No need to shout duck at you then. :rolleyes:

Its abit too late to go for the sympathy vote! He said what he needed the money for TWICE in that conversation with Corin and Mario, yeah we heard you the first time Steve!

The fact remains he doesnt deserve to win, and constantly mentioning why he "needs" the money isnt going to work on the voting public since he hasnt entertained at all!

I dont know what i dislike more, how entitled he thinks he is to the money just because he's got a physical disability. Or how he thinks he'll walk the finall, again because he's disabled. Try ENTERTAINING!

That whole thing about buying Steve new legs was instigated and only said by Rachel...Sunshine and Josie....the rest stayed quiet... or was it Shabby???
I think its a shame the government dont buy him new legs.... Steve should keep quiet and stop going on cos he is playing the sympathy card.
As much as I think he should have new legs...he does not deserve to win BB.

ER....he actually mentioned it in the first week. duh.

And there is nothing i dislike more than when people post so called "quotes" that havent been said, like:

constantly mentioning why he "needs" the money
how entitled he thinks he is to the money
how he thinks he'll walk the final

No one is saying Steve deserves the sympathy vote....I do question the right of FMs to say he doesnt really need new legs and insinuate the legs are part of a game plan.


He needs the ****ing legs, BB or no BB!

He been bitching about them one by one - Corin being his next target but now he knows theres not long to go he's had to accelerate and tackle two or three at a time. He better be careful cos he's not known for his bravery and if he gets caught out he wont be able to shout them all down like he did when Sam caught him out.

Corin also backed Scabby when she said it,but shes shut up since ,she never said tonight "If i win I will buy you a leg" did she ?

He wasnt "going on" about it....he was in a discussion with others where what they were going to do with the money if they won came up and he said "buy new legs and pay off my morgage"

Hes wearing one now ???

God yeah, she didn't opened her gob at all, did she? And she was one of the ones yapping on about how they should all do it at the time, right?

He can whisper all he likes....the people who count will decide.

Yes she was ,but tonight ,even after telling him she wasnt interested in the money ,and he hinted at his legs ,she still kept schtum !!

Exactly and they said that from the beginning. So lets see who the faker is.

They are spending the 100K as if Josie has already won it. JJ1 will of course know that the House did that with Rachel Rice telling her before she got the cheque how much she should give to charity. Only Rex was decent and stepped in and told her no, when it got to her agreeing to give £20.000 away
I would love to know how much, Luke, Bex, Dale Jen etc gave to charity from their earnings

The only thing i put in quotes was "needs" and YES he did say he "needs" the money for them! The rest was my opinion, if you disagree, fair enough.

And yah i know he mentioned it in the first week, that was my point. Steve hasnt mentioned it since week 1 and now since learning the final was so close, he's bring it up and chosing to play the sympathy card daily and its a little too late. I have a heart and can see he needs the money more than the others, but he doesnt deserve to win the show. He hasnt entertained at all. Besides this need to constantly illustrate why he needs the money to the other HMs wont help his cause either. No one is listening to Steve anymore.

It's borrowed.

You said he mentioned it in the first week and that he hadn't mentioned it again until he knew the final was close. Then you say he "constantly illustrates why he needs the money to other housemates". So... which is it? He mentioned it at the beginning and now, or he constantly mentions it? Because I've only heard him mention it twice. That is not "constantly".

I don't think he's been the most entertaining housemate and I don't think he really deserves to win. But all this hysteria because he mentioned he'd pay off his mortgage and buy new legs, in a conversation where the others were also talking about what they'd spend the money on, is madness.

It gets better and better, doesn't it?

And as Shasown has pointed out (jeez im getting tired of repeating stuff) it is owned by the NHStrust and he has to give it back.

My post was to someone who asked why he didnt get it on the NHS....well you probably can but they would be basic ones. WTF cant he want to have the best there is and to pay for it himself if he was fortunate to have that kind of dough?
I find it kind of pathetic that people are questioning his right to be on BB as he is disabled, and to be able to buy some new fecking legs if he wins?

I'm sure will get PLENTY of dosh to get his legs if that is what he wants either from magazine deals, selling his story to the Sun or even writing a book.
but even if he got the prize at the end of BB I don't think he would get them and pay for them from that chunk, I got the feeling he would use it for his family etc.

What I can't understand is Steve has spent 4 grand on tattoos and is planning to get more and goes to the carribean every year.
Why has'nt he saved up that money for his legs.

and STILL she could easily win this ...sick isnt it ?

Maybe he and his family think they should have some quality of life aswell?

New legs are thousands...that's alot of 'going without' for him and his kids for a very long time...

Mikey couldnt do much as he was blind but he was at least entertaining and had a personality. His character more than made up for him being unable to see.
He was loads of fun to watch and had a wicked sense of humour....Steves attempt at comedy was to say 'I need a p***....open your mouth rachel' horrible man who is getting my vote on friday.

No one is saying he cannot buy his own IF he won the money ,but what I am saying is he should not win a popularity show just because of this as he thinks he should ,I am sure the leg he has "borrowed" is long term and as someone pointed out earlier ALL false limbs are made for your own particial needs so the leg he has borrowed MUST be his or if not,long term as it MUST have been made to fit his stumps

Correct
