You should probably apply that to Marco then, since you are content with putting all the blame on Laura.

They're equally to blame.

Really? Doesn't really look that way going from the posts you've made on the matter.

That's because i don't like her.

I see no one's pointed out the fact that neither of them are to blame yet.

To start with it's worth mentioning the fact that Laura isn't in a relationship, so she is entitled to do what she likes. In normal circumstances it would not be her responsibility to not cheat on her partner, but that of the person she's playing around with.

That said, Marco and his girlfriend have both said he has a 'hall pass' to effectively do what he wants while he's on Big Brother. I realise he said it was an open relationship too, but that doesn't dissolve the hall pass that his girlfriend has said still exists. In which case, per the terms of it, he is also entitled to do what he wants and it is the business of no one else to criticise him for it. You can dislike him all you want (and I obviously understand the reasons), but it is his and his girlfriend's relationship and not ours. If she said he was permitted to do this, then that is that. I think some people are allowing their distaste, misunderstanding and personal opposition to having a hall pass (or an open relationship in general) for themselves or their own (hypothetical) partner to cloud their judgement. It doesn't matter whether you couldn't operate your relationship in the same manner (I couldn't either, btw), it still exists and it is up to Marco and his fiancé to determine whether that's acceptable or not and not a bunch of Big Brother fans.

Open your minds. Criticise his behaviour all you like, but slating him because he has a fiancé when said fiancé has said the hall pass does exist is just stupid. Those are the terms of his relationship and it's about time people started to understand them.

It just pisses me off that he's taking all the blame, to be honest.

He said he has an open relationship with his girlfriend. If Laura can't accept this then she needs to stay away from him. Let's see how long it lasts.

He doesn't have any blame to take, but certainly neither does Laura

You don't need to throw Laura under the bus to protect Marco Vanessa, just say it for what it is two adults partaking in consensual activity and the man has a 'hall pass' to allow it that's been ratified by his fiancé

I do think he could be a fantastic housemate if he calmed down, but he needs to stay away from Laura.

He really isn't and in a way he should take more of the blame as he has been very full on with her. I think they are both a pair of sleazy idiots, he's a leech and she's a fool for going along with it because she thinks it makes her sexy. I know you like the pretty boys Vanessa and I like you but he is a complete moron and not that pretty.

[Kazanne]

Imo,Marco and his girlfriend (if there is one) are both happy with him doing what he is doing,so let them get on with it,other than that ,I still don't get the 'hate' for him

I just don't like Laura. Just wait until she finds out she's up for eviction. She will be on Marco bees on honey .

Same, he isn't that bad. I know he's odd, but harmless really.

Laura has said herself she's only after sex, which as a single person, she's more than entitled to. And the reason Marco is getting so much hate is because of the way he is with her and the fact that he is coming across as such an arrogant prick. The fact that his girlfriend has said he isn't in an open relationship at all and he then went on to practically dump her on national television - his FIANCÉ - doesn't really help his cause either
Laura's problem is that she appears to have absolutly no self respect whatsoever.

My mind is open and I am perfectly able to come to my own conclusions about housemates and their actions without someone telling me how to go about it, my opinion is that any 'hall pass' is complete bollocks, it's just pure and utter disrespect for the person you are supposed to be in a relationship with.

Therefore, I think Marco is a little prick for getting with someone else when he has a fiancee and I find Laura's behaviour in the house, on tv with someone she barely knows to be completely embarrassing, not just for her but for her family and friends on the outside, she obvious lacks any kind of discretion, class or respect.

let's see if she stays away if she's up for eviction.

It would be in her best interest to stay away from him if she's up for eviction considering the reason she's hated is because of her "relationship" with marco

She was up for, what she thought was, eviction last week and it didn't seem to stop her

[Livia]

They're both thick.

They should nail them together to make one long plank.

So he can do what he wants to whoever he wants in the house (because he's got a so-called hall pass) as long as it's not Laura (because you don't like her) because you like him.

Sorry but I can't see how that'll work. Because when she's out, what happens if/when he moves onto another woman-will she be ok for him to mess about with?.

Yes, you would think so
