Default Luke\'s Beef With Darnell And The £100K Cheque

Ok, so Luke bangs on about Darnell and the £100K cheque. But there is a reason for that.

Darnell is much more familiar with the US version of Big Brother where it's much more about playing a game and engraciating yourself with the fellow contestants to get through the weeks and emerge as the winner. Darnell has gone into the house with that idea in mind having not particularly watched the UK version that has a slightly different format. Kat is actually much more familiar with the UK version, hence the cutesy act when she entered. Though, that's now wearing thin.

Luke is much more intuned to how the UK version works and Darnell's tactics/stunts, whatever you want to call them, are starkly noticable inside the house. Darnell is only going through the motions of Big Brother in order to reach the end and collect the prize money. While Luke may not have connected Darnell's approach to Big Brother with his familarity with the US format rather than the UK one, he understands what Darnell is trying to do and this frustrates him.

Luke's in there purely for the experience of being on the show. For him, making the final would be a bonus. Winning would be a double bonus. Luke's reasoning is that anyone winning the show has enjoyed and made the most of the experience along the way. He doesn't want to see someone who was only there to win the money to win the show. That's why Darnell has been moody since finishing being HoH. He knows he's blown his chance of winning the money...his only real motivation for being there. If he was there purely for the experience he wouldn't be fussed.
