So we opened the floor to the Reality Reel.com readers to ask Marcellas a few questions and here is what he had to say!

Fans of Marcellas were offered to ask Marcellas a question, when we would interview him and boy did you guys send in a lot of questions. Here are a few of the ones that were sent in. These are questions from Marcellas Fans and a couple from RealityReel.com!

Note: If you sent in an offensive question, or it contained vulgar language, we did not ask them, you should understand why. Some other questions were not asked if they contained similar content to others or was on a topic that was heavily covered.

From: Jeremiah Yartym
Location: Pennsylvania
Question: Do you think that openly gay figures on reality shows are accurately portraying the population, and do you think that there should be reality shows for just gay people?

Marcellas said:
I think that there are some amazing portrayals of homosexuality on television. Reichen and Chip were though not very nice, very human. James from Boy Meets Boy took a bad situation and handled it with grace and dignity. What we have to remember is that gay people are like everyone else, part of a huge spectrum. Each one is an individual. No, I don’t think there should be “just gay” shows. That is like segregation to me. I don’t like that.


From: Jon
Location: Pennsylvania
Question: As of now, who would you like to see evicted next on Big Brother 4?

Marcellas said:
My choice to win is Jun. I think that if the houseguest were allowed to see the tapes Alison would win. She played a mean-spirited game but a good game. Better than Juns’. Alas, the houseguests are sequestered so they shall see too late. I love Jun winning. She will be the first Asian-American winner of a reality show and that is awesome.


From: Frankie
Location: California
Question: If you'd been hired for the show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", how would you have helped those hopless breeders?

Marcellas said:
I hate the term breeders. It’s derogatory. I use it all the time! I was up for the show but I think my career as a model and my stint on BB3 worked against me. They wanted unknowns and no one who would be a breakout star. I think the guys do a great job. I would make the show higher-end. It reads a bit cheap to me!


From: Ian
Location: BC
Question: Hey Marcellas, what brand of razor do you use to keep that head of yours so shiny smooth all the time, and do you have any special techniques in the chrome-doming process?

Marcellas said:
I use clippers by Wahl to shave my head. No razor has ever touched this dome.


Question: Was there anyone you may have had a crush on in the Big Brother house this current season?

Marcellas said:
Nathan was so easy on the eyes and what a body! I also thought David was really good looking. Justin did nothing for me. Too short…


Question: How was it to come back for a competition in the Big Brother game?

Marcellas said:
It was amazing! It is such an honor to be the only houseguest to be asked back on BB! Going back into that yard bought back such a rush of emotions. It was wonderful and I am so grateful to Alison, Arnold and Jon. The houseguests were so cute!


Question: Do you think you would have been able to win against the current houseguests? Why?

Marcellas said:
Yes, I would have done better against this crop because there was no one there that I liked or trusted. It was my strong feelings for Danielle and Jason that cost me the game last year.


From: John
Location: Florida
Question: Marcellas, I had heard that you had moved to L.A. Are you pursuing an acting career? I enjoyed seeing you (albeit however briefly) in the Food Competition involving Gnomes on BB4. Good luck to you and Boo! I wish you much success and happiness!

Marcellas said:
I live in L.A. and love it. So many doors are opening for me. I will be appearing on an episode of Yes Dear and I have a deal to do my own show w/ Universal. I am blessed! Thank you!


From: Julian
Location: Oregon
Question: Are you dating/committed to someone?

Marcellas said:
I am seeing a couple people and there is one guy, in particular, I really like. We are great friends and that is so important. If something else develops then YIPPIE! I am really just enjoying hanging out w/ my friends. For now…


From: Kristen Powers
Location: California
Question: Obviously, you were the best-dressed houseguest since and after Will Kirby of Big Brother 2. So, tell me, who is your biggest fashion inspiration? Thanks!

Marcellas said:
I learned style from my grandmother! She was so well dressed and had so much class. She wore the best clothes w/ a casual, easy chic, never fussy or contrived. And she wore fur! Which I love!


From: Ian
Location: BC
Question: My favorite MM (Marcellas Moment) was when Boo managed to survive that perilous drop from high up during that horrific challenge where gnomes broke left and right. I guess what I want to know is what your relationship with Boo is today?

Marcellas said:
Boo and I are friendly rivals. We are up for many of the same parts and I seem to constantly lose out to him! He also seems to think I’m an idiot for trusting Danielle. He never liked her. She scared him.


From: Dagmar Merrill
Location: New Jersey
Question: How have you enjoyed being famous?

Marcellas said:
I don’t consider myself famous. I’m more like the most popular kid in school. Everyone sorta knows me or I look kinda familiar. Fame has given me a platform from which to speak and I have been working w/ several charities and I love that! My faves are Animal Avengers (Shannon Elizabeth’s charity), Aids Walk L.A., Chattanoogacares and Reality4Diabetes.


Question: Who were you most surprised recognized you and whom famous have you met?

Marcellas said:
I went to a taping of Will and Grace and met Debra Messing! She is an angel! She almost cried when she saw me. She said I was “delicious” and I “walked on water”! From her I can accept that! I also met Kate Hudson. We went to the MTV Movie Awards together. She is sublime, kind and beautiful. Shannon Elizabeth and her husband are friends of mine now and they are too kind.


From: Stephen White
Location: Oklahoma
Question: How did it feel, being watched and monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week?

Marcellas said:
First it was strange for me to be taped all the time. The weight and responsibility of being African-American and homosexual was so much! I felt a huge responsibility to be a good role model and portray a positive image. I think that that struggle is why I was 1st nominated. I was carrying a heavy burden. After a while I really got into it and started to really monk for the cameras. I really began to feel like I was the star and invincible. I was proven wrong!


From: Robin
Location: Tennessee
Question: Do you stay in contact with AMY?

Marcellas said:
I talk to Amy constantly. I just saw her recently @ a charity event in Chattanooga, TN. We did a charity called Chattanoogacares. It was awesome. Amy is exactly the same as she was in the house.


From: Kate Jackson
Question: What did you think of Reichen & Chip on the Amazing Race 4??? (If you watched it)

Marcellas said:
I did not follow Amazing Race this season. I watched the last season because Drew And Derek Riker and I are friends. I love that Chip and Reichen won. I loved Reichen’s speech. It’s a shame they aren’t together anymore.


From: Robbie
Location: Utah
Question: Marcellas what was it like when you first left the Big Brother house? Was it hard adjusting back to real life?

Marcellas said:
It was so hard to readjust. I was not ready to leave the house so I really hadn’t thought about the outside. I was devastated by Danielle’s betrayal so I all did for the first night was cry. I missed my sisters and since the producers told them I was using the Golden Veto they did not come. I was completely alone. Once I was back on the street it was just surreal. I was an instant celebrity. People would scream and cry when they saw me, which made me cry. The 1st 2 weeks were like being a Beatle. I had to leave places because it just got to be too much.


From: Danielle
Location: OH
Question: My question is, have you started a collection of Gnomes?

Marcellas said:
No! But I do have an amazing rubber duck that travels w/ me wherever I go. He’s black and he has a peace sign tattooed on him! He rocks!


Any final comments?
I wanna thank everyone who has ever watched an episode of Big Brother! I also wanna thank the people who have sent me letters and pictures, and cards and notes just saying hello! It means so much more to me than you could ever imagine!


Thanks so much Marcellas for taking you time to answer these questions from Reality Reel.com viewers!!! We all look forward to seeing you somewhere and sometime soon…
