Or not, considering as you said he didn't go to uni so doesn't have a student debt.

He was rightly pointing out the lame excuse used by Cristian who would get more respect if he just said "I really wanted 23k, you'd be mad not to".

Considering he's on BB and made such lame comments about CBB I think he desperately wants it to be his job. He wants fame.

It's not lame at all, he's being honest and telling the other housemates what he would do with the money.

I think you mean "at least he made an effort to appear happy for Jack" and i agree, that was noble of him. Might have something to do with the upcoming final coming up but i have respect for him choosing not to make a big deal over something he was obviously upset about.

I think he was genuinely happy for him. Jack is his friend.

He was never going to spend all that money on paying back a loan that he is in no rush to pay off at all.

He'd do what most people would do. Buy a car or put it towards a deposit on a house or splash out on a huge holiday etc etc.

Or actually in Cristian's case, I suppose use it to fund his attempt at a rap career.

I dont think anybody would be genuinely happy for somebody that they lost 23k to by a split second lol. He just appeared happy, which is admirable.

Maybe not in that second, but afterwards yes.

He wouldn't, though. Why on earth would an unemployed man spend £22k of £23k on a loan he doesn't have to pay back until he's earning £21k p/a? It makes no sense and nobody would do that. He was using it as an excuse to justify him pressing the button - rather than just being honest and saying 'yeah I pressed it because I want the money'

He's never had student debt, who is he to say that ?

It just seems wrong coming from him. I'm sure he wouldn't understand it though.

It's like someone complaining about discrimination and Danny saying oh yeah but all ethnic minorities get that, not a big deal pal.

:clap1:

No it isn't like that, at all. This is like arguing with a brick wall.

Not a sob story

I agree, unless you've had student debt you don't understand it first-hand.

Not ever! He'll be 50 and he'll remember the moment that he lost 23k by being a quarter of a second too slow. But he appeared happy for Jack, even though he never will be genuinely happy deep down. And thats a good thing.

What sob story ?

Ive experienced said debt (actually im deeper than 22k, still trying to work out why his is cheaper than mine) but i can assure you, its very similar to absolutely no debt at all. Im very confused why he would bring it up but Marsh and Hannah's theories sound about right.

He didn't look bitter at all. The only one who was fuming was Chloe. She wanted the money, but didn't want to look bad.

I agree he would not replay the loan if he grabbed that money.

It would go towards some new designer clobber and a few hours in a recording studio to push out another flop single and probably blow the rest on a holiday and nights out trying to get in the tabloids

Yet she didn't press the button a few seconds too late, Cristian did.

You could say that about literally anything, and it isn't true.

Being in 22k debt that you're under no pressure to pay off is hardly a 'walk in their shoes before commenting' situation.

Additionally, as it's funded by tax payers, this means that ANY TAXPAYER is allowed to have an opinion on it. Although tbh I don't really think you understand how it works.

Danny is a twat to everyone.

AND he's doing really well with his degree, isn't he. That's my taxes well spent; well done Cristian!

Yaas Amy, finally we agree. It's only taken 60 odd days :unsure:

Rewatch the moment he worked out he lost it, he was genuinely mortified. I agree that Chloe was fuming about it and Cristian wasnt. But that just shows that Chloe says what she feels and considered Jacks emotions less, whilst Cristian considered Jacks opinions more but only says what he thinks the audience wants to hear.

I've had student debt too, covered it it no time and have more than I could have ever hoped for.

But looking back I can see how important it would be to Cristian and give him respect for seeing it as a priority before going on a spending spree. No need for Danny's two cents when he's never been in that position himself.

I have. So do. :hee:

But he wouldn't have spent it on that

But Cristian and Jack have always been friends. Jack saved him from eviction and he won't forget that. That's why i think he was happy for him.

Did you feel under a lot of pressure to repay the loan? If so, I think you're the first and only person to do so and you should turn it into a novel because nobody else ever will.

Slay ha

Yeah it really isn't the same, there's no pressure to pay it off at all. And, depending on when he studied, if he hasn't got a job, he hasn't got to worry about paying it back atm lmao

Weak comeback pal :joker:

I'm really surprised he even remembered it exists tbh. Even if I was trying to come up with a sob story for why I deserved 24k I would never remember my student loan :laugh:

No really, that happens when I'm in the car park smiling.

Err that's a bit hypocritical

Genuine question though. Did you feel under pressure to pay the loan back, did you bring it up a lot to other people in social situations as if its a weight on your shoulders? I think most people saw through Cristian's bull****, I'm wondering why you didn't?

I felt it was a priority and didn't hide the fact when speaking to people in the same situation. Cristian didn't just randomly bring it up, it was relevant to what had just happened.

Hannah try and keep up will you.

I don't even think you saw the same episode as everyone else.
