Looked reluctant to share the prize money

[In the Drunk Tank]

It seemed that she was a bit hesitant to stick to the deal to share the money. When Emma asked them all you had Jay going: "Way aye, a deals a deal" straight away but Alex didn't seem to want to answer until she gave a half hearted "yeah hon", I'm not sure if the question confused her somehow, or whether she was just a bit slow or whatever, but she didn't seem all that keen to me

[Roy Mars III]

Yeah, she looked like she didn't know how to answer. Jay, once again, showing that he is good guy there as well.

[Beastie]

I don't think so either. Personally I think Jay, Alex, Louise and Tom should just **** Aaron over with the money! :hugesmile:

Anywho I am sure we will soon find out. lol

[ChristmasNeeve]

I thought that she'd be more hesitant than anyone, I liked her but I reckon she's fake as ****. Luckily Aaron won 50k anyway, Tom is the only one who needs to worry :laugh:

[Bollo]

Yeah she did look a bit uncomfortable and like she didn't really want to commit to anything. But at least Aaron got the £50,000

[sam69.]

didnt jay and aaron agree to split the 50k

[flamingGalah!]

They should still share the money out, even with Aaron, they all agreed...

[In the Drunk Tank]

didnt jay and aaron agree to split the 50k

Yeah I'm wondering if that's actually gonna happen, was no mention of it in any of the interviews or on BOTS

[ChristmasNeeve]

didnt jay and aaron agree to split the 50k

When?

[ChristmasNeeve]

Yeah I'm wondering if that's actually gonna happen, was no mention of it in any of the interviews or on BOTS

If they show it on the next HLs I'll believe it :idc:

[sam69.]

In the gsrden they agreed that if they were the last 2 they would split the 50k 50/50 no matter who won.

[karezza]

When?

There's a clip on the C5 website.

[Beastie]

Personally Jay and Aaron should split their share.
Alex and Tom should split their share.

Aaron should keep his 50 grand.

[In the Drunk Tank]

If they show it on the next HLs I'll believe it :idc:

Cop out :nono:

[Jords]

Pretty sure she'll give something to Tom.

Aaron has 50k
Jay and Lou have 19k

Theyre good :laugh:

[ChristmasNeeve]

Cop out :nono:

;)

[Jords]

Personally Jay and Aaron should split their share.
Alex and Tom should split their share.

Aaron should keep his 50 grand.

Aaron won £990 and Tom won £10?

[Blink_Me]

If they show it on the next HLs I'll believe it :idc:

:joker:

[Rustic bauble]

Yeah....split the 50,000 4 ways and let Aaron keep his 50,000.

[King Gizzard]

I respect Tom because he got the least amount of money, and he has no chance of getting any work from BB and probably has the most dead end job out of all of them

[sam69.]

Jay gets the same as aaron now. they both walk away with 35k each if alex does her split the right way. Lets now see if aaron is the honest one, somehow I dont think he will be.

[Beastie]

Aaron won £990 and Tom won £10?

Yes. Louise and Jay can share their 19 grand together.

Alex and Tom can share their 30,010 together! lol

Might as well do it this way. I mean after the show I doubt the final 5 will all want to see each other.

Tom and Alex will remain friends. Jay and Louise will be a couple for a bit.

[Jords]

Oh right yes I agree :D

[The Human Santapede]

Yeah the only one to suffer is Tom. The rest all have a good sum of money.

[Beastie]

Oh right yes I agree :D

:worship:

[karezza]

Aaron should have it all.

[jet]

didnt jay and aaron agree to split the 50k

They agreed, and shook hands on it. I respect Jay so much for not bringing that up when they talked about the sharing of money on BOTS. He could have said it to make sure everyone was aware that didn't see their agreement but he didn't.
I guess he thinks Aaron will keep to his word...

[Pyramid*]

Yeah....split the 50,000 4 ways and let Aaron keep his 50,000.

