Top 3 reasons Marcus is the biggest alpha male in BB history
 
1. Only housemate that's ever actually punched someone in the house

2. Made Sree suck his nipples

3. He drinks puddles


I don't understand how people don't think he's completely brilliant
Everything he says is gold

From the 100 man karate challenge to his food hygiene certificate, I don't think i've ever seen anyone so unintentionally similar to David Brent

Dillinger 24-07-2009 12:08 PM

In fact, someone HAS to make a Ricky Gervais/Marcus photoshop mashup

scot 24-07-2009 12:15 PM

Totally agree, he has created one of the greatest TV persona's off all time. And your right, a tv persona up there with the likes of David Brent. He's as good at it as Sacha Baron Cohen.

He is not just an Alpha Male - He is a Man-God.

BB22 24-07-2009 12:16 PM

"I drink puddle water"

The man is astoundingly entertaining.

tramp-stamp 24-07-2009 12:20 PM

i cant wait to see his reaction to the siavash/noirin thing

alc09 24-07-2009 12:21 PM

The quote from him last night - 'dont ever bet against the Irrepressible Darkhorse'.

Quality housemate.

ElProximo 24-07-2009 12:22 PM

I think his threat to sort out the boyish 110 pound university student 'outside' makes him easily one of the most powerful alpha males in BB history for sure.
Add to that his 1993 Golds Gym 'body builder' gear exposing his pumped biceps and his ability to terrify Sophie with flying Death Kicks...
...Agreed. This man is Alpha Prime.

Jack_ 24-07-2009 12:23 PM

The man's a living legend, people that want him out and would rather watch Hira are absolutely deluded.

Then again, most of these people are the ones who voted Rachel as BB9 winner. :rolleyes:

That is gonna be gold!

Thing is it might even increase his popularity. I reckon he is gonna take it hard. Might even see the macho man cry and that might be good for his popularity, might even bring round some of the viewers who currently despise him. The old sympathy vote.

Chels 24-07-2009 12:23 PM

don't forget he also eats cat biscuits :yuk::joker:

BS!...get yir slippers on and have a nice wee cup of tea.

If it wasn't for the man-god slapping the bully Lisa into place Sophie and others woulda been butcher meat for that odious pus filled witch.

HELLIWONTGO 24-07-2009 12:27 PM

I want Marcus to stay mainly for his d room rant that time, worth keeping him in for that alone, also anything to prevent the singing dim-wit from winning

4. He washes with a scouring pad.

minx36 24-07-2009 12:47 PM

He's also a musical genius ' skilled recorder player' ast****instounding!



Definately 2009 Christmas No.1!

Marc 24-07-2009 12:48 PM

Marcus > world

BB_Eye 24-07-2009 12:49 PM

5. He can teach karate -real karate by the way- to any housemate.

Must have read in his mum's heat magazine that The 80's look was back in fashion but someone forget to tell him that the 80's schwarzenegger look was a big no no :nono: .

Regarding is popularity it's true that the british public does like to laugh at David Brent type characters and that's why people keep on talking about him...wouldn't be surprised if he finishes in the top 2

RtooDee2 24-07-2009 01:08 PM

Whats with the "Get Marcus out" chant i here every Eviction night?
Are these people Morons? Without him the show will fizzle out and dissapear up Charlies arse!
MARCUS =ENTERTAINMENT! and BB knows this.

ange7 24-07-2009 01:18 PM

at his "old work" he could throw around 4 tonne trucks with is "bell end".

bettiepage 24-07-2009 01:20 PM

He can't be, he's being controlled by a woman. No alpha male would let that happen.

Luanda 24-07-2009 01:21 PM

I think Marcus is more David Brent than David Brent. Drinking out of puddles, fighting 100 men and then having the bottom of his feet come off, telling Tom the bit of his body that was wrong when doing karate was hit with a big stick, pulling a lorry with his bellend ........ it just goes on. The thing is he has absolutely no inkling that he is David Brent and will probably never get the irony. His browbeating of Noirin to make her think she cannot survive without him is classic inecurity on his part. If Noirin and Siavash get it on the top of his head will melt. The most endearing thing about Marcus is that he has no idea at all he is a tool.

