Marlon......just an ignorant immature boy, but not really malicious?

I really can't stand the whole ladz thing and the hands down the pants and giving it all the sex talk.
I've witnessed this with most of the 'ladz' this series.
However, is Marlon really a bad person? Or just an immature boy with a lot of growing up to do? Is he really a malicious, sly or manipulative game player looking for the main chance who would sell any of his friends over?
I actually think Winston is worse than he is. He put him up for eviction after all when Marlon thought he was his friend in the house....and yet Marlon forgave him and told him it was ok.
Toya totally ripped into him on a personal level in front of the whole house and you could see he was clearly hurt by it, but still trying to gain some front and dignity.
I just think it's a shame that he's going to be the one that everyone is prepared to sacrifice this week ahead of some others that I think are far more ruthless than he is.

I think that was all bluff to gain entry in the house. He's been absolutely nothing like his VT, although in front of his peers, he tries to act like it.
I think he may well be out of his league in the house, but is that a reason for him to go? Do we just want players.....good or bad, without giving the guy a chance?
A good theory IMO. He's way down the pecking order, the ladies just aren't interested and I don't think Helen's lot particularly like him.
In what way are you basing that Helen's lot dislike him?
Wasn't there also that alternative personality he was going to "treat" us with? What the bobbins happened to all that?
He's had plenty of chances. He has done nothing interesting in that house. Like his buddy Ash he is boring.
It's just a feeling I've got, he's like a hanger on that no-one in the group particularly likes. The only one that seems to care about him is Jale.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of his nominations came from someone other than Chris, Christopher, Danielle and Ashleigh.
What about other hms who haven't done much in terms of raising a riot in the house? Chris (DR entries only), Kim (Stephen love interest.....yawn), and even Winston (without the sudden Danielle interest). He doesn't have a marked storyline, that's true, but he's no more boring than any of the ones that need a double up act to make them semi interesting. Or in Chris' case.....a new book to write. He might as well be a fly on the wall otherwise.
Well it wouldn't surprise me if his best mate, Winston, nominated him again to save himself if he's up. That's how much Winston rates himself and cares about his so-called mate in the house.
What we've seen is all we're gonna get.
Agree about Kim, and especially Winston. Can't stand them. Difference is I like Chris.
Yes he seems surplus to requirements. Less than human almost. Let's get him out because he's BB's cannon fodder. But for what? More ruthless people to be saved over him?
So do I, hence my mentioning it in my OP post.
However, BB really seem to like to focus on it a lot, don't you think?
He is 22 NOT 30.
Ash and Winston are bigger **** bucket brothers overall. Winston's lines and are like listening to a 13 year old teen boy who's just discovered he likes boobs, and are cringe inducing at best. For some reason men and stranger still some women still don't mind or even quite like these fine young gentlemen. #LADZ.
Marlon not as bad as these 2, but may well turn out to be the sacrificial lamb as you say.
I admit that I liked Chris' DR witticism. However, I'm now finding him a bit annoying as I usually do with hms I initially like.
I actually don't like any of them that much. However, I can't help myself playing devil's advocate and looking at things from the underdog's POV. And in this case, it seems like the forum is massively swayed to evict Marlon. Everyone deserves a voice and defense, and also deserves to be seen as a human being too in this mad game of BB.
Like I mentioned on another thread, big brother always give favourable edits to their chosen ones, unfortunately it's rarely the black housemates. Some of them could have said a lot worse that wasn't shown. Marlon isn't worse than Winston or Ash for that matter imo.
I think Winston and Ash are far more 'worldly' and 'cunning' than Marlon. They know how to 'play the game' to the advantage that women voters may like. Stephen is another. How that guy has escaped being nominated, beats me.
But yes, it would appear that Marlon, by his own bigging up of himself, and proving that he's actually quite harmless in many ways, doesn't match up to the real ruthless ladz in there.
Exactly as I've just said in my last post to AOTB
I know. It's the bigging up of himself when really he's feeling vulnerable, is what a lot of viewers may take for sheer arrogance. He's really a very immature, but essentially non-malicious boy at heart.
