First off, bullying is an issue that affects people regardless of age. It is completely ignorant and unsympathetic of you to consider bullying “absolutely ridiculous” in the case of adults. Media generally focuses on bullying surrounding children because it is of concern in child development and confidence, and approaching bullying at a young age is effective at diminishing bullying in adults. But that is not to say that it is not a serious concern for adults that plagues people on a daily basis. If anything this highlights bullying in adults as a problem, and your thought process illustrates how accepted it has become. You can’t tell me that it is unreasonable that he is upset that he was exposed on national television when the guidelines of the show clearly state that no footage taken in the showers or toilet will be televised. Yes the show is about people scheming to win a big prize, in what way does scheming include houseguests exposing your private areas on television?
Second of all, how on earth can you classify Tom opening that shower door as “psychological play”. Do you think that that was a strategic move to intimidate Alec? When Alec held the power of veto that could have saved him? Obviously it didn’t work since he has been dominating the game since. Tom was thoughtless in his action. He is an impulsive person, and that led to his demise in the game.
Thirdly, Alec has a professional position outside of this game. Like he said, it takes one freeze frame to expose him to the world and that could affect his professional career. I just hope no one saw and his privacy is kept.
Alec is genuinely a wonderful person, as I’m sure many people in the house are. You are entitled to your own opinion about the guests, but you should really think more empathetically about this situation.