:nono:

They all agreed on their mothers' lives....... so Aaron should get his additional £10k that they all swore on.

[fingers]

Aaron should have it all.

Yeah make them all give their share to Aaron and make Alex and Tom cough up the £500 they got as presents! :elephant:

[Pyramid*]

Given the amount of times he called Aaron a liar and a gameplayer: maybe this would be the ideal time for Aaron to prove Jay right in what Jay thought of him. ;)

[jet]

Aaron should have it all.

Aaron and Jay mutually agreed to split the money whoever won. They shook hands on that. Are you saying that Aaron should now back out of that agreement? :shocked:

[fingers]

:nono:

They all agreed on their mothers' lives....... so Aaron should get his additional £10k that they all swore on.

Don't forget he OWES Jay £25K! lol :dance:

[Pyramid*]

Don't forget he OWES Jay £25K! lol :dance:

See 3 posts before this one.... post 30. ;)

[Brother Leon]

I found it funny Aaron had a face like "Don't **** me over pleease" even though he had won 50k. Almost like the boos made him feel vulnerable and that being let down by them was the last thing he needed.

[fingers]

See 3 posts before this one.... post 30. ;)

He was merely telling him the truth, He was a LIAR and A gameplayer.

[Pyramid*]

I found it funny Aaron had a face like "Don't **** me over pleease" even though he had won 50k. Almost like the boos made him feel vulnerable and that being let down by them was the last thing he needed.

You really need to let it go.

Anton didn't win..... Aaron did. :D

[Pyramid*]

He was merely telling him the truth, He was a LIAR and A gameplayer.

Let Jay thinks what he wants to think: and let Aaron prove to Jay that if that's what Jay believes, and wants to believe: well, who are we to spoil the fun.

:D

[fingers]

You really need to let it go.

Anton didn't win..... Aaron did. :D

bet he does a runner!
:hugesmile:

[Brother Leon]

You really need to let it go.

Anton didn't win..... Aaron did. :D

Let what go?

What are you on?:conf:

I know he won and I congratulated you Aaron fans already...my post was positive towards him if anything...........................I would of been pretty stupid to go into today thinking Anton was gonna win huh?

[In the Drunk Tank]

I found it funny Aaron had a face like "Don't **** me over pleease" even though he had won 50k. Almost like the boos made him feel vulnerable and that being let down by them was the last thing he needed.

He did look worried yeah, making sure they knew that "a deals a deal" :laugh:

You really need to let it go.

Anton didn't win..... Aaron did. :D

Funny how you were the one to mention Anton not him :p

[jet]

Given the amount of times he called Aaron a liar and a gameplayer: maybe this would be the ideal time for Aaron to prove Jay right in what Jay thought of him. ;)

Or the ideal time for all of us non - Aaron fans to prove WE were right?
You conveniently forget that Aaron called everyone in the house a gameplayer except HIM. You conveniently forget that Harry and his best friend called Aaron a gameplayer,
A deal is a deal. An agreement with a handshake is a whole different ballgame - game playing aside.

[fingers]

Next time, if there IS a next time they should make the tasks worth £5,000 a time and each one who completes his task gets to keep that money - even when evicted!

[Brother Leon]

The vid of Jay & Aaron agreeing by the way.

split 20k/30k.
Jay - 30K in the end
Aaron - 40k in the end
Jay will leave the show with 30k...looks like he is taking his Geordie boys,Anton & Aden to Vegas after all:dance:

[Pyramid*]

Funny how you were the one to mention Anton not him :p

and the signature as well as the message above the avatar is a figment of my imagination (as well as the fm's clear hatred of Aaron) !! :flowers:

Well I say. It's a whole different ball game now.

[WCR1942]

After watching Alex for 10 weeks being a bit slow to catch on to things you are surprised that in a noisy studio she hesitates when Emma suddenly asks her a question.

[jet]

Well I say. It's a whole different ball game now.

