Default ITVs Bias Towards Marcello

Very confused at to what is going on. Off the back of HoH, Marcello is given his own secret task in the final week, and the reward is promotion for his own song? Sorry, what?

Added to that it’s clear there have been unsavoury comments edited out of existence.

His aggressive behaviour towards Sarah was edited out of the show.

L&L are always defending him or brushing over comments about his lewd topics of conversation.

His biggest competition, Ali, has previous HMs support for her edited to look like they supported someone else.

I know his agent who got him on the show also has clients for ITV but still, this is extremely weird bias.

Sarah is his friend but he was still aggressive to her and people still would have viewed his behaviour negatively. Both can be true.

Personally I didn’t find the letters entertaining they were just the same format for each HM (aside from Ali). Sexually charged and creepy.

Yazfetto posted the whole thing from live feed but it's been taken down. The last I saw, one of mine has gone too.

BB have never really cared for fairness tbh, there's been lots of things throughout this series which have seemed favourable to some housemates whether that's the edit, the choice of secret tasks, the allocation of roles in shopping tasks etc.

Their main concern is good television which Marcello did provide last night imo

Someone should give Marcello a shot at writing a Carry On. He's good at the saucy postcard humour.

I find it somewhat strange how Ali has changed. I mean she didn't want to think about anything suggestive initially because her parents might be watching the show or potentially be struck off. Now she's laughing at people farting and sticking their feet in her face. Even joining in with conversations that have sexual connotations.

Did she have a rod up her arse and has now relaxed ot was it all contrived initially? I can't work her out.

She's probably given up trying. With so few people in the house, conversations are going to be often within the small groups and with no close friends she can either sit there and listen or be alone.

Just do what the others all do ..

Think of the worst possible thing then embellish and exaggerate it to something horrific then attribute it to Ali

I'm more independently thinking than that.

It's now Mandem vs T&T!

It’s really bizarre. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such blatant favouritism on the part of the producers before. If there was any doubt before last night’s ep there isn’t now. They even played his song repeatedly on L&L.

The only explanation I can think of is that he has some kind of connections to ITV. He has close links to Junior Andre and my understanding is the Andres have connections w ITV?

Also - I might be wrong but I thought the third eviction was supposed to be a double. Based on bookies predictions and polls, Izaaz and Marcello would’ve both been out that week, but then they switched it to a single.

I know this might sound like I’ve got my tinfoil hat on to some, but when you add all this together it just seems clear they have some reason for/interest in keeping Marcello in and having him win.

Such a good point. Who are her alliances in there now? Nathan? She doesn't have many. So is she changing her stance to fit in do you think?

Yes but that just shows Sarah
using the wrong words


It was Sarah's fault

Martha said Influencer herself
Of course, she aspires to be one


Pain they edited out the bit when he walks
up to Sarah as with sound
it is OK

Sarah is seated
So he looks down on her.

Nathan is her main friend yes. I think it’s just a case of giving up the fight now on the home stretch. Pick your battles, y’know. There is probably a case of not wanting any issues because who wants that kind of tension when you have so few people?

I think that the Show wants Ali, Marcello, and Hanah to be the final three, so they're all getting different things to favour them.

That's my perception of it anyway.

I found Marcello's letters to be funny, endearing and articulate. Enjoyed the task.

You didn't find the "Cougar" that he sent Thomas's way funny?

I'll be honest I haven't laughed like that since the Season 3 finale of South Park that I watched a few months back.

I don't know about you, but I know that I'm a simple soul.

I even still to this day crack up at things like SpongeBob writing to Squidward "to my tailfin" because SpongeBob thinks that he is now famous because he was on a Krusty Krab Advert for two seconds lol.
