Lucinda is annoying and does cause a lot of drama, however, that doesn’t mean she isn’t being bullied by Belle. Lucinda isn’t a convenient bullying victim because she’s goady and laughs a lot, and is like a dog with a bone. However, to me, it seems like she laughs in many situations to either keep up a front, or out of discomfort. I do think she is very aware of putting on a show and getting air time, but I also think she seems genuinely confused about why Belle has given her so much grief when loads of the others have also behaved in a similar way in the villa and not received half the hate from Belle.
As for Belle…she’s a perpetual victim and completely plays up to it. She’s constantly shouting and swearing, and sucking all fun out of the villa by engaging in a continuous stream of moaning and aggression. She’s such a negative person, and most of the others spend their time pandering to her overinflated ego. Belle says Lucinda is obsessed with her but it’s the other way round…Belle is obsessed with Sean and Lucinda, I guess because she really liked Sean a lot and can’t handle him rejecting her. The nasty way she is behaving towards Lucinda is escalating, and the mocking of her running away was vile. She really showed herself up by doing that.
Samie is mean and unpleasant, and weirdly joyless. I don’t think she’s bullying Lucinda, and is quite rightly irritated with Lucinda, but I do think she’s happy to be in Belle’s clique and not stand up to her and say “enough’s enough” to Belle in the way Whitney has done in the past to her.
Jessie is an utter embarrassment. She literally inserted herself into the drama by having it out with Lucinda just to get the airtime, and then criticised Lucinda for wanting airtime. Then she cried over nothing when Sean had a calm conversation with her. Then backtracked when Belle started getting worked up again at Sean. And didn’t she say something like “you’d have been so proud of me Belle”…so cringe. She’s literally trying to get Belle’s approval by starting on Lucinda. Awful woman.
