Can you please let me know how many of the HM's wouldn't want the same. Answers on a £10 note to ......Newsflash, they are all in it to win it and will all try to get coverage, why pick on Marc just because he is doing it the right way.

Yes, but why waste time when the lazy producers can cherry pick and still get it so wrong, housemates going by their appearances on other shows and/or knowing each other beforehand. The days of virtually unknown but usually far more interesting housemates who play the game with little insight on how to are now sadly gone.

Which is fine but none of them are just there for the experience havent been since BB3 tbh

There are a lot of people who audition who only do it for the experience; the majority, in fact. The show chooses fame-hungry people because it means that, if they get famous, they can say that Big Brother got them famous and the show will in turn get some exposure as well (more viewers).

Get how most of the housemates this year are half-famous? A lot of them already had fan bases prior to appearing on Big Brother. That means more viewers for the show because all the housemates' fanbases will be watching.

When will he realise he's not a dumb performing monkey and stop swinging through the garden whooping picking nits from helens hair?

Chloe is not, this became apparent during her "I'm the only normal one" rant.

Don't they all? Well most of them anyhow, this is the way it's going to be now unfortunately unless they stop scouting for HMs through agents etc and go back to picking normal people through the audition process

The era is auditon process is gone. Nasty Nick didn't know he would gain notoriety, but cashed in and people took note from following series.

It began to go down the agent wannabe routine from series 5, after the disastrous BB4. BB4 was odd as it came after Jade Goody (RIP) saw her fame explode from the series before but it felt like the producers were embaressed by her fame and went for boring one for BB4. They realised Jade was what makes these shows so they returned to this for Bb5.

However, tptb really cranked up the showbiz wannabe types from series 7 onwards. Types like Imogen were just there to further modelling/ showbiz careers.

Marc's academic record is vague, has he got a MSC, PhD or a BSC in Organic Chemisty.

Im starting to question that term "reality TV" a lot. How much of it is real anymore? Only Danny and Christian have come across as real so far in what little i have watched. And that is including the BB legends too.

I want him to complete his scientific studies and spend the rest of his life testing people's pus-filled biopsies. It's what he deserves.

The only person who seems really is Jack. You may not like him but I can believe he's the same irl. Ditto Joel ( Joel is really unself aware eg singing Katy Perry makes him look......camp and not very hetero)
