Granted, and I will work on the polling skills (first one!), but it's late and I wanted some quick answers - haha.
Also wanted an overall view, not segments.
Click 'none of these' if any other HM is bigger and state who in your post....

Ah don't worry. I'm not having a go or anything. Overall though it has to be Marcus right? He was involved in all the storylines really.[/rquote]
Well, love em both, but for me Freddie just edges it as he had more of the 'soap' like stories (Lisa's mob, coming of age with rabbitgate (and his American History X makeover), Bea...). Marcus and Freddie are equals for me in terms of characters in themselves - mannerisms, one-liners (although Marcus has the best one-liners)....But really as a pollster I shouldn't be getting involved in such debate

Think Freddie let himself down badly in the last few weeks, with his friendship with Bea and his burgeoning ego that had always been there but he was forced to hide becuz of the bullying he had to endure. In essence, we were kinda forced to like him and to deny his irrating behaviour. Think Marcus is irrating too but he's so bloody entertaining and consistent. That's why I'd have him ahead.[/rquote]
Well, I guess we could debate this one for a while. I did cringe at some of Freddie's antics at times, and he was immature, but in the end and overall I never felt 'forced' to like him, but really felt a connection with him as others did (for some odd reason - and I don't vote Tory by the way!).
I think Marcus could also be inconsistent on a few things (one day he hates em all, next day he loves em all) and his behaviour during Noirin (a good 2-3 weeks) was really tiresome (didn't really like him at that point). They both had their weaknesses, particularly due to two manipulative women.
I do believe Freddie amd Marcus were true to themselves in there....and both have kind hearts.
