Not exactly...but he`s still a bully imo.

I think I agree.....

I didn't know whether I'd like Alex or not as I only knew of the online gossip which didn't seem favourable. From what I've seen so far he's ok so I'd agree with Vinnie

He needs to tone down the 'banter' with Alex before it becomes too hurtful.

He`s got an intimidating air about him. I`m not keen

Exactly!

I think Vinnie is great.It's all tongue in cheek and Alex knows it.After all it gets Alex on camera.

i think vinnie's remark the other night was spot on'he's too honest for his own good' is about right.
 can't say i thought much of alex when i heard he was going in but he seems to be out of his depth and  oddly naive.seems a decent bloke to me.

I said on the highlights thread, vinnie does like alex, i think vinnie could end up helping alex wise up, cos alex needs it and quickly, he cant say things like he wants to be a celebrity to change the world if he wants to be taken seriously.

yeah .... very much so ..... I think that is why vinnie enjoys taking the piss ... but in a very jokey kinda way .... alex comes across as very gullible imo ... but he's nice enough

Vinnie could say that, yet still make Alex a target.
People don't always speak as they think.
And I am not sure that I would consider Vinnie as 100% trustworthy.

I think Vinnie likes Alex. He's sees himself probably but Alex is a lot softer & its like Vinnie just wants to wisen him up to the worlds attacks

Vinnie had preconceived ideas about Alex and IMO his so-called banter was quite nasty but disguised with humour.
However, it seems that Vinnie has actually realised that Alex is a pleasant, good-natured guy, even if he has terrible taste in women. Hopefully, any future banter will be genuine and friendly.

i think vinnies ok and i bet his a great hubby and dad, his son is serving in afghanistan right now.

Being around men all my life I see it as banter, I have'nt seen anyone bully anyone in the house....

I agree Stonks, I see it as banter too.

it's all banter as i see it, vinnie knows it and so does alex

Hopefully Vinnie's kind and positive comments about Alex on tonight's HL show should go some way towards ending the bully campaign which exists on this and other forums.

Alex is in awe of vinnie and vinnie knows this  Alex is quite happy to have vinnies attention

I think the word bully should come with a £5 charge to stop its over use....

I like Vinnie and Alex.............Vinnie is a "man's" man.........enjoys taking the pish and Alex takes it all in good humour.  I haven't seen any nastiness in there

Vinnies like an old womans blouse, cleaning and gossiping.

His banter is if thats what it is called is snidey and relentless not a nice banter at all.

oh i think its just banter between both of them.  Vinnie is harmless, Alex is just as bad..they are entertaining, think they would b lost without eachothers banter.

I like them both!

We don't have the privilege of 24 hour LF so his banter can hardly be viewed as relentless

I really must be watching a differant show as I havn't seen any bullying between Vinnie and Alex. ...I see banter and Vinnie ribbing Alex a bit but that is all.

I like Vinnie the most in there, I also would like to like Alex more if he wasn't obsessed with being a celebrity. I find him attractive.
