Birthday Presents

[fingers]

Read on another Forum that both Loo and Jay have donated £500 each from their share of the prize money to buy presents for Alex and Tom (Shoes for Alex a watch for Tom) apparently Aaron initially was in for it but withdrew upsetting both Loo and Jay! BB apparently agreed to this and will deliver the said gifts later.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Selfish Aaron :nono:

[InOne]

Bloody hell, £500 quid????? On people you've know for 9 weeks or whatever

[Vicky.]

:thumbs:

[In the Drunk Tank]

They've suddenly found £10,000 in their pocket that they didn't expect to have, no need to be stingy with it

[InOne]

I guess the value of money is disorted in the house. Aaron was wise to opt out

[fingers]

£500 for a pair of shoes probably is normal for Louise - what Jay is expecting for a £500 watch is debatable! :devil:

They dont really sound too happy about doing it actually. A bit weird if the idea was just to be nice :S

As soon as jay came out of the diary room he said he felt sick about doing it...and Louise moaned that Alex doesnt share her stuff :crazy:

an empty gesture designed to make them look good which has backfired spectacularly then, if the money doesnt get split, Jay still has 15,000 and surely will give 5,000 to his betrothed.so they are both okay....Aaaron and Tom could end up with 990 and 10 quid respectively...it will be interesting to see how this is edited and the reason Aaron gave for not joining in...for goodness sake who spends 500.00 on a birthday gift...

[Rustic bauble]

£500.00 is a large amount of money.......Aaron has a son to think of.There is no guarantee that they will keep their word and split the money when they leave!! who knows what debts or commitments he might have made to his family if he wins the money...so why would he want to be extravagant and give that amount to Alex and Tom...lets face it Toms been a complete arsehole to Aaron.

As always true to himself as always.... he is prepared always to not be 'a sheep' even if it may be seen as being mean or not playing along with the others.:dance:

Yeah, some gameplan he has there eh? :p

[fingers]

No real need to be stingy, they are all racking up hefty Per Diem expenses.

[fruit_cake]

why does Alex always get given everything?? It makes me so mad

[Roy Mars III]

Thank god he backed out.

[Cherry Christmas]

No real need to be stingy, they are all racking up hefty Per Diem expenses.

No matter, Aaron may have got wind that Alex may not keep her word, so why should he throw another 500 quid at her...madness.

[fingers]

Looking at that Video, Loo and Jay had real second thoughts about their (probably) spur of the moment lapse of sense!:joker:

[Gillian-73]

500 quid for a birthday present! i've never spent that amount on a birthday present for my family or people i love so i wouldn't in there either and i sure wouldn't do it to look good!

[StraightEdge695]

money wasted on fake hair and now on stupid shoes even though the show will end in less than a week.. whats the point?

[karezza]

They are buying popularity.

[Vicky.]

They are buying popularity.

Would have probably worked better if they didnt show instant regret...

Though that bit will probably be missing from the HLs :laugh:

[Cherry Christmas]

didnt Louise realise she had already given Tom his pressie, another week in the house..:joker: and Alex already has a 30,000 grand pressie...oh dear.

[thesheriff443]

what will the bearded lady buy!,

[fingers]

Would have probably worked better if they didnt show instant regret...

Though that bit will probably be missing from the HLs :laugh:

Exactly! what was said in the DR will probably make the HL show!

[Gillian-73]

They are buying popularity.

Indeed they are!

[karezza]

Has it been confirmed that they have actually been awarded the prize money? It would be funny if BB withdrew the £50,000.

[In the Drunk Tank]

If they were "buying popularity" they wouldn't have been seen showing to regret the decision, most likely thing is they thought; "it's their birthday, we've suddenly got 10 grand, let's get them a present" and then it only really occurred to them later how much they had spent, their perception of money and it's value must be a bit strange right now because they're effectively spending cash that they don't have

[Cherry Christmas]

I could understand that concept if Aaron had gone along with it, but given he backed out, it should have acted as a wake up call...but I guess they didnt want to lose face and back down and are now 1,000 lighter...:joker:

[Omega]

Who on earth would spend £500 on someone you barely know?

[fruit_cake]

good for Aaron backing out

[Luke31]

Louise was saying. if you do something nice for someone it'll come back to you.

she's meaning votes!!


makes me sick.

[Jackie]

Jay and Louise just did it as a good will gesture thibking the public would like it in other words to gain more votes.

[iRyan]

LMAO, OMG why do the housemates always treat Alex like the bloody Queen of the house...

[fruit_cake]

LMAO, OMG why do the housemates always treat Alex like the bloody Queen of the house...

she's got the hair extensions, the 30k, and now the £500. Alex as far as I know has never given anything to another housemate. Likes to rake in the presents not so quick to dish them out though it seems

[headaball]

£500 watch and shoes. :joker:

The worst thing about this is people will fall for this blatant attempt to win votes.

