Don't get me wrong, I too think that what Tully has done is abhorrent, and last night's 'I love yous' were nauseating. But overall, is Tully copping a lot more flack than she would if she were male? From memory, a number of men have had in-house dalliances that involved cheating on someone on the outside - Marty, Vincent (didn't cheat but was infatuated with Jo who also had a bf I'm sure), Hotdogs (strong & overt attraction to Vesna who had a bf), Glenn, George (technically not taken but talked about ex & expressed desire to reunite with her), I'm sure there were others...I don't recall any of them copping nearly as much backlash as Tully.

I'm gonna say "meh, woman's got needs" .... behold as I sip my coffee, and click to go somewhere else.
Tully's copping flack because she is a cheating skank. IMO anyway.
I agree that women are often more criticised than men. But in the case of Tully, her relationship with Tahlia was very frequently mentioned. She cried over missing her, talking to Drew and the house about her... Compare that to the talk about Matt or Tahan's partners outside!

This whole Tully and drew thing is becoming a too of a big deal ! People make mistakes so why is she copping so much slack ? Yes its on live television which is pretty low but no one on the outside can really know what the people In that house go through and if anyone was smart enough before they went into the house of they were in relationship they would of had some sort of talk about the what ifs.
Thanks for reminding me how much i hated season 5
and i don't think tully won many friends with the way she has behaved by throwing tantrums and working hard to get to drew (starting at the fence) and then pretty much owning him and being hypocritical every time she whinges about someone else...it's not been pretty to watch even before they kicked it up a notch last night.
that being said i'm sure she is different in different surroundings and most people in the house get grief for something, even the ones who are always lovely are hated by some. But she is so sensitive i hope her support base are ready because i worry for her, but then she also comes across as pretty tough and in your face too, so i'm confused... lets just hope that once she's out of the house everyone can appreciate that it's a tv show and we get to see people at their most vulnerable and let her get on with her life because at the end of the day we all have issues.

She's copping flack because she's been horrible from the start. Befriending Jade while going behind her back. The crying and whining. The bringing Drew down. Treating him and others like dirt. This is just another thing on a long pile of things and it's horrible to watch because it's not just her cheating it's watching Drew go from Hero to Zero because of her. Now he's gossiping and being gross. Maybe that's the real him, but it's not fun to watch. She is like a virus that spreads ick on everything. Cheating in the house is worse because it's on TV and your partner has to find out by watching you cheat and hearing people talk about it. Then your partner gets all this attention from millions of people because of something bad YOU did. It's sooo wrong. It's just very wrong.

I doubt that Tahlia has "moved on" already.
What she is doing is showing respect to Tully as someone I'm sure she still loves, and an incredible amount of dignity in a heartbreaking situation.
It's a shame that Tully couldn't show her the same respect.
