Marcus's Warning. Fair or unfair?

[dennissabre]

As much as i agreed with what he was saying in his DR speech. I suppose if he was was making threats against the departed Sree about 'meeting outside' then BB were right.

Fair or Unfair will suffice or even F or U. I know how difficult it is in this heat. :xyxwave:

Fair

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Fair, he WAS aggressive in his tone and choice of words towards Sree.

[HELLIWONTGO]

No, and you know it, I don't know how you can suggest such a thing?
He was speaking up for all the frightened sheep in there, well apart from Freddie
When he said next time Sree starts I want you all to be witnesses, they almost shaat themselves!

[Alf]

it would have been if they had of issued cairon with one
when he said "stand up and say it to my face"

and to Lisa for jabbing at freddies head to emphasise the point she was screeching at him at the time.

[Clockers]

Dont like Marcus, (don't like any of the housemates) but his comments were spot on, no one gets pulled up for mocking anyone elses accent but mocking Sree's is seen as offensive, which is ridiculous.

To say he does not have it in for Sree is bull, Marcus will pick on Sree on everything and anything.

That was then this is now, with Sree gone and Freddie invincible, it hard to tell who is next for the firing line or bullying.

[vesavius]

Yes, the warning for the threatening behaviour was fair. He shouldnt have offered him out in any sense, thats just obvious.

But Lisa should also have been warned for attempting to physcially intimidate Freddie and commiting actual assault on him.

And Sree should have been warned as well for raising his fist to Noirin.

The only difference was that Freddy and Noirin didnt play the victim card and Sree did so BB was forced to act.

So glad he is gone, the little pr!ck.

[Clockers]

Now he has been in the diary room twice, the 2nd session Marcus was in the wrong.

yes, agreed. :thumbs:

He should have just taken the vindication BB allowed him over the imitation issue, said sorry for the threatening behaviour later on, and just left.

He was obviously just still very angry though.

[Shasown]

Formal warning for Sree saying he felt threatened, yet theft and blackmail just let slip through, just shows how far our society has slipped into a moral abyss

[Ned]

I think he shouldnt have gotten a warning.
He was totally in the right.

[Clockers]

He was overly aggressive towards Big Brother too, he has I am always right attitude and cannot take any critisim on the chin and move on.

[Cody™]

Agree he was a tad threatening but i agree with EVERY SINGLE thing that he said in the Diary room. Best BB speech ever!

[Lauren]

Fair. He was threatening.

But, Lisa also deserves one from when she aggressively pointed at Freddies head when saying he was paranoid.

[Miss-red]

for it to be fair they have to be consistent with there warnings. lisa went under the net poking freddie but marcus gets warned for words. its not right. i agree with everything he said in the dr that will live on as one of my best dr moments ever

[bonnie43uk]

fAIR, you cant use threatening behaviour in the house, they all know that, but as lots of people in here have said .. others have gotten away with it.

Am i right in saying Markus's warning was NOT for mimickery of Sree's voice, but for his threatenin behaviour towards Sree in the garden.

i dont think anyone would say the voice thing was racist.

Yep, 100% right.

Some people are getting the two issues mixed up.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I totally belive it was fair, the thing about Marcus is just cant admit when he has done wrong, & what made him more angry is BB sussed him out.

Get the arsehole out:mad:

[setanta]

Completely fair to have warned him on his behaviour- the guy is an arrogant thug. He's an aggressive kno-it-all.

[30stone]

Using Sree's accent, was funny.


But yeh i think its pretty fair, i think Sree deserves one.

your sports channel is , as the younger people would say 'pants' !!!:joker:

[GiRTh]

Totally fair. And, its a fair measure of the man that he couldnt take the warning on the chin. HE's a sad t**t.

[RCW1945]

"shows how far our society has slipped into a moral abyss"

Could this be fairly described as just the slightest bit exaggerated?

PS BB 1 Marcus 1 an honourable draw.

