I don't see how the money will help but at least he's not flashing it around.
(although it was enough for Isaak to step down supposedly)

Get real. Isaac stepped down because the HMs, to a man think Charlie is going to win. They have a better sense of what sort of person he is. He sees the very best in everyone. If someone 'does the dirty on him' in the house, he can react in the short term but he always sees it as a one off incident that does not change the basic goodness in that person. He processes what has happened, bounces back and supports the person who has wronged him.

He is just a downright, wholeheartedly GOOD human being and his HMs have seen that again and again. Hence there conviction that he will win.

Isaac was not going to stay any longer when he realsied he hat a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Time will tell whether the rest of the great British public see enough of the reality of Charlie's goodness that, for me, simply glows through the screen. I wish he would smile a bit more, it really lights up the house when he is in a happy mood.

I love his name too, my daughter is called Charlie and she is good and kind like he is.

She still has to be cared for and monitored by doctors and specialists. Plus of she does come out of a coma she will probably need substantial medical care

Excuse me, but in England we have a thing called The National Health Service. We DON'T pay!!!

Thank you xmynxiex
Why is he in there!?
When my mum was having chemo I couldn't stay away.
He didn't ask for any news about her, instead choosing a Happy meal from his token.
Sorry if that sounded unsympathatic

It was in the redtop newspapers before and just as the series started. His mum is in a coma, I thought most knew.

Oh right..... so a red top newspaper publishing it is how we know? So these people implying we know because Charlie is milking it in the house are talking a load of tosh!!! Thankyou.

My case proven.

Charlie

Charlie will do & say anything to win.

Don't let it happen - he is horrible.

Charlie

I don't think he is milking it myself. I've never really heard him say anything regarding his mum's situation. For all we know Isaac may have heard from another housemate and not Charlie himself.

[karezza]

Charlie makes me want to puke.
He is an evil dartsab who will say or do anything to get his dirty hands on the Ł100,000.

[Daffodil]

I wonder how many other tales of personal sadness the OTHER housemates have, but they are dignified enough to keep it confidential. It is emotional blackmail and should never have got into the public domain.

They say it will take nearly 3 years before any signs of recovery.

I appreciate him even more now, though I treat the Daily Star with extreme scepticism. He is a thoroughly upbeat character but I DO see sadness in his face sometimes and now I can understand why. He has a huge streak of empathy in him and hates to see others suffering, hence his often going to the underdog in the house (the current whipping boy of the mob) and trying to lift their spirits. The world needs more people like him.

He is open and honest about this and lets the others know that he does not approve of them attacking people like they do. I notice they try to convince him to join in, but he can't bring himnself to do so.... witness the DR incident with the towels, one amongst many cases.

Charlie

[hennessy]

I didn't think he was milking (that's why I had to start a thread to find out) and I didn't realise there was a date (didn't know you could forecast Comas) and I can't change my post now.
I still think he's a nice guy

Remember Craig? He gave his winnings to a down's syndrome relative AFTER he had won fair and square.

Funny how you can rewrite history. There was spedulative coverage of his intentions well before the end of the show!

Of course, he won the show on his own merits, just as Charlie will.

I think Charlie has been a knob all week! Everything he does now annoys me! HE CANNOT WIN!

There is the diference between us, you don't "think" there was whilst I KNOW there was.

[cleaner67]

Oh no not another sob story you hear them on all the shows nowadays where people play for the sympathy vote,don`t want it on BB.

[SoFarSoGood282]

He's bringing out the sob story now??? Attention seeking and looking for the sympathy vote......
If he loved his mother so much he'd be with her in the hospital.....not prancing around the BB house!!!

Charlie realises Craig won because he planned to give the money away.

Charlie's family would let him keep the money - he is an odious scumbag

I hope you enjoy being you! What you see in others is a reflection of yourself. You occupy a sad and rainy world.

If charlies mum iS in a coma then why an earth is he on BB? surely you would want to be there for your mum? what if she woke up? the guys unbelieveable. If my mum was in a coma i would want to spend as much time as i could with her. And not be on a reality tv show.

xmynxiex I just wanted to make a quick response on your words..as a person who along with her sister cared for an invalid parent (mother), Believe me, at 22yrs old, this time away from that stress is so beneficial to Charlie, mentally, emotionally and physically even...I'm saying this as your words "If charlies mum iS in a coma then why an earth is he on BB? surely you would want to be there for your mum? struck such a cord.

I can't view the LF so I don't know if it has been mentioned if Charlie has siblings or how involved his father is in the care of his mother...some think, Oh well she is in a coma and in the hospital, so what all does he really have to do...well in addition to having to work everyday and support himself financially......believe me..he has alot left to do...here in the states, we don't get to stay in hospital for very long....we are sent to a nursing home and if Family are not there daily to monitor the care and upkeep of their loved one, they may find their loved one suffering in so many ways...clean bedding/clean gowns/given medication properly and at correct times/being fed...the meetings with Doctors and Nursing staff etc etc etc...it's incredibly draining...and these few months may be the most carefree time Charlie has in the next 3/4/5 how many more Years...so please don't begrudge him this...he's trying to earn money for himself naturally, but also for the care and welfare of his mother.

I for one, will spare him a little sympathy and hope that even if he doesn't win the money, he has had a few months of peace and fun away from what awaits him when he steps out those doors and carries on with the rest of his lfe.

Sorry for the rant--but I needed to get that out.
