... They snap. At which point they are "boring", "humourless" or "aggressive" and Marc is just trying to have "fun", bring a bit of "banter" to the house or, most amusingly of all, is a "victim"

This is Big Brother 16 in week 7 and will probably be it for the next 4 weeks as well.

Personally I find it rather tedious. But that's just me.

[Livia]

That seems to be the way it goes. It never fails to surprise me what some people find entertaining. Personally I've never found rude, argumentative boneheads that amusing.

Nobody is snapping though. As Joel said three weeks ago "ignore him, and it will stop". It has in the main, except Joel has gone up Marc's sphincter, because of his mum.

Bad mummy!!

[Beetlejuice]

Nobody is snapping though. As Joel said three weeks ago "ignore him, and it will stop".

Nope. It doesn't. And actually he invades people's personal space and makes very cutting remarks which hurt. And many have been snapping over the last week such as Danny and Cristian and Chloe has done before on numerous occasions.


It has in the main, except Joel has gone up Marc's sphincter, because of his mum.

Bad mummy!!

He's made nasty remarks about Sam tonight. And there's a video up on the website of him being his usual irritating self, with Chloe getting fed up. I wouldn't blame her turning around and smacking him. But she'll get accused of all sorts for doing so.

He's spoiling for a fight, he'd love someone to lose control and take a swipe at him.

He's a really nasty little man.

[BB4fan]

Marc is a great guy at heart. It's not his fault he lives with sour gits with no life (except Helen and Joel) the real evil ones are two faced morons like Fatboy Jack.

Jack's attitude and personality are disgusting and even Jade can see what he is now she's out.

[Babschap]

Marc is a sad little bully boy pric.

[bots]

all this talk of bullies is just silly. Both Marc and Helen say things to wind people up. They do it such that if the person retaliates, they lose control and make fools of themselves. The others need to learn to deal with it better.

BULLY
use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force them to do something.

Sounds a lot like dannys gang to me

Exactly and they all still bite most of the time too.

Bullying comes in many forms. Some more serious than others. That Marc is a bully is clear for all to see. That he isn't the worst kind of bully doesn't mean people should not identify him as the bully he is.

[Beetlejuice]

Of course they do, they're utterly fed up of it.

If hes a bully so is Danny, Jack and Christian and so is Harry for that matter

So i guess they are even

Except he isnt none of them are

[Beetlejuice]

If hes a bully so is Danny, Jack and Christian and so is Harry for that matter

Nope none of them are. Except maybe Jack, who seems rather unfair towards Simon to me. The others are all reacting to Marc's behaviour towards themselves and others.

As I said, he goads people until they snap and then they end up being accused of being bullies!

So i guess they are even

Except he isnt none of them are

Erm, yes. He quite clearly is. The idea Cristian, who was just happy keeping his head down, until Marc just went on and on and on at him is a bully is hilarious.

He's also the producer's pet and has the show being rigged for him to stay in as long as possible, and he'll probably win. Because bullies often win on Channel 5's Big Brother now.

[JTM45]

Totally agree with you Beetlejuice!!!!
Mark's not happy unless he's prodding and provoking one person or another and if they react you can see the pleasure on his face (just, through the heavy effect of the Botox) he gets and he just goes in harder until they flip out and then everyone calls the victim of his victimization the crazy one!

He's an absolute dick! A parasitic vermin of the worst kind.:yuk:

So I must have imagined Christian basically telling Joel to watch his back since he stopped towing the line, I must have imagined how every week they noms arent fixed the people up are always the ones Danny and Christian want up, I must have imagined how the ones not in that little clique all know you cant go against them or youll be up automatically.

WAKE UP its why the producers have rigged this year and stuck marc, helen nikki and that other bellend back in cause they could see Danny and the boring ones had it sewn up and they needed to rescue their show.

Yes for sure Marc is being protected by the producers thank god, or Danny and his little gang would sail through to the most boring final since BB4

That doesnt make ANY of them a bully mind you, look up the definition calling people names is not bullying... period end of story

[Beetlejuice]

So I must have imagined Christian basically telling Joel to watch his back since he stopped towing the line

He was telling him to watch out for Marc and Helen, who drag people down.


I must have imagined how every week they noms arent fixed the people up are always the ones Danny and Christian want up

I'm sorry, how is that an example of bullying? And the noms have been fixed every week.


I must have imagined how the ones not in that little clique all know you cant go against them or youll be up automatically.

And then Big Brother will twist it to save whoever they want anyway. WHo has that "clique" gone for exactly?

WAKE UP its why the producers have rigged this year and stuck marc, helen nikki and that other bellend back in cause they could see Danny and the boring ones had it sewn up and they needed to rescue their show.

They've stuck them in there because their show is unwatchable and they're desperate. The idea they're all in there because Danny and his gang have taken over their show is so laughable I don't even know where to begin.

