Selfish intentions or not, at least Jay & Louise actually got a present

[Tom]

More than can be said for a certain mr moody bollocks

Alex & Tom were both really happy so its a win-win all round. Only he could spin a negative onto it

[Vicky.]

Easy to do when you have 19k between you :wink:

The gifts on offer were actually HALF of the money Aaron actually has.

Plus they are just stupid...BB said those were the 'mid-range' presents...so clearly there was a lower range to follow.

If Aaron chipped in then it would have been about £300, less than a third of his money. And they said they're splitting it when they get out anyway, so that point is blown out of the water ;)

Well no its not. At all.

Currently Aaron has like 1k. Whos to say they actually will split it? ;)

But in that case surely BB should have offered the lower range to Aaron

Of course they should. But they wanted drama. Which they got :D

The HLs tonight would have been crap without all the arguments :laugh:

[flamingGalah!]

I'm sure if Jay & Louise hadn't have gone behind Aaron's back (to try & make themselves look good & Aaron bad) then BB would have kept offering cheaper & cheaper presents, which actually would have been funnier if they would have got them a £5 bath set from Boots or something :joker:

Agree they should have realized. It occurred to me when they first went into the diary room !!!!!!! Did this happen on a previous BB ?

And as we know those presents that is all they will get. The £50.000 is lost as they have the winning order wrong.

Sorry remind me again what Jay and Louise got Anton for his birthday as I can't remember, thanks. :wink:

[armand.kay]

Im still shoked they spent £500 on someone they only new for two months O.o

[the truth]

jay and louise have spent their own money the ONLY thing they did wrong was not consult aaron. that looked a bit silly. they knew though as hed been in twice hed say no.
I think louise mentioning the £500 twice was cringeworthy and also aaron was bemused as tom thanked him.
I think all 3 looked prats in different ways .....louise mentioned the money didnt consult aaron - prat jay less so but didnt consult aaron and later lost his rag -prat
aaron endless pouting ruined yet another occasion. BUT to prove I am a fair man overall Id say aaron came off best out of this situation. for once he pouted for a legitimate reason. trouble is when you cry wolf 50 times you lose credibility

after tonights fiasco Id say tom came out looking the best.

[Visage]

Did anyone buy Anton a birthday present when he celebrated his birthday in the BB house ?

[Vicky.]

Nope...though the excuse will be that they had no money then.

But if they were really as thoughtful as they would like us to believe, they would have made him something. IIRC Jay didnt even make his best mate one of those cards that hes so good at crafting :'(

Had Antons birthay been in the final week though, then Im sure it would have been different :wink:

[MPVS]

In such an environment such as the Big Brother house, two months feels like two years, so no, it actually makes sense. And it's actually the thought that counts, but as usual, no one wants to give any appreciation to actual kind deeds in the house.

[Locke.]

Anton was crowned as the rightful King of the house on his birthday, that is much better than some silly watch or pair of shoes

[maryse12]

What's the big deal!? Aaron said to Jay and Louise in the diary room "I'm not spending that much you guys do what you want". So why is he going on about them not consulting him?? He is just worried that it puts them in a better light so of course he has to twist things around and say they did it for the cameras blah blah blah.. I'm surprised everyone is 'shocked' they spent that much money...remember they came into the house with nothing! They all have $10000 in their pocket whats $500 less when you never had it to begin with? Am I the only one who see's it like this?

*sigh*

THEY didn't come up with the idea of giving the presents, BIG BROTHER DID! they wouldn't have done it otherwise!

why on earth are you bringing anton's birthday into this? urgh!

and having no money isn't 'an excuse' it's A REASON :nono:

You think Jay and Louise will split theirs....if they are sneaky enough to do what they did over the present then would you trust them to share their money....not as far as I could throw them!!!

[Lex]

I feel that Jay and Louise's attempt to pull a fast one on Aaron by sneakily trying to come across as 'much nicer people than him' backfired on them!
Aaron was the only one being 'real' (as Louise keeps claiming to be).

Lets face it....on the outside world, Jay and Louise would'nt even give Alex and Tom the time of day!....let alone £500 each!

Aaron was correct to wait for BB to fetch the Argos book out!...But the sly plastic-showmancers couldnt wait to try and pull a fast one....and ruined what could have been a good occasion enjoyed by all with Alex and Tom being just as happy with more realistic gifts!!

