It must be a great effort for him. The technique of using apparently cool calm blocking of valid objections, as he did with Bea that famous night when she broke down is also bullying. WHO does he think he is, Big Brother?!!!!

Oh come off it, Marcus never BULLIED Bea that night, he was just trying to tell her how her actions will have been perceived in the outside world, PLUS she started the whole thing and said some pretty vile things about his friend Freddie and about Marcus himself. No way was that bullying and she just broke down because he wasn't buying into her bullshit, that's all.
It really riles me when people play the bullying card when it's totally inappropriate.

It really annoys me when people call every little challenge bullying. Those people have obviously never been bullied. In the case of Bea if she had listened to Marcus and altered her behaviour she may well have avoided eviction this week. He was trying to help her.
In the case of Rod, Marcus has lived with him for 10 weeks and knows exactly what he is like at Food budget time. They all know that the personal items go on at the end so why does he shout from the beginning. He knows he is going to be told to shut up while someone does the maths. That would happen no matter who was doing the calculations.
