Marlon and the whole 'pushing the button' thing/let's be fair...

[Ammi]

..no matter whether you like Marlon or not or whether it's meant that Ashleigh will now definitely go and she may be your favourite etc...Marlon did nothing wrong...

..it doesn't really matter whether they all agreed that it wouldn't be pushed or whether Chris told Ashleigh to push it or whether she would have...because it's not up to a group to 'agree' something like this, they all went into the house as individual gameplayers and when it comes to something like this, that's what they have to be..I personally wouldn't have but then I'm stupid and wouldn't have wanted an extra week in that house anyway....

..for me his decision was no different from anyone else who decided to take the 'treat' and drain the battery just because that was the last test...and it's not like there would ever be any real thoughts of 'hardship' in the house as a result because the days of chickpeas are long gone and a basic budget still seems to mean cigarettes, alcohol, treats etc..it's just that they might have to do secret tasks or whatever for them...and on BBOTs, wasn't Mark already having a bit of beauty therapy...so that was a tough day...


..I also think the 'aftermath' reaction was awful and no different from the 'pack' thing with Ashleigh when BB showed the three girls what had been said...and was disappointed that Mark joined in so much when he had spoken up (quite rightly) in the other situation...

..I'm not a fan of Marlon at all but the housemates 'turning on him' the way they did was so wrong....

[Cherie]

I don't agree it was the same as the others taking treats Ammi as (a) they knew they would have the opportunity to replenish the battery by giving up something peronal and (b) taking the treat would not drain the battery completely, they only needed 1per cent in the battery to pass, I think Marlon is a dead cert to go now next time he is up whereas he might just have floated to the final as he was practically invisible since Toya left.

[rubymoo]

I agree....they've forgotten it's a game. I think the others were miffed because some wanted Ashleigh to have it, and others were pissed that they'd be on a basic budget.

They seem to lack the ability to put themselves in anothers shoes, i'm sure if they were in Marlons shoes, they'd have pushed the button too!

..yeah, they weren't the ones to actually drain the battery Cherie but they would know BB and that it was never going to be a simple thing with replenishing it either or that the final thing wasn't going to be something like this..?...they're just as clued up as we are to the workings of BB and I think everyone fairly much knew this would happen in some form of test...also I do think it's hypocritical of anyone who chose something for themselves to have condemned Marlon, rather than ..well, we don't agree with what he did but we did something for ourselves as well, so we better just hush up now...

Absolutely in my view no more to be said, a brilliant and very fair post Ammi.
Marlon isn't a favourite of mine either really but all you say above is spot on.

[Cherie]

Not true at all on the clip BOTS showed it clearly showed Jale, Chris and Ashleigh all saying they wouldn't press, Christopher asked Ashleigh if she was okay with the decision and all 4 agreed not to press, Marlon said something not sure what, then the timer started and he pressed. When Christopher asked Ashleigh if "she knew what she was doing", it was more or less saying you know you are probably out if you don't press.

[Cherie]

..yeah, they weren't the ones to actually drain the battery Cherie but they would know BB and that it was never going to be a simple thing with replenishing it either or that the final thing wasn't going to be something like this..?...they're just as clued up as we are to the workings of BB and I think everyone fairly much knew this would happen in some form of test...also I do think it's hypocritical of anyone who chose something for themselves to have condemned Marlon, rather than ..well, we don't agree with what he did but we did something for ourselves as well, so we better just hush up now...

I still think the point is Marlon chose something for himself that affected the whole group and gave nothing back, so they were perfectly entitled to ask him to explain himself.

[Mrjrb2014]

Marlon gave up something of his to charge the battery along with others..he has all right to get use of it in any case

[Cherie]

Marlon gave up something of his to charge the battery along with others..he has all right to get use of it in any case

Did he what App did he choose? and what did he give up as I haven't seen it, and if that is the case that is even worse as he did exactly what the others did and then went the extra mile to save himself.

[rubymoo]

Winston seemed to have wanted Ashleigh to have it.

I say fair play to him (Marlon) he knew he'd be out and just wanted an extra week, his game play seems to be to slip under the radar, however i think it's a moo point as he'll be out next week:hehe:

[Mrjrb2014]

the info was posted by Josy..and i fail to see how saving yourself is diffrent from getting info(a video)from home(self benefit)...spray tan etc(self benefit)

Winston wasn't in the room :unsure:

[rubymoo]

Winston wasn't in the room :unsure:

No, it was the bit when they came back, he said 'what about Ashleigh'

I'll have to rewatch it but it defo came across that he thought that if anyone should've pressed the button, it should've been Ashleigh that's just my opinion.

