What is more - Aaron coerced Jay into splitting the prize money after he got booed and Jay got cheered, so you have it all the wrong way round.

Aaron mentioned that he and Harry had spoken about sharing the prize money. It was Jay who then grabbed the opportunity to apply this to himself and Aaron. In between a garbled account of something to do with 1st and 4th places (to be honest, I couldn't make out the nonsense that Jay was saying), what I did hear was Jay deciding that he and Aaron should share the money 20/30.

A reluctant and bemused Aaron was clearly trying to work out where this was going. Jay then thrust his sausage fingers in Aaron's face, demanding "they shake on it". This Aaron foolishly did. Therefore it was Aaron who was clearly coerced into this agreement, not Jay.

Correct. Aaron was relaying a story that he and Harry had had ...it was JAY who jumped in with the comment about "Aye we could do that, I'd agree to that if ye like" OWTTE.

Aaron was put in a very awkward situation, by the ever manipulatig Jay once again.... and I'd say that Aaron felt pressured to agree - especially given Jay's verbal threats against Aaron only days before. People do what they can in such circumstances to placate the aggressor - and that is what Aaron did. Effectively: he was coerced/forced into it imo.

That's my take on the whole situ.

As for Jay being nice: as I said earlier; Jay wasn't so nice on his radio interview in which he lied about what Aaron said....... why do I say he lied? Because his later tweet then denied he had ever said anything and made out that stories were untrue: and like all liars, Jay has not got a good enough memory to recall his radio interview and the comments he made about Aaron on there.

I don't think Aaron needed to agree to it, and prior threats from Jay shouldn't have had any effect at all. However, if he watches the show back, and sees the way Jay acted about him behind his back, then I think he has the right to say that the deal is off. Or alternatively, He could say that he wants Jays £15k, as jay promised, then give him back £20k minus £500.

I understand where you are coming from and why you say that, I do. he didn't have to agree, but prior threats may still have clouded his judgement - we don't always make the best judgement when we are under pressure - regardless of which type of pressure.

Then just make your excuses and leave the situation, say you're desperate for the toilet or something. He was sitting nicely with, and chatting with Jay at the time, so I don't think "feeling threatened" is even a valid excuse.

I can't answer for Aaron, but I can give my view on it on what I my own subjective opinion is, which I have given, and provided my reasons why I have that opinion.

I'm not entirely sure what more you want me to say? If you want me to agree with you, I can't, because that's not what I believe.

We disagree on that point, that's it really.

Yeah I know it's just your opinion, as my posts are just my opinions. I don't want you to agree with me, I was just providing a counter argument as to why I don't think feeling threatened is valid.

It's OK to disagree with people, and we have a point of disagreement. No biggie.

No that would just be silly.
If he is any type of man he will stand by his agreement i think he will but time will tell.

Now, what about the fact that Jay himself stated (as has been quoted here several times), that Jay moved the nameplates and very clearly said that Aaron could have his money, that Jay did not want it.

thus, if Aaron keeps to his agreement,.... jay gets half the £50 winners prize, get's none of his allocated share that he said he didn't want.

If he is any type of man, he will stand by what HE said. I doubt he will.

I agree that he should have stood by his agreement, but I think if he watches it back first, he'll know that Jay really added to the Jemma drama unnecessarily, constantly made threats about and to Aaron at every opportunity. Belittled him whenever the chance arose, calling him "that" for example.

Jay promised his money to Aaron, if he is any kind of man, then he will also honour the agreement.

I do to a point. I don't think people should generally renege on deals that have been made. But in Aarons position, if he watched the show back before he received his money, could I understand him not giving it to Jay? I could.

Aaron gives Jay £20k
Jay gives Aaron £15k
Aaron gives Louise £5k

Everything works out as it should.

Alex gives Tom and Aaron £10k each and they all live happily ever after bitching about each other in the press.
