Who can see a 'bullying' clique forming?

From what we have seen Gemma is being manipulative. In the least to most challenge she wanted to be at the top of the best kisser line up even after they told her they wanted people up there who had kissed while in the house. She had her tantrum then later told Jake she would get sympathy votes. Next, she tells Jake she is stirring the pot by speaking out and in comes Priya asking her why she is complaining about her to others instead of to her face when she thought they were friends. Afterwards Gemma laughs it off.
Tonight we watched her fake cry and run away from the dinner table.
I don't think it is bullying if the victim is manipulating the situation and people to get that effect.

I don't think I have ever seen a BB where the housemate is so open in revealing every step of their strategy.

It's like revealing your hand at poker, then trying to bluff.

I totally saw it on the rise tonight.

Travis, Lisa, Skye and Katie, forming AGAINST Gemma...

I felt terribly sorry for her, despite her little silly gimmicks.

how the hell does skye end up in a list of bullies? i dont even think she merits the 'in-crowd' list.
 
Gemma wants to appear bullied but she's so huge she just looks silly. In the real world she'd just belt any biotch who upset her

It was incredible how everyone started bitching about Gemma after she left the dinner table, no one cared about her feelings, and no one seemed to want to go and check if she was ok (other than Jake). She wasn't upset, obviously we know that, but none of them knew that and still didn't care. If you don't get along, fine, but have some empathy, jeez.

I found this to be a very revealing moment.
Tim who has just entered the house knows no more than we do at this point. He looks around the table and asks them if anyone thinks maybe they should go see if she is okay. My initial reaction was shock at how callous they all seemed about it.
This is where the viewer has to fill in the blanks from lack of live feeds.
What we know is that she insulted Skye to her face, Sam and Sandra overheard her admitting to Jake that she is deliberately stirring up trouble, Priya called her out as thinking they were friends so why was Gemma talking about her behind her back, she insulted the way Travis cooked eggs and she had just called his romance a fake. If this is what we have seen then imagine what we have missed.
It now makes more sense that people are not jumping out of their seats to go sooth her tears.
I find myself resenting the fact that she faked the tears and people have to pretend to care or otherwise be called uncaring bastards and when they do help her they can't talk about her afterwards or else be labeled as two faced. You can't win with Gemma.
 
So Gemma can say what she wants to who she wants however she wants and when she gets called out or answered back people say she is being bullied. Absolute rubbish, there's this thing called diplomacy and tact of which she has none or is that just another facade while she's in the house and not her being herself. Honestly who needs a friend like her around. I had to laugh when no one seemed to want to go and see if she was ok. The housemates know the sort of person she is and had already decided that the tears were a fake and a bid for attention and were far more interested in their food.

I agree.

That moment was quite telling as to how much they disliked her. No one really bothered to check up on her, and Katies words were sharp.

But I'm not sure you can blame them.
