I agree rubyroo... Mark can go ott but yes Christopher definitely manipulated the situation.

Well said. As things stand, Christopher is the most disloyal and untrustworthy.

if he no's all this - how can you be attracted to someone like this ? said all along christopher is weak.

Maybe Christopher was being honest and couldn't actually vote for either of the other two over Mark.

Mark and he have a bit of a strange friendship - as someone said they are already like an old married couple with the way they carry on at each other and all the drama.

Might have been seen as dishonest if Christopher had chosen those traits for Helen or Winston.

Sure he may also have been getting revenge for the times that Mark didn't select him for teams etc. which people interpreted as snubbing him.

Their relationship has been kind of like this with the way Mark has been treated Christopher so I guess he could have been giving back some of what he's been getting.

[rubymoo]

I think he did it to get a reaction from Mark (as it really isn't that hard!) to get more airtime, the game is definitely on, and from what i saw last night, it was Christopher who was very much in control!

Mark had a really tough week. I would question anyone's capability to deal with what was thrown at him this week, whether its the truth or not.

For me, Christopher took the opportunity to stick the knife in, which is pretty low given his supposed infatuation with Mark. Kicking someone when they are down is not the persona I would have expected from him given how he has been treated in the past, and from the way he talked previously.

I understood Mark's feelings but then I also understood Christopher's take on things (bearing the publics' remarks in mind).

But when they were arguing about it afterwards Christopher didn't mention that he was thinking of the public's remarks. He said he was trying to be 'fair'. Fair to who? He's a disloyal twat.

[Nell_McCoy]

Christopher's answers were honest but cruel. I'd rather he'd been a bit cowardly and more kind in his answers regarding Mark. There is no doubt his knowledge of public perception is weighing heavily on him and opening his eyes to Mark's worst characteristics. Christopher is still in my top two but he is not just as nice as I believed.

Trying to be fair yet he voted Mark as most likely to win with Winston stood there and after hearing all the Mark bashing from the past week. I wasn't born yesterday Christopher.

Exactly.

This ! Christopher as driven me nuts since the forum thing - he has obviously thought Mark was gonna win - talkabout a complete turnaround - i dislike him intensely now - he's behaved like a complete twat

[Sophiee]

I actually was thinking the very same thing. I could totally see where mark was coming from and it does seem strange if christopher really does think all this negative stuff about him yet keeps going back for more and thinks he could possibly be in a relationship with him, it doesn't make sense. seeing as they are the closest mark would most likely feel quite betrayed and upset. mark just doesn't put his point forward well at all, christopher is good at explaining and defence, even though his comeback actually had nothing to do with their argument it still sounded good .

It makes perfect sense if Christopher is using Mark in order to get sympathy. As well as getting sympathy for himself it turns the public against Mark. Before they began their "relationship" Mark was the favourite to win. Not now.

christopher doesn't come across as that sort of person though, I actually think he's the most genuine one in there and he's always had a lot of time for mark. I don't think he'd do anything with bad intentions.

If he DID come across as that type of person it would mean his game plan was failing miserably. Can only work if you convince people.
If he has a lot of time for Mark why did he not choose him as most loyal and most trustworthy? What was the motive for it?

true but I just don't think he has a gameplan. so mark had gotten cheers in the past, but so had he and he'd been surviving every eviction. it was only the housemates that assumed mark was favourite to win, there was no evidence of such thing.
I don't honestly know and I don't think he did either but he realized he made a mistake afterwards by not choosing him, which is why he didn't give an explanation for it to mark.
