Well basically , because it wasn't one of his reasons .
Nice theory , but back on Earth Jacko simply wanted that money and was CERTAIN he'd got it , hence the happy smug grin -------------that got wiped off his face when Jason's name was called out .

He probably has it earmarked for a holiday in the Maldives for when he manages to snag his next 30 year old. Maybe he will get with someone from TOWIE next.”

He said it wasn't for him and why share it when their are a good few who probably don't even like him

Exactly and on a lighter note Jason is now 2nd favourite to win

Of course it's about the money. As the saying goes its those with the most that are the most greedy and tight.”

He never said he didn't want the money, only that it wasn't the main motivation. He pushed the button to keep himself from being evicted. And if you honestly believe that Jackson would have shared it as he claimed, then you're deluded.

Why should he ? He won it and it belongs to him, no one else would have shared it. No matter what they say it just does not happen, you have to be realistic.

Probably because of the way Jackson went on at him after Jason chose Lateysha to be evicted. Nearly all the rest ganged up on him. Only Andy, from what I saw, didn't join in. After that, I can fully understand why he'd rather give the money to someone that he knows than to one of them who showed their true colours in that room. Also, if Jackson can easily afford a Cartier watch for Georgina, he must be doing VERY well for himself outside of the house, which means that thousands of pounds isn't much to him either.

He said 'someone will benefit from that money', so I think he has it earmarked for someone/something else.

Why should he share it?

Because of bunch of spineless idiots say he should?

I'm sure he'll do something more useful with it than the rest of them would.

He didn't give any reasons for pushing the button. I was speculating with a list of possible reasons any of which could have been the case.

Why shouldn't he have pushed the button? I can't see any valid reason for any of them not to have pushed the button!

If he did it for the money then good on him. Why not?

Who wouldn't have a smug grin if they thought they'd won £20K?

Whose face wouldn't fall if they then found out they had lost out?

I don't get how any of that puts Jackson in a negative light. It's how pretty much how anybody would react!

How is that sly or manipulative? It's only sly and manipulatiive if you don't believe it and there is zero evidence to determine the truth one way or the other!

Except, of course, for all the prior behaviour which has consistently seen Jackson being upset at selfish acts and insisting on giving up his own happiness for the benefit of the group.

Said with a Jason accent��

It's the WINNERS deserving money, anyone that gives in to temptation and takes it for themselves is taking it away from what goes to the most desrving.....that certainly ain't Jason. He hasn't done anything to warrant £5. He just stares.......... ”

Whoever the eventual winner is, they'd only get £80k, which I think is more than enough for any of them.

Let's just remember these people are not friends, they are people who have shared a house for a few weeks. They have friends and family outside who I'm sure would be the people they may choose to help. Jason may have money and stuff in his normal life but that doesn't mean he has to give anything to anyone in there and I don't understand why it should be expected. It's a game show with an end prize and should be winner takes all. I don't think one person in there deserves a share of anyone else's money full stop”

Totally agree!!!! We don't know who he supports financially already that that money would go to....charity work or friends and family he helps. Real genuine good hearted people tend not to broadcast what they do and just do it.

No one can know that, he could've also still pressed if only the money was involved. We're just assuming it had nothing to do with the money really.

The people who think Jason or other housemates should share it, are probably the same people who think that big lottery winners should share it out because £50million is too much. We don't know what people do with their money, rightly so, it's none of our bleddy business, who are we to tell them what to do with it.

He went on a gameshow, he played the game, whether he wins or not, he's walking away £20k richer. Whatever he chooses to spend it on, that's up to him but why the heck should he give it to people that he's known five minutes and who would have thrown him out if given half a chance.
