Tbh I think Daniel-Lewis was tame in comparison to what I would have Tweeted him.

Are you serious?

In last nights task when they had to climb that ladder he was screaming like it was an episode of Gladiators.

It was so cringey i had to turn my tv down.

How did you not notice that? lol

[Me. I Am Salman]

I think Marcus is trying to be like Dave Lamb from Come Dine With Me
Its cringey

[flamingGalah!]

I like Marcus, BB wouldn't be the same without him...

And I'm not surprised by the tweet you got back off him, I would have been ever ruder!

[Cherie]

Constructive critiscism is one thing, being dowright rude is a totally different matter, Twitter is not really the place to air your views on his narration style imo....if you have a serious complaint you should put it in an email and send it to C5. I actually will have to rewatch last nights episode re the climbing ladder to see what all the fuss is about....! I havent noticed Marcus changing his style at all....must pay more attention I guess.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Skip to 26.14 and watch it till the end of the ladder task.

You'll see what i mean. The video is embeded so you have to click on "watch on youtube".

Youtube video

Did that honestly not make you cringe?

Its the music aswell.

Twitters the perfect place lol.

With an email you would just get a generic response but with Twitter he gave an honest reaction.

Its the music aswell which isnt Marcus's fault but my god is he over the top. As i said he is a cartoon version of his former self.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

C'mon guys watch that video and tell me im wrong.

[Beastie]

I like Marcus and his narration. LONG LIVE MARCUS. Brian should go before him!

Oh grow up. Marcus is a grown man and can respond to whoever he likes however he likes on Twitter. It doesn't matter a damn if he is doing the voiceovers on the show you like to watch. He's not a figure of such importance that him making a cheeky, frankly apt comeback to a rude message or replying "No" [the gall!] to your sorry ass is going to land him in hot water and have his face plastered all over print.

You are most definitely not wrong, BB is a mere shadow of what it once was, i hate to be thinking this, but i am slowly starting to get bored of the show as we dont have a chance to see the housemates doing normal things, we dont get LF, all we get is over edited tasks

This 100% - I'd have thought blocking someone like that would be the sensible thing to do.

If you (the OP) is rude initially, he has every right to respond to you in the same manner as you felt it appropriate to address him.

I don't have an issue with his voiceover at all - so you aren't saying what everyone else is thinking - I'm happy enough with it, it's not big deal.

This. I hadn't noticed anything wrong with his voice overs, BB wouldn't be BB without him imo

[Tregard]

He was starting to normalise again near the end of BB2011, but then the start of this series he was back to the more exaggerated tone of voice and telling jokes while narrarating :/

I much preferred his style way back when, much more basic, relaxed. But now instead of "Freddie and Marcus are in the kitchen", we get "Juh-Edward are in the KIT-chen, sharin' some Twin Love!" -_-

Then again, he's more of a host of the show than Brian is. He does the series' opening rather than Brian, he does the countdown for eviction rather than Big Brother, hell, is he not even listed directly under Brian in the credits?

How did you word the tweet? It doesn't look rude to me if you said his narration was over the top.

[emmetmcl]

He probably gets loads of stick over it, he did last year anyway.
It's not his choice to do it like this.

He was well within his rights to call you and a loser - I mean, you could have worded it a bit better.

I won't hear a bad thing said about him ;D

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Guys i didnt make this thread because i was unhappy with is response so can you please read through previous comments where i have stated this.

And to all you people saying you cant notice a difference in his voice over i will ask again to please watch the following video again and tell me that is not an annoying cartoon character version of the old Marcus we knew and loved.

Its inbedded so click watch on youtube and skip to 26:14

I really dont see how people enjoy that type of screaming banchee behaviour over a task its moronic and totally over the top.

WATCH THE VIDEO!

I have to say this @marcusBBbentley is ****ing embaressing on BB. You have become a cartoon version of yourself. Ruining #CBB for me

I doubt he cares if he is becoming a cartoon version of himself. I mean, have a look at his Twitter avatar.

In fairness though, I preferred it when he was more low-key but I like having a bit more of him on the show.

Overall though, I don't really mind. I like him though.

Not all of us care as much about it as you want us to.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Whatever then.

Theres people who agree and theres people who dont.

Thats life.

[Knitting Nana]

Regardless of what he says or what he's told to say, I still have to wonder why he has felt it necessary to exaggerate his accent to a comedic extent. Until recent years he had a perfectly natural geordie accent. It's a bit sad that he thought he had to do this.

[lairdbigbrother]

He's a fantastic narrator. I've not bothered reading the whole thread because i'm a bit busy, but I just think that he is really great.
He tweets me often and seems really nice Also follows me.
