Would you push the button? [spoiler]

[Josy]

So for the last part of the task one of the nominated housemates can potentially save themselves but at the same time they lose the shopping task.

I can honestly say I would push the button :smug:

I would feel bad but yeah I would still do it hahah

Anyway I think all of the nominees apart from Christopher will go for it.

Would you push it?

[Headie]

Yep.

I don't see anyone going for it except Jale tbh

[Brother Leon]

Yes. Everyone drained the battery. They can get fuxked lol

[Kate!]

Yup I'd push the button

[Marsh.]

Yes, given some of the selfish bastards who've drained it for their own gain I wouldn't hesitate.

[Cherie]

No because (a) you will defo be up next week and (b) the public will hate you for it, if it were a button to take the money that would be different, but just for safety for a week, no way.

[Josy]

You still get an extra week and plus next week is Armageddon, another twist so the person that pushed it may not be up again.

The public loves a game player apparently?

:dazzler:
Probably not I'd feel bad

[Rob!]

Yes, a billion percent.

^^^ I don't think the public would hate you for it - it would depend who pressed it. If Marlon does then Ashleigh is gone so I would despise him :joker:

[Locke.]

Marlon will do it

[Cherie]

We have to assume the HMs don't know about Armageddon, and the public do love a game player but as in someone who has brought something to the house, if it is Marlon then he will be hated, Ashleigh might get away with it because as least she has caused drama.

[Josy]

Marlon will do it

But will he be fast enough?

[jamiewordsley]

The five nominated were told that one of them could win safety from the eviction this week, however it would come at a cost of the final 15% of the battery.

Once the one minute countdown started, after 2 seconds, Marlon hit his button. This secured Marlon’s safety from this week’s eviction, however eliminated the remaining 15% of the battery leaving the battery on 0%, meaning that the Housemates have FAILED this week’s shopping task.

It means now that Marlon will no longer be facing eviction, leaving Ashleigh, Christopher, Chris and Jale up for the public vote.

[Cherie]

Yes, a billion percent.

^^^ I don't think the public would hate you for it - it would depend who pressed it. If Marlon does then Ashleigh is gone so I would despise him :joker:



Exactly no one in their right mind thinks Marlon should be saved only himself.

[Marsh.]

They won't be hated for it, it depends on the public opinion of a housemate.

Helen, Ash, Ashleigh etc etc doing something like this would be hated because they'll be hated on regardless.

Jale, Chris, Mark etc etc doing something like this would be like "fair enough".

[Josy]

We have to assume the HMs don't know about Armageddon, and the public do love a game player but as in someone who has brought something to the house, if it is Marlon then he will be hated, Ashleigh might get away with it because as least she has caused drama.

Oh I know they don't but for another week in the house I would still do it, so much can happen that there's about a 50% chance of you getting away without being nominated for it even without a twist especially with Helen in the house :laugh:

Is this true :eek:

[Novo]

This and C) you will look unselfish for not doing it and it could potentially save you and if you do survive you will have a much better week knowing youve got more food and your in everyone's good books

There are more advantages of not doing it Imo

[Marsh.]

Yep, when you're in channel 5 BB you know that if you've had a week of normal nominations/eviction that a twist will arrive the following week so anything could happen.

They might as well pick nominees at random for all the consistency they have.

[Locke.]

But will he be fast enough?

Guess he was

[Brother Leon]

If you are up this week, chances are you are up next week regardless as it seems to be the same noms every week this series.

[Marsh.]

If you are up this week, chances are you are up next week regardless as it seems to be the same noms every week this series.

No surprise considering they seem to insist on this 2+ noms and you're up crap rule.

[LukeB]

No because of the food

[Adamw92]

If no one else gives a ******* about the task and uses all the battery life then I probably would, but then would I want to risk myself being stuck in there with all those people for a whole other week? hmm... :laugh:

[billy123]

bbspy ‏@bbspy 12m
All nominees were given 1 minute to press a button and save themselves from eviction - Marlon did it after exactly two seconds #bbuk
-----
Hahaha that is amazing Marlon saved himself

[muchadoaboutnothing]

I would have pressed the buton. I'm a bit annoyed that we don't see in the HL show the consequences for the HMs of failing a task. I want to see them complain about nof fags, booze and even lack of food. The HL show concentrates too much on arguements and fall outs etc.

I agree they failed last weeks I think and they still had alcohol and food and cigs.

[BigSister]

No I wouldn't because of the food

[smeagol]

no way only a complete idiot would push the button. its suicide and what fool would want to stay where they are not wanted lol

Big Brother now relies on them having alcohol to get footage. :laugh: So desperate.

If that's the case, stop crying.... At least one more week is better off than going on Friday..

Two issues come up with him pressing the buzzer...
1) the lost the task
2) he was selfish and did not consult with others...


1) when Steve drained the battery twice and mark drained the battery by getting facials, what was your reaction?

