Freddie tells Noirin why Marcus IS upset about the Siavash situation and how she in a way..led him on :dance2:
Off the channel 4 BB site:
The problem with sweeping stuff under the carpet is that eventually the pile of debris gets so big that it's impossible to ignore. And the situation between Marcus and Noirin has now left an unsightly mound in the House. Perhaps some plain speaking from Halfwit might help?
Halfwit and Siavash were in the Living Area talking about how Siavash should approach Marcus when Noirin walked in and plonked herself on the sofa next to them. The two boys made no attempt to disguise the fact they were talking about Marcus.
"I quite like the idea of pretending nothing happened and moving on," said Siavash.
Then Noirin decided to stir it up a bit. "Why do you think Marcus is upset?" she asked, as if she'd just arrived from another planet.
"Well, obviously he fancies you and you don't fancy him back so that is one level of upset," explained Halfwit. "But what's driving that more is the feeling that you've led him on," he added.
Noirin was gobsmacked. "How though?" she gasped.
But Halfwit was ready for her. "It's definitely a vibe that I picked up on - that both of you knew there was no way you two would hook up, but you were still kind of entertaining that in the way you were acting," he explained.
"How though? Give me examples," demanded Noirin, before affirming that she'd told Marcus plenty of times she was not interested in him.
"The words you say are a very small part of the communication," Halfwit explained. "It's not as straightforward as that. I do think that after a certain point, you were obviously awkward. Before that point, you might have been saying you were just friends, but you were communicating interest.
"Unfortunately, by this time Marcus had allowed himself to emotionally invest in the situation," he added.
For once, it appeared that Noirin was speechless.
