Yeah, pretty much

It's like applying for a job with a set salary and being told after you have done your job that the salary will be reduced

At least on BB5 when the prize money went down, it happened in week 1 so everyone knew the score at the start. And in BB6 a house mate - Eugene - went to the DR and collected an additional amount of money, and of course BB8 Liam was awarded the same amount by the others.

I would have preferred to see an additional prize amount £50K split, but of course that wouldn't have caused drama and C5 are cheap skates. I remember when C4 offered to buy BB2 Helen a pair of expensive shoes for her birthday (think she chose the party), now it comes out of the prize fund!

well it just goes to show swearing down on your Mums life aint worth the breath it is spoken with... the signs were there that Alex was never splitting that cash....ie the chat with Jay afterwards when she said she had no idea what she had agreed to....just as well she didnt win isnt it...:joker: its good for any future programmes where they try this as the HMs will be aware that once you are out of the house a deal is not exactly binding....

Alex was a steely game player and Jay's found out the hard way.

Rubbish, even if C5 actually cared who won (which I'm not convinced they do) they wouldn't give a s**t how much they took home, £100k is small change in the TV World, they're not going to come up with that whole twist purely out of petulance

If they wanted Jay to win they could have done it. They didn't care who won. They wanted the most ammount of money from votes and they got it. And get over Aaron carried the show for 9 weeks. There has been no topic talked about more than Jay ****ting in the freezer.

It doesn't surprise me at all, if she doesn't split at least some of it with Tom it's incredibly selfish of her imo

But they do care who wins - Jay or at worst Alex- and by denting Aaron's win they can claim a bit of a victory for Jay. Why do you think Jay pooing in freezer was completed wiped out of being mentioned when it occured and all of Aaron's best bits were confined to Twitter updates and the Facebook site :joker:

C5 care who wins as they wanted to create a dynamic young show for 14 year olds and chavs. A middle class articulate educated southerner ie Aaron does not fit the profile. Neanderthal,thick,sexist lad with a Geordie accent does. Aaron blatently knew C5 were working against him hence he was the most annoyed by the prize split. Aaron often said 'why are they against me?' and 'they'be bused people down from Newcastle to cheer Jay and boo me'. One thing Aaron isn't is stupid. As soon as Mark walked he knew the show was his to win. So the strops increased etc. More air time.

C5 were p*ssed as none of the other HMs were bringing any drama or air time (Tom and Alex being dull with their songs and needing C5 to re-do the macarana was a low point, JayLou lying in bed discussing bowl movements and the best places to poo in Britain doesn't make quality TV), Aaron sabotage failed on OKTV and BBOTs, so C5 kind of admitted defeat and spitefully cut the money. Jamie East let the cat out of the bag when he said on BBOTS the production team didn't like Aaron as he was 'rude, entitled and cocky' before he entered the house so it doesn't take Prof Brian Cox to deduce what C5's agenda was when they introduced the money split. If Jay was home and dry in winning there would have been no split. Funnily enough if Aaron had by luck picked the £30K lucky dip ticket C5 would have found a way of diddling him out of the cash.


The likes of Louise knew she had no chance of winning so didn't really give a damn and hitched her knickers on the Jay-to-win-ticket :joker:

Brian Dowling also slipped up by constantly slagging off Aaron during BB12, but after Aaron won saying 'the show would have been dull without him'.

Alex is a greedy selfish spoilt brat. Of course she was never gonna split it :joker:

Urgh I'm so bored of this argument I'm not going to go through it again, like I said even if we accept that they didn't want Aaron to win, and somehow knew he was going to before voting for the final had even opened, it's still rubbish that they'd be so bitter about that and so petty that they felt the need to come up with a twist to ensure that Aaron only gets £50k and not £100k, it's a stupid consipracy

She only owes them 1k.

Anyway, I dont really care. Once they are out of the house they can do what they like. And I cant blast her for doing something I would probabbly do myself :p The money splitting as never realistically going to work anyways :joker:

Whats it with you and Geordies?

All you bang on about is "humble geordie background".

God! why dont you just marry them!

So why did they pick him in the first place?

Big Brother actually picked him to be a housemate you know, They wanted him in the house.

He won the show so just be happy.

Oh and Brian said the show would have been dull without him on various occasions including 2 weeks before the final.

I loved Aaron as a housemate but his phsyco fans seriously made me sick of him already

Alex deserves 30p for the role she played in there.

BB picks HMs to cause drama but ensure they don't win, a bit like pace makers. Makosi, Nasty Nick (who told producers what he was going to do and yet they acted all indignant and outraged when he was caught cheating :conf:). BB always want feel -good winners.

PS you didn't like Aaron you were definitely one of the haters so don't re write history.

I would generously give her £1.22 and a complimentary spray tan kit :joker:

I think Aaron was a brilliant housemate but did not want him to win as i didnt LIKE him (i liked that he made good tv) which i have allways said.

How do you know Nick told the producers he was going to cheat?

Show me proof.

BB pick all sorts of housemates to cause drama and different situations, i really dont think it matters to them who wins. Whatever anyway we decide the winner and Aaron won fair and square by the public vote.

Just proves that BB is not a fix if you are saying they didnt want him to win but he did anyway.

Because he said it on blog.Go read.

And I am saying i think it does matter to the producers. It's called having a different opinion to you. The whole point of this blog, duh.

This isnt a blog

Its a reply on a thread :)

What a terrible waste of £30,000. Being wasted on someone that is so ****ing undeserving of it it's unreal.

Did you not see BB9 when Davina McCall was soo snidey to winner Rachel. Because Rachel had been dull (albeit very nice)Davina practically demanded Rachel hand over her winning to some of the other HMs. Ironically it was Rachel's 'enemy' Rex who told Rachel she should keep her cash. So yea, I can beleive the BB crew are bitter. Plus on BB10 there were rumours that the executives placed very large bets on Sophie Reade/Dogface winning and tried and tried to get cult popular and quirkyFreddie/Halfwit out. He eventually was evicted after quite a few weeks of being up for eviction

Jay tweeted that he split his money with Louise so they are only down by a grand....

the money shouldent have been split at all it should still be 100k

bigbrother can do what they like when they like its in the housemates contracts!,also
geting a 100k for doing nothing for nine weeks!,people on here need to get in the real world!.

Umm I think we are in the real world, we are just discussing the fact that BB changed the prize money from £100,000 to £50,000... I'm sure you would be a bit pee'd off if you had a winning lotto ticket & were expecting to win £1,000,000 & you ended up only getting £1,000... Yes BB can do what they want, but it doesn't mean it's fair or that we have to agree with it.
