i don't think it is an act. he is a nice guy underneath. you can see how happy he gets whenever anyone says something nice about him, he so wants to be liked. but isn't used to it

For someone who wants to be liked, he has a strange way of going about it

yeh it is strange, but i think he's so used to being disliked that he pisses people off coz he's like 'they won't like me anyway'

i know this because i'm like that. i'm nothing like Marc but a lot of people don't like me when they first meet me. so i don't make too much effort with them, and i'm a bit weirded out at first when people actually like me

I know what you are saying and that's why I grew to like him before The bunker. But he got really nasty again...the ones he befriended he put up (apart from Harry)...Sam and Jack didn't. Which makes me believe it was a tactical vote influenced by Helen because she wants him to win.
The people he likes have gone up...that's what's so hypocritical.

Have to agree. You really see him light up and get emotional at any kind comment even though he tries to hide it.

Coming where Mark is from and being as bookish as he must be for his level of intelligence he'll have built up a lot of walls to deal with slagging. As Cookiemonster said, he's used to being disliked so his defense is to pretend he doesn't want to be.