[Cherie]

the info was posted by Josy..and i fail to see how saving yourself is diffrent from getting info(a video)from home(self benefit)...spray tan etc(self benefit)

video - self benefit - give something up - perhaps it might lead to failure of the task but also maybe not so 50/50

press the button - fail the task- group suffers - 100%

[Cherie]

No, it was the bit when they came back, he said 'what about Ashleigh'

will have to look at it again myself Ruby, I don't remember Winston saying that.

[Marc]

Ashleigh is going to go before Marlon. LOL

[rubymoo]

Ashleigh is going to go before Marlon. LOL

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:bawling:

[Ammi]

I still think the point is Marlon chose something for himself that affected the whole group and gave nothing back, so they were perfectly entitled to ask him to explain himself.

..if no one had taken a treat and it was a full battery, then would it have all still completely drained on his test or not or did they all contribute...that's something we and they won't know. which is why he can't have the full responsibility..and as always in that house, they didn't really as such ask him to explain, rather than just accuse and all start in together....

[Mrjrb2014]

that last part of the task felt like a setup..after everyone else used it to ****.. bb set it hoping for this type of outcome

[Jemal]

Some great work from super marl yesterday:clap1:

[kefln]

The nominees were given a choice, save themselves and fail the task. Marlon made his choice and put himself over everyone else.

It was a selfish move.

[Ammi]

..it was a survival move, nothing more and nothing less and something you would expect on a game show when it's not a group win but an individual win...(or a little bit further in the game..)...

[Mrjrb2014]

The nominees were given a choice, save themselves and fail the task. Marlon made his choice and put himself over everyone else.

It was a selfish move.

It maybe a selfish move....but it was the smartest move at that point....its a game...play it!

[Jemal]

Man give me a break..
This isn't mickey house clubhouse for marlon to impress and help everyone to create a better life for each other, its a flipping game. Play the damn ting.
Those other nominated housemaes are so naive and stupid not to even take the chance of getting off the chopping block.

On the other hand i can understand why winston is upset cause i probably would of if my 'mate' in there done something like that and left us all too starve. So yeah

[mrflibble]

While I don't necessarily fault Marlon for hitting the button (he knew he was at risk, he did something to save himself for at least another week), I also understand the fallout from the other housemates.

- All the nominated housemates (Marlon included) agreed no-one was going to hit the button and they were going to discuss it first. Clearly they're going to feel betrayed because he went back on his word and didn't even have enough respect for them to give them a chance.
- The other housemates watching saw him betray the others, as well as not giving a second's thought to the shopping task that week.
- The fact that he made the decision without even considering anyone else in the house makes him look selfish and out for himself. The fact that he thought he was in such danger of leaving the house so took himself out of the equation makes him look like a coward.

I know that everyone in BB is out for themselves, but it's a game with other players AND the audience that you can't interact with. It was a stupid decision for him to make because now the people who are in charge of whether or not he gets put up for eviction for the rest of his stay don't feel like they can trust him and feel that he doesn't care about them either. If Marlon doesn't even give them 2 seconds thought, why should they? The audience on the outside didn't like him in the first place (or at least, this is what Marlon presumes based on his boos), so now the audience is pissed they couldn't vote for him and have to watch him for another week (so as soon as he's up again, they're going to pounce), and if they don't like him anyway why is he so desperate to stay in? If he feels like he's in that much risk, he's not going to get much further anyway.

I get the initial decision to save himself and in some ways it's good that he didn't bother pussy-footing around and just did it, but overall I think it was a terrible move on his part and he probably had more chance of staying longer if he hadn't done it. But I guess in some ways that's good, coz I might have to only put up with another week of him sleeping and he can get chucked out next week.

[LukeB]

Yes you go in as individual but you do want a good time in there so you have to play as a team so you dont become a target and be on your own a lot, you gotta face eviction its part of the game!

Well said, as if no one else was gonna, Christopher is just peed off that Ashleigh didnt get in there first like he told her to and as for Jale, sitting with the people she watched slate her, and slating Marlon

She's off my xmas list!

[Miranda123]

If Marlon wouldn't have done it so fast, Ashleigh would have pressed it

Of course she would

And so would Ash, so why he is saying he wouldnt have, Ive no idea!!

[Miranda123]

Hmm Jale dropping another mate like a hot potato - she would go up in my estimation if she actually stuck by her mates through the good and bad times.

I know, she is this years flip flopper, along with Mark

yep. It was obvious Christopher was going to urge Ashleigh to take it, and Marlon obviously realized that

[Josy]

Agree with everything said in the OP.

If Marlon wouldn't have done it so fast, Ashleigh would have pressed it

I think this is a definite. Also Cristopher telling Ashleigh to press it should also have been brought up by the other housemates because if the button was pressed regardless of who done it the shopping task was lost...

