin'
