Neither can Mark.

he was team captain

Christopher has never been in a relationship before so is like a young guy with his first crush but he's such a sweetheart and gorgeous (in spite of Auntie Helen's hatchet job on his hair), hopefully he'll ditch Mark and then meet someone not in the media who's a nice guy and looks like Liam McGough.

You stretched the thread I didn't even know that was possible

Oooh! I stretched it again lmao

Mark's never been sincere about Christopher.

He drunkenly kissed him when he was feeling lonely one night and then dropped him like a hot brick.

The day the new HMs chose Christopher for their task, Mark realised Christopher is seen as a genuine person on the outside and Mark made a diary room speech about how he had treated him badly.

Mark then made more of an effort with him, but like all acts it had to come to an end as his true feelings leaked out.

I don't think Christopher is deluded about him or infatuated either, he tends to excuse most people's bad behaviour in there as he always tries to see the good in people.

I loved Mark before but he has shown a really nasty side to himself this week.

Poor Christopher, he's such a trusting soul and I can't bear watching him being taken in by Mark. I would be so happy for Christopher to win, he deserves it more than all the others in my eyes.

Phase one complete <3

Mark treats him like a piece of sh*t sometimes, Christopher should just tell him to f*ck off next time he's drunk and wanting a kiss.

He's an idiot. Mark doesn't treat Christopher like a proper friend.

I hate Mark

I hope Christopher realises what a horrible / fake person Mark is.

was Ashleigh correct, did they even give Christopher a thought for the party?

Not in the clip shown during the highlights show, mark argued a lot for Ashleigh to join them but Christopher wasn't mentioned, it could have been down yo editing but as clearly they wanted to show that Christopher was infatuated with a disinterested Mark then it would have been bad of them not to show it if it happened. I think Ashleigh was just being kind

How long do we think Mark will be able to keep his trap shut about which HM/s have the power? He's not exactly reliable, is he?

Mark only latched onto Christopher after he realised how popular he was outside the house, I think he even said as much at the time.. I'm amazed that people can't see how fake Mark is, he's constantly acting for the camera..

Nor can mark

Not usually, but with immunity on the line I think we'll find that he'll keep his trap true & firmly shut. He's not as daft as he comes across & I'd say if there are any leaks they won't come from him..

I think I agree with this. He has possibly misinterpreted, which isn't necessarily his fault when the other person won't actually use real words and talks in code.

I think Mark was saying we'll see when we get out how we feel if it's meant to be whereas Christopher I think assumed, we will give it a go on the outside.

Regardless of what Mark said I don't think he likes Christopher enough and for such a savvy gameplayer he'd know how it would look so I can only assume he's promoted Zoe to Bessie (what with all her outside knowledge and cheers)

I really like Christopher, but I wish he'd wise-up about Mark.

It was horrible seeing Christopher not picked for the band, not picked for the party, not one that Helen would think of giving her pass to, all to his face as if he has no feelings... ignorant f@ckers.

I think Christopher's got to be careful, not only about his own feelings but about how he handles the situation with Mark. If he has a go at Mark he will alienate the house but if he is seen as too deferential to Mark in the eyes of viewers then it will backfire on him.

I think the best thing would be for him to continue to be friendly to Mark but to ease back in terms of any special feelings towards him and cultivate other friendships in the house, and moreover to remember that his best friend in there is actually himself.

He's one of my picks to win and I think if he can walk this particular tightrope it will really help his cause.

Yep, I totally agree, but he's come across as very resilient, emotionally, so far, although he obviously does feel hurt at times, so I'm hoping he'll be fine.

He's a great h/m.

If Christopher wins the £100k.... oops... I meant Big Brother, Mark will be in the picture (either pletonically or romantically). If he doesn't he will never see or hear from Mark again.

I would love to see her face if she lost her sidekick/bed partner, she would go loopy.
As for Mark I can't believe that there are still people who can't see through him...he is a total smarmy creep.

They're so horrible to him aren't they.

Did anyone else notice his head bob during the task? He was dancing then looked like he'd dropped off to sleep.

Christopher to win.

Mark is vile and getting more loathesome every day. Another narcissist. He was OUTRAGED that during a hypothetical conversation Helen didn't instantly say she'd give him her pass to the final. He absolutely reeks of desperation.
