Marlon drained the rest of the battery and forfeited the luxery budget to not be nominated however nobody, inparticular his 'friends' (i.e. Winston, Ash, Jale and Helen) expressed any concern of the chance he may actually be evicted.

I for one dont blame Marlon for pressing the button. Hes placed low in eviction placings beforehand and has been boo'd by the crowd. There is no 'guaranteed' feeling of being safe even after Ashleigh's poor reaction the week before. His friends should be delighted that hes safe from the eviction and they get to spend another week in the house with him... I am 100% sure Danielle would be jumping up and cheering if Ashleigh had hit that button! Not to mention they all think theyre the one that will go when theyre up - especially Ash the week Toya was!

ALL week the HMs have been draining that battery down for rewards in the form of an 'app' and that is all what Marlon did too. His friends should have wanted him definitely safe for the week over luxery food/booze/cigs... Theyre the selfish ones imo. It wasnt a test by BB, it was an offering of a game move that Marlon seized. Im now glad he did after tonight's show!

[Josy]

They are all selfish really, draining the battery for completely selfish reasons especially Mark and Winston then they have a cheek to have a go at Marlon for pressing the button for something that matters a lot in this show.

His friends should have been happy for him if they were true friends that is IMO, they are definitely not going to starve in there but Marlon has had loud boos before and certainly wasn't as safe as they were making out when having a go at him.

If I was in there and my mate pressed it I would be glad he did and tell the other housemates to F off if they started on him.

So agree, well said. Poor guy had to grovel to them and say sorry.

Bunch of selfish hypocrites.
You can't blame him for draining the battery when they all done the same.

If they all agreed not to push it and he lied then perhaps the apology will cover that.

[MarcusMel]

Just to be clear the Save App DRAINED the battery. It did not matter how much power it had.

[Marsh.]

Mark screaming that Marlon would've been safe anyway made me laugh.

He kicked off the other week when he wasn't saved because they thought he'd be fine to face the vote.

[Kazanne]

They are selfish for not bothering about Marlon possibly being evicted,only bothered about their food.

[reece(:]

If I was in there I'd rather Marlon get evicted over me not having food.

Great post jords,I agree.

He pressed the button and also by doing so also put himself on 'rations' for the next week too.

As you point out, they showed no concern at all for him possibly being evicted in a few days.

I think this furthers Marlon's argument.

If the other HMs had not used apps for their own personal gains and put their luxery budget more at risk each time so say it was at 80%; then this would be a different sort of situation. But they did, over and over so only 15% was left.

[Joelle.]

Yeah they've all got a cheek, they're only having a go because he drained all that was left, but that shouldn't matter. It was one of the only apps worth draining it for imo and I would have done the same in his position. Its the likes of Danielle draining it to see her rat for 20 minutes or whatever that they should be complaining about.

[Achilles]

If I was in that house and I was disliked by the majority of housemates and disliked by the public I would have pressed the button as soon as I got the GO sign. Why would I care what the housemates thought of me or the public? I would not only press it to save myself, but to piss off the others who nominated me and the fans of the other 4 housemates up for eviction. There would be no apology from me. If my "mates" turned on me, then I would turn on them. As a result it would be me vs the house for x amount of days until my eviction. Would be so much fun. "Housemates this week's task ...... if housemates fail to ............ task failed" I would turn the house into an asylum

I read that it has been scientifically demonstrated that the part of the frontal lobe of the brain which affects altruistic ability is not fully developed in humans till the end of their teens (or around 21) therefore Marlon and Ashleigh the two youngest would arguably be the most selfish in the house. (no excuse for the older ones though)

[optimisticcynic]

Rat-dog, eyebrows and spray tan, "do any girls love the Winsmeister" each at approximately 20% - hypocritical mugs!

I am 35 and my moral compass is determined by logic and critical thinking. In one situation I may choose to be altruistic. In another situation I may choose to F with people. I have that choice. In all situations my own mind makes the decisions and no other minds will ever have an influence.

[Mystic Mock]

I think what didn't help Marlon was that he pressed it within 2 seconds, but I would've pressed it if I was in his shoes.

I just wish BB would let him go now though, the Housemates don't like him and he pulls 0.8% of fans on every poll that you look at.

And another thing that shocked me tonight was Mark calling Marlon selfish yet he said earlier on in the episode that he would “give up 100% of the battery to have the beauty products.

If he thinks other might press it, he has to press it within 1 second. He was actually slow off the mark. If you were Marlon, would you trust the 4 housemates stood in that room with you? As Marlon, hated by most of the housemates, nominated by the housemates and booed by the public, why would you NOT press it?
If Ash and Winston were supportive of him, as good "mates" should have been, there would be no issue at all. Marlon got to find out who his real "mates" were in the house and saw the true colours of all the housemates after he pressed that button.

[Mystic Mock]

I said that I would press it, but BB need to stop saving Marlon now, that's two weeks running that he would've gone now and they keep immuning him from the vote.

Oh yeah, I'm going bog-eyed and seeing letters that aren't there
