Of course he was intelligent......articulate, quick witted, humorous, devious, charming, duplicitous, annoying, self deprecating, addictive viewing and not only able to read every body and every situation but also gave really good advice to people who trusted his opinion.. A BRILLIANT HOUSE MATE

He didn't get evicted because he is stupid he got evicted because so many viewers are stupid.....

If the house was fire bombed i know where he'd be....helping everyone he cud while Danny, Sam and Christian run for the door

*sigh* My goodness, you still haven't read my posts properly. I have already told you that he didn't go into the house to make friends and be liked but it would have been better for him if he had as well as stirring things up as it would have been a better balance and might have got him the win. I've put it in bold so you can't miss it this time.

:clap1:

*sigh* I did say

" Use facts and not just what your own game plan would have been. "

I didn't use bold, maybe I should have.

You said to prove to you that Marc went into the house to make friends and be liked. As I never at any time said he did, I didn't need to prove anything other than the fact that I didn't say it.

Lmao, it must have been me talking about making friends and influencing people. Good thing you didn't put that in bold.

So if you're admitting he didn't go in to make friends, then you can't say he's not smart because he couldn't get people to like him.

Which was your initial point right?

Pretty much saying he's academically smart but he's not street smart because he couldn't win people over.

That was your point, but feel free to change it to suit your argument at anytime.

.......the dumbest think mark did was to insult.........then imagine he

could just make it up by being considerate later............................

........ah well?

Mark L

:joker: Preach it Ashleigh

No, I'm saying he's not smart for not realizing that he needed to get people to like him. I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself...:bored:

The irony is delicious mate.:joker:

claim
 

you read any claim that i'm..............intelligent?

Mark L

So you think he didn't know that you needed to be liked to win a popularity contest ?

Keep trying mate.

Marc was more intelligent than the rest of them on many certain levels but not on others. But i really could not care less now. He has gone. Move on.

This is the post I agree with the most.

A man who is academically bright doesn't necessarily use that same brightness within his social circle. Marc had very little social awareness other than what he was being told from those coming into the house and he seemed to totally rely on that gift of knowledge rather than being able to sum himself up.

Academically clever but socially inept.

Some people are failing to realise that he didn't go in the house to make friends, they assume that he lacks the ability to make friends on the outside world which is a totally different thing.

He thought he had no need to try to be liked as he thought his so called 'charm' and banter (which was mostly cruel and nasty) would have the majority of the public doting on him automatically for the 'entertainment' he was bringing. He was wrong and got shown the door = not socially smart. As I've said, he should have shown more of his nicer side to redress the balance.

There's a pattern forming here, get proven wrong and reply with your own thoughts and ideas on how he should have played the game.

I'd be happy to discuss it further if you want to open a thread outlining how you think Marc should have played the game. Because let's be honest that's all you've talked about.

I have no idea what you are talking about; I have remained consistent throughout this discussion of Mark's intelligence or lack of it in certain areas, whereas you consistently misunderstand what I say over and over again and go off on a different tack every time. I'm sure you agree that it's boring now. I'm out. wavey:

Sure pal, that must be it.
