So Marc's on TV3 shortly and I'll do a semi type-along for his fans


"I went in there literally not planning on getting past 2 weeks. I wanted to let these people know what its like to have a bit of fun and they didn't like it. that's their problem. Maybe they all hate me. I would have hated me!"

*clips shown@

My best task that we had to do. I was told I was going to be a brother of a fraternity. I got them to carry me to the toilet. I even tried to get Jack to wipe my arse but apparently you're not allowed to do that - it's against human rights.
I had a great time. It was the best time of my life. I'm very evil when I get power. But it was Big Brother's voice every two minutes saying 'Marc, come to the Diary Room'.

asked about Tallafornia and why he would do more RTV:
In a way, Talafornia - cringe - I couldn't watch a whole episode myself without cringing. I wanted people to not remember me off Tallafornia. I wanted to be known as Marc, with a c, k, q. I'm now a chemistry scientist. I'm going to America 28th september, job organised and grad visa - all sorted. I wondered what to do for the Summer to have a bit of fun.

Talked about his flak for not being a good ambassador for Ireland -
I was a windup merchant to entertain. All them were in there giving the best man speech every two seconds. It was like Miss World 'I want to save the world and all the children'

Re Brian:
Every time I called him out for lying he couldn't remember. I splashed him with water and they all got offended. That's why he went over a wall? Are you mad? I told them all come over to Ireland for a week!

re fans and leaving - is he upset that he left:
Yes and no. I was delighted to get out of there cos it's like going to a rave on your own. I ran out of steam. You can only party with yourself for so long. If they asked me to go back in I'd say no; mind you if they offered me 150 grand I'd say yes. I never ever thought I was going to win it. I wanted to get to the final. i think Joel will win because it's all the grannies who ring up, the'll say 'Ah Joel's so lovely he doesn't swear, not like that other fella' - I just wanted to have fun. I found it too hard to keep being me because you had no-one to bounce off of. I don't want to be famous, I don't want to be a z lister trying to get into clubs for free. I wanted a blow out after college before it's time to become a grown up.

He's managed to get that far through the interview without swearing once, by the way! The presenters just said they owe him a tenner for not swearing!

Thanks for that, seems he's saying exactly the same there as he did the night he came out. I still think it's a shame he went too early.

He said that what he wants to do is make a difference by helping to improve the drugs used in chemotherapy - gave a little bit more info but didn't quite catch it. He said the money's OK too - but a lot of people working in science and pharmaceuticals are corrupted by the money.

According to the man himself - MarC is serious, nice scientist mark. MarK is funny mark and MarQ is drunk, nasty mark.

Did he really get flak over not being a 'good ambassador' for Ireland?

Surely only the dimmest of the dim and the most insecure of the insecure and the most po-faced of the po-faced would see him as representing anything other than his reckless and irreverant self?

Cheers for the transcript, Patsy.

He went on to say that he has a bucket list of things to do before he leaves Ireland for good - top of the list is a visit to Craggy Island, which would be an ecumenical matter - as he's a massive Fr. Ted Fan.

When he leaves Ireland he doesn't plan on coming back because in Ireland if you have no money and you look out; you see the rain. If you're broke in LA at least you can live on the beach.

His job in the US is lab work producing anti-diabetic drugs. There will be no more stripping 'I"m going to finally have to hang up the g-string'.

Two reasons for doing BB; 'redeemed me from cringe tallafornia' and 'something to knock off the bucket list'. Imagine saying to your kids - I was on BB? Really good story to tell your kids.

Ah, it's all very tongue in cheek Marc's much more in his comfort zone here; they're royally taking the pish out of him and he's loving it. Footballer Kevin Kilbane is on and was asked what he'd do if he wasn't a footballer. He said 'I could be a scientist *points at Marc* it obviously doesn't take much!'

Ah right, I didn't register the TV3 earlier and that it was in Ireland.

Love the ^above!

Such a shame he went. It was so much more fun watching the HM's turn on him (and him on them) than seeing the remaining ones turn on each other.
He did infuriate me at times (like most people I suspect) but I did like him for the most part. He was an excellent HM.

Ah so that explains his ire with that woman who was peddling naturopathy for cancer then.

Same here, but the one redeeming feature about him going when he did I suppose, is that all those viewers that couldn't see the wood for the trees in that house are finally having to see it without having him to blame for it

Thanks Patsy. Marc always seems the same . No put on airs and graces, always up for a laugh , even at his own expense. I wish him all the best for the future. He made my summer

And mine.

I love our irish humour. Lol at Kevin kilbane

At least he admits he's evil.

People in isis are evil

Thanks Patsy As much as I thoroughly enjoyed that it made me sad that we've lost him from the House

I remember that fraternity task Marc always had an ability to get the others to do stuff like carrying him around in that task
