Congratulations to Marc - For being handed £150,000

[Beetlejuice]

It seems they're doing the Time Warp twist (another one!) the week they know he'll be up (with Simon) and people won't resist the chance to unleash him on some ex-housemates in a secret room (another one) where he'll no doubt get access to a 24/7 feed (like everyone does apart from the viewers). We all know the popularity of HMs goes up when they become the focus of attention in this way, so congrats to the Producer's Pet.

[Cherie]

So true

[Josy]

Big Marc swaggering in 2 weeks late, taking control of the house and being handed the prize money (apparently)

What a guy :idc:

[Beetlejuice]

So true

Yep. But who cares anymore. The show is bound to be axed after this series. They sure as hell will never do what anyone wants.

[Pete.]

He'll still be evicted in the month or so left

[Josy]

Yep. But who cares anymore. The show is bound to be axed after this series. They sure as hell will never do what anyone wants.

The show is contracted for three years

Because no one's watching except the fans

What a producer's pet. Their own little goblin.

Exactly, as soon as he's up for real he's out.

The fans haven't a clue :bawling:

I doubt they regard themselves as fans anymore

I'm sure you said this for a reason but I can't think of one example of the top of my head? Help me out?

I agree. If he gets a pass to the final then I think even I would switch off. He is a male equivalent of Helen to be honest.

[Beetlejuice]

He won't be. They are building the show around their pet, they will not let him go. Let's stop pretending he's an underdog here. He's got the people making the show behind him and is now almost the favourite to win and is about to go into a secret room (which always boosts a HMs popularity)

[Beetlejuice]

I'm sure you said this for a reason but I can't think of one example of the top of my head? Help me out?

Michelle and Emma became the favourites to win. Gina and Dexter became even more popular. Helen was put into a secret room in the final week during the vote to win - we all know what happened next.

[bots]

it is highly likely that simon and marc will be nominated next week, and as BB have thrown simon under the bus with consistent bad edits, there is no way voters will vote for anyone but mark. So it is a setup, and gives him at least a week for his redemption story (after next weeks Danny vs Mark storyline). I still think he has been paid/directed, its just not real.

[Jemal]

It brings a tear to my eye.
What a guy

[joeysteele]

I wouldn't mind Marc winning it in the end however,he wouldn't be my first choice to do so.
He has brought loads to this series in my view.

Didn't watch the Helen series because I don't like stabbing myself in the throat either but the other 4 were already popular.

If the room was part of the reason that Helen won, I'd happily sign any petition that you have against it though! She is such a ****.

Michelle was not popular at the time. Emma was, even more so afterwards. And Dexter and Gina became even bigger favourites after their stint in there. To the point it became a bit irritating.

They had a mock trial which led to Helen being found guilty for the house divide and then they just out of nowhere put her in a secret room to watch the others (along with Chris), knowing full well Ashleigh would say something about her. It all made Helen look more sympathetic and she ended up winning.

[the_answers]

They sure as hell will never do what anyone wants.
Do you mean "will never do what anyone who wants live feed wants" ?

If so, let's say they do "what people want" by making it all more "fair".

Case 1
HMs slip under the radar doing nothing and giving little away until the final. (and it's maybe bad enough already !)

All you end up with is Chloe and Joel in the secret room watching HMs eat their breakfast.
Great ! Everyone wants that.

But more watchable ? Open to debate.
Even if it's "real life" better, where's the incentive to really be themselves when it might offend or make them more unpopular with their HMs ?
Or even harm their chances of winning by what they say on camera ?

Like Simon or not, done himself no favours by being honest has he ?

Case 2
They do VTS.
HMs step up to the plate worried they can't coast along.
Some by acting fake, causing (and winning) arguments
And people STILL complain they're unlikeable, it's unwatchable etc.

So what's this alternate grand vision ?
Genuinely interested to know.

