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?

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

[watchinittoomuch]

I cant believe people are knocking the fella for wanting to buy new legs!

This is the only time in his life probably that he'll have the chance to get his hands on 100k, why the **** wouldnt he want to make the most of it?

Christ, if I won 100k I'd get new boobs, a new stomach, get me barnett done...and I didnt have to go through any of the torture he has.

It's not a sympathy card...it's a reality card, and probably the 'best' way any of that winner's prize would get spent, if we're looking for honourable motives..

FWIW I think the winner has every right to spend the money on whatever the **** they like, it's their's.

That's the thing about being disabled. You can criticise people for their sex or for their sexual orientation or for the colour of their skin secure in the knowledge that you will never be in that position. Any one of us, or someone we love, could become disabled tomorrow - contract a disease, hit by a car, caught in some kind of tragedy... there are a million ways it could happen. I hope the people on here that have been so critical of Steve's situation never have to cope with that. But if they are unfortunate enough to be in that position, that they remember some of the things they've said about Steve.

Looks like me and you are the only one who aint paragons girl

Gah dont...I'd managed to avoid all acknowledgement then one phonecall from my friendly Scot (the ****er) and it was all over....2 minutes into the conversation and too much laughter from his end

I havent had the heart to talk to me Dad, not after the England fiasco an' all..

You are, without a doubt, the SINGLE most cynical person I have ever come across.

There is no questioning it, he needs legs doesnt he? No?

[Malza]

I just wonder, because a while ago Steve said the one he has are the best protease legs that are available on the market at the moment, so why "new" legs????

The larger of his two pegs is borrowed from an NHS trust. It is almost top of the range, with hydro pneumatic joints etc. It can even make tea or coffee.

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!

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

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.

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.

The beginning and now.

Ive caught some LF on e4 and he's been referring to it alot since Friday, which is why i think Steve's getting alot of backlash at the moment. He's done nothing! I can forgive any HM talking about the prize money and talking about winning at this late stage. But i cant ignore the arrogance Steve displays along with it. To win a show based on a disability is PC gone mad, yet it appears Steve feels entitled to reach the final and win the show based soley on a disability. I cant believe this is the same guy that looked uncomfortable in week 1 when the others were discussing giving him the money needed for his legs!

You'd have to be a pretty heartless individual to not sympathise with what Steves gone through, and i do hope he raises the money needed to buy his new legs. But that doesnt change the most irritating aspect of BB for me and many others, is having a HM thinking they should win based on hardship.

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.
