Default So you want Marco out and Alex goes back

Kick out high entertainment male and bring in least entertainment male.

Vote to evict will kill this series. I just hope at least Ryan can survive it or we're doomed

BOTS last night, that guy doing BB impressions, he was great.... There's a reason he imitated Ryan and Marco and Chelsea and that's cause they are massive or unusual personalities.

Yeah I get what you're saying, I just meant by my post that I don't understand why the OP is using Alex as an example when he isn't nominated. I don't really get itI mean personally between the two I'd evict Alex because Marco doesn't wind me up enough for me to want to keep someone I consider dull in his place, but he's not nominated so I can't evict him.

That's true, Alex is a good comparison of dull over Marcos insanity but he's not relevant in this weeks dilemma....but surely Emma brings very little to the show compared to Marco....we've got to save the show...last year was as boring as f-ck in the finale weeks....Danny Whisker and Christian in the final week....it was tragic

I'm not going to be able to agree with you on that one I'm afraid... Emma's my current favourite

Ah ok I get it. I kind of think though that with the whole convo of dull vs loud housemates, that it's reducing whichever HM that's being talked about to one single thing, and it overlooks all the other reasons someone might like or dislike a housemate. Take Emma for example, in your eyes (and a lot of other peoples) she's dull and doesn't add much, whereas she's my personal favourite. I love watching her so she's anything but dull to me and adds more to my enjoyment than the other HM's. So who gets to decide which housemates are 'dull' and which are 'entertaining'? We all look for and notice different things in HM's, we relate to different aspects of people's personalities, respect different qualities etc, for lots of different reasons. And that's where I get my enjoyment of the show. So sometimes, I'd rather watch someone like Emma having a quiet conversation, but feel engaged and interested in her (even if noone else is lol), than watch someone I don't care about and have no emotional connection to, having an argument or doing something that someone else finds 'dramatic'. That's the problem with these kinds of arguments, it's all completely subjective, so one person saying "you should evict 'X' HM because they're dull" is going to have no influence on the person they're talking to if they don't personally find them dull. People are always going to vote based on personal preference of housemates, and their own personal enjoyment, is that not the way BB should be?

I agree with you about people's favourite being a personal thing...and actually Emma has made me laugh ....her battles with Georgina and her tree hugging with Marco ....she also has a strong opinion and voices it....I actually like all 4 that are up....I'm sorry i implied to you that Emma is dull, she's not...
I don't expect people to evict their favourite house mate for one minute....the problem is when people don't like some or all of the others that are up for eviction either and still choose to evict the one that causes the most trouble, that's not good for the show...this week is not a great example of that because all 4 of them bring something to the house....but if Marco was up against Sam, Alex and Evelyn people would still evict Marco....then, for the same reasons, will pick Ryan, then Natalie and on and on until there are no trouble makers left and the house ends up with no conflicts and no drama.
Fans of Georgina and Laura should think about that....because without Marco Laura will start getting less and less airtime....from day one she's chosen to be defined by her association with one of the guys, evict Marco and she will be evicted very shortly after herself.... Same with Georgina, she's not entirely defined by her dislike of Marco but the friction between them gives her profile loads more airtime then the other girls are getting....it cud change but at this point if two were evicted tonight and they were Marco and Emma then that would impact massively on Georgina's air time....Marco gets reactions from some of the others that are actually beneficial to their popularity.
Disliking someone isn't the reason we should evict them....I intensely dislike Ryan and I ain't exactly Natalie's biggest fan either but I wud be gutted if they were evicted this early in the show because they bring drama and cause trouble...their bad behaviour, and the others reaction to that, creates a platform that brings out the best and worst in the very people that are popular.
Some people think Marco is a grotesque moron and should go....I think Ryan is a grotesque moron and should stay ....it's about what's best for the show not just who we like or dislike as people.

So you goddamm should be

I think it's just different tastes again though. Like you say, you don't mind keeping people in that you don't like if you can see an overall benefit to the show, and you can still enjoy the show with them in it, but for other people that's not the case and the show wouldn't be watchable for them with certain HM's in there, and so to them personally, there is no overall benefit.
I think back to BB7 when Sezer was evicted. He was a massive character that impacted on a lot of HM's airtime in a similar way to how Marco does in the examples in your post. But I was delighted when he was evicted. It made for a great eviction show, it made me enjoy other characters more who'd been previously swallowed up because of his airtime, and I just wouldn't have enjoyed watching the following episodes as much had he been in them. And when I look back on the series as a whole, I remember that as being one of the great moments that makes me appreciate the series more.

Absolutely detest Marco, but at least there's recognition in the house that he's vain and self-obsessed. Alex, on the other hand, is seen as God's gift. The only difference between him and Marco is that Alex is dull, dull, dull ...

It's shocking how dull will be without Marco. What has Jason or Evelyn done? Feck all.

Show will die sans Marco, can't stand him, but I like hate watching him

Why does everyone always use the least entertaining housemates as examples? Yeah they've done nothing, but there are fourteen other housemates.

Just because Marco leaves, doesn't mean we're going to be watching endless scenes of Jason and Evelyn sipping tea.
