A lot of people are posting about Alex sharing her 30k, but what about Aaron? Him and Jay had an agreement that if one of them won they would share the money with the other. Will Aaron keep to his word?

[Beso]

It certainly doesn't look that way so far.

[MTVN]

He had better

[Incensed]

I didn't even know they had agreed to. I tell ya, I'm on another planet from most people half the time

[Black Dagger]

Why should he, really?

Jay didn't win and already has 15k.

[LJH23]

I would like to think he will yeah but I wouldn't like to be in his position if he doesn't with Jay's temper...

So you also believe then that Alex should keep her 30k?

Because they agreed. It would be very hypocritical for him to have sat there on BOTS telling the others that a "deals a deal" when Emma asked them if they'd still split the money and then go back on his word himself

Aaron should get the Ł100,000.

Well he won't, so shoo.

[Samuel.]

I have no doubt he will.

[Cromwell1900]

Highly unlikely, i think that would be a principle play to far, but we shall see!

Absolutely...

Luck of the hat... Aaron has Ł50,990.

Jay has Ł15,000

Alex keeps her 30k

Tom gets a nice Ł10

Yeah this ^

[Jords]

I dont think so and nor he should really.

[MaratSafinForever]

He shouldn't give a penny to Jay.

Why on earth should he? Jay has been nothing but a vile, common, filthy and vulgar pig for 2 months. Jay, who's apparently spent 55 grand on a car before, who would only piss the money down the drain anyway, doesn't deserve naff all.

Aaron should never have agreed in the first place, he should have been thinking of his son.

I say, screw 'em Aaron and take the money. It's not like they're ever going to be friends anyway.

they agreed on the other half of the money. Emma asked this question to the other finalist "Are you still gonna share the prize money now Aaron has the 50k of his own", I've just watched it again, they(aaron and Jay) both said "deals a deal" when Alex did not answer.

[Brother Leon]

They agreed to do it, just like they agreed to split the 50k into 10 each. I would like to think he does. If he did Jay would only have 10k less than the winner . I do think winning BB as a whole meant more to Aaron though so I am glad he got that title at least while Jay at least made a fair sum.

[Suze]

This thread reminds me of Josie, and Steve's leg. Whereas I think Aaron and Jay will stick to their deal, after all I expect both will be making more money for a while at least anyway being winner and runner up respectively, I have a feeling with Alex as she looked so miffed, that it will be like trying to get blood out of a stone I don't remember Josie sticking to her deal even though she made loads after BB11.

Ł10,500 if we're being picky, since Aaron refused to pitch-in for the Birthday prezzie

According to posts on DS, she donated an equivalent sum to a relevant charity as Steve already had 2 good prosthetics by the time and had indicated another wouldn't be much use

Didn't Anthony, Craig, Saskia and Maxwell vow to share the money if they won and Anthony never stuck to his word. It seems they never spoke again because of it.
It is easier when in the house to make promises and then go back on them when reality hits home.

Its not as if it is a couple of quid you are giving away. Aaron has a child, ex-wife and family and himself he could do so much with the money for them. Its not a huge ammount of money although it is more than he had before he entered the house.

But in the house you are not thinking how you will feel once you have left the house a winner. He has already been done out of half of the money. That alone should make him think about splitting the money. If he does I suppose its up to him but I can't help feeling the messing with the money in the first place was a bit dodgy.

The same with Alex. I am sure she has a lot she wants to do with the money and if she goes back on the sharing of it I don't blame her. I am sure they will all make a little more on top of what they have gained.

Josies offer was genuine I think. She had no reason to mention the offer if she didn't want to stick to it. As it is he had offers made to him anyway so she didn't have to buy them for him in the end.
