so Jack has handed the voters an excuse NOT to vote him the winner because "he's already got $23000 - someone else needs to win"
for someone who has said he has a gambling problem I don't see how 60 days in the BB house is going to cure that and I see $AUD48000 in cash being one awfully big temptation to have "just a little flutter" ...
when they talk of this amount of money being life changing ... then go on to say they'll sort out the fee/thing on his flat, buy clothes, buy things for friends and family ... that's not exactly life changing (unless 'the thing on the flat' is meaning pay off a mortgage and be free of debt on that) ... that's being a nice generous friend/family member and dressing well for a period of time ... but when the money dries up are the friends still there and do the clothes make that much of a difference? and when the money is drying up is the temptation going to be to have a flutter on a horse or a footie team to make it come back?
His first thing to say was "we're all going on a holiday" ... the thought process is SPEND SPEND SPEND on things that are immediate gratification - and not only for him but for those around him. Nice idea Jack - your friends and family WILL love you for it ... but in the long run will you resent giving it away and will they think you're stupid the way you gave it all away?
Everytime I hear its Jack in the DR I groan ... and if he THANKS another person, CONGRATULATES another person I think I'll scream!!!
I think Cristian WAS spewing that he didn't press the buzzer earlier but he admitted that he was doing the yes/no thing and then said even if he had to do it over he still believes Jack would have won that money. So maybe he would have liked it but wasn't about to make himself unpopular in order to do so.
Danny didn't look like he was about to push the button but he DID look like he was sussing out who might and trying to give them the evil eye ... which could have made them more nervous and apt to jump at it rather than think it through ...
however Jack was always going for it - he had fingers at the ready over the button - more so than anyone else.
As for the pizza-loving Joel - I hope he has that reaction everytime he eats a pizza ... for the next 2500 pizza's in his life in fact! who ever heard of a boy his age vomiting after ONE pizza ... especially one who loves pizza so much?! Was he deliberately trying to fail? He didn't really look that devastated to have failed when telling them - again with the smirk ... he wasn't gutted thats for sure.
Should he ever raise through the political ranks and have anything to do with budget control or a portfolio with responsibility for taxpayers' money I hope that the clip of him paying 2500 pound for a pizza (thats $AUD5217.40) comes back to haunt him ... over and over again!
...a few good points there about Jack crimmy and I believe that you're dead set right in all of them...I totally agree... and yes... he was always going to push that button for sure... you're right about Joel too... I believe that he deliberately failed it too... he wanted to prove that he didn't spend 2500 pounds on a pizza for gluttony reasons but as a laugh/mistake or misunderstanding reason for his paying that much for one... if he failed it he thinks that it shows to the housemates that it must have been because of a laugh/mistake or misunderstanding between him and Big Brother at the time... he really thinks that they will believe that!... politicians always think that people are that gullible after all... lol!... cheers.
