being a production fav?

Would anything?

If they said Marc had a pass to the finale night, from no contest or anything, would that convince you?

Of course he's a production fav. He's both the most entertaining and the most controversial housemate in there - and there was practically no conflict before he entered - and since BB wants to ensure high viewer numbers, they're going to want him in for as long as possible. You're not exactly dropping any bombshells here.

It boils down to most people who like him will say nah he's not favored by the production team.

An most people who don't like him will say yeah he is favored.
Often is the way.

Me though when it come to this stuff. It is what it is. A tv show.

If he's really that entertaining he wouldn't need 'fixes' to keep him in. It is unfair and bloody frustrating.

Oh, I'm not meaning to. I think everyone pretty much knows that production is unfairly keeping him in! I just wonder, for the people who somehow think he has earned this in the game itself - what would it take to convince them otherwise?

Has anybody claimed he isn't the producers favourite? They sent him in there to liven up the show and he's been doing it like a pro since his first week. Of course he's the producers favourite!

He's not the most entertaining for me.

BB know Marc would be out if it was normal noms - they're unashamedly saving him, they don't give a shit about fairness.

Yes he is a production favourite.. for obvious reasons. Thank god he is there, and long may it continue until this dreadful series is finally over.

Yah! I mean. to be clear, for anyone harbouring under the delusion that he has so-called earned his place, would anything convince them otherwise? Anything?

And BB has never claimed to be a fair show. Helen's straight to the final pass showed that very clearly last year.

People quite often see patterns where they don't exist. It's called "patternicity". And yeah, I'm being for real here.

Nor what the viewers want. It's VTE - if he was voted out - the majority would have spoken.

He hasn't made this series for me - he's ruined it. I find it hard to watch his ugly face contorted with rage when he doesn't get his own way. He's not fun, he's a nasty individual.

Hes a plonker

Same here.

I don't find him in any way entertaining.

And without the constant immunity, he would be gone.

Yes there's a pattern - four consecutive weeks without the opportunity to evict him. It's a pattern but it's no accidental - it's contrived. Who else has had that privilege?

Do you think I'm doing that? That's ok, I can take that. Do you not think Marc is being saved in an unfair way?

Maybe I'm wrong and I'm prepared to admit that. But it really, really, looks like Marc got four weeks of immunity, and that kind of sucks.

The show would be significantly more dull without Marc in the house - the producers know this and will want to keep him in at all costs.

Marc staying in over the likes of deadwood like Jack, Chloe, Cristian, Danny is far more appealing to me than him leaving.

Yes! I mean, I don't feel as though I'm fabricating a pattern out of nothing. There is very clearly some favoritism here. It's clearly artificially inflated, isn't it?

Am I crazy or is this actually pretty clearly showing production favouritism? Fair play to them if so - they have to put an entertaining show. - but it's pretty farking blatant.

I'm actually surprised he hasn't been more vocal about wanting to be eligible for eviction this week. I thought he seemed like the type of person who'd want to be on equal footing with the other HMs, be judged, open to criticism and make a nomination choice off his own bat like the others. I thought he'd be embarrassed about still having legend status privileges and want to muck in with the team as he's gone on about before.
I thought he'd be in to the fairness of it now that the bunker has done the main part of their gig.

However they save him from noms, come finals night, they can't make him win.

Well, I can understand how it might be viewed as unfair. But what I meant is that it may not be some giant conspiracy to crown him as the winner. I think it's more a case of the production team making it up as they go along.

Then again is the Clique's bloc voting fair? Maybe this is the counter balance?

Either way, yes, I can understand your frustration.

We all like and dislike different housemates.

I would be fine with Marc staying over those you consider deadwood _ IF it was a level playing field. If Marc is so entertaining he should be able to hold his own and stay in the house against them anyway.

The fact that they are protecting him stinks.

If he wins, it will be as tainted as last year.

That's my biggest gripe with the whole thing. Marc did inject some fun when he first came in but he's miserable now even with all the string pulling.
I thought he'd relish the chance to be on a level playing field again and test his popularity.

Swings and roundabouts may be. But realistically the block voting issue. That subject always makes me laugh in a wtf way.

It's a game and who's fault is it if a few people share a common dislike of some one. Or are even doing it as part of a 'game'. Which ever way it is it's just life not every one will get on. And even more so they all are trying to play the game and win 150K.
