The producers think that Marco is king and they believe the viewers think the same. To them, everything Marco does is good tv, it's generating a buzz on social media (albeit for the wrong reasons!) he's generating publicity for a show that's dying a slow death.

I, along with the the majority of viewers, find Marco really creepy, dirty, annoying, child like, dangerously unpredictable etc. The producers don't see that side of Marco or they do, but because of his dad, his name and the publicity, they'll want to keep him in

I don't mean quite to that extreme, but seriously this is taken as a major issue by television standards boards.

If they think the viewers love him so much, surely they wouldn't care about him being up for eviction because they wouldn't expect anyone to vote against him.

They cannot break the law.

I wouldn't be so sure that Marco's definitely going to go. Historically, viewers tend to vote for a girl to go and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Emma left.

I would imagine that at least some of the backroom team want him gone for being more trouble than he's worth, whilst others will want to keep him in as a ratings/publicity winner. Maybe that's what they were arguing about during the long pauses when he was in the diary room on the live task reveal show, debating whether or not to send him in to the other house.

Genuinely dont know where your getting this from

If Emma doesn't get the boot I may flounce

They might be able to save him by reducing it to two, with Andy and one other being told that they are safe and the lines left open, I'm sure they'd love a Georgina v Marco showdown, Georgina v Emma would be even better but they'd need to completely ignore Marco in tonight's highlights and have some Georgina and Emma footage that paints both in a bad light for that to happen.

Well if they want to keep ratings up they need to get rid of the bores, Macro is not a bore.

This show will be dead if Marco goes tonight.

the show is dead anyway

Not it wont, once domineering Marco has gone they can relax and enjoy themselves.

Marco is a bore, he's ruining the programme for alot of us. I hope he goes asap.

If he does go, they'll bring him back as a guest for a task

They won't risk a backlash bringing him back to win as they won't want another Nikki type s**tstorm

He's only got himself to blame for being on the block and potentially going tonight, the guy is off his rocker and if he doesn't go tonight it's more than likely he will be removed sooner rather than later as he is a loose cannon

Besides can you imagine what him and Laura will do to 'celebrate' IF he stays tonght, doesn't bear thinking about

Did you miss my post?

If BB don't meddle then yes he should go ...the guy is not liked. Tonight's editing will be telling.

Hevis a bore he does the exact same thing day after day.

They could show a repeat of what he did the day before and nobody would notice.

The reason I stopped watching was he was boring me.

I wouldn't be surprised if they reduced it to two on the public vote, then let 'The others' decide who gets evicted, relying on Chelsea to beat down anybody who suggests they go for Marco.

[quote=InMyArms;82781043]They'll do whatever they feel like at the time, anyone remember Winston's eviction from CBB where, without announcing it before lines closed, they decided that the housemates would decide who goes between the bottom two? An absolute joke, and entirely unethical when people are paying 50p a go to vote. IMO that was more scandalous than anything Channel 4 did - including bringing back Nikki. At least when Nikki was voted out she actually got evicted.

If they don't like how it is going they will plan something to get their way.


Was that a vote to evict or a vote to save though - if it was vote to save that may have given them a bit of a loophole.

have the lines opened? If yes he will go if he gets most votes. He is the sort that will walk anyway. He won't make it to the end. Once things start getting serious in there he will throw his toys out and stomp out

I'd like to see it also.

#evictmarco

Then it should be a vote to save! Personally I couldn't care less if he is evicted. And he probably will be on a VTE. No one man makes a show and the others will need to step it up!

I don't think it's about the others not stepping it up, I think it's about the edit. Remember that each person has been through an audition process (I know there's debate about whether they ended up there because they applied or whether they were approached, but the producers will have at least chatted to them in advance, see how they react in groups etc) so they should all have something to them that the producers want on the show. If someone was completely dull, they wouldn't have been put in the House in the first place. But if someone like Marco is being completely off the wall, that takes up a good deal of the episode no matter how interesting any of the others are being. If Marco wasn't there, maybe we'd start seeing some more dynamics.

If the people vote him out, there's nothing they can do. They've told us we're voting to evict, so whoever gets the most votes (please let it be Marco) has to be evicted. They may bring him back at a later date, if they're masochistic enough.

I'd love to see him go, not only is he irritating but he's a character suppressor. I think we'd see the better sides of more housemates if he were to go. It would also send a message to his fan club (Emma, Chelsea, some of the Others) that the public weren't fans.

People are paying to vote to evict a named housemate and the vote cannot be rigged. That's the law of the land.