[setanta]

it's not about a moral abyss. he threatened somebody in the house. forget about the fact that it was the idiotic Shree, he still did it and it was very uncomfortable to watch. the fact that he wouldn't accept his warning made my blood boil. he's unable to see reason when it concerns himself and his own inflated ego. there's right and wrong in a situation like this, and he was wrong to talk to Shree about meeting outside after. oh, the man bugs me so much

[28thapril]

unfair -- what goes on inside the house is down to bb all h/m's know no violence! IMO sree walking towards marcus with hands swinging was just as bad baiting a situation!

outside the house no holds barred-- but marcus wouldn't waste his breathe on sree:flower:

[decdec456]

Fact of the matter is it's a disgrace at what Lisa gets away with to Halfwit and double standards were definately in play here

[crollsy]

I think that everything he said in the Diary Room was the truth, however, I can see how his "say that to me outside the house" comment could be seen as threatening. Fair.

[witchy666]

What a load of rubbish BB, Marcus was correct in what he was saying in the DR.

[dhwthrn]

Fair. Marcus used threatening language.

[xmynxiex]

Marcus warning should be deemed fair. But in acordance to how he reacted is justified. Its a case of double standards in that house. Like i said last night its 1 rule for 1, and diffrent for another. :nono: Shame on you BB!

It was ONLY LATER that BB said the warning was not for the mimickery, when they were trying to save face after being so comprehensively slaughtered by Marcus. The belated warning was a desperate attempt by BB to recover some lost kudos and as such was an epic failure on their part

BB has been guilty of double standards on many occasions, the most memorable by this incident was when they hushed up the sex act between Anthony Hutton and Craig Coates in BB4(?) following a particularly riotous and boozy night.

What made this a case of double standards was that whenever there has been any 'nookie' between male and female housmates, this has been considered a source of intrigue and amusement and furthermore it has been lauded,discussed, and celebrated on the eviction shows and shows such as BBLB. But in Anthony and Craig's case, because it was between two men, BB completely covered it up. A clear case of double standards.

NB Ever since that infamous night, it is to be noted that BB has drastically limited the amount of alcohol made available to housemates!!!

I remember it being presented as two seperate issues, even at the first sitting, with the immitation simply not being pursued the second time...

I'd like to watch the whole thing again tbh, is it up on 4oD yet? or is that a dumb question?

[Patrick]

UNFAIR

[Jack_]

Completely unfair, I'm just disgusted that Sree didn't recieve a warning for insulting Halfwit regarding his dyslexia, or the bullying he was getting from Lisa and Kris the other night.

Maybe because Sree is an untouchable Indian. :whistle:

[LolaSvelt]

No, it was a little silly.

lollllllll im gonna pretend i ddnt see that one...

errm yeah id say fair,some in here think it was unfair marcus got a warning yet reckon sree was threatening for flailing his arms around?i can pretty much see if marcus was flailing his arms around and got a warning there would be threads in here saying ooh how unfair was that?

and not to put too finer point on it,but had sree said "wait till your outside and say it to me" there would be some overly dramatic threads saying how dare threaten marcus. so yeah it was fair he got called out for the threat made..

but the immitating srees accent was soo not racist,any time kris does fredstars accent is no diffrent to srees accent being immitated yet that never got no mention..so marcus done good to take on bb last night..

It was this comment that were the issue. I'm sure it was said in anger because he genuinely dislikes Sree to the point he would meet him outside. Just not a good idea to say it in a house full of cameras and microphones. :whistle:

[BB_Eye]

Unfair

I actually hate the guy, but BB needs to remain impartial with housemates are in there.

He was totally in the right.
Oh! I was disappointed! I was hoping they would kick him out.
The warning was fair about his aggressiveness towards Sree. He totally started the row and completely lied about it. I agree with his comments about the race card though, but this was not Srees fault and was due to bad handling by BB.

Mind you, there's so much man love in this house, with Marcus being the only 100% hetro male left we shall have to see if there are any cover ups like there was with Craig and Anthony

[RCW1945]

Did you rate the A&C as a sex act?
I thought it was an act of vomit and falling down.
Still, chacun a so gout.

[Saku]

Not a Sree fan in any way, but have to say the warning giving to Marcus was fair. If someone had spoken to me in that way I'd think it very offensive and threatening :nono:

[mado]

it was fair

but only the part were he said speak to me outside


the part were he imated sree language marcus was spot on when he argued back with bb