Also every other housemate chose to use up energy in the battery for completely selfish reasons, none of them done it to help anyone else in the house out, ffs Mark used energy to get a fake tan and some eyebrows and Winston used some to ask twitter if the girls were 'loving the winsmeinster' :umm2: and yet those two have a cheek to attack Marlon from saving himself IN A GAMESHOW!

[Miranda123]

Yes you go in as individual but you do want a good time in there so you have to play as a team so you dont become a target and be on your own a lot, you gotta face eviction its part of the game!

Marlon has been having a great time in there, he has been involved in everything, including arguments

Jale needs to wind her neck in, its as if she would rather Ashleigh got immunity than her supposed friend??

The girl is an idiot!

[Miranda123]

perfect post!

[Mystic Mock]

I haven't seen the videos to them yet so I can't comment, I'm just pissed off though that BB deliberately gave out a twist to save him again when he really would've been out last week if they BB hadn't told the girls to save him.

[Marsh.]

BB told the girls to save him last week and now this week it was a twist solely designed for Marlon to be saved because none of the other 4 had the opportunity.

Yes, ok Mock. That makes complete sense.

[Mystic Mock]

Yes, ok Mock. That makes complete sense.

The girls hate Marlon, they would not have saved him.

And then after that twist which you could make out was real, BB then decide when Marlon does get nominated for eviction and is about to get evicted, they magically throw out an immunity task that Marlon happens to get? Quite coincidental that the only black contestant remaining is getting this don't you think Marsh? They have actually protected Marlon more than they did Pauline or Toya.

[LukeB]

I agree also although I thought it was a little cowardly of Marlon but when it results in Ashleigh being evicted I am very happy. Great post amni

[Marsh.]

Kim and Jale saved him because they got along with him. Danielle and Ashleigh agreed to give Ash more of a chance of being evicted last week.

You do watch the show?

Now they're protecting him because he's black? :laugh2: Too much Mock, stop!!!!! :laugh2:

Any one of the five of them could have pushed the button but it was designed to save the black guy because BB hired a psychic who told them the black guy would press a button. :clap1:

I do watch the show thank you very much and I'm saying that Ashleigh who pulls Danielle's strings was told in the Diary Room to save Marlon because another black contestant was not suppose to leave after people branded the voters as racists for voting out Toya and Pauline.

And then to make it not look like they are doing that they have given out this immunity twist which came out of nowhere to save him as he was going by a landslide this week.

How is that not plausible? For two weeks running now Marlon would've been evicted yet he was saved, don't you find that the least bit suspicious?

[Brother Leon]

If Marlon wouldn't have done it so fast, Ashleigh would have pressed it

This. When the whole room is telling Ashleigh to press it and effectively throwing Marlon under the bus he owed no loyalty to his fellow HMs up for the vote. He pressed it and made sure she wasn't going to be swayed. Well played.

[Cherie]

Christophers line to Ashleigh was not asking is she knew what she was doing, he said
"you know what to do" no need to say that if he's telling her to do what was already agreed so lets not pretend to be deaf here

[Cherie]

So Christopher didn't and proceeded to try to convince Ashleigh to press it? Why didn't he get a hard time from everyone?

[Marsh.]

That is the proof now answer please?

Errrrrmmmm, no it isn't.

You telling me that Marlon had an earpiece is not proof of anything.

You also said he's being saved because he's black, again no proof.

This. When the whole room is telling Ashleigh to press it and effectively throwing Marlon under the bus he owed no loyalty to his fellow HMs up for the vote. He pressed it and made sure she wasn't going to be swayed. Well played.

Am I watching a different show, when did the whole room tell Ashleigh to press it?

[Brother Leon]

As above, have you seen the clip shown on BOTS?

I saw Cris say straight up to Marlon that he did tell Ashleigh to drain it with Jale agreeing. Of course. Ashleigh would say now that she wouldn't of, but there was still the risk if her being swayed. Marlon beat them to it though.

[Mystic Mock]

Errrrrmmmm, no it isn't.

You telling me that Marlon had an earpiece is not proof of anything.

You also said he's being saved because he's black, again no proof.

Ok explain to me why they have done two extreme twists on the weeks that Marlon was gonna be evicted? If that's not proof then I don't know what is.:joker:

Newsflash Mock, they've done twists every week of the series so far.

Marlon being saved twice is no "proof" of anything.

[Cherie]

So Christopher didn't and proceeded to try to convince Ashleigh to press it? Why didn't he get a hard time from everyone?

The way Christopher was edited in the clip on the Twitter feed made it look like he was urging her, the clip on BOTS clearly showed Ashleigh saying she wouldn't along with Jale and Chris, Marlon muttered something, then the time started and he pressed. :laugh:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I don't have a problem with that, the fact he didn't apologise or justify his reason straight away, or show any remorse for anyone else at all, proves hes a **** human

They've given him two immunities in a row quite conveniently after the racism accusation as well, if that's not rigged then it's very very very coincidental.

