| At least she got the "up for eviction" terminology right this time.
She slipped in the dreaded "up for nomination" phrase one day last week!

dont see it I'm afraid. I think HW is about as annoying backstabbing and b*tchy as the rest. He constantly grates on people and then he schemes about people behind their backs. Ais was never like that |

I must be watching a different programme to others, I think he is playing at trying to be a victim but is in fact a backstabbing bitchy person who is now pushing peoples buttons deliberately. I think Karly was quite restrained considering the stuff HW comes up with, especially with the lack of cigarettes she has at the moment |

I don't blame Karly for her misinterpretation of Halfwit's motives as it's clear that even intelligent people such as yourself can get it entirely wrong
He's just trying to build bridges and he's showing considerable patience, positivity and strength of character in doing so

I cant believe in the forums tonight just how many people are defending Marcus, simply because they dont like Sree (who does). To me it was worst for what they kicked (cant remember her name) out for using the n word. That in context was a quote from a song whilst being around her friends in the house. This Marcus made fun of his Indian accent and then threatened the guy. BB might regret not kicking him out. He had shown leaning towards jingoism before with some of his reasons for nominations, but this went too far for me.
Then the supposed bullied HW went to the DR to praise Marcus. What a lovely man. Obviously they have similiar beliefs to the right of politics and no doubt immigration |

Location: Edgware, Middlesex | Marcus is in my top 3 this year. I think you'll find most people defending him because they agree with him and like him not because they hate Sree.
I was 100% with Marcus on his first session. He was brilliant. This nonsense about mimicry is political correctness taken to ludicrous extremes. It has nothing to do with racism and the more programmes like BB try to make out that things like that can be perceived as racism the more people start to perceive totally non-racist behaviour as racist - which does a lot more harm than good, in my opinion.
It's about time someone took a stand against such nonsense and Marcus won that argument hands down.
He was on a lot more shaky ground with the second session. I don't think it was an Alex type threat but it definitely could have been misinterpreted as such. Under the circumstances BB had to make an issue out of it, particularly because he was so unrepentant the first time.
Still, it was heat of the moment stuff, and Sree was hardly innocent in the matter. He was at least as culpable in that argument and said far worse to Marcus than Marcus ever said to Sree. Under the circumstances I can totally understand why Marcus would feel that BB were remiss in not chastising Sree just as much.

Julian

guess we will have to disagree about that one. To me it was very clear and much worse than anything Emily did a few years back. I have a feeling though they would have completely ignored it if they didnt recognise the fact that Sree was going, so he might say something in the interviews.
As for Marcus he has previously nominated people citing reasons to do with "Englishness", and that adds to my feelings of discomfort with the guy. Add to that his behaviour towards Sree throughout, leaves me with no doubt. I feel people are praising him simply because they dont like Sree, but thats not the point. The real bullying in the house has been towards Sree from him not the dislike others have of Halfwit.
His attitude towards women is no better either.
The guy lives in a fantasy world where he believes he is some sort of stud with women all over him, but in reality he is a nasty threatening boy with very little experience of women who lives with his mummy (not the other way round as he claims). He is a throwback to the days when people like him felt they were allowed to treat others how they wanted and without question by the victim of their abuse. He has continually attacked Sree verbally over many weeks and whilst Sree himself is not the most likeable person that doesnt excuse Marcus' behaviour. The fact that his behaviour has been appalled in some areas only add weight to what we saw recently in the Euro elections |

It wouldn't be BB without a healthy dose of bullying. I like Aisleyne's comment "Even Big Brother, who never ussually gets invoved...". I'm sure some interveention was necessary in this case. Keep up the great work Aisleyne. |

Emily should never have been chucked out over something that innocent but two wrongs don't make a right. Emily wasn't being racist and neither was Marcus so neither deserved to have been chucked out, in my opinion.
It's actually that knee-jerk political correctness gone mad that happened with Emily that Marcus was standing up against.
I really don't think people are behind Marcus because of Sree, though. If anything, it's because he's the most friendly towards Freddie.
I'm not a fan of Marcus' crudity but I think most people, now, including the girls in the house, realize that it's just his sense of humour and that he's not deliberately being disrespectful. In his own mind, he's showering the girls with compliments! I'm quite sure that all they had to do was say they don't like it and he'd stop in an instant.
Noirin has said that he's her closest friend in the house and sees their relationship as one of mutual respect. You've got to look below the surface with Marcus. I think he's a lovely guy, who talks a lot of sense and has a lot of insight.
He does have a temper though and Sree was very good at winding him up (wittingly or unwittingly).
As for living with his mother. I didn't leave home until my thirties so, personally, I don't see the problem

| I wonder if the 'wise friend' who talked to her about the Marcus-Sree stuff was a certain OA forum member who's never short of an opinion?
P.S. Although he is short of one guitar *twang*

I think the trouble with judging Noirin on her argument with Siavash is that we haven't been shown a lot of the back story.
She and Marcus were discussing how rude Siavash was being to her on Friday but we never got to see it. Marcus seemed to think he was being deliberately rude because he has a girlfriend and doesn't want to be seen to be falling for her.
If Siavash has been snappy towards her and giving her a hard time (and accusing her of abusing people is not nice) I think her attitude towards him was quite understandable.
Also, she didn't admit to a "canoodling session" with Marcus . I think she was just referring to the time where she sat on his knee which she now realizes was giving the wrong signals.

I cant blame Noirin for Marcus' claims. She told him the previous day, with not a slightest bit of doubt, that she wasnt interested, but he still thinks he might have a chance. What else is she meant to say or do. Dont like her particularly, but it always seems to be that the women get the blame rather than the men |
