[Liam-]

Yes, he's beyond vile

[smudgie]

Yes he deserved the warning.
I am beginning to wonder if he is totally thck alongside his rudeness.
As to his apology..nah, it just rolled off his tongue like the rest of his bullcrap.
Banter my backside.

[rionablue]

Marc isn't bullying anyone but he certainly deserved a warning. He is overstepping the line time and time again with his sexual talk and NO IT ISNT ****ING BANTER. He just doesn't THINK before he speaks and its really uncomfortable to watch. I fear he will eventually be ejected unless he tones things down. Just cos he goes up to someone and says sorry AFTER the event doesn't make him a good guy. I am fed with of him now.

"Oh, now you say it, I can hear it sounds terrible. I didn't mean it like that. I was just trying to make her feel better. Like when I was with that girl and she was saying no and I did it anyway, afterwards I could see maybe I should've stopped but at the time I thought it was okay, you know, just making her cry with my massive tool. And when she said no I thought it was banter. I never meant it to be taken the wrong way (etc)..."

NOT a Marc quote but an extension of the logic used to justify unacceptable behaviour.

[the truth]

hmmm overall he is out of control and has to be kept in line.....for these 2 incidents...hmmmm the picking up chole yes have a word, the bizarre chat with sam...? no that was nonsense but not quite worth a warning imo

[rusticgal]

Yes he deserved the warning...he does overstep the mark with his banter....and it is banter. He needs to know where to draw the line. I think he is used to male company and doesn't know how to respect women. He likes women to enjoy his male banter...he doesn't know where to draw the line.
When he said in the diary room that he is finding it tough because he is starting to like some of the housemates and doesn't want to like them nor them to like him...is a telling thing. It's almost like being disliked gives him a reason to be annoying and enables him to push the boundaries. Having mutual respect doesn't allow him to do this.

He was warned about the language used. You have to factor in intent. He was spouting stupid garbage but he was trying to cheer her up. Trying to cheer up your "victims" is hardly bullying 101.

agreed

[actor99]

Just because he gives the house a lift. We shouldn't really tolerate that kind of behaviour. Look at how we reacted to Connor. remember him. who really said much less. But there was a massive uproar to him.

[GypsyGoth]

Yep he deserved a warning.

[the_answers]

I thought the exposure to Jade in tears incident was worse.

So probably no.

[Lwize]

I made Marc my favorite as he's bringing viewing entertainment to an otherwise dreadfully-boring BB house.

But he could dial his testosterone back a bit.
Or give some to Joel.

..yep, this..no matter how it's spun or whether anyone likes him as a housemate/a person or not...it was the most bizarre thing to say to 'cheer someone up to make them feel better..'...so even taking him at his word and at it's 'best' etc...really a very sexually aggressive thing to say ....

Do you really believe that someone so full of "banter" is not completely aware of what he is saying and of its intent?

He was being a nasty twat. Every time he crosses the line he says oops, i didn't mean it, i was only having a laugh, its only banter. I don't believe that for 1 second. He has got a nasty side to him, and if he thinks he is not getting the reaction he wants, he dials it up until he does get it.

Everything Marc does is calculated and intended, any other excuse is just banter.

[Beso]

guilty.

Totally agree kazanne, he's been a brilliant HM & hope wins

[Mick]

The way I am reading it is that he actually has some power over BB.They want him to stay but are constantly concerned about the consequence's of allowing this.Not dissimilar to Helen last year.

The only difference is that she made many feel uncomfortable whereas I think some of the current HMs feel a worse type of threat from marc.He does use his bulk and body language as well as his mouth to dominate/intimidate.

Several HMs have mentioned concern RE his unpredictability especially when he has had a drink. In there they have to make there own entertainment so an unpredictable HM can be fun and well liked because of this but his versions of same are often perceived less so.

I always try to self case things and judge HMs on balance yes he does have some good points but tbh i would not like sharing that house with him.

Agree!

His banter isn't the type of banter i've ever experienced, i think he has a foul attitude towards women, and i really don't know how Sam can just sit there and smile at him as he says something so disgusting

[waterhog]

it really says more about marc then anyone - and as for sam liking that - well each to there own.

[johnx]

That was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to a lady.Go Marc!

[Shaun]

Yeah I only voted for the bottom option because it was unclear how many times he'd been warned before, so a formal warning was fair (if that's what was given).

[y.winter]

Yes, he's vile.
But it was such a disappointment that BB hasn't said specifically "Big brother is issuing you with a formal warning". sounded more of a tell off than an actual warning. They clearly looking for ways to keep him as much as they can in the house (that includes him being sent to the lair and therefore "apparently" receiving a made up immunity for next week's noms).

[ABigbother]

You can see that Marc could easily be a extremely violent person.
