It has nothing to do with the amount of money, it has to do with Aaorn being a selfish self-obsessed manipulator of the highest order.

Well said.

Spending £500 on a fellow contestant in a reality TV show who you don't even like is very silly.

Tourmaline · 08-11-2011, 09:33 AM

They ALL thought £500 was an excessive amount for a present to begin with but then Jay and Louise went back on their principles for one reason only...to garner more votes. They didn't do it in the true spirit of GIVING

BS. Jay and especially Louyise went back because Alex and Tom are incredibily nice human beings, and given the oppurtunity to do something nice for them was too tempting.

Not tempting at all for Aaron though, to do something nice for Alex and Tom. Aaron didn't even look at the prices before he said no and tried to leave the diary room.

Don't forget Aaron also told them to buy the gifts if they want, but he is not spending any money because the prices were ridiculous.

GabbygalEvs · 10-11-2011, 08:49 AM

like i said on the other thread they dont even know these people i dont spend this much on my own family

I think anyone who pays 500 for a pair of shoes has more money than sense anyway. How many of us could afford to buy ourselves that never mind someone you have known for 9 weeks. IMO it was done to " look good " and i don't blame Aaron for being upset.

Well i disagree. Alex was so proud and honoured to have such a gift given to her,. And i think Alex is the kind of girl that deserves nice things, and i think if the roles were reversed, she would have used her 500 pounbds to buy something nice for jay, Aaron, or Louise.

She was truly excited to get the shoes, and giving joy to someone as nice as Alex is priceless. She is a lovely human being that is probably dismissed as an ugly air-head wanna-be in most situations in her life. But we've watched her for 3 months, and seen, she actually is an incredibly kind and loving human being just doing her best in this world with no malice towards anyone.

I personally enjoyed seeing Alex's excitement when she got those 500 pound shoes, and i think it was worth the 500 pounds to make Alex feel special like that.

She deserved to feel special on her birthday.

So i say well done Jay and Louise for wanting to make Alex and Tom feel special on their 21st birthday.

This - it was all done to make themselves look good and Aaron look bad and the fact that it backfired on them has made them both livid.

I would feel livid too, if someone questioned my motives like that;. I think you would too, if you think about it.

It obviously wasn't easy for them to make the decision, but i think tey did the right thing in the end, unlike Aaron.

And then, after making that sacrifice, and doing the right thing, they get slated for it??

That would piss me off. I would have far less control than Jay has. Aaron's face would look like roadkill if he did that to me. no doubt.

No I wouldn't have sneaked behind someone's back to do it in the first place which is the key to making themselves look bad.

Spending £500 on a present for someone you've known for 2 months

MachoPoodle · 10-11-2011, 10:21 AM

I kind of roll my eyes at polls like this. That extra strop about a strop should have been left out, or more options added.

macho poodle is the perfect description of Aaron. lol. has anyone everseen a macho poodle?? Has anyone ever seen a poodle that was in any way masculine???

i havn't.

Thank you for providing the perfect juxtaposition to prove my point.

Marmalite · 10-11-2011, 10:46 AM

OMG ... did they spent £500 x 2 on presents.... I never knew that...how do you know that.... and how stupid!

*sniggers and strops out of thread*

Marmalite · 10-11-2011, 10:59 AM

Come on lets face it no matter what Aaron did he was always going to be in the wrong.

If he had spent £500 he would have been fake, two-faced and buying votes because why would he spend that much on fellow HMs.

and

Now that he decided not to spend £500 (like any sane person) he's wrong, selfish, spiteful, mean and a scrooge.

Would also like to remind some posters in here that they all - that includes Louise, Jay and Aaron - said they didn't want to spend and wouldn't spend that much money on presents as it was ridiculous so it was not just Aaron. Stop trying to twist it or I'll have a strop.

Remind me again how the FOOK it is any of Aaron's business how jay and Louise spend their 10 grand??? Why the hell is it Aaron's job to police hove they spend their own money???

The only reaosn he cares, is because he's afriad he might not get as many votes, he's only caring about what the public thinks, yet he says it's all about principle??

no, Aaron it's not about principle obviously, obviously your only caring about how the public is voting, and he got pissed off that maybe the public would give him less votes because he was too cheap to buy tom and alex a present.

That's the bottom line. LET'S BE REAL.

I seriously can't believe I'm getting into this ridiculous argument over the ****ing £500 presents again but here goes:

Aaron had his say and that was that the fact that Jay and Louis - after saying they would not spend that much money on presents at any time... twice - then proceeded to go back to the diary room behind Aaron's back and spend £1000 on presents. That was it. He said in his eyes it felt like they were doing it to look good and win votes. He didn't harp on about it and he didn't keep saying it to their faces at all.

It was the 2 suddenly generous individuals who not only mentioned a zillion times how much the presents actually cost when they handed them over but continued to bitch and moan about the fact that what they had done was a generous gesture and out of the goodness of their own hearts. If they had just said it wasn't true and shut the **** up about it instead of going on and on for over 48 hours it would have been forgotten and they could have moved on. The lady doth protest to much and they panicked because they'd been outed.

Oh and just so we've got this straight ..... who brought up the buying of the ****ing presents in the first place because the show I watched it definitely wasn't Louise or Jay! I'm also still waiting for someone to tell me how much they spent on Anton's present (you know Jay's best friend in the house) you know because they are just so generous... but nobody's been able to confirm that with me yet.... go figure!

thesheriff443 · 10-11-2011, 12:27 PM

voters have spent tens of thousands i pounds on strangers they have never met or are likely to meet!,all the final five will make large amounts when bb ends also the fact they got ten grand each for mainly sitting on their arses,
