Sure as some people say on here he is only having the banter and is a proper lad.....! (sigh)!
The man is a sociopath, he can't take criticism at all. Joel made a fool of him a few times and he has it in for him, nominating him and insulting him every chance he can get, Chloe took him on and he hates her, Jade (initially) made her feelings known to him and he literally threatened and intimidated her (now she fears his control and is brownnosing him), Harry gives it back to him and he is like a raging bull (I genuinely fear something serious could happen between them, much like the Victor incident. He isn't all insults, you can see he is holding himself physically back), Sam is just a desperate subservient to his every need, Jack made his feelings known somewhat yeaterday yet Marc again couldn't take it so Jack backed back a bit, Danny has evolved from the one who confronted him over his behaviour on Day one (which was miniscule compared to what he has gone on to do) to almost his chief apologist. christian just takes whatever he does but you can see he is uncomfortable and that is why Mark "likes" him. You can see they are all scared in their own way of him, what he will say, do.

the real Mark is starting to be exposed now that people are starting to approach him somewhat. He knows what he does is wrong, but he doesn't want people to tell him, especially women or people he knows he can't break down as easily as he would like.

But sure...................its only a bit of lad humour!!

Completely disagree with most of this UCM, I don't think he dislikes Joel, I think his nomination of Joel was rather tongue in cheek, saying Joel got that better of him and he can't have that, Joel took it that way too, so imo you are going over the top there in that synopsis.

Danny has said though he doesn't like some of his comments he's a funny bastard, same with Joel and Jack and Jade find him amusing as well. I can understand he's an OTT character which BB needs. If we were to have it your way, we would be watching the HM's in bed and then being nice to each other and then lying out in the garden rinse and repeat add nauseum.

I was just about to switch off when I read about the 4 in 4 out so I decided to see what it was about, now I can't miss an episode I'm riveted, what will Big Marc do next................ It's telly mate, don't get too carried away with the characters, you don't have to live with them....;)

Jack's arrogance has no limits

Jack about Nick - "I'm sure he can be a finalist because he's one of my mates"

I know seriously, is he delusional. He's going to get a right kick in the ass on Friday, I'm nearly positive he's going to hear some "Get Jack out" chants, that's if he can hear them over the "Get Harri Out" chants :D

Yes, we are all sociopath misogynistic steroid driven attention seeking maniacs........

Honestly the debate about being a bad or good person is irrelevant. He's entertaining, I've no problem with people saying they dislike the guy, I doubt me and him would get on but I appreciate the comedic value he brings.

Also as for him being a soldier, it's pretty irrelevant too. I think he would protect his friends, he's openly said he doesn't consider any of them as friends in the long term so why should he treat them as friends or allies. He has also admitted doing things cause it's boring. I don't blame him for that!

I think therein lies the difference between why people are divided seemingly on his presence. I know a lot of people seem to think his personality is funny, we all have a different sense of humour but I reckon there is a larger quantity that "like him" solely for what he brings to the house: the entertainment and shock element.
He does come out with some funny stuff but it is very rare he doesn't overstep the mark (excuse the pun!)

I think it is very relevant to analyse what you think about the person, from what you see, when watching BB. It isn't acting, this is real people putting themselves out there for scrutiny or acclaim. Obviously I don't know the guy, I am only remarking on his antics in the house. he could still be completely different outside the house. Yes you can't help but watch it when its on but just because he is making it watchable or "entertaining" doesn't mean you have to like the guy (from what we are seeing of him). I do respect that people have alternative opinions on what qualifies as humour, its the way it is but I am only giving my personal opinion on his behaviour. Some of the stuff he has done would have got someone else kicked out easily. In a way, yes, you are glad he is left in but that doesn't excuse his behaviour.

Anyway its a discussion thread so no harm discussing opinions on him.
I like behavioural discussion and sure he is giving us plenty of ammunition to keep the thread lively!

I think Marc probably is a bit of a bully, a misogynist and mental. I do find him to be too aggressive in his approach. Some of the names he called Harry were over the top insulting, 'cretin' and other vicious things to really hurt her. When Helen used the word 'slug' to describe Jale last year, everyone was outraged however she still one the show. Perhaps now we have become immune to people speaking like that to one another. I know people like marc, men and women, and sometimes its easier to just to slightly adapt to them to keep the peace (without loosing your values of course) but it can be annoying. I do see some likeable qualities to marc and I do think the show would be lost without him though. He is just so funny and some of the things he says really do make you laugh. I think we have just come to expect drama from Big Brother though.

I find the relationship between him and Sam very interesting. I do believe there is a genuine attraction there. Its like they compliment one another. They seem to be complete opposites and exaggerations of masculine and feminine. I don't think it will last at all but its interesting to see them together.

I actually dont see the point of the secret room if Mark goes in. The only thing that could happen is that the remaining housemates may build up some sort of unity again and when he arrives back his antics, which will no doubt probably be on another level again, could lead to lots of confrontation and a united front against him. I think the reason was to make sure he was in for another week regardless. At the time they may have feared he might have been voted out straight away and that would have been a bad thing for viewership. In an enclosed environment with only a few people, unless they are complete head the balls like Nikki, Perez, Marco, Kitten, Mccirrick, Michelle or spiral. I would actually say such an environment may cause him to quit if it becomes too much!

I don't think we will ever get this sort of result from a "secret room" scenario again..................
