Sharing the prize money

[smudgie]

What right has he to put people on the spot like that. Talking about whoever wins sharing the prize money with Steve. Now if anybody declines they may perceive that the public think they are nasty and will vote against them. BB is a game show where the public will decide the winner and if Steve should win then good on him, but if not then he should not be given part of the winners pot.

He actually said that???

What an attention seeking Tosspot he is!

[fingers]

In any case Endemol could easily buy him the latest prosthetic limbs that he needs!

When did he say that, how dare he put people in that position:shocked::mad::(:devil:

I never liked Dave, he always creeped me out. If this is true, then I can add it to my long, long list of reasons why I don't like him.

[Claymores]

It used to be an enforced BB rule in early series that talking about what you'd do with the money was a fundamental rule break punishable by formal warning (ultimately ejection if carried -on)

They brought this rule to the fore a bit after BB1 Winner Craig had often mentioned he'd give the money to his Downs Syndrome relative and people raised the issue that this could be construed as a tactic to win votes in the final.

That rule got forgotten along the way.

Me too, i've not liked him since day 1.

To curry favour with the viewing public is the ONLY reason he would have said that!:wavey:

Neither have I. That laughing he did on the way into the house was very strange.

[Claymores]

Dave saying that he's lay his hands-on Steve and ask the Lord to grow him new legs, is the other Dave bit I find unforgivable.

That was objectionable to me, even if Steve felt able to let it go. This new one seems also to treat Steve as purely a figure of sympathy than a real person

Tactless R Us

[paper-cut-exit]

Dave's a clown... and he has no tact. Just the sorta thing i'd expect from the slavering buffoon tbh.

If he actually believed what he said, he's a raving *****ing lunatic and ought to be sectioned for the public good.:conf:

I know when said that to steve, i felt totally discusted, how patronise can one person be:mad:

[Peter Plunker]

So if someone has a good motive they are automatically trying to curry favour with the viewing public?

Paranoid much?

[Peter Plunker]

You are far more patronising by implying that Steve cannot think for himself.

PS, learn to write in English please.

[Zippy]

Im sure Steve gets his legs paid for anyway. He's probably got a vast collection for all occasions.

Of course he does, the cheapest the NHS can find!

1. Fundamental rule-break........just not being enforced lately.

2. Extremely patronising - why not boost Steve's confidence by telling him he's win the show on merit by being a nice guy? Treating him as someone to be pitied and thefefore should be the subject of their charity is just wrong.

Yer pal had turned me round a bit, especially by digging the house out of Ben's hole yesterday, but his faux pas always drag me back to where I was.

[Marzy]

I cannot abide people who try and guilt trip you into something you have different views on. Dave is an arsehole!!:mad:

[Braden]

What an arse-hole

[chuff me dizzy]

I dont like him also and like you if he sunk so low as to say this I will add it to my long list of why I dont like the STUPID Bible basher

Totally agree with you, from experience as i am in wheelchair, i just cant stand people pitting me, & feeling sorry for me.

[InOne]

They all went in equal, no matter what their past stories are.

[bbfan1991]

I agree that the winner shouldn't have to donate money to help Steve get new things for his legs with their earnings, it's their cash however if they choose to do it then I would say fair play:).

I respect Steve in the fact that he has his disability but hates to be patronised and will ask for help when he needs it whilst also not needing pity!.

[discotheque]

Forget the legs, just chip in and get him some contraception, the randy walrus.

[Jords]

Oh please not this 'sharing the prize fund' nonsense again.

[Kazanne]

i agree with Ben on this point,as he said he was against it and it should have been a group decision.
Ben's point is that everyone has their own causes and charities and that it is a bit off for people to make a decision that the winner will do 'X' with the money without consulting everyone. Especially in a situation like this where people can't really say no without looking like a git.

He might have someone close to him who needs the money but, as he is more of a private person than the others who like to blab about every element of their life, he can't share that.

He is also honest enough to say that he's not happy with this situation. The others may agree and then not make good on their promise. He's just straight-forward enough to say what others may be thinking.

Besides unless the idea came from Josie or Corin, I'd suspect that it was someone sulking that they weren't going to win and coming up with a respectable way of taking away from the winner & looking good themselves in the process.

[lynz]

According to what Dave told Ben the idea came from Shabby.

Yeah it was a rule of sorts however Craig never mentioned who he would give the prize money to until he actually had won.

Just ask ourselves, not what God would do, but what would the Lord Jeffrey Archer do? To carry-on our ongoing joke kazanne :joker:

I maybe have too many holes-in-the-brain Terry from infected mad-cow pies, so I'll take your word. My recollection was that he told the house (and ergo us) many times he'd give the prize money to a disabled relative so she could go to America for some theraputic treatment which was thought might help her condition.

[fingers]

The good Lord Archer would hire an expensive lawyer and do some more "time" in luxury Hotels er prisons!:dance:

Naturally writing another "best-seller"!

[bbfan1991]

Ben would need his for his career in America:p;).

A bit OT, but my favourite found quote of the week when ribbing Benite's about Ben's idol:

Archer then had gone to Iraq on a fact-finding mission, where his chant of "Long Live Kurdistan" was mis-translated as "Bastard, Devilish Kurdistan."

[lynz]

Well, that makes it alright then!:joker::joker::joker::joker:

Not at all, I think it utterly ridiculous that they are already discussing what to do with the prize money. The series isn't even at the halfway mark. Very presumptuous of them to assume that one of them might win it as there are still new HM to come in. Obviously whoever did come up with that idea is trying to curry favour with the more gullible viewers.

[Claymores]

He's a shoe-in for FOX News - he knows Gloria Hunniford which the yanks are always craving insider info on :thumbs:

I doubt it - the NHS is not that generous!

[Claymores]

Yup - that was excessive on p1, in fact, I heard Steve specifically say that one of the prothetics was "borrowed", rather than allocated to him permanantly (i.e. borrowed from his local NHS Trust)

[paper-cut-exit]

Yeah... i think he said the borrowed limb was worth around 30 grand or something.

Bet he's on first name terms with Rupert Murdoch! :devil:

Prosthetic limbs are very expensive. And they need changing every few years as the stump changes, NHS trusts maintain stocks of them because people would need to take mortgages out to have their own. Its not like in the days of long john silver.

Well that then makes sense that the leg is borrowed from NHS. Obviously each time he needs a different one they take that back and he gets another. Nothing wrong with that. Pointless owning one if it is going to have to be replaced every so often.

[Shasown]

Cut a branch off the nearest tree and borrow a penknife.:dance:

Yeah but just make sure the branch doesnt have woodworm or other pests.

[Angus]

According to what Dave told Ben the idea came from Shabby.

Wouldn't be surprised - she knows she hasn't a cat in hell's chance of winning, so wants to put the boot in for whoever does. Spiteful cow.

But they will have given him some legs :rolleyes: he will not have to buy them

Yeah they "give" you the "Terminator" looking ones but the type that Paul McCartney's former wife (can't remember her name!) has cost a bomb and are not availaible on tne NHS!
