Mark. A little contrived?

Is it just me or does anybody else find Mark a bit contrived? Now don't get me wrong, I do genuinley laugh at some of the things he says. Like when he was nominating Tashie and said that he was worried that if he did anything funny at the same time she was dressed as a Disney character they wouldn't be able to show it for copyright reasons 
But sometimes I can't help but thinking that he's putting on some of the things he says. Like when he was talking about the chicken with no head. Again, funny, but I kept thinking in the back of my mind, he's putting that on. There's just something about some of the stuff he says that make me think that it's not genuine and is a bit of an act.
What do you all think?

Oddly though he doesn't bother me, maybe because he's at least trying to be interesting, unlike others.
Hopefully he won't win. I would rather Alex win. She really is thick but kinda funny at the same time.
I quite like him even though he is definitely playing the class clown very hard. Can't make up my mind about Alex. Can't help thinking she could be a bit nasty if something really hacked her off but will reserve judgement as I haven't really seen enough of her to decide.
I want Harry and Alex to get a spin off show!!! Like the odd couple.
Know what you mean. Looks like she could easily beat someone up if they disagreed with her. Thought she was gonna headbutt Harry the other day when he soaked her.
I think it's Alex's natural tone of voice and facial expressions give an irate impression unintentionally. I have heard Maisie and Tashie comment but so far I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. I don't think it's intentional.
Like when she kept repeatedly saying to Aaron or Harry, "Ya know N-Dubz?". That was one of the funniest moments for me
However i do think he can be genuinely off the cuff funny!
The chicken thing was thought up in response to a question BB had just thrown at him which shows he's very quick witted, I found it really funny!
I also liked the tranquiliser dart thing with Aaron.
I really like him, not only does he make me laugh but he also can dish out good advice where needed (e.g. with rebeckah) I think Aaron would be a bit lost without him as well!
I agree - its like a rehearsed stand up routine. Sometimes its funny I will admit and he doesn't annoy me and he is someone I don't mind watching. However his humour seems a bit "worked out" to me. Whereas I find Aaron and Harry more natural with their humour.
I don't dislike Mark but I feel I am being played.
you see as much as I like Alex I find her a bit contrive as well. No one is that stupid and she seems to have no sense of humour.
Thank you for your thoughtful and interesting contribution. :rolleyes:
I am genuinely baffled by all the outrage that Mark might prepare things like his nominations in advance to make them funny. Are only thoughtless blurtings allowed on BB? If he is willing to take the trouble to think up amusing things to say, more power to him. And he does seem like a very nice person. At the moment I like him best by quite a long way.
Humour is always going to be a matter of taste. Just as I thought Jedward saved CBB I think Mark is saving BB, but I can appreciate that those who don't find them funny might have trouble empathising with this.
The chicken with the head thing was a challenge...he had to say something mildly interesting to get his suitcase back. I think he did better than most of the other housemates would have done under those circumstances.
He also does provide advice when he's needed to and he doesn't just agree with people if he doesn't believe what they're saying is fair.
Mark's definitely one of my favourites.
They all have to nominate 2 people....seems to me that Mark gets on with everyone.
