Admits he's 'picking' on Cristian

[Amy Jade]

Just now on BOTS Marc had a go at Cristian and called him a worm and Cristian said he was sick of seeing Marc picking on people and Marc admitted he was picking on Cristian.

So he's still not a bully picking on people?

[hannah.]

'Picking on' or 'picking at' someone does not necessitate bullying. I'm so, so sick of this word being bandied about

Marc and Helen have let the power go to their heads and have shown what classless individuals they are.

What a lovely bloke Brian is though. Showing them how it should be done.

All joking aside can someone tell me what Cristian was supposed to have said about him lol. Marc has yet to say what he actually said

[Withano]

Why are people acting as if bullying is uncommon, it's not. It's fine to label unsocial behaviour as bullying

No secret Marc's there to "stir things up".
What bothers me is all this "I've seen it all. You're this you're that"
Always been full of his own opinions but it's not coming across well now.
Maybe the scientist thing has gone to his head.

That's because he doesn't know himself. Cristian has asked him numerous times and is yet to get a reply.

I know what it means, thanks. But I pick on my boyfriend all the time and vice versa; does that mean we're both bullying each other? :rolleyes:

I think he found out that Christian nominated him and they were supposed to be 'mates'

[Vicky.]

Why have we not seen any of this bullying then? :conf: I can count on one hand the amount of disagreements Cristian and Marc have had. Yet apparently hes been 'picking on him'

He nominated marc I think

That's your boyfriend not a random guy standing over you in a garden pointing in your face screaming is it.

[hannah.]

Also 'admit's in the title :laugh: as if because you lot posting on here calling him a bully has finally pushed him to 'admit' it. 'Says' would have been more appropriate and less inflammatory. This isn't the Daily Mail

Ask Marc he admitted he was picking on Cristian :hee:

Funny, thought questions ended in question marks.

Anyway, 'random' guy? they've been living together for weeks

[Trasadkel1]

He nominated marc I think

He did nominate him and he explained why to which Marc replied that he made himself a target so understood. Marc has just picked on Cristian for no reason and numerous occasions he has asked what he is supposed to have said and not once has Marc given him a reply. Cristian explained in a clip all the things he had said and why. That's the difference.

[Vicky.]

I am genuinely baffled. Even the 'bully' brigade on here haven't picked up on his bullying of Cristian. Thats come out of nowhere D:

Oh it's totally fine then Marc can do as he pleases then even though Cristian was clearly uncomfortable :fan:

I don't want to drag up the age-old "we hardly see anything without live feed" argument... but well... :tongue:

I mean the way people go on on here, Cristian's barely been a housemate all series, so you can't say "well we've never seen Marc targetting him" if that's the case.

(Personally I don't know if he's actually being picked on, lol, it's just impossible to tell what really goes on when I have doubts that 80% of what we do see isn't scripted or manipulated anyway.)

Okay so having a conversation which puts someone in a situation they aren't comfortable with equates to bullying? Ok have fun being inside for the rest of your life :fan:

Fair point. However we do see a LOT of Marc. I find it a bit strange that hes been targeting Cristian and we have never seen one instance of it. Infact most of the scenes we have got of those two have been of them being quite friendly :laugh:

[Shaun]

Yeah they did seem to have a sort-of "banter" friendship the past two weeks. I think Marc's just had his ego groomed now and thinks that Helen's "go for the jugular all the time" act is going to win him more votes and fans. Sadly, he's probably right.

[smudgie]

Marc and Cristian have always got on together, despite the fact that Cristian had nominated Marc.
He explained to Marc at the time why he was doing it(face to face noms I think).
Anyhow, Marc had no problem with Cristian at all...until Helen announced today in the garden that she did not like him, hmmm a few hours later he starts to pick at hIm, when Cristian asked hm what it was all about and that he had not been slagging him off all Marc could come up with was the fact that he was meant to be his friend and he had not defended him against the others when they were discussing him after eviction.
Now, make of that what you will.:shrug:

This is spot on! But i'm glad that Cristian is standing up for himself.

He has been acting like a bully since he came back from that Bunker. The only reason he's picking on Cristian is that Helen doesn't like him. So he's doing her dirty work. And because of this i have lost ll respect for Marc. Glad that Cristian called him out on his picking of people. :clap1:

[rusticgal]

Christian nominated Marc face to face...and they shook hands after it. They had no problem with each other until Marc came out the bunker.

marc is only picking on cristian because helen doesn't like him. quite pathetic really. marc going down my estimations a lot.

Being voted into the bunker has made him cocky...just like Jacks head was turned by being voted the winner

..actually I was going to compare him to Jack as well in that they're both believing in what they perceive as their 'popularity' and it's blinding them to behave differently....interesting though the strength of the 'charm factor'...that Marc has had it so has been overlooked much more in his behaviour whereas Jack doesn't have it so has been focused in on a lot more I think...
