I bet he applied , he seems the type to go on every dating TV show out there.

For me he seems to just says the same things re: women & sex . It is a bit cringe, would be nice to see something else other than that and his rapping.

Same. There’s always the possibility that he is showing more but the producers don’t wanna show it. His comments about women will get more attention after all

His talk in the diary room. I blinked and it turned to him talking about loving spending time with women. Wonder what he's like on the outside. Is it everyday a new woman or has he had a long term relationship or none at all.

This could be true. Once they decide what type of character they want you to be that's all the audience will get

Can't imagine women falling over themselves to get to him with that rizz :hehe:

Yes. I'm hoping there's more to him that that?

Is that what he said!? Did he honestly thinks that foul little story would seduce a woman? I would imagine it would be a massive turn-off, and halt any successful seduction in its tracks!

This is true, and I do believe that once the producers identify an aspect of a housemate that will generate interest, discussion and views, they will focus their footage on it.

However, the guy still made the comments they showed, and he still chose to claim to have a certain way of thinking about, and treating, women. Those facts don’t change even when there will be other aspects of his character that we don’t see.

In all honesty, he must be old enough and aware enough to know how reality shows work, and how certain comments made or actions taken, can create an undesirable impression of an individual, that can last for much longer than the length of of the series?

Therefore, I wonder if he proud of the ‘Lothario’ image he his presenting, and mistakenly believes that will win him fans and support?

Wow. I missed that, also.

@ bold; I think this is certainly true. ITV does seem to not do it as unapologetically as C5, but they obviously have to manage them as storylines to show how individual narratives are progressing within the house. Though, I think that in Marcello's case his persona is not getting away from him at all, but rather what we see is of his own crafting. It's hard not to want to see highlights of this as it gives clear evidence as to how he intends to play the game. I suspect he really thinks he's signed up for a different type of show. The producers may have also signed him for exactly that reason, in that he really believe he's some kind of crafty gameplayer, whereas he hasn't yet realized how it's usually the HMs themselves that get played by their own games...

He's still not as bad yet as other past HMs that ended up getting ejected for crossing similar social lines. But we shall see.

Tbh I personally don't have an issue with him talking about his sexuality, as I would be a hypocrite if I did that.

It's how he expresses it, and how often he appears to talk about sex that bothers me.

He doesn't seem to have any other interests.

Oddly enough he was extra sleezy with Rosie and Hanah last night after drinking ..

Hanah just laughed off all the comments but sadly Rosie soaked them up like a giggly schoolgirl when she was alone with him- unpleasant viewing imho

Rosie wants to be careful getting too cozy with Marcello imo, as he looks like he is going to be one of the hate figures with the public this series.

I wonder when the last time a straight person wasn't a hate figure on BB?

Gusto Brunt 12-10-2024 07:19 AM

He's not exactly good looking but he makes up for it with beefcake, and he's quite charming.

He pushes his luck with the ladies but I think he gets away with it.

Really !?

Gets away with it ?


I actually think his sleeziness will be his downfall one way or another

So far.

But I think as the complaints mount, and the smiles are wiped from the female housemates' faces, then he's in trouble.

But so far he's seen as a joker, someone who crosses the line but that could all end soon.

Well tbf there are far more straight Housemates in a BB season than there are LGBT contestants.

Although I do wonder if Martha could become what you're looking for as this series progresses.

Rosie seems to quite enjoy it, I think she's quite insecure so feels flattered by it
