Shagging on BB didn't do Kim and Steven any favours, did it?
The difference between Marco and Laura (why Laura's dumb)

Men and women are judged by different standards. Marco's behaviour will not harm him at all. Laura's will. She should have seen beyond her horniness and thought about how the opportunity of BB could help her make something of her life. (Admittedly a tough job. How many BB housemates have really used it as a springboard to success?)”

I don't think Laura wants success - she wants money.
She's made a decision based on cold, hard logic - that getting it on with Marco will give her an income stream for a couple of years if she plays it right. Marco is clearly after a media career - and with his father's name and money behind him he's unlikely to fail... so Laura will just ride on his coattails, flogging interviews wherever she can as a result of Macro popping up in the press.
The pairing I'm really interested in is Laura and Andrew - they can both put their emotions to one-side and concentrate on their goal...

Oh I think there's a hell of a lot more to Laura... but I doubt we'll get to see it. She's a survivor that one, and will do whatever it takes.

I agree. He's the one in a relationship not her. Do I like her? No. Do I like him? No. I don't understand why she's getting grief for him being engaged.

Just when I'd managed to get open it out of my mind

Predictably they're divorced now.
But that was different. Her pursued her. She wasn't engaged. And they did what they did under the sheets, not right under the cameras.
No-one was calling Kim a slut.

Why call Laura a slut ?
Because she's acting like one I guess

I think that is a pretty rare point of view annie
I think most people think that women who actively 'go after' men who are already attached are not up to much
Laura and Marco are two of a kind, imo they will do anything for attention/airtime. I don't like either of them.....

Marco's behaviour does not 'excuse' Laura's ... nothing to do with it
He's not chasing after her ... she is making her 'availability' obvious

Marco chased Laura relentlessly until Andy had to say how uncomfortable he felt watching him. Marco with the fiance
.They are just as bad as each other, but I like the way that Laura gets called the hoe, lmao! Typical of this forum....Making her availability 'obvious' doesn't make someone a slut! That sounds like something out of 1916 not 2016!

"Marco chased Laura relentlessly"
I must have missed the episodes where she was trying to get away from him
She's at him all the time, and every conversation is laden with sexual references
... then there's that ridiculous soft porn moaning and groaning
It's not just sluttish, it actually whiffs of desperation

Well I was only going by what Andy was saying, and I'm afraid we don't see everything with the meagre edit.
Laura isn't doing all this by herself so I don't know why you're singling her out. I don't agree with Laura's behaviour but if you're going to diss her then I don't know Marco doesn't get dissed too.
I don't discriminate, the behaviour from both of them is dreadful.

As the OP, that wasn't my point.
Given the world is as it is, it doesn't matter that Marco's behaviour is dreadful: there's really no downside for him. It won't affect his career or his personal life.
But it does matter that Laura's behaviour is dreadful: she will suffer as a result of it. If she were smart she'd realise this. There's really no point in appearing on BB other than to make money. Her cash value is plunging. Marco's isn't.

But you don't know that, you have no idea about what will become of Laura post BB.

It's not the same. Zissman was already a celebrity in her own right, and she was an independently wealthy and successful businesswoman in her own right. She's smart, understands her personal and professional brand, and did no damage to either.
Laura is not remotely in the same category or league.

We've years and years of case-studies to draw upon. Plus a working knowledge of how the world operates.

The big brother edit is working on you, takes two to tango.

Yep case studies that don't involve Laura.

You think she's some kind of special case? Have you ever watched BB before?

I never said she was a special case, I'm just making a fact that you don't know what will happen to her post BB, that is a fact like it or not.
Can't really see any diffrence between them both wanna be z listers.
With the career path she wants this won't hurt her in any way no more than it hurt the TOWIE and Geordie Shore wannabees.
You pretty much have to act that way nowadays to make it as a Z Lister.

Did I miss some video? I saw Laura kiss Marco. Have they had sex? Has she taken her clothes off? Is she trying it on with more than one man?
