How long will Michael be in the house for?

[Benjamin]

As he isn't a housemate, he cannot win. So when will he be there until? The final?

[joeysteele]

Personally,I hope not very long at all.

[King Gizzard]

2 weeks max

but pretty sure they'll all suss him out eventually through no fault of his own, when everything just continually happens through him

[MTVN]

Hopefully just till the first eviction

[Tregard]

Until he walks.

[Jords]

Mid-series or if he gets found out before?

[MTVN]

They'll probably do something where if he goes however long without being found out he gets to become a proper housemate and drops the act, or if he's sussed he automatically faces eviction

[Drew.]

will get boring if the whole show revolves around him for ages.. will lose a lot of what i love about the show, 2 weeks max hopefully

[Marc]

Personally,I hope not very long at all.

Please

[Jack_]

Till the final or near the end at the very least I hope

Why people want him out soon is beyond me, I'll be so pissed off. Build up an entire ad campaign about him and then have him in for 1/10 of the series? No thanks, that'll just be like all of the other twists C5 have had. I'd like some good use out of him first.

Fair enough if he's sussed (likely) but if he isn't then let him stay until he is

[Jack_]

Oh and I don't want the series to revolve around him either but one or two viewer selected tasks for him a week and that'll suffice, should balance the twist with other house action

hes a twist.. but there are more 'secrets and lies' planned for the show later on, it will drag on too long if hes there for ages and they'll suss him out sooner or later

[King Gizzard]

Yeah..really just see him as a launch night twist, not as an everlasting thing

[Jordan.]

Atleast 2/3 weeks, any less and it's not gonna be much of a shock to the housemates.

[King Gizzard]

Think they just got him specifically as an actor, probably getting paid for it, doubt he went in hoping to be a housemate

[jyunga]

bad twist. the moment they came in from the 'shred' everyone was socializing and he was pacing behind them trying to put on the act that he was all upset. No one else cared. He is going to end up outcast and quiet and the twists will just annoying them eventually and he'll miss out on a lot of good socializing.

I know there's other stuff to come and I'm glad of that but he is the 'secret' (the main one) that they've been trailing the last few weeks with '#whatsthesecret'...after all that if he stays for a week I am going to be seriously annoyed. I don't get people's objection to this twist either, when I saw the thread earlier and everyone was going on as if it was sh*t...it's not that bad

I just hope he turns nasty and we get opportunities to turn him into a ******, if we can make him be an arsehole all series then so long as he's not found out it'll be worth it

[Ramsay]

Hope they dont pussy out and let him become a housemate. he'd obviously win

[Marc]

He's so awful :bawling:

there is a lot of potential with him and he could cause a lot of drama, but with the HM's already knowing the theme of the show theres only going to be so much he can do and get away with before hes caught so a few weeks causing mayhem should be enough then move onto the next part

[Jack_]

I've just got visions of next Wednesday or something them calling him into the diary room and gathering the other housemates in front of the plasma and they go '...so Michael, you're actually an actor and passed your job for Big Brother, you're now a housemate, well done' and the other housemates are like 'YAY OMG SO HAPPY FOR U xxx' just like every other secret task that ever goes on...Kerry, Natalie etc etc

I want it to last the entire series, then on finale night them gather all the housemates (except Michael) and show them a VT of loads of instances across the series where they've speculated about him being an actor, and then at the end they show them the second VT they showed us of him where he's all sinister and sh*t. Much better

Well like I said, if he's found out then fair do's (though I'd like him to have a couple of opportunities to try and persuade people) and he can own up and we can move on, but in the (perhaps unlikely) event he isn't found out, then the twist should be kept going until he is, I see no reason for it to end prematurely, other twists can be done alongside him and that actually might throw them off the scent in a way

It's not destined to be a full series storyline, there's not much they can do with it. Michael sucks as an actor but you can't even blame him because nobody could do improv for 24/7 in this weird environment with strangers. The nice, humble postman shredding everyone's suitcases is already out of character, only someone of Makosi-like proportions of attention seeking and psychoticness could pull it off.

All these "secrets and lies" can only work through him for so long, and "the house vs. Michael" would be a tedious storyline that would be like Speidi all over again. It's a twist that has a limited lifespan by design and hopefully production recognizes that instead of trying to lengthen out for what it isn't worth.

[ThisIsNickkk]

I hope he doesn't last the full series because he will be sussed out if it goes on for however many weeks, they will get suspicious.

On the same note, I don't want him to become a housemate either, the whole "You passed! You're not an housemate" will be so predictable.

Plus, the whole Secrets & Lies theme can't just resolve around one person, there's got to be more stuff hidden away for the rest of the series.

[Craiggy]

Tomorrow? He is so cringed and obvious he is fake. I would have been having my doubts about him if I was a HM already.

[King Gizzard]

Watching it again, knowing that he's an actor..the VT just seems really really fake, (well obviously it would seeing as I now know, but still)
