intriguing 

I don't know how much of what we think we know about Mario is really true. Some sources say he's a trainee fashion designer, others that he's an actor and model. He claimed his ex bought him the BB7 chair, but in another source he said he bought it himself.

He handled the mole task very adeptly and there's definitely more to him than just being Ben's cheerleader and casual stroker of any male HM who'll let him. What, I don't know. But there is.

Mario says we are not seeing what's right in front of us.

'Cleans glasses'

Is 'Mario Mugan' his real name or an anagram?

*borrows cloth from Menty and cleans own*
*tries to do anagram...fails*

Nope...if it's in front of me I can't see it yet

*moons*   

I saw that 

Mario is Keeva's sister, they were put in there to try and start a Gay relationship,!!!!!!...

Never been good at Countdown 

I can only get 'I'm a Mug' with letters left over.
I can't put my finger on it, but there's something strangely familiar and yet, at the same time, a bit unsettling about Mario.

Keeva's surname is Guilfoyle,so I searched for Mario Guilfoyle and got this.

If it's in plain sight it's got to be obvious that Mario is Ben's boyfriend.

Real life brother and sister?  They do look alike? Look at the ears and the nose.

That sounds plausible 

All I can get is Gourami man..........and a gourami is a fish

HE'S THE MAN FROM ATLANTIS !!!!!!!!

Good one!!!.......

It's struck me before that Ben seems far too comfortable with all the touchy feely stuff from Mario considering he's supposedly not gay.

His spectacles have only got one arm.......    

TRUE!!

Regarding the DR chair.More conflicting evidence.

More info from other site
i dont think mario mugan is even his real name, mugan is another derivative of the mugen family, which are linked to the super mario bros video game.

Lets not forget the Irish twang to his accent....

He's not short of cash then but obviously a big BB fan. I'm sticking with my Benario theory.

Until you mentioned it I never twigged and now it's so obvious  Why is no one coming forward who knows this guy, it's really weird.

Ben was also really evasive on where he lived

Shall we vote him out?....Just to find out....

No.

But he said someone bought it for him.

was his real name Marion? 

lol how disappointed will we all be if he gets evicted and his big secret is 'guess what guys I bought the diary room chair from CBB5'.

ps AFAIK the 'secret is a wind up based on the Secret rumour that went around before BB started

Marion  ran with it and pretended it was him..   I could be proved wrong.. . am just going on what led up to him saying to the others that it was him  ie Govan getting overexcited at the Secret rumour when they talked about it the other night.. 

Is he Jackie stallones grandson?......

 @ this thread

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I can't help feeling this is correct.

Something-else that's been at the back of my mind ever since this story began is Cameron's "secret" in BB4.
Remember that? There was a huge amount of discussion over what his secret was, but it turned out to be totally trivial and banal.

I know what you mean & yet I don't...he is strangely familiar. Could he have been one of the BB voices?

Mario means...... It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "manly". From Marius. Also used as masculine form of Mary (Latin) "star of the sea" and variant of Mark......

Well I'm still happily in the dark
