He didn't tell them about his mum to win, christ. He didn't even mention the money at all. OBVIOUSLY his mum being in this condition would be something to talk about, I imagine this heartbreaking thing has consumed his life for 2 years!

AND you say he should stay at home with her? For 2 years? Never to leave the house, follow his dreams, get a job, get a life? Of course he's meant to get on with his life, it doesn't mean he can't be completely destroyed by this.

And for this reason alone i hope it doesnt work out for him. There more desperate someone becomes to win, the further the British public should throw them off the pedestool! Charlie cannot win!

He hasn't mentioned his mum synonymous with winning! It just came up in conversation, as it would - since it's consumed his life. I don't think he should win either, but on the basis that he's not my favourite housemate.

I wouldn't for one moment think of saying about ANYONE "they shouldn't win because their mum is disabled, lets knock them off that pedestal".

you lot really make me sick.
what right have you got to judge him. I for one have never heard him talk about his mum being in a coma, and I certainly haven't heard him try to influence people by "going on about it".
WHY shouldn't he be in the big brother house? We are the ones who decide who wins the money, noone else. I don't vote for someone because they have a particular cause, I vote for whoever has entertained me the most. Charlie is a young lad. He comes across to me as being a little immature, and whilst I wouldn't go on the show if my mother was in hospital, each to his own. I wouldn't go on the show full stop, but that doesn't mean no one should.
Pepole are far too judgemental without knowing facts these days. How many times have YOU heard Charlie "go on" about his personal circumstances?

I just think he is a knob, who thinks he is so entertaining and thinks he is going to win.
The sooner he goes the better.

Well I have watched in from the start and the first i heard was when Iassc mentioned it - not Charlie! I would be talking about my family if i were away from them - sick or not! It is easy for people to judge when u arnt going through it yourself!

I think this thread should be deleted. It's one thing slagging a hm off but it's another when it's gets to a personal level like this has.

I don't think he does talk about it a lot. I only learnt of it when Isaac mentioned it on BBBM. And I can't imagine that he would go up to a newbie like Isaac and start randomly talking about his Mother being ill.

It's more likely that Noirin mentioned it to Isaac and then maybe isaac brought it up in conversation with Charlie.

Get him out. Can't stand him. Snake.

im appalled by the attitudes of some people,iwould hardly call it a "sob story",that is a pretty cold thing to say.you would have to be one sick **** to use someones illness to your own advantage,and i dont believe for one moment that charlie,or most people for that matter would behave that way.id not even heard about it until i read this thread,so how can it be said that he keeps going on about it.and ffs,even if he does...so what,its his mum.its so easy for people to be sanctimonious and say,well i wouldnt have even gone in the house,what is he supposed to do,sit by her bed 24/7.i went through something similar,with my dad,and i couldnt have been there all the time,it just wasnt possible.its easy to judge when you have never been in that situation.when my dad did finally pass away, someone accussed me of attempting to get sympathy,now that was sick.

He probably thinks that everytime he mentions it, its shown on the HLs.

Glad BB arent playing along with the game

If we voted for who had the worst sob story, he won win, hands down. But if we are doing this then why not just go give the hundred grand to the cancer ward at the childrens hospital and be done with it.

I didn't mean it in a bad way... just stating the obvious. Are you saying he ISN'T in there singing and dancing, playing pranks on people, sunbathing and having a laugh?

Tell you something if my ma, was in a coma. There's no way in hell i wouldn't be with her, right beside her bed every day she had left or till she was well. So ok he needs the cash, but he had a job before BB.

He told isaac about it the first night he met him.
It worked as isaac wanted him to win

A number of housemates said when they first met Charlie they thought he would win.

This was before he had a chance to tell anyone about his home circumstances.

It would have been a total bore if Charlie had not been on the programme.
I am not sure he will win but he is moving up the favourite list all the time.

HIS VILE!!

He is playing the victim card so often, that its actually summit he thinks he can use to his advantage. Its sick! i personally hope that the other housemate suss him out soon, and put him up for nomination...


I think its time charlie left the house!!

GET CHARLIE OUT!!

:hello:

Whats wrong with his mum. Ive never heard it mentioned on the show

LOL are you joking?!

Their being good and cutting it out.

Shes in a coma or dying or something like that, and he wants her to be proud by hearing his voice on tv...... that would make her go into a deeper coma!

ARE YOU KIDDING!?!


Thats his card his been using to avoid nominations since the day he entered!


His a Snake! I can see thru him, and wudnt trust him to tell me the time!


GET CHARLIE OUT!!
:yuk:

what the hell is he doing on big brother if he cares about her that much

Couldnt agree more :thumbs:

Thanks but details of illness sketchy.I imagine BBwould inform him if there was any change in her condition. Seems a strange thing for him to do nevertheless.

Quite right! Charlie was exempt from nominating anybody else,... but I got the feeling that the other housemates thought that they couldn't nominate him too. He didn't get one vote.:bawling:

This is the first I have heard of it!

I'm quite shocked, I'm not sure I'd be in the house in his position, but that said, I don't like Charlie but do not think he comes across as mentioning his family plight too often at all!
