jj1 rich at 24

[Part-timer]

Only caught the last 20mins tonight but im sure i heard the farmer say to the Couger that the Austrialian one has something like a 1/4 mil in the bank and bought his last girlfriend a 10k car!

Nice!

Maybe i picked that up wrong though.

If it is true ,i wont be puttin money on him.
The rich kids rarely win BB no matter how many hormonal women vote

Did i get this right?

[eviled2010]

I think the farmer said he might have 1/2 a mill...might have heard wrong though...but her fat eyes were sticking out of her fat head at the thought.

1/2 mil ! Lol . He can afford to buy her a brand new Combine Harvester

Something to do with compensation for the accident when his father was killed.

[kylaxxx]

I think money is from his dad's accident, mind u money don't make up for his dad's death now does it!

[eviled2010]

1/2 mil ! Lol . He can afford to buy her a brand new Combine Harvester

ROFLMAO!
Nice One!

Your right it dosn't.

[ibook4113]

He has money from inheritance from his fathers death. He said that he signed over a car worth 10K to his previous GF because her one had broken, he didn't buy it, he gave it to her because he had a truck and a car and it was something he wasn't using as much.

[lynz]

At that rate he is going to go through the inheritance quite quickly. Although it is a lot of money, it certainly is not a fortune.

[smudgie]

He said he had about 500,000, now I don't know if it is £ or Aussie dollars. Either way it is over £290.000.

[big bro fan]

half a million pound

[fingers]

half a million pound

That's 1 Million Aussie Dollars!

SOURCE? :wavey:

[charmingmissc]

in one way it proves he is not doing it for the money,

[Claymores]

Hardly a great topic to pour over one way or another since the money apperently came to him through the compensation accrued following his father's death through industrial accident

[Zippy]

Well he doesnt deserve to win BB then if he doesnt need the money!

[karezza]

Miss Piggy said Crab Eyes has over £0.5m. How rich is the 30 second man?

:conf:

[smudgie]

I am not sure he does not tell porkies about money. This being the same JJ that said he was not in it for the money,as it cost as much to fly back and forth, when asked how it cost £100.000 to fly from Australia a few times he just went quiet.
He may have the half million he said he has, but probably dollars . That is one hefty pay out for compenbsation when you consider his mother would receive the bulk of it first.

[Zippy]

Is that in Aussie dollars though? Its a lot less than pounds(half mill aus dollars = £285k)

And if he doesnt need the money then he shouldnt win the £100k prize cheq over somebody more deserving and needy. Not that the twat deserves to win anyways mind.

[Hero1]

She said half a million right? That could explain a lot about his behaviour, no wonder why he had a thing about superficial girls who are only interested in looks and money!

I think he could have got the money from his father's death, if he lost his life at work, I suspect there was a big insurance pay out and his mother saved money for him till he got to a certain age (that is a wild guess of course)

[janaddy86]

I'd assumed it was possibly Australian dollars he was talking about. But there was no celing on the amount so who knows.

He didn't actually say he had anything like 'half a million' either. All of this is based on a look that JJ gave to Josie. :)

[Livia]

Who cares. He could be a rich as Cresus and he'd still be dull.

[Hero1]

If he does not know how to convert Aussie dollars to Engish pounds, possibly!

Josie said a half a million, the replays will be on today!

[Malza]

nothing more then useless speculations

[janaddy86]

nothing more then useless speculations

Exactly

[karezza]

He inherited a lot of money from his father - he could be a millionaire.

[janaddy86]

He inherited a lot of money from his father - he could be a millionaire.

What is your source for this?

[Zippy]

nothing more then useless speculations

Not entirely useless. If he doesnt need the prize money then its a factor in deciding who should win.

In BB7 Eugene would probably have won but he had already taken half the prize money in a deal. Its generally thought that he lost because of that reason.

[karezza]

What is your source for this?

His father was a builder who died in an accident.:shocked:

[janaddy86]

His father was a builder who died in an accident.:shocked:

So he said it to some of the other housemates I take it? How much did he get?

[Kaaarenn!]

It's not just about the money by winning Big Brother. He has a lot of money because his dad died, that's why he's unemployed at the moment.

[Claymores]

Not entirely useless. If he doesnt need the prize money then its a factor in deciding who should win.

I think this the weakest example of straw clutching I've seen you manage so far.

The conrtributary factor for BOTH Eugene AND LIAM was that people thought they'd already had a substantial reward from BB.

[Claymores]

Well he doesnt deserve to win BB then if he doesnt need the money!

I think this the weakest example of straw clutching I've seen you manage so far.

[holy moley]

how does him possibly having money become a factor in deciding who should win?

dose all of this revolve around who deserves a few quid and who dont need it?

[Niamh.]

I'm sure he'd rather have his dad than the money

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm sure he'd rather have his dad than the money

exactly

[Zippy]

I think this the weakest example of straw clutching I've seen you manage so far.

Says JJs number one uberfan!

And Ive given numerous reasons why he doesnt deserve to win...this is just ANOTHER ONE.

