I think the point that Hughie is homing in on is that Alex had apparently stated yesterday that he wouldn't take money for the winners pot (Ryan claims, rather disingenuously in my opinion, that he only meant £20k !)

Hughie admitted he went for the £20k but only because BB had said words to the effect that the 20K was gone from the pot no matter whether any HMs pressed the button (which is also how i remember them explaining the money task to the HM)

Is it hard to imagine a little 'holier than thou' mumbled statement to the group from Alex yesterday about why he didn't go for the button ? Maybe that has rankled with Hughie as in one of the earlier clips we clearly heard BB state the 5K would come from the winners pot ...

Alex realised he's been caught out and so has now denied he was told the 5K will come from the winners pot ... I think we will see later he is fibbing or was just too fixated on the thought of those sugary sweets to pay as close attention as Hughie did.

So Hughie is right ... again

Hughie is like a stupid little uneducated dog with neither wit nor wisdom.

He will do anything to make a point. He doesn't listen - didn't listen to Alex and just wanted to be right. He keeps on shifting his viewpoint to give his argument weight.

Horrible traits in a person. Why on earth is he so liked?

Why is such ignorance rewarded by the public?

Some accuse Hughie-supporters as seeing through "Hughie glasses." I think there are some that wear "stupid, uneducated, ignorant Hughie" glasses. That's partly why I support him because I think there is some prejudice against Hughie that is automatically applied to him unfairly no matter what he does. Fair enough he is an idiot lots of times but he is not stupid or ignorant or uneducated.

So is Jackson going to give all the other HMs £500 each?
Lol, I was thinking that, but we know he won't give a penny.

Whether Hughie had a point or not is lost once he starts expressing himself in that aggressive tone. Look who was calm and collected and look who was ranting and raving.

Also, Hughie has a habit of stating his piece (over and over) and then walking off before the other person has a chance to reply. Glad Alex pulled him back. What was Hughie's response - 'yeah because I have finished talking to you' or something. Says it all.

Hughie always gets aggressive when he argues, he tries to beat anyone down who dares to question what he is saying.

Hughies a jammy sod in the house. Going by last nights show from what I recall he didn't own up that he went to press the button. No one saw either.

But of course we know.

Thinking again mayne he did own up, i'm not 100% sure.. But the point is his double standards are showing.
He admitted it in the video linked in the OP. Though he talks so fast - it's easy to miss.

He admitted he pressed the button and said he was gonna share the 20k with everyone.

Hughie does have a point and it is a fair point but he lets himself down by not listening and therefore not responding to what was being said. Alex's argument was that he wouldn't take £20k IE a significant amount and that he was swayed with the £5k not so much for the money but the luxury that went with it. Basically it isn't comparing exact like with like but that didn't suit Hughie's case which was to show Alex up as a hypocrite and though Hughie didn't really open himself up to a cry of hypocrisy himself by pushing the button for the £20k by doing so it did make his argument weaker in my view.

I agree Hughie loses arguments when he shouts, but I get where he is coming from. Alex had supposedly told both Andy and Evelyn that he would not take any money apparently. In the spoilers for tonight, Andy and Evelyn both side with Hughie over Alex, which is "hell freezes over" in it's own merit.

So the fact that them two agreed with Hughie must mean that Alex made a big deal of never taking money.

BUT, if I was in Alex's shoes, i wouldn't need to defend myself because I'd take the 5k. I wouldn't take the 20k, but would take the 5k.

I would have taken the 20k becuase it was a win win for most of them , there is only one winner of BBUK .

Thanks - I think Hughie going for the 20K yesterday makes it a more difficult argument to make but his point about Alex's hypocricy is well made.

I also think what may be being missed here is not simply Alex taking £5k from the winners pot but depending on how many other HM chose the Rich side the accumulated £5ks that would be taken form the winners pot.

I assume in these circumstances Alex would think it's okay for 3 HM to take £15k from the pot but a fourth Rich HM would bring that up to the magic £20k and then his superior moral code would kick into play and he would forfeit his place on the Rich side.

They don't appear to have known at the time that only two housemates would end up on the rich side so the honourable thing to do was choose the poor side.

I get where Hughie is coming from. The £20k would have been taken off the prize fund even if nobody pressed the button. The £5k was a choice to take it or leave it for the winner. Alex said he wouldn't take money out of somebodies pocket and just took £5k from the winners fund.

I would have taken it if it was just a simple "take the 20k", but the fact I had to evict someone in the process, then that's why I wouldn't have pressed it. Yes, I know you have 20k so even if you are targeted and out the next week, it won't matter etc... But I wouldn't want to have the "fear" of next eviction fodder over the next few days leading up to eviction and having a target on my back.

I'd want to win the money by getting to the final and winning and not screwing someone over. BUT I do not disagree with what Jason did. I wouldn't have done it but kudos for him to doing it.

I'd rather have had the money and continue. But the evicting someone would be the reason I wouldn't push it.

You know as boring as I've found him he's been consistent in being genuinely nice throughout, unlike Ryan whose nasty side flashes out every so often. I'm not pinning Alex for a winner but him piping up and saying his piece as well as being genuine, well there are worse potential winners in there.

Did I misunderstand part of the clip I watched today where Jackson sent Ryan back to the poor side. I'm sure BB, when Jackson chose Ryan, said that Jackson would get his 5k. Does that mean Jackson has 10k or just Ryan's 5k?

Looks like everyone on Facebook is on Alex's side. He's going to win isn't he?
I bloody well hope not.

It does not matter HOW MUCH he took, Alex still contradicted himself. He took money, that is the point.

He's not the worst. He's been a bit antagonistic and smug at times but on his brief appearances he's been for the most part fairly decent.

Compare to Sam who to me is similarly "dull" but on the few occasions I've seen him he's been unpleasant.

I'd take pleasant wallpaper over malevolent wallpaper any day.

Thankfully it seems to be mainly on here he gets all the vitriol, but then Andy and Jason seem to be the favourites on this forum... so it's not a surprise.

These 'haterz' insinuations are a bit unfair. I have a soft spot for Hughie - certainly don't hate him - but I don't care how 'right' he was. Alex should not have to defend his decision to Hughie.

Hughie asked and was told. Alex told him, Ryan told him. That should have been it but he still went on. Same old thing over and over. I like him but he's a bloody pest when he starts.

He's like my 8 yr old. I can't be doing with rhyming in my ear. If Hughie were mine he'd have lost his PS4, DS and his Rollerblades by now. A pest.