I'm suprised if you can't see Marc's good side tbh.
In many ways think he's one of the kindest in there.
Not convinced he'll win but if he did, could think of far worse winners.

[Mystic Mock]

Marc won't win, but BB are determined to try and make him a character, it's kind of sad considering this show could get naturally big characters like Science, Makosi, Kemal, Derek, Victor, Ahmed, Luke, Rebecca, Michelle, Marco, Craig Coates, Grace, Nikki, Shahbaz, Sezer, Lea, Lisa BB7, Mario BB9, Ben, hell even the wanker that was John James was more entertaining than any of these lot in BB16.

[GLENN BILL BB7]

I cant take Marc as a serious housemate, I think he's acting, He doesn't even look real either, He's like a Ken doll.

[Beetlejuice]

Do you mean "will never do what anyone who wants live feed wants" ?

Most fans want the live feed, or at least extra live coverage so that's certainly an example. They also want less interference, less twists and less stupid tasks. A better website, more videos and more honesty. They were told all this last year and have made all the same mistakes all over again from the first night and so it should come as no surprise that it's doing poorly this year.

My objection to Marc is simply that he seems to have been instructed to behave like this and they will do everything in their power to keep him in as long as possible and perhaps even get him over the finish line in first in doing so. He'd probably have been quite a good housemate had he been in from the beginning, but the laughs he gets are very much nervous giggles in response to shock tactics - telling a girl he wants to rub his face in her vagina etc. I find it a bit moronic.

[the_answers]

Fair enough then.
Simply don't understand why C4 format didn't stay if it was more appealing.

[Beetlejuice]

Because the people who owned Channel 5 and bought the show were idiots.

[karezza]

Marc is a plant. He will leave with £50,000 before the final.

[Ashley.]

Sadly, the production team halved upon moving to Channel 5. Back then, there was a large group of producers who had almost-monthly meetings about what to do next, and there was a large editing team to ensure that no favouritism was conducted in the highlight episodes.

Nowadays there's only one person who makes the decisions, and he's a pig.

No way would Marc have been up this week

[Beetlejuice]

He'll leave with the full 150,000

[Pete.]

This is pretty obvious now as bullies are always rewarded

No - the Ken doll was better looking...

[Patricia4]

He'll leave with the full 150,000

I hope he does he woke them boring buggers up that was in the house the show was on its last legs before he went in.

[chuff me dizzy]

He proved tonight what a brilliant bloke he is and how loved by the public

[chuff me dizzy]

I hope he does he woke them boring buggers up that was in the house the show was on its last legs before he went in.

:clap1:

[Beetlejuice]

It's still on its last legs.

[Beetlejuice]

More promotion of him.

And more blaming of the situation on the housemates rather than the fact the production is utter ****e.

[rusticgal]

Marc is in line for the win anyway. I wouldn't mind him winning...he has been opinionated and livened the house up.
The public wanted him in the bunker...because they like him. He isn't going to be any different in the bunker to how he has been in the house. He was cheered when he left the house because people like the fact that he puts himself out there and doesnt just fly under the radar or create arguments for no reason.
He has gambled and won...fair play to him. What you see is what you get. He took his eviction well...didn't throw any off the cuff remarks as he left...he just took it in his stride and would have taken the boos in his stride too.
I can't see how he can go wrong now....he can't be any cockier.

[minny03]

He's definitely going to win, which is hilarious since he's the biggest fraud in there. People swear they hate game players, but he is undoubtedly one. He's been chosen by the producers to manipulate and stir things up which just gives him more airtime. Then most of the viewers will claim that hes made the show more entertaining and blah, blah, blah. So manufactured and such a huge joke. This isn't much different from BBUSA which is highly manipulated and edited too.

[Normal]

Give me one person in this Big Brother who's a bigger character that Marc.

Honestly, I know how much people hate him and I respect that, but this series would be an absolute **** stain on the side of a makeshift wooden toilet if Marc wasn't in there.
