Tweeting someone that you don't like the way they're doing their job doesn't seem an effective way of getting yourself heard. Especially if you're not expecting him to be rude, then block you.

I don't mind Marcus actually, clearly he isn't everyones cup of tea but if we turned on people for being rude in the entertainment business because we didn't like them and told them so then there would be likely very few people to get in touch with as to TV.

As I say, I don't mind Marcus,as is said he will work from a script likely so like most employed TV people, he will only be doing what he's told and expected to.I doubt anyone else would be much,if any, different.

He is a fundemental part of BB and has authority to voice his opinion but he has tweeted himself that he likes the new editing and naration style.

Channel 5/endemol would never sack Marcus as BB would not be BB without him and he must know that.

Okay, I back down and accept that you would be a lot different to Marcus, in fact though as far as I'm concerned it's a pity people like you with the really good and strong ideas haven't got anything to do with the production of BB.

Good luck anyway when you raise ot on Wednesday with them.

Daniel, I'm not saying it to be rude, just stating the facts. Whereas Marcus Bently is a professional who has worked on BB since the beginning, you have a couple of failed auditions and a very limited experience of the media. The way you worded your tweet was extremely offensive and you wonder why he blocked you. And that's not how you spell abysmal.

I guess it's the fact that you think you know more about the editing than the professionals do simply because you're a fan of the programme and have had limited contact with it. I haven't had a complaint about the music, the editing or the commentary and I'm sure I'm not alone. Yet you're appalled that Marcus Bently didn't immediately apologise to you for his wrongdoings and vow to change his style. You were actually surprised that he blocked you.

Erm no.

You are making a totally wrong judgement on me there. Why the hell would i think i know more about the editing just because i have had "limited contact with the show"? Just because i have been to evictions and to Bots? Dont be so stupid. Plenty of other fans have been to watch BB.

That is not how i feel AT ALL!

I am not saying i could do better. What i am saying is that im not liking the show being over edited with music and us not seeing enough of the housemates actually conversing with each other which is what BB is all about. IMO it doesnt need to be so over the top because the housemates having actual conversations is TV gold.

In regards to Marcus i did actually expect to be blocked which i was not bothered/suprised about because im just not a fan of him anymore. His over the top narating ruined last nights episode for me and i was very angry.

I did not expect an apology hence me wording the tweet the way i did. It was the final straw for me. I did not expect him to take my comments on board and change either as the people who run the show do not listen to fans suggestions.

I read two news stories yesterday about two girls one 12 the other 10, both diagnosed with inoperable cancer less than a year ago, the 12 year old died, the other one probably will soon, I had tears streaming down my face reading about them :( So Marcus and yours twitter war pales into signifigance in the great scheme of things. Your tweeting Marcus has only served to get you blocked.

Constructive critiscism is one thing, being dowright rude is a totally different matter, Twitter is not really the place to air your views on his narration style imo....if you have a serious complaint you should put it in an email and send it to C5.

agreed. he's a bag of sh*t
Oh grow up. Marcus is a grown man and can respond to whoever he likes however he likes on Twitter. It doesn't matter a damn if he is doing the voiceovers on the show you like to watch. He's not a figure of such importance that him making a cheeky, frankly apt comeback to a rude message or replying "No" [the gall!] to your sorry ass is going to land him in hot water and have his face plastered all over print.

C'mon guys watch that video and tell me im wrong.

You are most definitely not wrong, BB is a mere shadow of what it once was, i hate to be thinking this, but i am slowly starting to get bored of the show as we dont have a chance to see the housemates doing normal things, we dont get LF, all we get is over edited tasks :bawling:

If all you're doing is insulting him then I don't see why he'd really want to retain your viewership tbh

This 100% - I'd have thought blocking someone like that would be the sensible thing to do.

If you (the OP) is rude initially, he has every right to respond to you in the same manner as you felt it appropriate to address him.

I don't have an issue with his voiceover at all - so you aren't saying what everyone else is thinking - I'm happy enough with it, it's not big deal.

This. I hadn't noticed anything wrong with his voice overs, BB wouldn't be BB without him imo

He was starting to normalise again near the end of BB2011, but then the start of this series he was back to the more exaggerated tone of voice and telling jokes while narrarating :/

I much preferred his style way back when, much more basic, relaxed. But now instead of "Freddie and Marcus are in the kitchen", we get "Juh-Edward are in the KIT-chen, sharin' some Twin Love!" -_-

Then again, he's more of a host of the show than Brian is. He does the series' opening rather than Brian, he does the countdown for eviction rather than Big Brother, hell, is he not even listed directly under Brian in the credits?

How did you word the tweet? It doesn't look rude to me if you said his narration was over the top.

He probably gets loads of stick over it, he did last year anyway.
It's not his choice to do it like this.

He was well within his rights to call you and a loser - I mean, you could have worded it a bit better.

I won't hear a bad thing said about him ;D

This is what i actually said:

pontyboidaniel james lewis

I have to say this @marcusBBbentley is ****ing embaressing on BB. You have become a cartoon version of yourself. Ruining #CBB for me

I doubt he cares if he is becoming a cartoon version of himself. I mean, have a look at his Twitter avatar.

In fairness though, I preferred it when he was more low-key but I like having a bit more of him on the show.

Overall though, I don't really mind. I like him though.

Regardless of what he says or what he's told to say, I still have to wonder why he has felt it necessary to exaggerate his accent to a comedic extent. Until recent years he had a perfectly natural geordie accent. It's a bit sad that he thought he had to do this.

He's a fantastic narrator. I've not bothered reading the whole thread because i'm a bit busy, but I just think that he is really great.
He tweets me often and seems really nice :) Also follows me.

Why on earth people are blaming him personally, is hilarious.

Given that he is paid to do this job, I suspect that he is doing what the producers are telling him to do - otherwise he'd not be doing it, neither would he be in a job.

They are happy with it, otherwise it wouldn't hit our tv screens. That's it in a nutshell.

Skip to 26.14 and watch it till the end of the ladder task.

You'll see what i mean. The video is embeded so you have to click on "watch on youtube".

Did that honestly not make you cringe?

Its the music aswell which isnt Marcus's fault but my god is he over the top. As i said he is a cartoon version of his former self.

TX for posting video, unfortunately the sound is dead on my PC..so will watch it on tomorrow and get back to you if I get a chance!

Marcus is a legend and I thought his reply was piss funny. :joker:

Remember the horseracing task in BB11, or something along the lines of that.
Marcus was on an orgasm that day, talk about being OTT.

Omg did you just hear his introduction on BOTS "PREEEEEEEEEEEEEVIOUSLY"!

**** off!

Even though it was worded badly I agree with daniel, he is obviously forcing his accent to sound the way it is. That and he shouldnt insult a fan by calling them an unintellignet chav, its
quite unprofesional reply

The thing is if you put yourself on TV you have to be prepared for praise and criticism,he should not be being rude to fans of the show that dont like him imo.
