I never said you said i said it was

Still - advertising the fact, i.e. looking for public sympathy, is a low ploy being used unfairly against the other contestants un beknown to them...

"we need the money or she will die" - thats pretty poor taste if u ask me. as is getting pregnant in the pool

I neve... nah i cant be arsed

That doesnt change the fact that her mother needs thousands of pounds for an operation to save her life though. I think that's more important than 1 less pain in the arse on TV for the remaining few weeks. Whether she can get it done on the NHS or not is beyond me but since reading about the situation she's in I've put my will to vote her out 24/7 to one side. When Craig off BB1 won and gave all his money to the little girl who needed an operation I thought it was an extremely considerate, selfless thing to do.

Did he tell anyone? did he use it to his advantage? No.. he waited till he was out to tell people what he was going to use the money for - rather than using the fact for votes

No he did. He didn't exploit the situation to gain votes but they all did their pre-entry interview things and he said if he winds he's giving the money to the little girl.

In the same wasy as Makosi is doing it. I dont know if she's mentioned it but it was mentioned by her sister lately - as you would if you were in her situation and was asked what you think makosi will do if she wins the money at the end of the show. The fact that the papers published a small column about it isn't really using the unfotunate situation they're in to gain votes. No doubt it will boost votes but i don't see anything sinister about the whole mention of it. I know if my sister was in there and i was asked what I think she'd spend the money on I wouldn't lie and say 'a car'.