He is controling a woman to make it look as if he is controlled by her giving him more airtime!!
That's pure alpha male genius!!

eh, what, nah, Marcus wouldn't need to use you to pull a truck. :pat:

Tom 24-07-2009 01:24 PM

Health and Safety expert Mario and his 14m fans and equal amount of jobs p*ss allover Marcus

ohflip 24-07-2009 01:24 PM

i find him very very entertaining..i couldnt even begin to explain why..its wanting to watch a crash as you drive past ....you know you shouldnt but you want to see it.

The one thing with out doubt is that hes an emotional guy and this shiv/nor thing will hurt him soooooo much

He's qualified to teach it.

I'm not being funny, but he learned at a traditional Karate school.

One move out of place and they whacked you with a Kendo stick...it's the only way to learn.

ElProximo 24-07-2009 01:27 PM

From time to time I question whether or not Marcus is aware he is a 'David Brent' or not.
I think Mario and Lisa did know they were doing this sort of thing,
but,
Just when I suppose Marcus simply must be playing into this, full well knowing he is playing into himself in a character...
..the next minute, I am even a bit worried... no, he actually is serious and is not aware of anything otherwise.
Yikes!

Shasown 24-07-2009 01:27 PM

Dont fancy dinner at his place cat biscuits washed down by puddle water

I disagree actually.
Mario took himself incredibly seriously, he was not joking at all imo. He really did believe his own hype.
That fella was a real prat.

Marcus is much the same, though somehow funnier with it. The fact that he has convinced himself of his own "awesomeness" is what makes him riveting.

Mario was totally unlikeable, for some reason Marcus isn't.

jacktara 24-07-2009 01:36 PM

Look the bottom line is that no matter how creepy or pervy he is, he is great tv. You have to leave in Noirin, Marcus & Siavash, otherwise the whole thing will go down the tubes!! It's really just starting to get exciting!!!

It's so hard to know for sure re Marcus. I've watched him closely and a few times when he's said something ridic he's almost laughed. It's like he's saying mad **** to see how other folk respond. Seeing what he can get away with. An Ali G job. Like he's ripping the pish out of them. I mind he was talking to bea about hygiene and he told her and a few others he drank puddle water. It was a dead pan delivery but his face nearly cracked into what coulda been a laugh. who knows. bea and the rest swallowed it though.

the man is an ENIGMA.

:devil:
A little misunderstanding here over what constitutes an "Alpha" in a primate social group.
Marcus is not in fact an "Alpha Male" - though he tries very hard to be.
The person who behaves in a true Alpha fashion is actually Mr Lisa, She does little, just sits in her throne (no-one else takes her "centre seat" at the Bus Stop) while her troupe fuss around her, coming and going, delivering up gossip and ciggies, and she only stirs herself for the task of roaring out defence and defiance when required.
Marcus on the other hand, constantly needs to chivvy and coax and brainwash his troupe into keeping online; he WANTS to be Alpha, but he is in fact more suited to a "Beta" role of enforcer.

Significantly, the BB House's "Alpha" female will not partner the wannabe Alpha Male, and is sniffing around both Tom & Siavash in hopes of finding a better candidate.
As with most BB shows, there is simply no-one there with the characteristics of a true Alpha.

For anyone who has a real interest in such thing, you should check out Jane Goodall's primate studies in Gombe, particularly with reference to the power struggle between "Freud" & "Frodo" (Marcus is "Frodo")

Useless but interesting titbit: Frodo the chimpanzee is famous for murdering a human.

Quote : "Add to that his 1993 Golds Gym 'body builder' gear exposing his pumped biceps"

"Golds Gym 'body builder' gear"?
I just thought it was called a "Wife-Beater Vest"...

Oh, and Marcus doesn't chew, apparently... just rips off lumps and swallows them whole like a crocodile, no doubt!

nah, your way-off re lisa as alpha anything, she challanged Marcus ages ago and was chewed up and spat out. what you've interprted as her throne is actually her hiding place, her banishment from the Kingdom of Marcus if you like. you need to get back to your books mate cos looks like you aint learned much from them.

It's a free country, you are of course at liberty to disagree with everything I've said.

I would point out however, that my observations are based on an understanding of the subject matter, whilst your riposte does nothing to advance your own viewpoint - in fact is is little more than semi-literate (and that's being somewhat generous) abuse.

It's hardly surprising you are a Marcus fan - Troglodytes will stick together!

I understand that there are people like yourself who have an irrational fear of anything that smacks of erudition, but I can assure you it's not catching; you seem to have a natural immunity, so you have nothing to worry about...