.....and BB has apparently stated that they will receive the presents TONIGHT so will make tomorrow's HLs if not FB Vids tonight! lol. :dance:

[Suze]

They are buying popularity.

Precisely.

[Marmalite]

I'm sorry but who in their right mind buys someone they've known for a couple of months a present for 500 quid! And one of those presents is for someone who guaranteed to be getting 30 000 quid when they leave the house (and possibly another 50 000 on top of that).

Looks like the money they don't have is already burning a hole in their pockets. BB should give those two an Argos catalogue and tell them to circle what they want and they'll go and get it for them - that would make exciting HL show! :joker:

[Kazelle]

why does Alex always get given everything?? It makes me so mad


I totally agree. She's become the baby of the house, it's become a bit sickening really, especially after finding out about her glamour modelling etc. She's really fooled them into thinking she's so sweet and innocent.

[karezza]

It is Aaron's birthday in 2 weeks time. What are Jay & Louise going to buy him?

[Cromwell1900]

How the hell did this come about then was it a straight question from BB(cant see the clip atm) "Do you want to buy Tom & Alex a present from your prize fund?" err! err!. Jay Yes -Lu - Yes - Aaron - No.

Sounds like BB have an aim to out the hm's that care most about the dosh

Hl's last night they told the "story" of how Aaron & Jay were bothered about the money being missing from the briefcase and Alex who stayed in bed & Tom who did not notice the missing 1000s were not bothered about the dosh.

[Bojangles]

I think it was genuine,but they weren't thinking straight that Alex had already got 30K and they were about to give her another £500.Then again Jay and Louise don't think most of the time.
Alex didn't refuse it though did she?

[fingers]

It seems that Loo, Jay and Aaron themselves came up with the idea with Aaron changing his mind. When they went to put it to BB in the DR it was agreed that BB would buy the presents and deliver them tonight!

No we werent, thought it was a surprise...I guess Aaron thought they were planning a £10.00 voucher from Boots...:devil:

So why did they have to slag Aaron off for not joining in?

All this talk of 'what goes around comes around' :suspect:

It was a desperate attempt to gain favor with the voting public and to discredit Aaron at the same time.

Because Aaron agreed and then pulled out at the last minute

So what though?

Aaron backing out didn't stop Lou & Jay from still getting the present.

Oh, OK, I missed that bit! lol:hugesmile:

They'd have looked plonkers if they too had backed out as well

Well because they wanted to do it as a group I guess, and Aaron being all for it until the last minute when he suddenly decides he doesn't want to do it any more would be a bit annoying

[fingers]

Jay and Louise came up with it. They say so in the video.

Aaron agreed to it then changed his mind.

Copied and Pasted from "another place":

Kicking off proceedings, Louise told Big Brother: “just been having a bit of a chat, when I thought, ‘I’ve come in here with nothing, I want to get these guys something’.” Jay agreed, adding that it’s “nice to give.” The couple decided that they would both put £500 out of their allotted amounts, towards the presents, with Jay choosing a watch for Tom and Louise choosing a pair of shoes for Alex. Big Brother agreed to their proposition, stating that their presents will be delivered to them later today.

Aaron was initially in on the gesture, but decided not to go through with it at the last minute, much to the annoyance of Jay and Louise. Recalling the incident to Big Brother, Louise had a rant saying she knew Aaron wouldn’t agree, Jay adding - “what comes around, goes around”

[MrWong]

2049: Louise and Jay are miffed at Aaron for being in a strop and telling Jay that they bought Alex & Tom presents for the cameras.


:joker::joker::joker:

Aaron to win!!

[karezza]

How much will Jay/Louise spend on Tom/Alex birthday presents next year?

[Cromwell1900]

Sounds like a smart move then on Lu & Jay's part killing to birds with one stone, Keeps Alex sweet enough to stick to her promise of the split, and it looks good to the voters. Anyone's guess which bird they were aiming for though.

Jays already has 15,000K, Lou has 4,000 so if he gives her 5,000 she is only out by a 1,000...well 1500 now...:devil:

I stand corrected of course your right. Jay has no reason to keep Alex sweet and nor does Lu. Sounds like a play for the cameras then.:sleep:

[Florence N]

Jay wasn't keen, Louise pushed him into it. Aaron was right to refuse he's not a hypocrite

[Bluerang1]

Way too much spent.

I like jay and louise but that was done for votes.
The way they regretted it and pondered over it after showed why they done it.
Louise"good always comes back to you" i.e. we will get some votes for this

p.s. aaron is only worried that he will look bad and lose votes too.

So who telling the truth? Is BB twitter making it up or Aaron? Because from the clip it would seems Aaron wasn't aware of the gifts being brought!

[Kazanne]

LOL :laugh3:

Someone should tell Jay and Louise a fool and his money are soon parted!

