Yep, he definately said this for the sympathy vote, I dont think he shpuld win on that reason. He will get his legs anyway whether he wins or not, Some kind person will pay for them.

I suspect he would end up just drinking the prizefund and ending up legless.

He's in the Big Brother House. The producers must be thinking the same as us.
No Legs+One Eye+ No Personality= One boring housemate.

Regardless of the 'sacrifice' he made in the army.

[Jase.]

That made me LOL.

[Jack_]

Completely pointless housemate - along with Mario.

Both totally undeserving as well, regardless of 'how much they need the money'. What a laughable excuse for a dull winner.

why did you put him in there bb? if he at least had a personality we could get behind we would easily want him to win but he's done nothing

The winning housemates are buying them so they said.

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 Ł20.000 away
I would love to know how much, Luke, Bex, Dale Jen etc gave to charity from their earnings

I would imagine having no legs is a pretty big part of your life to be honest. Obviously he talks about it.

yeah i know but i get the impression he feels he might win or deserve to win because of it,,, might just be editing or me just getting it wrong

[AtomicKitty]

I'm assuming you meant to say "8 KIDS and RECEIVING benefits". Hard to tell what you're actually trying to say. If you want to join the hysterical "he's on benefits and has eight kids" bandwagon, there are enough threads about it. I'm not even going to go into the whole "he has a MILITARY PENSION" argument because I'm sick of saying it, frankly.

Ditto this....jeez if there's 1 thread about Steve the scrounger....there's a million.

Yep that is Exactly what I mean... I feel sorry for the man, wish him the best in getting his legs, but BB is not a charity show. he has not done his job as a housemate so he is not deserving of the reward, plain and simple.
he is simply not deserving of that chunk of cheddar on the bases of his misfortunes... there are a lot of people that have horrible things happen to them as well and I think that having 8 kids.. yeah 8 kids in this day and age on the back of the tax payers is a bit of taking the piss...
horrible what happened to him but enough with the freebies for him.

So could you explain to me and the rest of the forum what benefits you know for a fact he receives?

Hooray. Is that your last word on the matter then, since you're sick of it?

I'm sure some kind benefactor will buy Stevo some legs without him having to win a Big Brother.

He should have known he would have to work hard for votes. This includes being interesting and entertaining to the viewers. Not lazy and creepy.

No, it's not my last word on it. This is a forum, isn't it? For discussion... at least that's my understanding. What's your understanding of the word FORUM? In any case, I wasn't even replying to you, was I. But anyhoo, thanks for the slightly obsessive interest in my posts.

For the record, I don't think Steve should win. I'm was just amazed that a throw away comment, when everyone else was talking about what they'd spend the money on, should throw up so much poison. Speaks volumes.

Partly correct and mostly wrong ^

In fact, no, you do not have to work hard for votes even we did use your bizarre definition.
In fact the first thing that must be done is to 'not' become nominated by enough fellow Housemates.
This may be done (partly) by working hard during group tasks.
This part of winning BB can be done by 'working hard' to earn the trust of fellow HMs and be useful to them.
Steve actually has been doing that and your opinion or that of viewers doesn't have anything to do with this part.

The next thing here IS winning viewers but 'being entertaining to viewers' is only a part of it. (and not even necessarily part of it).

You can win viewers by showing them you will NOT become easily upset, stay positive, handle the stress and psychological pressure.
Now one could argue that is 'entertaining' if you are the viewer who finds that interesting and approves of seeing such a thing.
(example, I like seeing Steve behave in that way).

Another way to win is to 'work hard' at NOT being a dick, highly objectionable or at least 'not as much' as one other person nominated.
This is where the audience may approve of someone being less 'negatively interesting'.
Or you can even say not 'entertaining too much'

You can also win those votes by being 'identifiable' or you may do so by appealing to a specific but loyal demographic of voters (quality over quantity you may say).

Another problem is you have a possible contradiction when you suggest 'lazy and creepy' is the 'opposite' to being entertaining and interesting.
Not necessarily and both can be true.
For example - many people agreed that BB9s Mo Mohammad's laziness was entertaining and interesting.
It was often featured on Highlights and some of us found it hilarious and wanted to reward him with a longer stay.

'Creepy' could be quite interesting. In some cases 'creepy' may even be rewarded by viewers depending on who it's directed at. A hip-hop streetster with a comical attitude may earn votes making 'creepy' comments towards a highly unpopular HM.
They can 'work hard' to get the votes.

But BB is interesting in that the winner is exactly who deserves to win. Each time. Every time.
It is 'self-defining' in its very happening.
Rachel Rice can be said to 'deserve the win' because, in fact, everything she did was EXACTLY what (as proven) was required to win in that season.
The Winners very existence as winner is the 'proof positive' that WAS how to win.

Anyways.. that should hopefully clear up a few of your misunderstandings and misconceptions.

Ben = MI6! LOL

As for Steve and wanting to buy legs if he won.. WHO CARES... wouldn't you want to buy legs if you were him?? I think yes.. so shut up and leave him alone on that basis at least.

[Kaaarenn!]

He's said he'd do that with the money before now so people voting already knew.

[muchadoaboutnothing]

A Steve is a disabled person I don't understand why the legs are not free or even that the Army don't pay for them. Steve siad this to try and get a sympathy vote. Forget it Steve, hopefully you will be next out and then ask the NHs for new legs.

Because the ones he wants are the Rolls Royce of prosthetics i guess and not allowed.

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?
