Marcus refuses to part with his ponytail – not even for £14,000!

We're not sure if this is the right reaction to have, but after hearing about the latest Big Brother shenanigans, our opinion of Marcus has actually improved. As you know, BB have been offering housemates the opportunity to complete special individual tasks to win back the prize fund of £100,000. Siavash, bless him, agreed to hand over the entire contents of his suitcase – apart from toiletries – and now has to wear a collar, cuffs, a unitard and high heels until he leaves the BB house. Harsh, yes – but he did bag £10K towards the prize fund. Marcus, however, was asked to hand over something even more important to him – his own ponytail. As you can imagine, BB didn't get very far in their bartering, and Marcus wasted no time in telling them to "f*** off" and "go f*** themselves". Charming. However, you have to admire his refusal to be bribed into chopping off his locks. We might all cringe at the mere thought of it, but that ponytail obviously means a lot to him. Do you approve of Marcus' attitude, or do you think he should've lopped that greasy mop off?
