Has it been confirmed that they have actually been awarded the prize money? It would be funny if BB withdrew the £50,000.

[MTVN]

If they were "buying popularity" they wouldn't have been seen showing to regret the decision, most likely thing is they thought; "it's their birthday, we've suddenly got 10 grand, let's get them a present" and then it only really occurred to them later how much they had spent, their perception of money and it's value must be a bit strange right now because they're effectively spending cash that they don't have

[Cherie]

I could understand that concept if Aaron had gone along with it, but given he backed out, it should have acted as a wake up call...but I guess they didnt want to lose face and back down and are now 1,000 lighter...

So why did they have to slag Aaron off for not joining in?

All this talk of 'what goes around comes around'

It was a desperate attempt to gain favor with the voting public and to discredit Aaron at the same time.

Because Aaron agreed and then pulled out at the last minute

So what though?

Aaron backing out didn't stop Lou & Jay from still getting the present.

They'd have looked plonkers if they too had backed out as well

Well because they wanted to do it as a group I guess, and Aaron being all for it until the last minute when he suddenly decides he doesn't want to do it any more would be a bit annoying

No I don't think that at all.

[Omega]

Who on earth would spend £500 on someone you barely know?

[fruit_cake]

good for Aaron backing out

[Luke31]

Louise was saying. if you do something nice for someone it'll come back to you.

she's meaning votes!!


makes me sick.

[Jackie]

Jay and Louise just did it as a good will gesture thibking the public would like it in other words to gain more votes.

LMAO, OMG why do the housemates always treat Alex like the bloody Queen of the house...

she's got the hair extensions, the 30k, and now the £500. Alex as far as I know has never given anything to another housemate. Likes to rake in the presents not so quick to dish them out though it seems

[headaball]

£500 watch and shoes.

The worst thing about this is people will fall for this blatant attempt to win votes.

this^

[Marmalite]

I'm sorry but who in their right mind buys someone they've known for a couple of months a present for 500 quid! And one of those presents is for someone who guaranteed to be getting 30 000 quid when they leave the house (and possibly another 50 000 on top of that).

Looks like the money they don't have is already burning a hole in their pockets. BB should give those two an Argos catalogue and tell them to circle what they want and they'll go and get it for them - that would make exciting HL show!

[karezza]

It is Aaron's birthday in 2 weeks time. What are Jay & Louise going to buy him?

[Cromwell1900]

How the hell did this come about then was it a straight question from BB(cant see the clip atm) "Do you want to buy Tom & Alex a present from your prize fund?" err! err!. Jay Yes -Lu - Yes - Aaron - No.

Sounds like BB have an aim to out the hm's that care most about the dosh

Hl's last night they told the "story" of how Aaron & Jay were bothered about the money being missing from the briefcase and Alex who stayed in bed & Tom who did not notice the missing 1000s were not bothered about the dosh.

[Bojangles]

I think it was genuine,but they weren't thinking straight that Alex had already got 30K and they were about to give her another £500.Then again Jay and Louise don't think most of the time.
Alex didn't refuse it though did she?

We don't know that Alex and Tom are aware of any of this!