[smeagol]

lets be fair followed by marlon did nothing wrong lol

he sold out to save his own skin for one measily week. nothing right about that. its sad

[nina73]

i agree with the other posters who say marlon had every right to push the button ,they all went into the house as individuals to play the game to win and thats what they should be doing good on him i say ,i just wish some one woulkd remind them that it is a game and its every man/women for themselves i can live with him for a bit longer no probs

[smeagol]

The problem with that is you dont win bb that way. you win by decency not by doing your fellow housemates over.

everything is done in bb to test peoples character and how they deal with situations marlon showed his true self.
anyone pushes that button you have lost the game. anyone saying they would push it are not thinking of being in bb. 99.9% people wouldn't not for a week in a house to be hated.

[nina73]

the trouble with that smeagol is if all house mates were decent people and of good character bb would have died years ago without a few odd balls it would be boring look at the amount of controversy marlon has caused .i agree he wont win but so what he has stirred things up a bit ...

[Marsh.]

They've given him two immunities in a row quite conveniently after the racism accusation as well, if that's not rigged then it's very very very coincidental.

Which racism accusation is this?

They haven't given him anything, the girls gave him one, he stole the other. Fair and square.

[Bayclove]

I don't know how you can say Marlon did nothing wrong. He did everything wrong! No other housemates would have pressed the button. They would have felt tempted but none would have actually done it. Not even Ashleigh.

Simply reason being, they'd be hated! Not only by the fellow housemates but the public. Marlon is a fool, period. He's deluded and desperate to stay in the house. Did you see the smug grin on his face? And when confronted he gave the most bizarre reasons. He thought Ash and Winston would have wanted him to press it.

Deluded! It's not a real life flat share, it's Big Brother. They do not care if he's there or not, duh! It's a competition. Especially not at the expense of food & fags. I think he knows this tbh, he just doesn't want to admit his cowardish behavior.

Marlon knew exactly what he was doing. He pressed it to avoid eviction. He said himself he'll do things to benefit himself and no one else. Selfish c-u-n-t. I needed him out from week one, he's now avoided week 5.

GET MARLON OUT!

..no matter whether you like Marlon or not or whether it's meant that Ashleigh will now definitely go and she may be your favourite etc...Marlon did nothing wrong...

..it doesn't really matter whether they all agreed that it wouldn't be pushed or whether Chris told Ashleigh to push it or whether she would have...because it's not up to a group to 'agree' something like this, they all went into the house as individual gameplayers and when it comes to something like this, that's what they have to be..I personally wouldn't have but then I'm stupid and wouldn't have wanted an extra week in that house anyway....

..for me his decision was no different from anyone else who decided to take the 'treat' and drain the battery just because that was the last test...and it's not like there would ever be any real thoughts of 'hardship' in the house as a result because the days of chickpeas are long gone and a basic budget still seems to mean cigarettes, alcohol, treats etc..it's just that they might have to do secret tasks or whatever for them...and on BBOTs, wasn't Mark already having a bit of beauty therapy...so that was a tough day...


..I also think the 'aftermath' reaction was awful and no different from the 'pack' thing with Ashleigh when BB showed the three girls what had been said...and was disappointed that Mark joined in so much when he had spoken up (quite rightly) in the other situation...

..I'm not a fan of Marlon at all but the housemates 'turning on him' the way they did was so wrong....



Thank you! Someone else seeing what I am. They 'lost' the shopping task because they were all too selfish NOT to push the apps and have a personal treat, yet Marlon is being treated like the scumbag for putting himself over others. Isn't this is exactly what other housemates have done throughout this task? Sure, the lad is a pussy not wanting to face the public vote but, what's the difference between him being self serving and the rest of them doing the same and draining the damn battery. He used what? 15%? How much did Danielle use seeing her fookin dog? How much did Mark drain having a spray tan and his eyebrows done? Self absorbed gits need a reality check

The immunity shouldn't have been there in the first place but yeah fair enough every man for himself in there. Even if it means it's more likely my favourite Ashleigh will go. But if marlon wants to be in there so bad then he better show it, stop moaning, stop sleeping, stop looking sulky, stop being a sheep and get your own personality. Maybe now ash and Winston fell out with him he might come into his own. But I doubt it.

..Steven and Ash...Can it ever be the same again..will we ever all sit here together again...will we gaze at him sleeping on the sofa..can we ever stare into his eyes again.../or some such nonsense..:laugh:...he pushed a goddamn button to be save from a possible eviction, something Ash had wanted to be saved from in the Power Girl thing and that Steven was so thankful and relieved to be saved....for goodness sake guys, get a grip...:laugh:...
