ITVs Bias Towards Marcello

[BBXX]

Very confused at to what is going on. Off the back of HoH, Marcello is given his own secret task in the final week, and the reward is promotion for his own song? Sorry, what?

Added to that it’s clear there have been unsavoury comments edited out of existence.

His aggressive behaviour towards Sarah was edited out of the show.

L&L are always defending him or brushing over comments about his lewd topics of conversation.

His biggest competition, Ali, has previous HMs support for her edited to look like they supported someone else.

I know his agent who got him on the show also has clients for ITV but still, this is extremely weird bias.

worked well, last nights ep is up there with one of the best for the last week of the show

Sarah didn't have a bad word to say about him either

Sarah is his friend but he was still aggressive to her and people still would have viewed his behaviour negatively. Both can be true.

Personally I didn’t find the letters entertaining they were just the same format for each HM (aside from Ali). Sexually charged and creepy.

I came here to post the whole Marcello/Sarah argument but Endemol are now blocking videos from YouTube.

Yazfetto posted the whole thing from live feed but it's been taken down. The last I saw, one of mine has gone too.

[MTVN]

BB have never really cared for fairness tbh, there's been lots of things throughout this series which have seemed favourable to some housemates whether that's the edit, the choice of secret tasks, the allocation of roles in shopping tasks etc.

Their main concern is good television which Marcello did provide last night imo

Someone should give Marcello a shot at writing a Carry On. He's good at the saucy postcard humour.

I find it somewhat strange how Ali has changed. I mean she didn't want to think about anything suggestive initially because her parents might be watching the show or potentially be struck off. Now she's laughing at people farting and sticking their feet in her face. Even joining in with conversations that have sexual connotations.

Did she have a rod up her arse and has now relaxed ot was it all contrived initially? I can't work her out.

She's probably given up trying. With so few people in the house, conversations are going to be often within the small groups and with no close friends she can either sit there and listen or be alone. :shrug:

Just do what the others all do ..

Think of the worst possible thing then embellish and exaggerate it to something horrific then attribute it to Ali

It’s really bizarre. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such blatant favouritism on the part of the producers before. If there was any doubt before last night’s ep there isn’t now. They even played his song repeatedly on L&L.

The only explanation I can think of is that he has some kind of connections to ITV. He has close links to Junior Andre and my understanding is the Andres have connections w ITV?

Also - I might be wrong but I thought the third eviction was supposed to be a double. Based on bookies predictions and polls, Izaaz and Marcello would’ve both been out that week, but then they switched it to a single.

I know this might sound like I’ve got my tinfoil hat on to some, but when you add all this together it just seems clear they have some reason for/interest in keeping Marcello in and having him win.

Such a good point. Who are her alliances in there now? Nathan? She doesn't have many. So is she changing her stance to fit in do you think?

Yes but that just shows Sarah
using the wrong words


It was Sarah's fault

Of course, she aspires to be one


Pain they edited out the bit when he walks

it is OK

Sarah is seated
So he looks down on her.

Nathan is her main friend yes. I think it’s just a case of giving up the fight now on the home stretch. Pick your battles, y’know. There is probably a case of not wanting any issues because who wants that kind of tension when you have so few people?

[Mystic Mock]

I think that the Show wants Ali, Marcello, and Hanah to be the final three, so they're all getting different things to favour them.

That's my perception of it anyway.

[bots]

They have been featuring him a lot recently, but i would rather see marcello than segun and hanah

[Kate!]

I found Marcello's letters to be funny, endearing and articulate. Enjoyed the task.

I'll be honest I haven't laughed like that since the Season 3 finale of South Park that I watched a few months back.:joker:

Honestly no... I like a smutty joke as much as the next person but I just found myself rolling my eyes because every letter bar Ali's was just the same and it was just so predictable coming from Marcello - sexual, predatory, a bit weird... I just for it so predictable. It feels like when it comes to humour he has one setting and I am bored with it.

[bots]

The show has pretty much run out of steam since lily left, and that is largely due to the fact she annoyed the other hm's. I would imagine the highlights will be pretty grim from here on

Yes, a 48 year old woman lusting after a 20 year old is predatory.

I think the letters were brilliant....he did really well.

Ali has done a complete U turn. Watching her last night actually laughing and having fun was like watching someone completely different.
She knows she has a huge chance of winning..hence she was clearly gutted when she thought the Prize fund might go down AGAIN. She was even having fun with Emma on LF. Very manipulative and ingenuous...would rather see any of them win but her.

