Why do some people still associate Siavash and Marcus as good buddies?
 

It's very clear by now that Marcus and Siavash are not friends, they get on fairly well in the context of 'the game' and not nominating each other, but in terms of friendship; there is none.

Infact, Marcus has said several times that he's not friends with Siavash, and explicitly told Bea: "Do not associate me with that Siavash in there, I've got nothing to do with him, don't lump me with him."

Aswell as his talk to Freddie about Siavash feeding him to the wolves very covertly, as well as his diary room rants about Siavash just being in it for himself, playing the game hard but pretending not to, ensuring he's always out of the picture in any issue, etc.

Infact, Marcus feels his best friend is Charlie, and he's explicitly said this. And it was very obvious from last night's LF! He wants Charlie to win, too.

So yes, why do some people associate them in this way? Wishful thinking? :shrug:

I dont really know.

Idk.

I don't think Marcus even likes Siavash too much.

Ditto, I just find it weird when some say things like, "If one of them gets evicted, I'll move my support over to the other." Why? It makes no sense, they are not friends and they are rather different HMs to boot ...

I guess their personalities are fairly similar and the viewers generally like both or neither of them

I find their personalities rather different. Marcus is more manly and hot-headed, Siavash is laid-back and more feminine at times.

Marcus is also rather intelligent, insightful and witty, whereas Siavash is a bit dumb and simple. They also act very differently when it comes to women, their mannerisms are quite contrasting too.

For me, they are very distinct HMs, and I really couldn't relate them together in any convincing way. So I don't see the relation tbh.

The only thing that brought them together was Freddie. Freddie was friends with both and as a result, Siavash and Marcus spent some time together.

Since Freddie left, they have both gone their seperate ways. Marcus spent more time with Bea and Charlie, and Siavash with Sophie and Rodrigo

No - because he is bearing a grudge and is jealous of him and his popularity with the ladies!

:sad:

I think they are good friends.

They talk together a lot.

Yeah they still talk and chill together. Plus we dont have live feed so they might spend a lot more time together than what we see

Spot on! Their only association was block voting against the others, a mutually convenient alliance of sorts. But now that's a distant memory.
