i think vinnie's power comes from treating the show  as some sort of perilous journey on the high seas and he will lead them to safety, trouble is that will work  for 2 weeks when everyone's sorting  themselves out and then the mutiny will errupt.
he could be walking the plank soon, and i don't mean dane...

Vinnie's behaviour should not (and will not) receive unqualified and indefinite support from fellow housemates.
The pendulum swings (Yin-Yang principle) and there will be mutiny.

I'm only just catching up with this weeks CBB, and I don't like what i'm seeing of Vinnie

Such a shame as I liked him before, I'm not so sure he's such a nice person now though, and I noted he brought up his Wifes heart transplant from 22 years ago!!!!

He is desperate to win, and he is also very sure he'll win

He's also giving any money he receives from CBB to the ''Help for Heroes Campaign"...so whatever he's like as a man, that's enough for me.

I have to agree with you there

Kaytee, whilst that is a wonderful gesture and good on him, it still doesn't eradicate his awful behaviour. Many people with way less money are doing a sterling job of raising funds and contributing to the Heros campaign too.

I don't give a monkey's for any of the HMs this year Dems...so I hope Vinnie wins so the charity will get more dosh....are the rest of them pocketing or giving away their fees etc? I don't think so.

Very true Fairfax, and I'm among them, but Vinnie is in there and the others aren't...every little helps as they say

Shame he made sure everybody knew that fact before he went in. Most people can donate without having to let the world know.

Stephanies agent has said she is in the house in order for her drug addict daughter to be treated in rehab and to pay off debts her daughter incurred, SO whilst I don't like her at all she is doing something with her fee for someone else's benefit.

That is also commendable Fairfax...and she has moved to third favourite for me....After the Tree and Vinnie
Anyone who is doing something worthwhile with thwir fees will get my vote....I don't like any of them this year tbh.

Did he stand on a soapbox and proclaim it to the world? Or..did a journo ask him what he was going to do with the money he makes? I don't know, but the campaign needs all the money it can get from whatever source, so I don't hold the fact that he publicised it against him.

So wait, is he giving his fee for appearing on BB to charity, or just the prize money if he wins?  Either way that doesn't really go far enough to compensate for his nasty behaviour.

Initially the fee Spider and anything else he earns from his appearance on CBB. I am not excusing his, or any other HM's behaviour and won't defend that to anyone.....I just want his cash!

its an ongoing thing, she was i'll again recently he also gave the money from one of his films to the hospital that treats her

I remember when Vinnie's wife collapsed...it was a shocker, she was so young. Thank God she's still alive and doing so well. She's the longest UK survivor of a transplant so far, I think.

Ahhhhh, i didn't know that.... It still doesn't change my opinion that he is quite a nasty character who loves to belittle people, but at least he has a heart..

I've heard it all now LOL. People use the word BULLY if someone simply questions someone's actions or what they say. Stephen is a bigger bully as well as being a vile little parasite. I know who *I* would rather be in that house with! And the Daily Star???!!!! PLEASE! Who READS that rubbish!? That paper is a joke!

He gave his fee from Lock Stock (his first film) to the hospital that did her transplant, but that was back in 1998.

There is no prize money, so they'll get his fee whether he wins, or not!

I would class Vinnie as a wind-up merchant who is getting away with it, rather than a bully...if I'm being pedantic.
Stephen is barking as well rather than a bully per se. Anyone who takes any notice of him whatsoever, is as daft as he is.

i'm not keen on vinnie,although the little opinion i had of him before he went on cbb was altogether a good one, mostly for his role in lock stock,he's not a bully though,he proclaims what will happen and what people should do or say and they all do it or say it.they have convinced themselves that vinnie and only vinnie can guide safely through this terrible ordeal so they come out whole the other side,daft buggers.

sisqo  and stephen to a degree have almost stood up to him, and vinnie hasn't battered them or stolen their lunch money as a result.

True Blizzie...but there's some milking of the media to be done afterwards as well.....Headley Court needs as much dosh as it can get.

Or, in Alex's case, way dafter

i agree

I don't base my opinion of housemates on donations to charity, who their partner is, the state of health of their mother, how many animals they have rescued, the mental health of their brother, or the voluntary work for orphans.
I don't think things like that should have anything to do with it.
It should only be based on their performance and behaviour in the house.
And on that basis, I want Vinnie Jones (and Stephen Baldwin) to be evicted as soon as possible.

True PMSL

Your opinion Brisket and a valid one, but my own opinion is that as I don't like any of them this year...apart from a worrying tendency to warming to Dane Bowers.....I'll follow the money instead

Don't worry about it Kaytee.  Just go with the flow.

I'm scared......I think I'll have to get some meds for it

Some people may see that as "being bought off"

Yeah! I'm easily bought for a cause I believe in and support
I simply don't care much about this year's batch of HMs

What Brisket said.
It's what happens in the house that matters and Vinnie is a nasty control freak.

I don't think anyone deserves to win CBB just because they say they'll give the money away to worthy causes. They can afford to.

Vinnie Jones is already loaded - it's less of a gesture than, say, Craig of BB1 who gave away the prize money despite being a builder with not much cash.

So no matter what your behaviour is like in the house, if you`re giving your money to charity, you deserve to win?

I`ve heard it all now

I like Jonas - am i alone?

I like him too Renton Sadly, he's not gonna win

No.I kind of like him too. Actually, if I'm honest his looks may sway me a tad. (Shallow I know and I'm not proud of it) (Waits for a telling off by ColdSweat)
