This is true however I'm not sure I'd console Ryan because he already was being consoled, plus his breakdown didn't look genuine.
Never mind Marco though. Sam walked right past a crying Ryan and didn't even acknowledge him

I'm sorry but that's just wrong. I cannot let that stand.
Marco is god in Marco's world.

Oh I agree. I don't think it was genuine at all.

I'd like to know what part his fiancee has played in this? Is she really happy with Marco, or trying to get him to see how bad his behaviour has been in regards to other females? Does she really think he'll change once they are married? If their relationship is all that open, why bother to get married! Also feel that Laura is being used, and could be hurt so easily when she's dumped!
I really do not like him, then again I believe he has ended up the way he has because of his parents.

I agree too. He was my initial 'hate' figure but I stopped posting negative stuff about him as it became increasingly obvious he's really damaged. I can't stand him but I do feel sad for him. I wonder if his parents made any effort to stop him going on the show, they must know what he's like.

His fiancee would know too, and I feel sorry for her, poor girl.

Yes, he seems on self destruct mode pushing boundaries to get his kicks and someone will eventually be harmed...there is something I find rather unsettling and a little dark about him.

She's not a girl, she's a 35 yr old woman who knows exactly what she's doing to gain maximum exposure of her fashion label.

She would be better off just teasing him along and staying friends then whe she's out make a play for his dad who's a better catch .

His parents must know that he's out of control . They're quite likely to lose him , sooner rather than later ...

I noticed that tonight, he's extremely touchy feely with everyone in that house. The HMs don't seem to mind, bar Georgina probably.
Sometimes you encounter people like him and you get to know them a bit and see that they're sorta messed up but there's something a bit sweet or nice behind all the bullshit... I don't get that with him. I find him really sickening for whatever reason and have very little interest in seeing beyond what he's shown us. Laura is dumb as a brick as well, but the way he enters rooms and sorta just starts pawing her like she's some sex-doll for his entertainment - regardless of what she might or might not have done to encourage him - is quite repulsive.
I'm actually starting to feel really uncomfortable watching him - he's clearly not well. Big Brother should not have let him into that house to begin with and they should have allowed him to leave when he wanted to. I don't consider myself a drama queen, but I have a really uncomfortable feeling something bad is gonna happen in the next few days, not weeks. He's definitely gonna be ejected for something. His erratic behavior is out of control, his attention span is zero.
I wonder what his relationship with his family is like. I know if I had a family member that acted like he does, I really would try to prevent them from going on Big Brother, of all things. I know he's his own person, but surely, his friends are family are not comfortable with watching him on telly like this.

I believe most of what you said to be fact. Because of this, I can't agree that his heart is in the right place. If Laura doesn't start setting personal space boundaries with him soon, he may embarass her unwittingly. Women have periods, of which many women are embarrassed to talk about with guys they are 'seeing.' Any how he statches her pants like that in order to drag her into him, and sees or exposures something she doesn't want exposed, she's had it. On top of that lots of women don't like to be touched in that area during their period, much less in such an aggressive manner. Marco is a nightmare for anybody with boundary issues, especially women. Feel like he is under the impression that women like confident aggressive guys, but does not have the wisdom yet to know within what boundaries, and is not bothering to learn.
Laura is that typical chick tying to appear like she's riding the wave of female sexual liberation, because it sounds good and she probably would like that to be who she really is. But the truth is that she has low self-worth, and is using cavalier overt female sexuality to wind Marco into her insecure web. But it's already too late because Marco can see through the facade, and knows he can do more or less what he wants with her and she won't own her worth. We have seen it a couple times - her trying to get more out of Marco on an emotional level, and him butting in to say something sexual, not even appearing to have heard her. Not even pretending to listen to her. He is solely focused on using her to sate his egotistical hedonistic needs, and that's where it begins and ends for him. I don't even know if he thinks of her as a person at this point. She has no respect for herself, as shown by how she allows him to treat her, and he is more than happy to oblige that hole in her fence, no pun intended. Laura's just another young girl looking for love in all the wrong places. I'm sure Marco will teach her that soon enough.

I think her desperate plea to be friends afterwards, or even f-buddies, was due to his availability of money rather than her desire for him as a person. I hope I'm wrong, but also hope I'm right because, if it wasn't and she's begging for something more because she's interested or taken with him on a deeper level, then I fear she's in for a dose of cold harsh reality.
Marco just wants a play-thing whilst he's in the house, but the minute he's out of there he'll return to his own kind, one of which she most definitely isn't. By that I mean the indulged, spoilt people who reside in a bubble together and don't have to work for anything, meaning they care for nothing but themselves.
He's a hedonistic child in my opinion, he only cares about the highs in life, which he can't gain without stimulation - sex and drugs.
I think once the house gets seriously into the game, tasks and nominations - because they really haven't faced the serious side of Big Brother yet, earning food money and fighting to remain - he'll become a different person, because I think of all the people there I feel he's the least likely person to take it seriously and doesn't NEED to stay there enough to help the others. I may be wrong but I think he'll change once the game changes.

That's very true.
If I had to share a house with Marco, I think I'd be constantly on edge. He's a loose cannon, and very unpredictable.