And a very valid one too. How can we get excited about him receiving £100k cheq knowing he doesnt even need it? Fk that. :xyxwave:

[seanraff07]

He's unemployed at the moment eh?

Well if he's still got £500k then surely his Dad must have died recently?

[wilful_woodpecker]

while I agree Liam and Eugene had won a substantial amount from BB and may therefore have lost out on first place because of it, I don't think who has most in their own private account, whether it's obtained via insurance or just hard work, is as likely to influence the public over the next couple of weeks

TBH, I think being part of a couple could well be their downfall as much as anything - perversely, while people like to see a romance flourish, they also seem to like to break it up before the end (whatever your thoughts on JJJ just now and the romance / nomance / fauxmance)

[karezza]

He has at least £500k. He is probably a millionaire.

[Claymores]

He's unemployed at the moment eh?

Well if he's still got £500k then surely his Dad must have died recently?

Approximately 2 years ago I believe - and bear in mind that compensation payouts are a notoriously slow process.

[Zippy]

2 years ago or summat. The half mill is based on Josie asking him if he had more than half mill and I think he gestured yes. So we dont know whether he meant aussie dollars or how much more than half mill. He could have £275k UK sterling or several million.....anywhere inbetween!

[Crimson Dynamo]

there is no such thing as

"deserves to win"

its a game ffs

[Malza]

Not entirely useless. If he doesnt need the prize money then its a factor in deciding who should win.


Do you really think any 14 year old drooling on John Girl would stop supporting him just because he owns already enough money?

So again - useless

[Crimson Dynamo]

Miss Piggy said Crab Eyes has over £0.5m. How rich is the 30 second man?

:conf:



That all rather depends on how you are defining "rich"

[Ammi]

more interesting - apparantly saying he cant wait to buy designer clothes for Josie. Is this the Crab eyes that hates superficiality - no golly gee I can't believe it - surely not designer clothes, model girlfriends! You all still love him anyway - right?

[seanraff07]

Not entirely useless. If he doesnt need the prize money then its a factor in deciding who should win.

Also it could have been cause he entered the house halfway through though.

[Zippy]

Yes there is.

[Claymores]

WEAK

The show is about being crowning a winner - not who you think needs £100k.

Also, don't know where you live, but even a bank balance of £500k ain't gonna take you too far for too ling anyway, even if you do plan to live in a cardboard box

[Zippy]

Its all part of who should win. Pretend otherwise now it suits you because your idol is exposed as a lazy rich boy who can trot off around the world being phoney on reality TV shows. Like all shy, modest boys would!

He doesnt need the prize money and his behaviour doesnt deserve him victory either. Nothing weak about that. Its obvious!

[Niamh.]

Threads merged

[Shiner]

He has at least £500k. He is probably a millionaire.

Just remember though that Josie will require a fair wedge of his inheritance to get by on as she's the only HM that won't be doing any deals with the newspapers when she gets out. :joker:

[eye sea]

That money won't last long if he keeps buying presents for people all the time. He should think wise, and invest in property.

[seanraff07]

Ah right, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Either way it's a lot of money.

Nobody will care about that, the JJ fans will vote for him, no matter if he lives from the hand in the mouth or if he is a millionaire

So hard to understand?

A) He ain't my idol

B) If we're being picky didn't non-employed shop assistant Corin receive a payout into the millions I recall seeing in a press article when her husband was killed? Has she blown it on on eyebrow pencils, fake tan and the boob job?????????

Presumbaly you will now argue that Corin should be ruled-out as a winner?

I know 2 things she spent it on anyway................

[joeysteele]

I dont think what money he has is anyones business, he may have most tied up in investments anyway earning vast interest that he can live off.I dont like him at all, but Josie sadi she asked him if he was rich, said a figure and he smiled, it seems he hasn't confirmed any figure at all, now I like Josie but was surprised she ran off to tell ANYONE that he was rich and speculating on figures,even had I confided to a friend what money I had I dont think I would apprfove of them making it public,this wasnt just telling a friend Jjames business, this is a televised programme it was telling the world JJames business.
niamhxo,makes the absoulte 100% correct point, bet he'd rather have his Dad still than the money anyway.

[Claymores]

Ah right, thanks for clearing that up for me.

Either way it's a lot of money.

I know housing is cheap up here in Scotland. Even if he has say £400k..........do you realise how little that'll buy in London by way of somewhere to live? (assuming he follows-up on his with to settle in UK.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Crab uryes is rich?!:o He's even more appealing now!!!:hugesmile:

If he truly loves Josie and it works out outside BB this will truly be like a fairytale. He not only fell in love with someone nobody expected him too but he rescued her from her aunties farm (she lives in her aunt's farm right?) aww it's pretty woman all over again:bawling:

[Niamh.]

How much money any of them have or have not should be irrelevant. If it was about that then why not get 13 homeless people as HMs, surely they need the money more????!!!!

Josie didn't come out of it looking good - being the biggest gob in Bristol by going tattle-tale to Jo cerainly did her no favours.

[seanraff07]

I live in Edinburgh and it's pretty expensive but i know it's a lot cheaper in places in Scotland outwith Edinburgh.

