Default People say £500 is too much as a present, but are ok with Alex sharing her winnings
Again, always with the double standards.

Aaron won't spend £500 on a present for the girl, but he will happily take £9000 or whatever of the money she has already won.

She is giving away FAR more then when the presents cost.

You would think a normal adult would say...'hey, you don't have to share your winnings with me, I am grateful you are, have a nice present for your birthday to say thank you'.

But no...

After watching this back I think Alex is actually justified in saying '**** you jack' to him. She won't, but I would understand if she did and just looked after her friends.

He is such a douche.

Yes, she did agree to be generous with the group if she won.

Pity some in the group don't have the decency to be generous back.

Any of them would've been generous though. The present thing can't be compared.

Rubbish. The girl is giving away 20k of the money she has won.

Some people would be grateful for that gesture.

If a person had agreed to do that I definitely would buy them a decent B'day present as a thank you.

As I said before, whoever won it would've done the same, cos they all agreed.

The 30k is not hers. She didn't win it. They agreed the money would be divided equally BEFORE they dipped in the hat. She isn't being generous at all no more than Jay is for handing over 5k of the 15k in his bank account.
Generosity doesn't come into it.

Tom can do what he wants... The thread is about Alex and the pathetic ingratitude of Aaron.

Why twist things? They all agreed to share the money equally before they even found out the amounts they were getting

They all agreed to be generous if they won the 30K. Don't try and single her out as some kind of saint, coz it's NOT the case, your argument is flawed.

No, the rationalistion for not being grateful for someone giving their money, because it legally is her money, away is flawed.

Whoever won the 30k and still agreed to share it would deserve gratitude.

Yeah, but she hasn't even had the chance to keep up her end of the bargain yet. We don't know 100% if she will share it out. Plus, the present money was deducted from Jay & Louise's funds, NOT her's.

I'm co-signing this. They all agreed to share beforehand. Alex didn't just win and now they want to share.

No, it is her money. It is being paid in her bank account. She won it.

Buying her a £500 present to say thankyou for sharing seems right.

Saying you don't want to spend money on her is churlish, ungrateful, and pathetic.

Had they not agreed to share it out equally, and subsequently decide who gets what amount via a lucky dip, she may not have got the 30K. They may have used some other method to decide and she might have ended up with the tenner.

By all means have a go at Aaron if you don't like him, but make your gripes reasonable and logical instead of grasping at straws like this.

None of them knew how the money was going to be split when the agreed to share, so she could just as well have got 10 quid.

NO!!...I've always hated it when the prize money is interfered with!

The winner has earned every penny of it....Afterall, £100,000. spread over 24 hours per day for 10 weeks solid is not even a very generous prize imo!

They could get ten times that much for about a half hours stint on Chris Tarrant's show!
