[Marc]

Marcus is awesome, he's nice and genuine!

You can tell Freddie adores him in a sort of wee brother/big brother sort of way.

I also think Freddie enjoys talking to Marcus...Wolverine can be quite philosophical and deep when he wants to be.

His flying kick moment was a classic.

But, because he doesn't fit in with the preening, pretty boy bender demographic the BB producers seem to love, he gets a bad edit.

Go Marcus!

[psykosue]

get the creep out

[superfanno1]

I will vote to save Marcus every time!

I don't really like or dislike him but one thing is for sure it's that he's great for tv!!!

He should have his on tv reality series!!!

Few possible titles:

-Markus knows best
-The dojo (the office like mockumentary about the life of a dojo manager)
-Karate of love (where 20 white belt chicks compete for Markus)
-Karate school (hot chicks learn how to defeat 100 ninjas)

have to admit he must make for the most cringeworthy tv but you cant help laughing at the delusional man. I wonder which mag is going to pay for a makeover for him

That's pretty much how I feel about him also. Unbelievable & unjustified self confidence in so many competitive situations and yet he's an insecure little boy much of the time despite his 35 years (no hearing aids though).

He's very funny & very watchable when it's not all about Noirin. No arguements, he's downright dodgy when he wanders into that territory. However, I do believe he wants to be around her & hold/hug/kiss/massage etc. her out of genuine feelings of love (or what can be regarded as love in the house after a few weeks) rather than some sort of pervy desire. His comments to Sophie & other sexist remarks are not appropriate, and come across very badly when broadcast. I just wonder if he has any idea that it is offensive to some or if any of the housemates have challenged him on it? Surely Kris, or Sophie herself, should have called him on it when he referred to her as "Tit bird" and asked him not to do it again?

He will be a legend to me in there for two major reasons though.
1. He was the first to spot Lisa for what she is, a selfish bully - when she berated the guys for trading a token for beer and said that she was going to use one for herself, despite the fact that about 6 others hadn't looked to use the first token either. He then stood up to her in the bedroom when she had a go at Freddie - again the first to do so. She had to back off because she knew he had her number, but of course she started to turn her gang against him then.
2. How he responded to Big Brother when they suggested at possible rascism against Sree. He was brilliant and cut BB to shreads like nobody else has before. John McCririck may think he was the first & only one to take on BB & win - well he can stick his bottle of coca cola up his ass, because Marcus was the man, in a potentially dreadful situation (I do believe that he could have been painted as a rascist had he not stood up for himself there) to take them on & deal with the very real issue of when over-political correctness makes a mockery of everything it is supposed to represent. I doff my cap to him for that.

He is still a ridiculous characature of a man, with some very questionable views, but he has been great tv in a house full of quite boring and/or more nasty types. Keep him in there.

well said

Have always quite liked Marcus - Noirin has been his downfall with the public together with bad editing. Hope he stays in a while there are others I would like out before him including Noirin

[yousoboo!]

You only like him now because he has stopped creeping out over Noirin.

Marcus IS hilarious....Its just a shame that he is most hilarious when he isn't trying to be!...I.E His outrageous claims etc. You know, the stuff that makes you laugh and cringe at the same time.
e.g : "No offence, Tom...but, like, i've been trained to kill someone with one punch or kick"

Still...top housemate, and i love his 'racism' rant in the diary room a while ago. Made his points very well inded.