He doesn't have to live in London though, could move to Bristol near Josie?

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Josie didn't come out of it looking good - being the biggest gob in Bristol by going tattle-tale to Jo cerainly did her no favours.
did she? well since she can't keep her mouth shut knowing the whole nation will hear what they try very hard to hide under the cover, she can't blame sam for thinking she would gladly tell the story to papers. that's why she's still going on about it now, because the samster sussed her out.
Take me crab uryes! :dance:

[Zippy]

So hard to understand?

Well its a big buzz new topic on here so obviously some care about it. And knowing he's a rich boy WILL make a difference to some voters, of that Im certain. Maybe not the typical young girly fans but certainly the more thoughtful fans. And those voters it makes a difference to could be the difference between him winning or losing in the end.

Put it this way, it aint gonna win him any votes.

[Josy]

That money won't last long if he keeps buying presents for people all the time. He should think wise, and invest in property.

He already said his family has money tied up in many different investments.

(This was the last time Josie was asking about his money we found this out)

[Claymores]

Well its a big buzz new topic on here so obviously some care about it. And knowing he's a rich boy WILL make a difference to some voters, of that Im certain..

It's only a buzz to you and a couple of others who have been trying to use it as a club.

Unfortunately, you'd forgotten that Corin reportedly got a payout running into millions when her husband died.

If the 'not-in-employment' shop assistant is now skint, does that mean she has blown it on on eyebrow pencils, fake tan and the boob job????????? Either way, this would make her either a millionaire or else a complete spendthrift.

To repeat my question: Will you now argue that Corin should be ruled-out as a winner on this basis?

[pixee]

Is this why josie was so offended by sam cause it makes it look to JJ that she has a high interest in money?

[Zippy]

To repeat my question: Will you now argue that Corin should be ruled-out as a winner on this basis?

I haven't heard anything about her having millions, besides what you wrote. Looking at her eyebrows I doubt thats true. If she did then I would say that is also a factor when it comes to the crunch.

But regardless of that, I didnt think he deserved to win anyways and this is hardly the only reason! Just an ADDITIONAL factor thats all. Fk knows I already had enough reasons why that twat shouldnt win. Now he's just a rich twat thats the only difference!

[MojoNixon]

Only caught the last 20mins tonight but im sure i heard the farmer say to the Couger that the Austrialian one has something like a 1/4 mil in the bank and bought his last girlfriend a 10k car!

Maybe i picked that up wrong though.

Sounds like Kenneth....

Take me crab uryes! :dance:

You can have him. Go and get him away right now. Thank You.

[Lex]

I think money is from his dad's accident, mind u money don't make up for his dad's death now does it!

No it certainly does'nt!!....Nor can it make up for him being a Dick!!
And 10 grand on a car??....What was it?...Bottom of the range Skoda?
Tight git!! :shocked: :dance:

[Claymores]

I haven't heard anything about her having millions, besides what you wrote.

It was reported across the rag tops that Corin got a payout running into millions when her husband died. This would make her either a millionaire or, if now skint, a complete spendthrift

I'd suggest that these press reports are as substantive as any of Josie's guesses after John declined to lower himself to talk of his bank balance

Leaving that aside, I found your straw-clutching above extremely weak, if not distateful. I won't sink to that level by trying hold her money against Corin as a reason she shouldn't win

[Zippy]

youre such a transparent hypocrite. Bless! :pat:

Corin has 100% won the show the same as Rachel Rice won. how boring

[Claymores]

:joker:

youre such a transparent hypocrite. Bless! :pat:

How am I being hypocritical? - I consistently stated above that you're straw-clutching was extremely weak and agree with Niamh that HMs personal finances are totally irrelevant.

I simply have pointed-out that if you wish to use people's bank balances as a stick, then YOU will have to be even-handed and you'll have to argue that Corin should likewise be ruled-out as a winner.

You hit upon an immense own-goal with your posts above...go review them

[Shiner]

:joker:

youre such a transparent hypocrite. Bless! :pat:

Your posts the last couple of days have been most baffling. It's like you've been taking Vesavius pills or something. :D

Hey what happened to him while I was away anyway? Too much Josie hate?

[Zippy]

I simply have pointed-out that if you wish to use people's bank balances as a stick, then YOU will have to be even-handed and tou'll have to argue that Corin should likewise be ruled-out as a winner.



Well I was even handed when I said if Corin did have millions then that should also be a factor in the final crunch....say, if she were up against Andrew for instance. I would maybe think her having lots of money may make him slightly more worthy of winning at that point. Like when Anthony won in BB7; many felt Eugene taking the deal lost him the win...he already had big money in the bag.

So its a FACTOR. And how can I be a hypocrite when Im applying it to both JJ and my fave Corin? Talk sense.

[Claymores]

Well this concession that you're gonna have to be even-handed if you're gonna continue with this fascile obsession over HMs bank balances is certainly a breakthrough.

And again, the conrtributary factor for BOTH Eugene AND LIAM was, I'm sure, that people felt they'd already had a substantial reward from BB. Not their personal wealth upon entering the house.

Glad you've seen the light.