If those FaceBook Vids were shown on the HL show Aaron would be seen to be the absolute boor that he is!

[MrWong]

Yep. Just saw the clip. Jay and Lou didn't ask Aaron to join the gift giving and Jay said BB said they weren't allowed to tell anyone.

Yet the news on the BB site stated that Aaron was asked, accepted at first then refused.

I'm confused by that as well :S

[fingers]

I'm confused by that as well :S

It IS very confusing, but I'd hazard a guess that since he, Aaron, was theoretically only getting £990 they figured he'd refuse anyway!

[erinp5]

http://apps.facebook.com/bigbr...-it-for-the-cameras/

Aaron told Jay that he thought spending £500 on presents looked like they were doing it for the cameras and the fact that they didn't speak to him about it, more so. Jay said they didn't plan it, it just came into their heads and when they spoke to BB about it, he said they were not allowed to tell Aaron.

[coll]

What a total sham this whole programme is!!!!

[Novo]

Aaron just said he wouldn't even spend that much on his son for his birthday so why should he spend that much on Tom and Alex, True.

[Blink_Me]

I don't see the problem. If Aaron doesn't want to spend £500, then that's his choice. I think Aaron was just confused of why they would spend that much. Obviously this will give him a bad edit..... but I respect him for not licking anyone's arse.

Obviously I've seen the BOTS clips and videos. What I meant is, is that Jay and Louise have probably gone ahead of it and he's probably just confused of why they would spend that much on them 2; if Aaron doesn't want to spend £500 on them, then that's his choice. I actually don't see a problem with this. But because it involves Aaron, it's a major deal.

I agree that if he doesn't want to spend that amount he is perfectly right in not doing so. But equally, if Jay and Louise do, they are perfectly right to do so too. Aaron is the one who's made it a major deal by going into yet another strop.

Like Aaron said it does make Jay & Lu look bad, like they have questionable motives. I don't think anyone is trying to suggest Aaron not spending 500 quid on the pair makes him look bad.

As for a bad edit not sure what you mean really.

I agree with Aaron shouldn't tell Jay or Louise what to do with money. I guess we need to see how this is edited out tomorrow to get a better picture of things.

Well wait til you see the bigger picture before you make the judgement. From what I have read on here if Jay and Louise have done that without involving Aaron...then how would that make him look and feel??
If Aaron has said he wouldnt even spend 500.00 on his own son so why would he consider spending that on Alex and Tom then he is being honest and sensible.
Aarons the sort of person that even if he was decently rich he would keep things in perspective....and you surely have to respect him for that.
If Jay and Louise want to spend their money that way then thats their decision....but did they consider how Aaron might feel about not being involved with the gift???

I think he'd have refused to to take part and accused them of playing up to the cameras!

[vesavius]

such a LOL sight...

Aaron the 'master gameplayer' seething with frustration at having a move stolen on him by his rivals :joker::joker:

Ofc, then he tries to switch it on them by accusing them for doing it for selfish reasons, only to give them the moral high ground :joker::joker:

Where oh where has the old Aaron gone... the one that knew how to play BB? Where has this clumsy bumbling fool come from? :joker::joker:

Bloody hell, they haven't even seen their bank accounts and they are already spending it.

I wonder if Louise will ask them for a shopping catalogue to browse through while she's still in there... :laugh:

Nope. The one that knows how to play BB is sitting with 30,000 in her bank account, a new pair of shoes that cost 500 quid, hair extensions that were bought with others food budget and having everyone (including BB) wait on her hand and foot. She's the real BB game player - no doubt about that!

The drivel of HM's that are left in the house have sucked the life out of Aaron (God, they've sucked the life out of me!) - you cannot soar like an eagle when you work with a bunch of turkeys! :nono:

A few minor set-backs but no worries - he will still win BB 2011 :thumbs:

[vesavius]

:joker::joker::joker:...your comments are comical.

Thanks! I really enjoy them as well! :thumbs:

[Rustic bauble]

Aaron is smart enough to know the money isnt even in his account yet.... how does he know he can trust the division of money when they all get out!!!
BB could play another game this week where the money will be reduced even further.....its happened before.
No wonder BB was happy to buy the gifts....cos how entertaining would it be to find that money could be reduuced with other tasks.
Do you think that once outside the house and seeing something they dont like could change their mind....Alex and Jay and Louise would find a reason.
Aaron is wise and this is a clever ploy by BB and Aaron is upset because the others have fallen for it and he knows (yet again) that it will show him in a bad light.

[Rustic bauble]

Thanks! I really enjoy them as well! :thumbs:

Oh dear...:idc:

[vesavius]

Oh dear...:idc:

ahh Rustic, you'll get it.

When Aaron is out and does interviews saying that OFC he isn't anything like the man in the house and laughs at the people that thought he actually was...

It will be too late to reclaim your vote money, but you will at least get it :dance:
