Default People say £500 is too much as a present, but are ok with Alex sharing her winnings
Again, always with the double standards.

Aaron won't spend £500 on a present for the girl, but he will happily take £9000 or whatever of the money she has already won.

She is giving away FAR more then when the presents cost.

You would think a normal adult would say...'hey, you don't have to share your winnings with me, I am grateful you are, have a nice present for your birthday to say thank you'.

But no...

After watching this back I think Alex is actually justified in saying '**** you jack' to him. She won't, but I would understand if she did and just looked after her friends.

He is such a douche.

Yes, she did agree to be generous with the group if she won.

Pity some in the group don't have the decency to be generous back.

Any of them would've been generous though. The present thing can't be compared.

Why twist things? They all agreed to share the money equally before they even found out the amounts they were getting

Rubbish. The girl is giving away 20k of the money she has won.

Some people would be grateful for that gesture.

If a person had agreed to do that I definitely would buy them a decent B'day present as a thank you.

NO!!...I've always hated it when the prize money is interfered with!

The winner has earned every penny of it....Afterall, £100,000. spread over 24 hours per day for 10 weeks solid is not even a very generous prize imo!

They could get ten times that much for about a half hours stint on Chris Tarrant's show!

As I said before, whoever won it would've done the same, cos they all agreed.

No, it is her money. It is being paid in her bank account. She won it.

Buying her a £500 present to say thankyou for sharing seems right.

Saying you don't want to spend money on her is churlish, ungrateful, and pathetic.

You really, if someone had agreed to share that money with you, wouldn't buy them a decent B'day present to say thanks?

wow... ok

She agreed before they knew who was getting what. So she didnt agree to share HER winnings. She could just as easily have picked the tenner. Which piece of paper she happened to pick...after everyone agreed to split...means nothing.

She's not at all being generous for sharing the 30k, she's keeping up her end of a deal that was made.

They all agreed to be generous if they won the 30K. Don't try and single her out as some kind of saint, coz it's NOT the case, your argument is flawed.
