Steve was a great story until it became clear that beyond the fact that he looked like a Bond villain he has zero personality and about as much charisma as a plastic bag. I had forgotten all about him until you reminded me of him.

Television producers require a personality. Pete was, Steve wasn't. You do realise the oxymoron in saying 'he was big in terms of ratings but so what?'.

Whatever your opinion of him as a housemate he is easily one of the most recogniseable faces of Big Brother. Hence the absurd logic of putting him in a photoshoot of - wait for it - recognisable Big Brother faces.

Just my guess BTW.

This. Pete is synonymous with the show. Whether you like him or not.

No. I didn't say HE was big ratings. I said the final he was in was and thought, fair enough. I think anyone going around and saying ***** this and wa*ker that, with his condition doesn't really prove you have a great personality to be honest.

It gets very predictable after a while. I agree with you about Steve, he was a huge let down in that regard. If he had a bit more about him, he could of been very good as he had the story behind him.

Fair enough, he is an iconic housemate and i understand people do like him but he just isn't for me, then again, a lot of housemates aren't. I suppose that is what opinions are all about.

LOL he's deleted the Jenny Frost article from his site, proof its wrong.

Good job on condensing his entire personality down to his illness.

Take away the tourettes and he was still clearly a loony tune. He was a natural character.

They really don't care what the fans think..

I really hope Emma has the BBLB gig.

Sorry if that offends you. That is the way he came across to me.

He's certainly gone quiet, and hasn't updated his site to say Emma is presenting.

[AJ.]

He goes to all that trouble & in a the end he knows little more then anyone on here & what he does know is irrelevant & hard to filter when 90% of the other stuff is wrong.

that's the tthing, he knows even less. at least a few people here had the press release, he clearly didn't even have that - despite his "contacts"!

[mrmarky]

What you guys going on about, I changed it back to emma at 11.30 ? Ooooh I though that might have slipped your minds funny how you only read certain messages from me, funny that.

Oh, so once again you haven't quit despite saying you would!

Why did you change it back at 11:30? You said you weren't allowed to do anything because of the embargo, remember? The embargo that would've told you who was hosting. Which wasn't Jenny Frost

Why would even think it was her if you really had the press release?

[mrmarky]

Changed it back at that time, got emma and brian correct I actually was given a fake press statement, unfortunalty come under the eyes from channel 5 for actually breaking all there news stories, they gave me the the false info about Jenny, once I realised I had been had I then changed it back to the original Brian (CONFIRMED) Emma (CONFIRMED) as I 1st wrote on my site, world exclusive...

Clearly you're making it up as you go along - if you were that confident in your exclusive you'd never have changed it at all.

Just for future reference, here's Marky's original article in screenshot form:

Fake press statement?

At 11:30PM?

From one of the UK's leading PR companies?

See, I'm quite tired and want to go to bed, but at the same time the stuff you're coming out with is so good I want to stick around and see how deep a hole you dig for yourself.

Fake press release.

Hilarious.

On second thoughts mods, can you keep him here? It's so very entertaining. Can't wait until the series starts.

[mrmarky]

I'm not denying that at all about Jenny Frost, YES we did report that - however at 11.20 we changed it back to emma.



Funny how the entire month we reported Brian and Emma as a world Exclusive, But according to you we made that up ?

Very interesting reading that

"Emma announced she was pregnant and decided to pull out of the presenting roll"

Putting aside the ridiculous spelling of "roll" for the moment and apply some basic sense.

Women are pregnant for 9 months. We all know that.

Emma's baby is due in December.

Therefore, she became pregnant in March time.

So either:

1) Emma Willis somehow didn't notice she was pregnant for 3 months

or

2) MrMarkey panicked when he (for whatever reason) was worried his story about Emma was wrong and came out with a last minute excuse that makes no sense whatsoever because he confused Emma announcing her pregnancy with her getting pregnant.

Close thread please