[Redway]

[Liam-]

It’s gotten so ridiculously obvious that they’ve got a hard on for him for some reason, protecting him with the edit, l&l audience members coming out and saying they were advised on what they could and couldn’t say about him and others, Will going all out to defend everything he says and does and now the episode last night, god knows why it’s happening but it definitely is

[Ray.]

No, they're talking about the age of the fictitious woman Marcello wrote about in Thomas' letter.

…(…what my thoughts are with Ali in regards to that earlier…no sex please, I could be struck off…!!!!!…)…conversation…

…BB is to me so not the ‘comfort zone’ of Ali …which I know that it isn’t for others either…but I do feel that Ali’s decision to go into BB, as media articles have said…has been very much influenced by the tragic loss/suicide of her brother…which is obviously very much life changing and levelling and would prompt these more ‘previously out of character’ decisions…and maybe she chose BB to apply for because the concept of living in a ‘diverse’ house sparked interest….?…there has been mentions here and there of Marcello, though…’over sharing’ in sexual content chat, shall we say…and it being something that his chat very much centred around…maybe Ali/not knowing what aspects would be aired and highlighted etc…did have a moment of panic, in feeling that sexual content chat was a frequent thing in the house so would that be the slant that the show took and set her in a light in being part of a show that wasn’t what she thought it would be…?…I mean, obviously I don’t know that/it’s just pondering stuff but it would also in some way explain her view as well and how she’s more chilled and relaxed more around conversations because as time has gone on, there has been a lot more balance and layer to those conversations and to other housemates as well…

She's fake AF, even Sarah & Tom said she kept changing her behaviour around them. They don't know who the real Ali is . But as we can see she's happy to analyse and label others.

[Ammi]

…anyways, and just keeping that off topic with Ali for a moment…?…I recall also reading that she felt ‘with expectations’ and whatever factors involved, that she hadn’t felt that she was able to be open about her sexuality when she was younger…I do feel that maybe her brother’s death may also have been a big contributory in her ‘later in life lesbian’ descriptive and decision …to live her life for today and for herself and for the whole person she is…

[GoldHeart]

The letters task was light comedy relief, Marcello did a good job ,and had me laughing :joker:. Especially the
" mother head " bit :joker: .

[FromBB8]

I agree with this. From what I've seen and heard Ali has been getting very favourable treatment on Late and Live - she could have been hauled over the coals over her early behaviour, but was protected and that set the stall out for the rest of the series. Marcello, yes, as said, and the producers seem to have decided that Hanah and Segun are the story of final weeks with the former coming out favourably. Cynically I wonder whether they did the late flash vote on Monday night because Segun and Thomas were quite close - they wanted to be seen to be 'fair' but keep Segun in.

The other is Nathan. If the highlights showed just half of his bitching sessions I doubt he would have beaten both Sarah and Thomas in the vote. Or, considering Helen Wood's success, perhaps he would have done. But certainly there is a level of protection there too.

In total aggreance.

I’ve seen a lot of people saying it’s bias because his song featured on the show, but this has definitely happened in previous seasons. Just off the top of my head I remember Anton fully performing his song on stage with a mic in the garden in BB12, and maybe slightly different but Coolio and Sisqo definitely performed their songs on CBB.

[Adamw92]

It’s actually baffling the lengths they’re going to to push for him to win. There’s like no criticism of him allowed what so ever on Late & Live. Anything he says or does is defended as just being “banter”, the secret mission to which the reward was solely for him to promote his awful song and then they continue to promote it on L&L.

Any other housemate is open for debate on L&L but any form of criticism for him is shut down by AJ and Will, like who does Marcello know working at ITV cause it’s so bizarre.

No I know, but my point still remains. He chose a tired, predictable and sleepy route to go down - full of innuendo. Lacking any imagination. It was like the mind of a horny teenager.

Fair enough.

I personally have missed having Comedy like that in this day and age as everything has to be "mature" and "sophisticated" nowadays, I normally have to go retro to find something more outrageous like Marcello's fan letters.

It probably does explain it tbf, only obviously Marcello thankfully is joking around rather than actually having women tagged whilst having sex with them.:joker:

But just to add, I think that I relate to Marcello on having a bizarre sense of humour that can sometimes be taken the wrong way by some people.

Because I actually do think that Marcello is overall quite harmless.

In week 1 though I did have a very bad opinion of him back then.
