Ok, so they bought Tom and Alex a watch and shoes from the prize money at a cost of £1000. Do you think it is a genuine gesture or an attempt to win votes?

Poll to follow.

Cost of 2x£500!!

Considering they regretted it immediately...and made a point of trying to make aaron look bad for not joining with them...and louises 'when you give you get something back' or whatever it was that she said...

I would feel a bit silly if I thought it was genuine.

[Samuel.]

Bit of both.

MTVN made a good post in another thread in defense of Louise and Jay, but I do think without it being the final week they wouldn't have been quite as generous.

[MTVN]

Genuine; like I said in the other thread they suddenly have 10k in their pocket which they didn't expect to have, I think they just thought why not spend a bit of it on making the birthday more enjoyable. I think the fact that they showed doubt afterwards shows that it was genuine otherwise why would they express such thoughts if they purely did it to be seen in a good light? Their perception of money & it's value in there must be strange because they're basically spending money they don't have and I think they just did on a spur of the moment and then it only really sank in later

I would have thought more of them if they'd offered to club together and give Faye something, after all they were all so close they reckoned and poor Faye missed out on getting anything because their plan didn't work, so they say.

I haven't watched the clip but as they seemed to have realised afterwards they'd been a bit too impulsive, I would say it could be genuine

It seems it was an impulsive gesture because it was Tom and Alex's birthday..I don't think much thought went into it..until afterward maybe..

A desperate attempt to win votes.

If i ask a mate to chip in for another mates present and he says no, i don't then go and slag him off for not chipping in.

I also don't instantly regret it and expect a nosh in return or to be able to borrow something of theirs.

Would you if he said "yes" and then decided not to at the last minute?

[Bojangles]

Well Aaron only got £990,when Alex got30k after all.I don't blame him at all,Jay and Lou should have not been so impulsive.

[Scotty07]

If it was a tenner or something, then I might've said genuine. Then again, Shady Louise was involved so I probably still would've said to gain votes.

No. It happens.

Also, Louise says she knew Aaron wouldn't join in, so why ask him then, if not to make him look bad and slag him off in the diary room?

This ^

I don't like them being able to spend money they technically haven't got yet, even still, £1000 is a bit much, especially considering Alex has just recieved 30k for no good reason.

It is an obnoxious attempt to win votes. Oh we are so lovely unlike nasty Aaron

Aaron to win

I wouldn't worry about her making Aaron out to look bad as she's made herself look even worse. Right after coming out of the diary room she was moaning about how she's bought Alex such an expensive b/day present yet Alex won't share anything with her and how she doesn't even have a pair of shoes.

I also think that both she and Jay think they're going to get so many photo and magazine opps when they get out (he slipped up by saying she'll make their money back quickly when she gets out with all the photo shoots she'll be offered) that they'll make the money up quickly..... unfortunately, that now makes me think even more that they've gone into a relationship not just because of "love" but because of the $$$$ attached to it when they get out.

The Josie and John Jame's reality show was bad enough but I think I'll commit suicide if I have to watch or hear about the Jayloo toilet trash reality show for the next 12 months!

Aaron had wanted to do it as well, did he only want to win votes originally as well

Maybe Aaron was willing to put a reasonable amount in like say a tenner not about £300 odd apiece? And quite rightly backed out, realising that JayLou wanted to look good for votes. Aaron doesn't need to use low tactics for votes.

Cue people praising how perceptive Aaron is

[InOne]

Surely these normal salt of the earth working class people wouldn't have the money to go round splashing gifts on people they barely know
