Default Rich or poor?

Which would you choose - the £5,000 and "life of luxury" or no money and basic rations/rags?

it'd completely depend on how I thought I was being perceived by my housemates/the public... it'd probably be the £5k if I thought I had no chance of winning

5k is a lot of money to me and I'd feel foolish for turning it down.

I wouldn't turn down 5k, especially as I know I wouldn't win the top prize.

Looking at it from a scenario of being in there and put in that position then 5k is a lot but I'd be too concerned it'd ruin any chances i had of winning at this stage.

I'd take the money. It's not like you get offered £5,000 every day, plus I'd probably assume that I've got no chance of winning.

Realistically I think most people would take the money unless they think they are going to win anyway or are scared of getting fallout like Jason had. I have a family, if I was there it would be for the money. You have no guarantee you are going to win so I'd take anything I was offered or could win. Those people are people you have known a few weeks, my family and whatever I can do for them with the money come 100% first always.

Rich, I've never seen that much money in my life, however I wouldn't be in the garden the previous night saying that I wouldn't take a penny out of the prize fund and I'd stand by my decision.
