He made me angry as yes perhaps bankruptcy means he won't have to pay, but either way he would lose the house his parents worked hard to help him buy and that amount of debt means someone somewhere would end up paying. i could have smacked him when he sat opposite his mum saying 'why are you getting upset, its just paper?

I think the reason he didnt get it was because he had a severe problem.
His attitude was well if I ignore it it will go away, and whilst I can spend I will.
His poor mum. I hope she never bails him out again.

I found it interesting that the producers kept on mentioning his ex-girlfriend and saying he spent all his money on her, but if he is spending twice his income on clothes, the dog and nights out at the moment. How can it be her fault?

And don't even get me started on the bloody range rover

The woman probably thought it was flattering to begin with but after a while realised she wouldnt really want to settle down with someone like him as he wouldnt curb his spending if they became a family.
Nice bloke under it, I thought though.

D'you think the Range Rover was in inverse proportion to his d**k?!

I actually think he had some serious self-esteem issues and he clearly thought he could 'buy it'.

Don't get me wrong - still thought he was an idiot. His poooor mother.
