Bea: 'Freddie is like Marcus's terrier'

Bea last night accused Freddie of being like "some little terrier", snapping at people on Marcus's behalf.

The pair were arguing in bed about how they had spoken to each other that day, during which Freddie had accused Bea of guilt mongering, stating that the house had grown tired of her negativity.

Bea did not take the comments lightly, and had spent the majority of the evening bemoaning Freddie to other housemates, who mostly took her side.

As they lay in their adjoining beds, Bea did most of the talking while Freddie seemed somewhat taken aback at her comments.

"It was embarrassing watching someone with such intelligence clutching at ridiculous straws," she told him. "Having the nerve to vocalise your negative assumptions about me, you've got some cheek."

As their voices escalated, Lisa and David smiled to each other while the housemates all pretended to be asleep.

Bea continued: "You're running around like some little terrier around Marcus, snapping at people... I'm not here to be your emotional punchbag."

The comments came after Freddie had tried to mediate between Marcus and Bea about what she considered an old argument. "Why you felt like you had to get involved is beyond me," she remarked.

Bea also told him her beliefs that he was used to being the "cleverest housemate" and thus getting one up in arguments with others.

This was a point that Lisa later praised after she, Charlie and David followed Bea out of the bedroom for a cigarette.

"I felt you were speaking for everybody," said Lisa.

David agreed: "He needs to change the record."

"I would not have thought I'd be having that conversation with him. If you're good with words it's quite easy to get one up on people," Bea said of the Oxford graduate.

She then worried that he would think they were all "bitching" about him, as he'd earlier accused her of doing so frequently in the house.

"Tomorrow's a new day," Charlie assured her.
