    Good to see him doing well. Always liked Aaron. Probably my top winner tbh followed by Brian D.

    I didn't realise the bar was totally not-for-profit. A very noble enterprise, but how are they going to live?

    He does seem to be very scathing about the ex-housemates, and seemed only to define the series by it's negatives, 18-30's, boring HMs etc - I would have thought that, as the winner, he would be over that now, and even find a pleasant word to say, but it seems he's still nursing some kind of wound. Has there ever been a more curmudgeonly winner?

    Wonder what Faye thought of the 18-30's comment? :D

    By paying themselves a wage like the rest of their employees?

    Cool, nice light hearted interview thanks for the Link. I wonder if the bar's storeroom has been used :p:p

    At least he attempted to speak with them all. Interested to know who wouldn't talk to him We know he spoke to Anton/Aden/Jay so who wouldn't?? Mark is the interesting one for me. They were obviously mates in the house but when Mark came out he hardly did anything to defend his mate did he even though he hung round Bots. He then latched onto Aaron as the winner & I think Aaron saw this as a continuation of their friendship. Looks like Mark hung around while he got something out of it & has now disappeared. Hmm.....

    Did he ever share the winnings that he agreed with Jay?

    ...........or not. Mark never showed any signs of 'latching onto' Aaron and only ever tweeted him (rarely) about football. In fact he never seemed to show any interest in hanging out with any of the housemates really - perhaps the weeks of travelling with Lauren Harries put him off the whole BB concept.

    Nobody shared with anyone as far as I know. Well Alex gave some to Tom I think.

    Ah yes, silly me.

    An ambitious scheme in my eyes.

    Mark got himself a GF I believe and vanished off the radar around that time.

    Think you are out of the loop. He was never off the phone to Aaron in the days/weeks after BB. Aaron was always commenting on it. He was supposed to be going down to WSM & even going on a stag holiday with Aarons & his mates. Didn't happen.

    That's pretty poor.

    Hopefully, those who were promised a share have gone on to make some cash from magazines, TV appearances, etc.

    You haven't moved on and you were merely a viewer.

    Oh, fair enough, I only read his very sparse tweets.

    Alex did indeed talk about giving something unspecified to Tom and Jay shared with Louise. The only missing links were Alex's duty to share with Aaron and Aaron's duty to share with Jay.

    Edit: what happened to Aaron's book?

    TBH I think the 100K should have gone to the winner and the winner alone.
    Stupid task that failed miserably in my opinion.

    It failed in the sense that it caused no particular entertainment inside the house and a lot of ill-feeling outside the house when it could no longer do any good in terms of causing BB debates.

    On the other hand, it is not the first time BB have split or reduced the prize money, and I barely remember a single person fussing about it in the past, even when, in BB10, the prize money was reduced to zero.

    You'd better ask the the experts in the AT as I got told off a couple off a couple of weeks ago for doubting it would happen now he has the bar.

    I hope next series we get an equally interesting and well-rounded winner, and not the typical safe choice who has the least baggage.

    whilst that, in your opinion, may be true, promises were made and broken!

    what on earth is wrong with people not being allowed to have an opinion on this bloke whether positive or negative, people got to move on and accept that he won and that he wasn't liked by everybody jeezus.

    To be fair that poster ran into a very fervent but well meaning supporter in an appreciation thread.
