I agree about that.

Except that Marcus has one major chink in his armour - Noirin.

He's obviously put a lot of thought into things but his logic goes out of the window where she is concerned.

Sometimes he makes comments along the lines of knowing that he is making himself look stupid as well.

So he knows it, but he can't help it.

Thats interesting Blue.

But has Noirin really weakened Marcus's position?

Noirin has given Marcus the exposure he needs. The Marcus Noirin gig has been a very strong story line in the house and has meant both of them have had a lot of coverage.

Of course perhaps some of that has been a wee bit damaging for Marcus.

However i think the alternative for Marcus would have meant him taking a back seat in the house and with his otherwise general 'untrendiness' he would probably be in a weaker position.

I't is a tough one to call though, and you could be right, i have the feeling Marcus has thought long and hard over the two positions we are discussing here.

Re him saying and doing foolish things, well i think he is prob a bit like that anyway but may well be exagerating aspects of his personality in a bid to create good telly and to try and generate a bit of a following. the great british public do tend to warm to wallies after all.

His apparent stupidity is defo good telly and i think he is somewhat aware of this.

Marcus, like Bea, is also brave and exhibits (usually) a reasonably decent and balanced fairness.

His assement of other HMs are usually vindicated.

And best of all he is not afraid to challange BB or afraid to go up for the public vote.
