I love Mario too. Glad he's now a proper housemate! 
The Mario Appreciation Thread
3 of 219
Since criticism of his underwear by myself and other lovers of the Molio, he demonstrated this evening that he didn,t need any to cut a dash SWOON
I didn't want to come on here yesterday going 'Woo he's saved' incase people had wanted to see it for themselves in the highlight's show. 
He's still my favourite, even since the mole task finished. He was sitting in the bedroom smiling like I've never seen him do before, he seems to be really happy to be there now.

I would have been absolutely gutted if Mario had been evicted, he's proving to be a really good, entertaining hm so far. I'm really pleased that he has achieved full hm status, he certainly earned it imo

Popular hms are always targets for trolls, simply because they know that dissing them will get plenty of responses lol.
Will be interesting to see who is nominated this week - thankfully, it's looking highly unlikely that Mario will be as he seems to be well-liked in the house despite having to trash parts of it for that task

I agree,just been in the main forum to question some posts which are just hearsay.
and unfounded.
Mario reminds of Jeremy Metcalfe BBCH (who I am a big fan of),there was such troll in his threads the worst even questioning whether he was a racing driver at all, he even looks a bit like him.
Another Mario fan still here. Just haven't been able to watch the show for a couple of days so I'm a little out of the loop atm!
Brilliant to see he's now a proper housemate though.

Where was his streaking in the highlights? 
Very disappointed, it's just the type of tongue-in-cheek fun I like. Yet BB denies us of catching a glimpse of his little mole. Meanies.

Same here
Glad he's not up for eviction this week, but then he wasn't likely to be as he seems to get on with everybody. he's coming across as really open and friendly and up for a laugh - long may that continue.
Just to add - Racheal was talking about groups forming but I don't really think Mario is confining himself to just one group do you?
Alothough he obviously has those he feels closer to, like Ben and Josie for instance, he doesn't just hang out with them, but makes the effort to be friendly with everyone which will hopefully serve him well in the coming weeks as the inevitable cliques do become more pronounced.
Also liking the hair - very cute.

Agree.Think he makes an effort to speak to everyone.I cant work out whether Ben knows he is getting closer to him.
I think they don t show when Ben goes to Mario [when Ben got in bed with Mario the other night ] Of course Ben knows but I think they are just friends messing about.

Ben clearly enjoys Mario's company without a doubt.
I also can't work out exactly what Ben feels for Mario though - will be interesting to watch lol.
I'm concerned that Ben is going to lead Mario on just for the sake of keeping someone totally into him around. Ben seems to be getting more paranoid and I hope he doesn't drag Mario down with him.
As far as this eviction goes, basically if you want Mario to be in as long as possible then don't vote out Sunshine.
Even though everyone likes him in the house he seems to be in the group with fewer numbers, and Sunshine is one of his closest friends.
Evicting Rachael I'm not sure is going to make much of an impression on the house dynamics, but Shabby going is going to upset the bigger clique in the house. Caoimhe is one of Mario's friends and their bond will become stronger without Shabby. So overall, I hope it's bye bye Shabby.

Will definitely be voting out Shabby because that will hopefully weaken the clique that is forming, the so-called "cool" gang (who are anything but lol).
As for Ben leading Mario on - I really don't know at the moment. Their friendship is interesting to say the least lol.
I was glad that Mario didn't act like a sheep and nominate Sunshine. Yes, she can get annoying when she wants her own way, but Mario can see past that and probably appreciates someone who isn't just into having banal convos.

What do you all think about Dave's comments re same-sex relationships/marriage.
I thought Mario took his remarks very well because it must have been a bit hurtful, although Dave did try to get across that he personally doesn't dislike a person because of their sexuality. On the contrary, he seems to genuinely like Mario.
It's one of the reasons I tend to steer clear of religions - I prefer to rate a person on whether I like their personality and couldn't care less about their sexuality.

As Mario said he doesn t believe in marriage so it didn t affect him. Which to me shows he doesn t think he has to speak for other gay men, just himself.

Mario is tiring of Ben's agonising IMO. He now realises that Ben is high maintenance. Spends time with all the other housemates and seems accepted by them all.

Thinking about this, I have to say you could well be proved right.
I love that Mario didn't receive a single nomination, despite all his sabotage efforts as the mole. It would have been very easy to take the easy route and fling a nom his way for that. Says a lot for how universally well-liked he is in there.
If he doesn't tie himself into one particular group, he could end up being a key comnponent as the show progresses. A floating voter if you like.
He's already shown that he isn't necessarily one for jumping on a bandwagon and being unduly influenced by the more dominating characters in there and I like that. I hope he stays as his own man even if being an individual can make you vulnerable in the long run.
I think the group of Mario, Dave, Sunshine and Ben, well maybe not Ben , have realized that unnecessary drama is pointless and they seem to just be happy avoiding it and appreciating their experience. Good for them.

Ben is just insecure,he is trying to contain Shabby.Shabby might be evicted this week.Atm it is only Mario that hasnt been in a clash out those,but he is very calm.When he told Sunshine off about accusing him of being a mole,he still did it calmly but with authority.I just hope he maintains that,it will make him stand out.