You are not the only one and I wholeheartedly salute you for being one of the (seemingly) only few who watch the show to see everything exactly as it is. I cannot believe any of this is even disputable. Aaron said No, so Louise and Jay decided to do it because they are charitable nice people, Aaron did not like the fact that others may be perceived as better than him (as he is jealous and hungry for the money), and now everyone is turning against philanthropists and coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories to defend the meanest housemate of them all, Aaron, against quite possibly the friendliest two, Jay and Louise. It's just ludicrous and makes me lose all hope for society if people in this world are easily susceptible to such unfriendly tactics.

you have got no proof bb would've brought out an argos book.

trouble is, one person on here will assume something like this and the rest of you will repeat it like its fact. :rolleyes:

agreed up to a point. BUT I think they should told aaron they were going back in. thats all that weasel aaron needs is half a chance to strop and moan and slag everyone of to cameras all day long and he milked it all night

aaron simply milked the situation himself. he accuses jay louise of playing to the cameras when thats all hes done for 10 weeks. even tonight he pouted talked to the cameras ruined 2 birthdays callously, sneaked into the diary room and stuck the knife in. he didn even own up to tom the presents werent his.

BUT when Aaron said NO....so too did Jay and Louise...then they went back and changed their mind without discussing their decision with Aaron....god some of you are soooo deluded!!!

[slickster24]

Like I said in the thread above. They would not spend the remaining 9.5k on 19 of their closest friends and family so that is why I think it's bs that thru spent that much on them. They obviously are doing it for selfish reasons eg votes and getting a bigger cut of money from Alex.

[cell]

Personally if I was in Aarons position (not wanting to get the gift) and purposefully stated I WAS NOT spending money and told the other 2 people to knock themselves out and get something if they want, then I would not have behaved like Aaron did. If I didn't want to spend that much I would state HOW MUCH I was willing to spend.
I would be happy that the others got the gifts, and excited to see what they got, and happy to see that the are happy. Even feeling uncomfortable about having not participated (which Louise didn't mention that Aaron didn't spend until he made a comment to Jay) I would probably joke about being a stingy bastard and try not to effect the atmosphere. It just seemed to me he tried to manipulate his way through the situation. He couldn't even just let them have a good evening he needed to plant a seed in Jay and Louises mind.

[Tribal Spaceman]

I know for a fact that the plan was to offer cheaper and cheaper gifts. with one option being a "joint" gift for both of them.

Why anyone would buy a present for Tom is beyond me though. He's a two-faced nasty little boy that still has a grudge against Aaron since he knocked him back early on in the series.

[Lex]

Bringing different types of people,... sure!....For people like me to watch and make personal judgements on their levels of sycophancy and post my personal deliberations on forums such as this one!...or is that concept lost on you...?

And it was obvious when BB announced that the first catalogue was the 'high-range', and the second one was the 'mid-range' that there would certainly have been a third ...'low-range' catalogue to come, (ie, Argos!).
....which was also mentioned by Emma Willis's husband on BOTS, ...so I dont consider it to be such a sretch to assume that it would have been the Argos catalogue at all!....Do you...? :whistle:

[MachoPoodle]

You think Jay and Louise will split theirs....if they are sneaky enough to do what they did over the present then would you trust them to share their money....not as far as I could throw them!!!

Like Aaron would have done, had he gotten more than 990? He'd never share. Not even with Faye.

[Ellen]

Maybe they should have asked Aaron again if he wanted in on the presents but they didnt because Aaron had already said no....

That to me is all Aaron should be put out about.
He accuses them of doing it for more votes after telling them if they wanted to get presents then feel free yet he is going round like a sulky child playing up to the camera's for more votes.
This bloke needs to grow up and have a serious word with himself.

[chuff me dizzy]

Anyone who believes they did it out of the goodness of their hearts needs their head examining

[Suze]

Oh well, that makes it alright then doesn't it.

[soundslike]

OMG I have heard it all now!:shocked:

[Kazanne]

Got this off (skytoy) on Ds,IMO it says it all.
I'm shocked that so many people are pouring hate on Aaron after presentgate. Take a moment to think, stop judging and condemning, and you will understand that Aaron was clearly in the right.

Aaron said that since he would not spend £500 on a pair of shoes or a watch in the real world for a friend he would not make such an extravagant purchase in the BB house. In his conversation with Jay, Jay also agreed that he would never spend such an amount on Tom and Alex in the real world. Jay said everything in the BB house was fake and artificial to which Aaron said 'But Jay you are still REAL'. Jay revealed that no he was not being real in the BB house. Jay later told Louise that had he met Aaron in the real world he would have beaten the cr*p out of him by now but that it was only because he was in the BB house that he had to act differently. Tom and Alex later said their birthday party was very fun so Aaron did not in any way ruin anything for them.

No intelligent person could watch last night's episode and then scream abuse at Aaron while praising Jay. At the end of the show Aaron said in the DR that the public were not stupid enough to not see through Jay but sadly Aaron has overestimated the intelligence of the audience. The audience, in general, just want someone to hate, someone to blame for everything, and Aaron is the easy target when on a closer analysis he is very often correct.

[MachoPoodle]

This whole thing with refusing to see (and admit) any faults at all with Aaron is getting a bit pathetic. I can see faults in my faves, don't feel the need to justify every little thing they say and do. Aaron has a positive side as well, it's just that he seem to have a reversed perception of which of his traits are positive and which are negative.