A deal is a deal ;)


Yep! Aaron said nothing about this in his interview. This is a crucial issue.

[Rustic bauble]

All these agreements are pathetic.... its not fair people are put on the spot.
Why should Jay suggest they split the winnings???? He knew he wasnt going to win....
Hope Aaron just keeps it all and leaves the others to fight over the other 50,000...oops sorry 49,000!!!

[psychtracker]

Yeah, if Aaron now backs out of the Jay deal, the Alex deal would likely breakdown as well. The plot thickens...

Did u watch the vid? seems more like Aaron was prompting the deal, saying that him & Harry were going to split if they made the final..

I think Aaron is adamant to get the other 10 grand eventhough his and Jay's "deal" has happened.

[psychtracker]

I wish Emma mentioned the Aaron/Jay deal..

[Bluerang1]

Louise needs nothing. Aaron has loads. Jay has a fair amount. I guess she gives Louise 5K, Jay gives her 5K also. Then Alex gives Tom 10K. Give Araon nothing!

[alex_front2]

Last night on BBOTs it seemed like she pretended not to hear Emma when she asked about splitting the £30K. I think it was Tom or Louise who had to embarrassingly had to nudge her to say 'yes'. Yesterday on OK!TV BB and Tom tried to make out Aaron would go back on the deal and then spin Alex as an 'honest Joe' who would split the money despite the fact she is the LEAST honest housemate when it comes to money ie short-changing a blind woman. :joker:

[Dokes]

She robbed a blind woman. I wouldn't trust her with my 30k, that's for sure.

Having said that, i do like Alex.

[Jordan.]

I think she'll give 10k to Tom. Hopefully none to the rest.

[alex_front2]

I think she'll give 10k to Tom. Hopefully none to the rest.

Yea, she'll need it when she is reduced to getting her nipples out in a smokey strip joint in somewhere like Middlesboro.

[Jords]

I think she'll give 10k to Tom. Hopefully none to the rest.

This. Thats what Id do anyway.

[Razor]

She doesn't want to split the cash.

[alex_front2]

She doesn't want to split the cash.

That is obvious and she'll get away with it as


she's only 19
plays the sweet bimbo card
she's working class
she's not Aaron

[Razor]

I hope she doesn't, that would be bang out of order. Every time the topic of splitting the cash came up Alex played deaf and dumb. It was so noticeable.

[angbobs]

Whooa don't be slating off Middlesbrough

[Jack_]

I think she'll split it with Tom but not the rest. It's a shame, because she really doesn't deserve £30,000 for doing absolutely **** all.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Aaron has the priceless title & Won BB so idc LOL.

[MaratSafinForever]

She shouldn't split the money and neither should Aaron.

Wtf do Jay and Louise deserve any of the money?

If I were Alex, I'd give Tom some but none of the others.

[Suze]

Aaron has the priceless title & Won BB so idc LOL.

This ^ :)

Those who go back on the deal no matter what they have are the ones who will look bad, and it won't be Aaron or Jay by the looks of it :D :)

[alex_front2]

Pretty sure she'll give something to Tom.

Aaron has 50k
Jay and Lou have 19k

Theyre good :laugh:

So what. Alex made a deal, deal's a deal.

Even if a multi billionaire won BB I'd still expect Alex to share the money.

[alex_front2]

So what. Alex made a deal, deal's a deal.

Even if a multi billionaire won BB I'd still expect Alex to share the money.

I'd love for Aaron not to share his winning with Jay and Alex not to share hers at all. That would be the best outcome for me. :hugesmile:

That way Aaron would have £50,990 and Alex would have £30,000.

[Jords]

So what. Alex made a deal, deal's a deal.

Even if a multi billionaire won BB I'd still expect Alex to share the money.