Yes for sure Marc is being protected by the producers thank god

So you admit that. And you're happy with it all being fixed to keep him in. Okay.


or Danny and his little gang would sail through to the most boring final since BB4

It's the worst series of all time regardless of how bad BB4 was. And the viewing figures reflect that.

That doesnt make ANY of them a bully mind you, look up the definition calling people names is not bullying... period end of story

Repeatedly calling people names designed to hurt is bullying. Covering your arse by calling it "banter" is manipulative. Ergo Marc is a manipulative bully.

[JTM45]

I really think if they pull another blatant rig-job to save Mark it will be the final straw for a lot of viewers and i can see a lot of people completely losing the will to stick with this Series of BB.
What would be the point of sticking with it if you're not a Mark fan and the show is just being fixed for him to stay in the house and probably 'win' (if you can call it 'winning').

The producers are just having a laugh at the expense of the viewers!:facepalm:

[RodHull]

Please dont try to twist my words it belittles both of us... :nono:

Im not suggesting danny is some gang boss running the show. But the producers clearly saw that the new 4 would all be picked off one by one by the little group that formed of Danny christian Jack and chloe and as TV producers you can bet your ass they panicked cause they know how hella dull a final with those 4 would be

Its just human nature they formed into a group of old vs new but clearly those 4 were (whether knowingly or not) calling the shots cause Jade was kind of a loner, nik is just nik and floats about being useless and Joel like Jade was always a bit of a loner as well. Danny and the others would have put up new 4 then Jade nik and Joel in that order guaranteed

It was obvious after about 3 days of the new ones going in

So yeah Marc has clearly been sent in to ****** with that groups powerplay. Good frankly

But back on topic none of them are bullys, calling people names is NOT bullying

Dictionary definition

use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force them to do something.

Amusingly the only person whos tried to intimidate anyone has been Danny on 3 occasions

[Kate!]

He shouldn't have been exempt from tag nominations. Could it be any more obvious that they are fixing it for him to stay in till the final. Yuck!

[Beetlejuice]

Please dont try to twist my words it belittles both of us... :nono:

I haven't twisted anything. The producers have ruined the show and are now reliant on pointless twists and desperate stunts. That's why Marc and the "Legends" are in there.

Im not suggesting danny is some gang boss running the show. But the producers clearly saw that the new 4 would all be picked off one by one by the little group that formed of Danny christian Jack and chloe and as TV producers you can bet your ass they panicked cause they know how hella dull a final with those 4 would be

The moment Jack is up, he's gone. So that's one of them gone. And even if that wasn't the case, it doesn't justify rigging the show, which ultimately will just lead to its destruction.

Its just human nature they formed into a group of old vs new but clearly those 4 were (whether knowingly or not) calling the shots cause Jade was kind of a loner, nik is just nik and floats about being useless and Joel like Jade was always a bit of a loner as well. Danny and the others would have put up new 4 then Jade nik and Joel in that order guaranteed

And so what? The four of them like each other. All the others had to do is get together and put Jack up.


So yeah Marc has clearly been sent in to ****** with that groups powerplay. Good frankly

He was sent in to cause drama to get the sagging viewing figures up. Same as Helen, Nikki and Brian. The reason the show is in the state it's in is because the people running it are incompetent buffoons.

But back on topic none of them are bullys, calling people names is NOT bullying

Dictionary definition



Amusingly the only person whos tried to intimidate anyone has been Danny on 3 occasions

Let's go with the full definition here including synonyms...

bully1
ˈbʊli/Submit
verb
gerund or present participle: bullying
use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force them to do something.
"a local man was bullied into helping them"
synonyms: persecute, oppress, tyrannize, torment, browbeat, intimidate, cow, coerce, strong-arm, subjugate, domineer; More

Oppress, tyrannize, torment, browbeat, intimidate, domineer...

All of which Marc has done since he entered the house and especially since he was given power.

Apparently we now live in a world where a kid that is repeatedly called names by another kid in school to the point of him ending up in tears isn't a bully though. Because calling people names isn't.

Sorry, Marc is a bully and a manipulative one at that. But you justify this and the rigging of the show in his favour because, well... I still don't know to be honest. Because a show that was already **** will still be **** if they don't.

The freedictionary has a slightly different definition as well...

bul·ly 1 (bo͝ol′ē)
n. pl. bul·lies
1. A person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people.


Doesn't sound like Marc at all

[BB4fan]

nah mark is the man, all the others are just horrible back stabbers.


Agreed, they are all ass pockets who backstage. Marc and Helen are what they are.

Jack is disgusting.

[JTM45]

Marc and Helen are what they are.


They are indeed!
Both total assholes. Mark was almost bearable once he initially settled down and intergrated into the house but as soon as big bad Helen got in there he was lost under her awful influence.

