    By the same token, would he be getting so much love here?

    Oh of course-I just think a lot of the arguments against him aren't justified-the bullying and goading stuff-he can't open his mouth without being accused of either attacking people or playing the victim-then again maybe I'm blinkered to any faults he has?
    Anyone hate him for the same reasons as digital spy people?

    I've not watched the show since Friday and have no intention to return either. It really is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    This is the first BB I've watched since Brian won in 08 I think. With all the forced arguments and scripted crap that is going on, I'll think I'll never watch it again. I'll just keep an eye on this thread to see who is out and who will win. The reason I will do this is bc I've started to watch it. Tbh it was ok and watchable at the start but how it's just a shambles.

    Showing Marc walking round thye garden on his own is another peice of editing in an attempt to show that Marc feels isolated in the House. I expected he was going to start talking to himself, as most other HM's seem to do, when they think the cameras are on them. At least I give him credit for not having done that! It must be a real pain sitting on the sofas surrounded by these idiots, night after night.

    BTW - on a different tack - Nikki must have blown most of her BB fee on her hair and outfit, last night on BBBOTS.

    He is the favourite Housemate on Digital Spy with over 36% of the poll vote. Danny is only half that. Is there another forum that people are referring to?

    I wouldn't be so sure about the anti Marc thing. On digital spy the poll for next eviction has Jack ahead of Marc by 83 votes. It's very divided there much as it is here (although boards is a little bit more pro Marc tbf)

    According to a separate poll on the same forum, Marc is also the favourite HM beating Danny by 91 votes

    He is also the most hated housemate by a long distance on it.

    Yeah I can understand that, he polarises people's opinion, that's what makes him so entertaining. I like him as a HM, but personally don't think he is beyond criticism for his actions, as he says himself he is only human and gets it wrong sometimes.
    I liked him more in the beginning than I do now though. Boards seems to have gone the other way and he can do no wrong here now. I think he can win it if he eases up on the involvement with arguments.

    Why is Jack up for eviction?

    Marc 6 votes
    Sam 6 votes
    Harry 3 or 4
    Jack only got 2...

    Used it be the case that only the top 2 got put up for eviction or more if they were all on the same number of votes. They really seemed to gloss over it all last night on the show and on BOTS.

    Regardless of what you think of him, it seems loaded against him and males it look to the people inside the house that they all got a similar number of votes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Eyepatch


    Were there no Noms for anybody else except these four?

    I was a bit disappointed in Marc for urging Jack to take some alcohol in order to dumb down his feelings re being nominated. Remember Night One - when that innocent boy went for a glass of milk, when the place was flowing with alcohol! The result of Jack's following Marc's advice was the pitiful "display" he made of himself, later on in the Diary room. I hope the whole experience does not have a detrimental effect on Jack's life hereafter.

    It's not that he cannot do any wrong. It's just that when you get to see every side of an argument and see that Mark is one of the few telling the truth, even when being confronted on all sides, it shows exactly the substance of the people involved. The others are trying to destroy Mark or have him destroy himself. He's playing a blinder, they cant get near him.

    Don't know if this is real or a pi$$take - saw this earlier today

    http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/television/irish-woman-attempting-to-get-big-brothers-marc-o-neill-banned-from-america-31337687.html

    I think we should apply her rationale across the board. Trips to America only if proof that you are James Joyce is provided.

    I've only just started snooping on digital spy in the last few days-is anyone a regular follower?
    Jack is the hot favourite to go but he was last week too so I'm interested to know if there was a big gap in the poll to evict last week?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 958 ✭✭✭funtime93


    Don't know how sam has lasted this long tbh and she'll probably last another week aswell

    Or he'll destroy 'the click'. He is determined to break them up. Even Harri seems to be jumping ship. Even if it's only to wind up Nick.

    No offence but most of your posts in here have been about not watching it because you can't and looking for updates.

    I actually believe most of this hasn't been scripted just poorly edited. We very often get the middle of a discussion not knowing the background or build up to it. Also my first BB in 7 or 8 years and but I have enjoyed the majority of it.

    Who's to say! If he (Jack) is led to believe he can self-medicate with alcohol, who's to say where that can lead in the future?

    No you're right I was looking for updates bc I was away in the US for a 17 days. Since I've come back I've caught up tho. And as I stated I watched Fridays show, which WILL be my last. Also I WILL be on here just to see how it all unfolded, well see how the script plays out.

    Like I said at the start it was watchable and actually ok to watch, so much so I watch every night. Since then it's gone to the dogs and it all just forced.

    Why can't they just let it play out, BB used to let all the situations happen in it's own time, now they say jump and every idiot in the house say how high.

    Ps... Who is up for the vote?

    Marc, Sam, Harri & Jack

    don't think we have found out yet if its vote to save or vote to evict (could be wrong on that though!)

    So you're going to come in every day and ask how is it going and re-explain to us every day why you were correct in not watching it?

    Full episodes are on YouTube an hour or two after broadcast. No ads either, that's how I watched it before TV3. The lack of TV ads knocks about 15 minutes off.
