At this rate I can see him being evicted over Laura on Firday if he keeps this up

I think Trump could be a great president if he calms down

I am all for people having their own opinions, but you seem deliberately blind to what he's done.

He absolutely has been nasty and malicious: his behaviour on Friday night was atrocious, threatening violence and squaring up to someone who had been in the house for all of ten minutes. And he was bitching about Georgina when she was annoyed about the microphone thing. You can't judge on what we haven't seen, because we don't know what hasn't been aired, we can only base opinions on what we have seen.

Why is Laura to blame for this? He seems to be quite physically forceful, and she's made a number of attempts to back away now.

She was very willing and no one forced her. Last night she told Marco she only wanted to be friends and he respected that.

He respected that by ignoring her and flirting with Emma

Emma has a boyfriend, doesn't she? I think they're just friends. But he is a massive flirt.

Perhaps she doesn't remember? Why should she have to tell people anyway?

By saying 'and we can **** all the time when we get out' when the hall pass was supposed to only be for BB?

He'll never be entertaining, he's obnoxious, loud, spoilt and has an awful personality.

I disagree, I think there are reasons to like Marco being his energy and being irritating enough to spark a debate on forums and in the house.. But i have seen him be nasty and malicious in the last week on more than one occaision. I think he could be a great housemate too but for all the wrong reasons. I don't really understand what you're seeing.

He's unique and we have never had someone like him on the show. Also he's taking all the blame for the Marco/Laura thing, which i find unfair. It takes two to tango.

Yeah hes pretty unique (for an adult, theres plenty of children like him). I just dont see how you dont find him nasty or malicious. He obviously has been. He's not all-good, you know that!

But he's still only 20, so still has a lot of growing up to do. Laura is a decade older but people still blame Marco for this and some even think he forced her

20 is the age of a fully grown adult. There are reasons to support his positive traits, there are not reasons to defend his negative ones, hes just a prick some of the time.

No, he had a pass, even his girlfriend confirmed it.

dress it up how you want its still cheating and if he cared about the woman he asked to marry him then he wouldnt even look at another woman let alone chew her face off

No, it's not cheating because they both agree. Cheating is when you do it secretly.

His relationship with his fiancé is no more real than the one with Laura....she must be puddled to think anything otherwise....she's 34 and got engaged to MARCO ..,after only weeks of knowing him....:laugh...who in their right mind would do that ? ...really

[Jack_]

I see no one's pointed out the fact that neither of them are to blame yet.

To start with it's worth mentioning the fact that Laura isn't in a relationship, so she is entitled to do what she likes. In normal circumstances it would not be her responsibility to not cheat on her partner, but that of the person she's playing around with.

That said, Marco and his girlfriend have both said he has a 'hall pass' to effectively do what he wants while he's on Big Brother. I realise he said it was an open relationship too, but that doesn't dissolve the hall pass that his girlfriend has said still exists. In which case, per the terms of it, he is also entitled to do what he wants and it is the business of no one else to criticise him for it. You can dislike him all you want (and I obviously understand the reasons), but it is his and his girlfriend's relationship and not ours. If she said he was permitted to do this, then that is that. I think some people are allowing their distaste, misunderstanding and personal opposition to having a hall pass (or an open relationship in general) for themselves or their own (hypothetical) partner to cloud their judgement. It doesn't matter whether you couldn't operate your relationship in the same manner (I couldn't either, btw), it still exists and it is up to Marco and his fiancé to determine whether that's acceptable or not and not a bunch of Big Brother fans.

Open your minds. Criticise his behaviour all you like, but slating him because he has a fiancé when said fiancé has said the hall pass does exist is just stupid. Those are the terms of his relationship and it's about time people started to understand them.