No you wouldnt its only because its Alex youre being awkward :)

[cell]

For what all the viewers think no one can make them do anything with the cash that they already received. It is up to them to sit down (with a lawyer would be smart) and sort it out. I honestly don't care what they do with their money as it doesn't effect me as a viewer in any way. I just hope they are all happy with their final decisions.

[alex_front2]

No you wouldnt its only because its Alex youre being awkward :)

I would share. I am working class and on a not bad income, but I hate it when working class/ poor people try and play that card or try and get special treatment on reality shows just becuase they have less money.

If I made a £20 bet with billionaire Roman Abromovic and lost I'd give him the money. Alex should pay up. People would harrass Aaron if he had been the one with £30.

[alex_front2]

Is it me or did Aaron look so different on his exit than he did when he entered the house. He actually looked like a different person.

[Claymores]

By the same token, Aaron is the one holding the winner's £50k which he made a separate agreement to split 30/20 with Jay. I think you'd be wiser to bite your tongue and wait n see if your Lord God Master of Virtue coughs-up before you start slinging aspertions around about Alex's character.

[slickster24]

She didnt want to share from the moment she picked it out the bag. You could see she was pissed off.

People who thinks shes innocent, jeez, shes a ****ing slag and tried to play everyone with lies.

[connie]

I've just watch again and i could hear a deal about the 50-50 between Aaron and Jay, or is someone stirring to make Aaron look bad. If Aaron went back on a deal Like Alex made all hell would let loose. It's only money here today gone tomorrow.

[Claymores]

Wasn't on TV, but a clip was up yesterday wherein Aaron & Jay made a further agreement that if they were the last two, then they would split the winner's £50k with the winner taking £30k and 2nd £20k.

This is why I have been suggesting to Aaronites that they'd be better to bite their tongues until he coughs-up before casting too many aspersions on Alex's character/integrity.

[Jules2]

Yeah, she looked like she didn't know how to answer. Jay, once again, showing that he is good guy there as well.

Hi if Jay and Aaron had previously agreed that they would share the money then Jay had to answer in the positive because otherwise had he said no then that would have let Aaron off from sharing the 50 with him. He stands to come out of it well with 30 less 500 pounds for the present. Aaron stands to come out of it with 40 if everything is done fairly. Alex was taken by surprise tbh I wonder if she has been told that the lads are going to share the 500? It will remain to be seen if everything is done fairly. As all things were done for the public eye I would think that each one will honour the deal.

As Aaron had the cash in the case I would think that he settled things with Jay before the weekend is out. Now Jay should take the 20 less the 4 which he had extra to the 10 which was the original agreement. Thus Aaron will still have about 5010 still to come to him from Alex. Beforehand I felt that Jay and Louise would share the amounts between them, I wonder if they still did. If not everything comes back to Alex. As I have said as it was made on tv I am certain that each one will honour the agreements. I have voted for Aaron but I have faith in all of them to be fair.

[WCR1942]

"As Aaron had the cash in the case I would think that he settled things with Jay before the weekend is out. "
Very doubtful.
Ch 5 security would have removed the cash from Aaron before he left the building and any payments would have been by bank electronic transfer.

Admittedly, the following quote comes from the Daily Star, so the reliability of the reporting may be a bit suspect:

"Last night Aaron vowed to spend the £50,000 prize on his son".

Who knows if any of them will welch on agreements!!!

[Cherry Christmas]

I find it really surprising that Brian, Emma and now the DS reporter didnt ask Aaron about sharing the cash? Emma had the perfect opportunity on BOTS when she asked Alex, why didnt she ask the same question of Aaron? I think he is going to share it...

I did see that but I do feel that he will honour the agreements first. He is one who wont like to be known as anything else but honest and honourable. Some are saying not to decry Alex but it cuts both ways, Aaron, Alex and Jay are now in the firing line for holding up their agreements.

The Star could have just put 50 as that was the total of the prize money.

