Throwing flour on someone where they sleep isn't really a clever prank.

I'm pretty sure it was a tactic to get under Ed's skin - I think originally Drew, Boogs and Tahan would have seen it as harmless fun but the intentions of Tim is where I question the act.

Tim is a smart guy and I have a feeling he is using this "prank" as another way he can play the victim.

At what point is a joke a "prank" and it becomes bullying/intimidation?
 
I wouldn't like having to clean up flour from my bed but would see it as a joke.
Ed got them back that afternoon as he said he was used to pranks being played when he was football player. Jade even got floured as well, I wonder if she knew that was coming?
 
It was a prank..seriously every time one of the other housemates come up with a prank/something silly Tim gets blamed?
It was just some harmless fun.Ed got them all back and I didnt see anyone calling that playing the game/bullying or humiliation
 
Oh my! Pranks in the BB House! Call the fun police!
Let me guess, the boys locking Ashalea in the chest back in 2004 was also part of mastermind Tim's plot to psychologically attack Ed too?
 
Oh please pouring flour on them is hardly bullying or intimidation I mean it's not like someone's going to mistake them for a schnitzel and fry them up, especially with Mikkayla gone.

Being a footballer Ed would have experienced and participated in a lot of comparable pranks. Hell I went to an all boys school and I can tell you now a prank like the flour one was tame compared to some of the crap that went on there.

I think most people would recognise that the line between prank and bullying isn't always clear but can usually be drawn at physical and/or emotionally cruel.
 
I work closely with two women.

When one of them plays a prank on me, I find it hilarious. When the other does, I crack the shits. Why? Because I do not really like the second woman very much.

I feel that this is pretty much the case with Ed and Tim. Ed doesn't like Tim, ergo, looks for underlying motive for his actions. Where as Tim is like "Oh, something shiney...."

I'll miss this riveting viewing when it's over. The great flour in the bed scandle of 2013. Almost topped the Turkey Slapping incident....
 
I cannot believe he claimed to be victimised!! No Ed victimised is when acid is thrown in your face because you have a vajayjay not hvaing some flour sprinkled on you - it looked like Boog was firmly leading the shenanigans as well.

What was worse though was Mr Paranoid claiming Tim got him in the night - I REALLY wanted BB to interrupt at that point and tell Ed how wrong he was. It was probably Mr Clooney FFS

It wasn't a prank as such.
The HM's were just trying have some silly fun. Just as Ed & his stalker GF did when they threw flour over Tim,Drew,tahan and the Boogsta.

Who ever said it was Tim's idea to rain flour over Ed and Jade - paranoia runs wild.

All true :) You can have fun anymore. Every little thing is bullying, (sigh) Some people are just not fun

It was actually Tim's idea, he walks into the kitchen and says "remember we said its prank day, let's flour mum and dad".

It's the very start of last nights show if anyone wants to go back and watch.

yeah I thought I heard that as well with Tim suggesting it...they all thought it would be funny though, and at least it wasn't that much flour...would have been pain to get rid of it though
I think because JadEd are often the last ones out of bed, thought they could get them without getting caught before they did it.