2) when Christmas said to Ashleigh ...." You know what to do" did he consult marlon?


I don't care what anyone thinks, but don't lie to yourselves that the 5 of them could have walked away and saved the battery..... If that is the cas, is marlon a lesser human? And you say Helen is a bully.

You all hate marlon for how he treats women, how have these women been treating themselves...... Open it.... While you have a boy friend...

wtf lol i just said i wouldn't of pushed the button as only a complete fool would do that.

1. push it you lose any chance of winning bb
2. push you fail the task
3. push it you will be hated
4. push it you got to live in a place you are not wanted,

why stay for 1 more week thats desperate why stay where your not wanted.
anyone who says they would push it is completely insane lol

the only person who is justified to do it is ashleigh who is certain to go and not liked. her doing so would annoy them . anyone else would be and is pure stupidity and selfishness.

[Roy Mars III]

in a second

[mooo]

No because everyone would turn on you for it.

[Jack_]

Without a doubt and I'd also not stay frozen in those tasks where family members come in like Jack and Joe didn't last year, it's only some ****ing food...no way am I not talking to my family just for that.

But people are always quick to criticise decisions like this when it's a housemate they don't like so I'm not sure why some are trying to point the same thing out when they're guilty of it themselves. Loads on here yesterday were criticising Ashleigh for being 'selfish!!!!' for draining the battery, in pretty much every other task like this people usually complain that they're being 'selfish!!!!!' and whinge but now it's Marlon everyone suddenly seems to think what a great decision he made? Please, the double standards are hilarious

He made the right decision. But everyone who makes decisions like that in there makes the right decision, both for themselves and often for the entertainment of the show too. Either be consistent or don't bother k thanks

[Me. I Am Salman]

dunno
it could have more repercussions in the long run.

[Amy Jade]

I would have pressed it but not in 2 seconds, I tend to think about things more rationally than I used to in the past.

Really happy Marlon got it, bet the Ashleigh fans are fuming though.

[Me. I Am Salman]

if it was money related though I'd push it in an instant

[Marsh.]

Marlon was going to be out this Friday, if not he would be nominated next week regardless.

He had nothing to lose but he's snagged himself an extra week in the house.

Win, win.

[Jordan.]

Mystic meg over here :unsure:

[GypsyGoth]

It is in a way, because Marlon is still in with a chance of winning the prize money at the end of the game.

[Marcus.]

no i would not

[chuff me dizzy]

In Ashleigh position ( hearing the boos last week ) yes, anyone else no

[chuff me dizzy]

No he wasnt going ,Ashleigh was the only one in danger

[Roy Mars III]

No he wasnt going ,Ashleigh was the only one in danger

if Ashleigh pressed it though Marlon was for sure gone. That obviously played in his decision.

[John-s]

dunno
it could have more repercussions in the long run.

And if he had not pressed it, he would not be up for nomination next week right?

[Achilles]

If I was Marlon YES. Why not if you have been put for eviction and you know most of the house don't really think much of you.

Never seen a better F you to the house than that :cheer2:

That doesn't make any sense because Helen said Marlon lied as they all agreed not to press the buzzer, I cant see them reacting badly to Marlon if Ashleigh was going to press it as well, I think the editing left alot to be desired on that one.

[Achilles]

When they said you know what to do I thought that they meant for Ashleigh to press it. So I was thinking Marlon PRESS IT and he did :cheer2:

[Cherie]

Why did Helen say Marlon lied as they all agreed not to press it then in the footage immediately after then?

Does it matter? Nothing matters anymore after that :laugh:

[Cherie]

so you are happy to ignore the obvious I see.:laugh:

[Marsh.]

Mystic meg over here :unsure:

What?

He's been up every week, saved only by twists. It's not a hard guess that he would be up yet again.

Not so much Mystic Meg as Captain Obvious. :wink:

[Marsh.]

Why did Helen say Marlon lied as they all agreed not to press it then in the footage immediately after then?

Why did Helen say Christopher made things personal 5 seconds after he said his decision wasn't personal?

Because she's a crazy bitch who thrives on drama. :laugh:

[Johnnyuk123]

I voted no but would push the button in a nano second if it did this... :joker:

[Jords]

Yes.

Unless Id been up 2+ weeks and was saved and cheered.

[Achilles]

But will he be fast enough?

Bane voice: OF COURSE :cheer2:

[Moosething]

It wouldnt be worth the moaning & the guaranteed nominations/eviction

[Shaun]

Ensuring survival >>>>>>>> having some nice cereal in the house next week

[Achilles]

It wouldnt be worth the moaning & the guaranteed nominations/eviction

Already guaranteed. The bonus of him pressing the button was for him to realize which of his friends are actually HIS FRIENDS. Winston was pissed. Ash was a little too but he won't fall out with him over it because unlike Winston, Ash knows what it feels like to be up for eviction and not be popular with the public.
If Winston had been booed 100% guarantee he would not have reacted the same way
