I think his conduct only reflects how he was treated over the course of the show. Things that were done by Marcel were treated like "OMG END OF THE WORLD RUDENESS" but if Sam had said it, no big deal.

I also blame editing a LOT for us not really knowing what really went on. 2 things from the judges blogs were that on the night of the whole Cliff grabbing Marcel thing that Elia had not yet shaved her head. There's a clear shot of her laughing on the floor with her hair intact while Marcel walks by. Also, Marcel didn't tell anyone about the incident, or the fact that he slept in the bathroom all night. Production/judges didn't find out until much later and not from him.

There's nothing he's done that's deserved the level of shit they've thrown his way. Neither of their dishes thrill me on a regular basis but this show hasn't been about food for a while now.
When they run the marathon, I'll count the foam dishes. Even if it's just five, that's still too much. Be original for god's sake. My favourite comment was that it looked like cat spit.
Marcel is a smarmy little shit and he has very little respect for others working in the kitchen. Even if he wins, the show will ruin his career.