He's become as tedious as she is now. The pair of them (Mark even moreso than Helen now i think!) are just ruining the series for me. The housemates haven't been allowed to naturally develop and come out of their shells because he's there waiting to jump on anyone who shows any signs of doing anything!

The guy's a parasite!!!!!:yuk:

[bbusfan]

He can prod away at me :)

You are spot on...Marc's being given the favouritism Helen was last year and I fear we could end up with any vile winner.
Shame because Marc grew on me before 'The bunker'...now his true self has emerged with the influence of that vile piece of ****e.
Marc has become too big for his boots. Maybe he thinks by being a prick like Helen he will win it like she did. Judging by the support he and she gets on this forum, I think it will happen..and both got an unfair helping hand.

I agree, I noticed too his 'banter' was always really one sided... if the other person isn't finding the comments funny it isn't 'banter' is it?
The 'tick ye' comments and the fat jibes are just boring even helen has stopped pretending to be amused by him.

When Helen is no longer amused by bullying then that's very worrying.

D::omgno::facepalm::omgno:D:D::omgno::facepalm: :facepalm:


I really thought she would be lapping him up, but she seems irritated. If he ever went for her, she initally laugh it off, then get annoyed, then she'd bite back, however, I reckon even Helen would get upset. Yes, even Helen.

Disagree, Vanessa. Marc would destroy Helen, I feel a poll coming on Helen V Marc!!!

Marc is very good at interspersing his heinous behaviour with cheap charm however it's fake. He's probably nastier deep down. Helen is nasty too, but evebn i could see does have a thickly veiled nice side to people she likes (she did care about Ash, Steven, Biannnca ,Tamara last year, whereas Marc doesn't give two s**** about Showbiz unless he agrees with him) Marc will know which buttons to push against Helen, grind her down with drip feed nastiness and Helen will cry like a baby.

I saw that, too and thohght the same initially but I think he likes playing up the my mate Helen is really vile, card as that's her branding. He seems supportive on twitter. I think she's fallen out with Mark, Winston, Jale and Marlon. Weirdly enough she gets on fine with Ashleigh, now.

[Tarryn]

Helen and Marc are the same. One has a penis and one doesn't, one's had more surgery than the other... apart from that they're pretty much identical.

They are a two-headed monster but I honestly feel that Helen just looks bored of Marc now.
I bet she can't wait to get out of there & collect her fee.
I would not be the least bit surprised if next week Marc is up for eviction & BB change it to Vote To Save as they know Marc has a better chance of staying then.
Marc has totally overshadowed any normal conversations or tasks for me.
I used to love watching BB but now I find myself just rolling my eyes at them placing such an immature prick in there like Marc.

[alex_front2]

She's definitely not as keen on Marc as she was in the bunker. She was practically begging Harry to let her get involved in composing Nick's poem, how many times did she reiterate she was good at writing poetry? When Harry was being crude "tuna purse", that was a genuine laugh from Helen.

[Jamie89]

How has this turned into a helen thread lol, people are obsessed!

And on the subject of marc, people are taking things way too seriously. He's participating in a gameshow that relies on conflict, he was brought in for that very reason because apparently people didn't like to watch folks getting along. He's being an a**hole sure but so what, he's clearly not bullying anyone, frankly it's offensive to suggest that he is because it weakens the meaning of the word and demeans real bullying victims.

They only show conversations that involve Marc or about him. When Danny and Nick were having a laugh on a recent hl, it only got shown imo as Marc was there. Otherwise, it would never see the light of day.

Remember the live feed in the afternoons ?.
They were the best bits of BB.
Just listening to the HM's have normal conversations about their lives.
I'm a celebrity still shows the normal things but BB just want arguments or sex.

[alex_front2]

LiamBB, not bashing Helen here. Merely pointing on last nights hl show was the first time she didn't look enamoured with him. She was at her happiest Nick poem with Harry. When Marc taunted Sam fat, Helen was surprisingly not joining in, in fact she looked a bit shocked. Helen was a cow last year butbin her head all her attacks were justified. Marc attacked Sam for no reason other than she had a mind of her own when nominating Harry. Even Helen knows this.

When Marc bantered her "you're not as intelligent as I thought", I was expecting her to laugh and jokingly smack him with the towel. When he disrupted her on sun lounger she looked a tad irritated but gritting her teeth to keep on page. I also think, having spent time with Harry, she likes her more than she can admit as Helen isn't the type to want to be seen changing her mind.

[sosadbbend]

all this talk of bullies is just silly. Both Marc and Helen say things to wind people up. They do it such that if the person retaliates, they lose control and make fools of themselves. The others need to learn to deal with it better.

Look up the definition of a bully in a dictionary, you will find it describes Marc and his type of personality to a tee!
