The outside contact via the newbees hasn't worked and now BB have pushed simon and marc into being controversial, it has backfired as they both now know they are unpopular on the outside. BB has underestimated the power of the pack and the likes of Chloe, Jack, Joel, Nick and to a degree Jade, have crushed the impact created by the twists.

If BB are not careful, their inane interventions are going to ensure we end up with a pack of dullards in the finals. Somehow they need to turn them against each other or they will ruin this series. Each one of them on a stand alone basis is pretty easy to deal with but if they are allowed to pack up and form a strong alliance, they will scupper all the interesting things going on in the show.

Marc and Sam wont go anywhere, Simon has been silenced, Danny and Cristian have been offered a back seat and a way to the finals by being dull, Jade Has her mama mantel back, Slapper Harry is allowed to play games and gain an important position within the group as someone current and not what she is, a gamer. The whole show is imploding and has no real definition to it. The only constant is that the pack will go on surviving and influencing things on a daily basis.

well fellow grump, i agree to an extent, but a few key evictions of that little core pack, and its anyone's game again. I also think that Harry has the capability to shake it all up. I know she's not liked well by the forum, but to me she has the wiles to break them apart

Nick is the key, get him out.

I agree with you all but under the current regime, BB wants them all to stay so until the day comes that they let the show do its own thing, the status quo wont alter and we are soon to loose marc and simon through either walking or evicting. They are both fragile at the moment and need a boost that involves the publics feelings of love towards them. They wont do anything interesting if they think they are hated on the outside.

I think Marc will bounce back when he gets a second wind. I think he is deflated because he got another bash from BB and told to go to bed. He has also stopped drinking which probably has something to do with it. The problem before was that he was just too over the top, toned down a bit, it will be much more effective

Marc's just run out of steam with his antics. The question now is, is there more to him? He could be an interesting housemate rather than a moronic one.

I don't think it's his antics.
It's cos the group are targeting him and no-one wants to be on his side.

Harry jumped ship instantly for safety
Simon took the brunt from the group and just backed down after mistakes.
Sam is now abandoning ship taking her chances.

It's all cos of the Eileen eviction.
Eileen cleverly placed herself between both groups and as a reward, got the boot.
Now the pack are closing in for the kill.

But had Joel gone instead, Danny, Jade and Nick would have swayed more towards Marc, Simon and Sam.

It was a cr*p result for the show IMO.
