No offence messenger...!

Surely Anthony's agent will be dealing with that kind of thing... Anyway, it might have been an advert for something he didn't feel happy about promoting. We've all (or mostly all) turned down stuff that is potentially very lucrative - admittedly perhaps not because we all want to be taken seriously ROFL...

nobody is going to take anthony seriously

Bless Ant - he's just an ordinary *lad*, with not much going on up top.

He's never tried to make himself out to be any different. In that house he was the only one who didn't seem to be completely self-centred. I know it's the *in thing* to be Eugene crazy - but I think Eugene was totally selfish the whole time he was in there. He couldn't be bothered to tolerate the others, and took half the prize money without being the viewer's choice as winner. He's using his brain to make money out of being a *lovable eccentric geek*. That's how it looks to me, anyway.

I don't think Eugene is capable of thinking that tbh
I just can't see anything calculating about the guy at all

I will second that vagabond

I second pikey for definite.

I second, third, fourth............something anyway

He just strikes me as one of life's innocents in many ways but thankfully is self aware enough to realise that there will be people out tere who may want to exploit his nature

*nods*

Yeah, they won't help you out of the goodness of their heart. There will always be something in it for them, and hopefully Eugene will realise this.

I watched Eugene closely on the live feed, and I thought he came across as VERY calculating. I think being in the house affected his personality a bit. The Eugene that Cameron met is probabaly essentially a pretty good guy. But he's not thick, and I think he's worked out how to use public opinion to his best financial advantage.

I would call it 'logical' rather than 'calculating' - then again, that's just down to our own personal interpretations.

IMO it would have been MORE calculating to refuse the money on the grounds that it would make you look good in the eyes of the voting public and may win you the contest for being 'decent' and 'doing the right thing'.I admired his honesty and the fact that by saying'This way there will be 2 winners' meant he genuinely seemed to believe he didnt have a cat in hells chance of winning the contest.
But thats how I saw it and I guess only Eugene will know what was really going through his mind.

I personally don't approve of Eugene taking the money - though he had a perfect right to do so, of course. That wasn't what I meant by calculating.

His more calculating behaviour was seen in his dealings with the other housemates. The way he interacted with them, and the way he behaved in the Diary room. I think he wanted to be seen as an innocent abroad, and that he was much more aware of his *persona* than many people think. It's even possible that he wanted to be in the house in the first place as he knows he's a geek, and wanted to be the next Jon Tickle.

You can bet your bottom dollar that he's going to milk the amiable geek thing for every penny he can get out of it now. Fair play to him, but some of us aren't taken in by it.

once again I second that vagabond. I felt that there was more to him than met the eye. he was not as innocent as he made out.