I agree that it would be wrong to treat what the DS publish as the 'truth' heehee! :wink:

I've no reason to question Aaron's integrity..........I just posted yesterday that some Aaronites might be better to 'hang fire' on their Alex criticisms whilst their own lad had yet to fulfill his promise.

[Cherry Christmas]

True, its quite something though to overlook!

[Ammi]

Does anyone really care..other than the H.M's themselves..it doesn't change what we liked/disliked about them in the house or the outcome of the show

[Kazelle]

Alex wouldn't have had the 30k if the others hadn't agreed to the deal. She should think herself lucky to have 10k and stick to the deal.
Other runners up have had nothing, so surely 10k is a bonus and if she doesn't share it as they agreed, then no matter her age, ditziness or pretending to not understand will hold any water. If she doesn't stick to it after thousands have seen it on tv, then she'll be bound to suffer in the future.

Just do yourself a favour Alex ,be thankful you haven't walked away with nothing and give it up with a smile.

[Tom]

I thought that she'd be more hesitant than anyone, I liked her but I reckon she's fake as ****. Luckily Aaron won 50k anyway, Tom is the only one who needs to worry :laugh:

If Jay gave Louise about £4k then they'd more or less have £10k each

Aaron won't miss his £10k now he's got £50k

Alex will give Tom some money most probably

If I won £30k, I wouldn't give it to some people I've not known that long and/or like that much. Its her money, shes probably never going to see those people again

[joeysteele]

Personally Jay and Aaron should split their share.
Alex and Tom should split their share.

Aaron should keep his 50 grand.

Louise needs a cut as well though,I agree Aaron should keep his 50k for winning and the remaining £50,000 (minus Jay's and Louise's gifts for Tom and Alex), be split the other 4 ways.

I'd never have agreed to split the 50k winnings with any other housemate,especially when everyone was in line to get a good few thousand anyway.

[InOne]

See, I hadn't even heard of her, but I've googled and know who she is now....I feel so old..............anyways, moving on.........she's gorgeous so....:thumbs:

[alex_front2]

Alex won't split the money - not even with 'new BBBFF' Tom. £30K is her big pay day.

She is simply too dull to get mag deals ala Josie/ Helen BB2 and not wanting to be cruel not good looking enough to get lucrative glamour modelling work Sophie Reade BB10. She might get a Nuts mag shoot a la Corin last year, but she'll only get it if Faye, Louise, Tashie, Maisy, Jem, Rebeckah turn it down.

Most men simply don't find her attractive. Tim Westwood was cruel when he said something like 'Alex is unfortunate BB is now in HD' But it was true.

:tongue:

[Jules2]

Yeah, if Aaron now backs out of the Jay deal, the Alex deal would likely breakdown as well. The plot thickens...

Ah but I think that Aaron should wait and see what the others are doing first as if he just hands over the 20 to Jay then Jay will have more money than Aaron. We have to remember that Jay has 14 less the 500 pounds if he gets another 20 then he has more. If they are going to do it then it needs to be thought out by all of them. I wont blame Aaron if he just hangs on. The ball is really in Alex and Jay's court to fulfil the first deal.

[Jules2]

They agreed, and shook hands on it. I respect Jay so much for not bringing that up when they talked about the sharing of money on BOTS. He could have said it to make sure everyone was aware that didn't see their agreement but he didn't.
I guess he thinks Aaron will keep to his word...

Did he bring up the fact that he has to share his money as well? Everything depends on the first agreement imo. Jay is one for trying to make himself look good, too late now though.

[Kazelle]

They most likely have it all sorted out as to what's going to happen. I'm sure they'll have had some discussion at the wrap party. They aren't going to leak everything in fact I'll bet we don't find out until it's all done and dusted.

[Jules2]

"As Aaron had the cash in the case I would think that he settled things with Jay before the weekend is out. "

Yes I appreciate that now, I have since learnt that the HMs did not have the money. It seemed rather a strange thing to do tbh as it could have got lost. It has always been through the transfer means before so far as I know.
