Hi Yogi I know he said last week that he wouldn't pick Corin..... but who did he nom this week?

He nommed Dave and JJ2, and they are both up.

Mario said he would not pick Joise they were in lockdown together .I hope he doesnt pick Sam .

I may be imagining this.
But do I sense a stronger inner determination in him?
Do I see that he may now have the strength to withstand intimidation and teasing and hassle from the small clique of 'you-know-who'?  I think I do.
We have reached the point where survival requires it.
It is as if he is all too aware of what he may have to face from certain others, and is quite prepared to tackle it.
(Or do I imagine this?)

Oh no, I'd forgotten he could chose Sam - I hope he doesn't.

I do hope you are right, Brisket.

Oh heck......

Mario is unpopular among many people.
I think they wanted him to put up John James.
But I think that would have been a complete waste of time.
Having John James and Dave up together would have dissipated the anti-clique vote resulting in neither of them leaving. Sadly John James has to take his chances in a week or two.
Meanwhile Mario remains.

I understand the logic of not putting up John James, Brisket. I do wish he hadn't chosen Sam.
I know you don't like Sam - and I can appreciate that you find him annoying.
However, I do like him, he renewed my interest in BB when I was on the point of switching off, so I hope he doesn't go.

Aaww Yogi. I understand 
It might be wishful thinking but on this occasion I'd love to see the back of Dave.

I'm a bit disappointed in Mario

thats the last straw ... i officially resign from the mario fan club

kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but

sorry peeps ... i tried

OK barney.
Thanks and good wishes. 

Hello Marios     our small, but select group.
Mario is playing part of a horse today.

Hi Brisket.
He has paired up with Andrew for the task. Mario is the front and Andrew is the rear of the horse.

Evening Brisket &  Mario's Not seen any LF today, so no idea what is going on, except from what I read on the forum.

Evening Baz 
I only know Mario paired up with Andrew as a horse, but did not win today's section of the task.

Ah well!  

Mario has been laughing a lot tonight - much to the annoyance of Joe-John and Dave.
Joe-John in particular was very angry with Mario - for laughing!  He thought Mario was on a task, but he was angry because he was laughing. Most odd!  

Haven't joined any fan clubs here but I don't have a prob with Mario like so many do. I just see him lately as missing those he felt a connection with, bored, and needing more creative stimulation as others have been given depending on their interest. Haven't seen the jj2/Mario scenario tonight but I find Mrio more ineteresting than jj2

Thanks for your comments YR.
I like your insight. I can appreciate  that the 'lack of something' causes Mario a deal of frustration.
Your views are appreciated and respected.

Morning Brisket.
What is wrong with these miserable HMs this year? We have JJ1 saying that Corin is fake because she is too happy, and now his sidekick JJ2 gets annoyed with Mario because he is laughing.

Hello Yogi   and Marios.
Significant that the trio of John James, Joe-John and Dave were instantly all paranoid about Mario laughing and being called to the DRoom. They were clearly anxious that they were missing something.  BB brings out the worst in some people.

Afternoon Brisket, Yogi, and Mario's  I agree Yogi...This is only my third BB, but quite honestly , if it had been my first I wouldn't have watched another!

I agree, Baz. I didn't watch the first one and I chose not to watch BB8 because of that horrible girl, Charley. I have watched all the others and this is the worst, by far.

I'm of the same mind Yogi and Baz.
I used to watch avidly; now I watch intermittently.

It looks as if Mario is making a dress out of black bin-liners. For Corin I think.

Evening Brisket & Mario's Thank you so much for the lovely birthday wishes

I hope you've had a lovely birthday Baz.
Tonight we find Mario once again trying to pour oil on troubled waters.
But wisely, attempting to offer useful words to both Sam and John James.

I've no problem with Mario and think he's often misjudged. True I wouldn't spend time with some hm's that he's done but don't think he's a bad lad or boring as some say so hope he stays till the end with others that I hope will don't think he'll win though

Morning everyone.I hope you are all well.

   OK thanks Yogi.


Yellow R   Thanks for comments.   Sometimes  support seems thin on the ground.
But I agree with you.  

Eviction day and Mario is not going to be the focus today (unless he does something amazing or stupid of course   )
I dare say, though, that Dave will continue to call him Mole instead of Mario, and he may also continue to remind the house how unfair Mario has been to him.
I notice that Mario is more adept these days at not reacting to Dave's bait. and even using humour to deflate Dave's efforts.
"Steady as she goes Mario." 

Evening Brisket , Yogi & Mario's Just read the spoiler about next week's nominations..... so barring a total disaster, our boy looks like being there for the finals..... fingers crossed

Ooooooooh, where is this spoiler? Why have I not been on here this afternoon?!
*goes off to find the spoiler*

I found it!  Excellent news.

So it all depends on the public vote now.
Are there 4 evictions next Friday?
I find it hard to predict if Mario will survive or not.
I have been massively wrong when predicting evictions so far this series - I mean Dave remaining in the house truly staggers me. He has simply conned his way through the series.
I'd love Mario to survive next week so that he can be there on the final night.

Evening Brisket & Mario's I think all 3 of my favs are going to have an uphill struggle But if JJ and Dave also go, it will be some consolation......

Indeed ir would Baz       That would please me.

I continue to be amazed that they are both in the house. 

Same here Brisket..... especially Dave..... who the heck is supporting him.......
