Mark (calm, composed, content): I was very logical. There was three to choose from, then there was two to choose from. The fact of the matter is we're all extremely close to Christopher and only 1 of us is very close to Ash. It wouldn't make sense.
Ashleigh: And I think the public would've looked at you in a different light if you'd voted for Christopher instead of Ash.
Mark: 100 percent.
In terms of behaviour and the content of what he's actually saying, that *totally* jars with his impassioned, didn't-want-to-but-they-forced-me bile he spews so melodramatically in the video in the OP.”
I have loved Mark since the beginning but have slowly gone off him this week after seeing how he has treated Christopher.
This has also left a bad taste
*Marks goes to control room*
*has a lovely chat with Iris about how the control room is incredible & it looks like a space ship and he loves it*
"It's been difficult because everybody on the board is me friend"
He also said "I'm not ecstatic, I'm quite upset, really sadly, unfortunately we have to pick Ash, really the power alliance already wanted to pick Ash, so Ash it is"
None of which I had a problem with, he handed it maturely and knew it was the best decision, all he had to do was explain that to Helen and Ash, but instead we got ...
"I had to fight for him, I was gutted, I had to be the one who had to go and ****ing say in the control room.
Do you know how hard it was for me ****ing saying his name to that ****ing face?
I was sat there ****ing crying, I had to sit in the diary room for a ****ing hour because I couldn't even get me breath because I felt like a ****ing Judas.
It was ****ing horrific"
His explanation is what has made him look spineless, he acted like he was wailing on the floor instead of the calm responses we saw above.
