David exposed as a money grabber..

[masonbason]

To people who didnt know that, and say hes a decent guy, read it and open your eyes.

My point here to be very clear there is NO PROBLEM with winning money on a gameshow,THAT IS THE POINT OF BEING A CONTESTANT ON A GAMESHOW.

My problem is when you say you dont care about the money and you are here for the experience, cause you are simply LYING and being duplicitious. Simple, any more confusion let me know. Dont assume.

what a load of old **** -- i dont like david either but Goldenballs is a gameshow and people do anything they can to win -- the very same person who made that post would've also used the Steal ball if it meant he would win, and so would everybody here -- winning a gameshow doesnt make someone a money grabber, the whole POINT of gameshows is for people to win money at the end

No chance i have enough money, i am not Desperate...if i was Desperate, i would do it and SAY THAT I AM HERE TO WIN.... thats the difference..

My problem with David being he says he doesnt care for the money when he obviously wants to win so badly he would stab someone in the back.. thats my problem with him..simple

There is a simple way to do it, considering the button isn't there. Just don't reply to my posts. It's hardly Rocket Science.

I prefer the ignore button, you really are not that helpful, rocket science by the way is not 1 subject, there are many subjects that cover rocket science, do you mean fluid mechanics..

I play the lottery but I don't want to win. I just get joy-joy feelings from filling the little boxes in and handing it to the Asian man. 'Come again,' he says. Then I enjoy my microwave popcorn while the balls are being drawn. Winning money has nothing to do with putting the lottery on. I would be gutted if I won. It just takes all the fun out of my innocent game of chance. The way I play the lottery, you see, is you have to try and pick the balls that won't get drawn. The chances are much better at winning this way.

[delta]

He said he had no problems taking the cash if offered £50 k to walk out.


He may have been playing to the rules on Golden Balls, but there is an over riding ethical way of playing it as others have pointed out on DS forum.

You cannot then go on to proclaim that you are whiter than white and holier than thou after pulling such a stunning **** on national TV.

Ironically, but unbeknown to him, he has zero chance of winning. If he knew that, it might affect his behaviour!

Your suggesting the game dictates the morals, i.e when you sit down in the Gballs seat morals are no longer a consideration.

That is rubbish, you can not seperate a person from his morals, or put another way if you can, they are immoral people.

Morals are the things you stand by when it counts most.

The game gives you the choice, split or steal, Trust, dont Trust, greed, selflessness, it is the player which decides which choice to make

and it seems David chose Greed, Steal, dont trust, and if when he left the seat he says ok i can have my morals back now, do you believe he has not left them at the door when he entered BB?

Exactly...my thoughts, there is nothing wrong with winning money, its the way you do it.. and his method is the worst..cause he aint gonna win the money..

[UglyBaby]

Ridiculous. Goldenballs is a COMPLETELY different show. Its a mad rush to make as much money as possible in a short time...thats the point!

Big brother is more of a long winded social experience. The real prize is the fame it gets you when you leave the show. Thats what most want.

I've never felt that David believes he could actually win. Never ever.

I dont play the lottery knowing i wont win, i play it hoping i will win..

You have a very simplistic way of seeing things. Childlike even.

People can go on different shows for different reasons. Geddit?

None of that actually argues against David being a moneygrabber. Yes it is a different show, but it is not a mad rush for money at all, many of the players split, after hearing heartfelt pleas, only to find those pleas we're false, and they feel betrayed, David betrayed one of these people, it's just a game does not apply because of the heartfelt pleas. If you fake what is in your heart then this by itself shows David to be a moneygrabber. He could of Split, but he wanted the extra doh!

but were are the watchers morals?

There are so many holes in his argument that i could squeeze through and i am not a lithe person..

usually sitting on a high horse somewhere, tutting a lot and being disgusted

[UglyBaby]

No, I never pictured you as a lithe person, funnily enough.

People who spend 24/7 spewing hate threads on forums usually aren't!

[BitterFruit]

I think they have all been a little bit wierd and a bit too keen to look aghast and look heaven-ward at the very mention of prize money..

what is wrong with admitting you can do with the odd £100k?

I think Sophie may be the only one not too bothered...since I am sure she can quickly rack that up with some well-placed mag/modelling deals once she's out.

Apologees if this seems irrelavant and i dont want to bore anyone but i like to go off on one from time to time.

this discussion reminds me of the Milgrim Experiment where a Doctor asked people to administer an electric shock to a person being asked questions by them if they got a question wrong. The fake, but believed by the questioners, screams we're audable and upon a wrong answer the shock voltage was increased to fatal levels. The experiment showed a high magority of people after being co-erced by the Doctor (figure of authority) would take the voltage up to deadly levels, even though they could hear the screams, and they understood the deadly nature of their actions, they continued to ask questions, administer the shock, and raise the voltage and continue.

Well what was happening was normal people we're convinced to disregard their morals and principles because the Doctor was telling them it was ok, he would take the blame not them. That is what happens in Golden balls.

You can be a liar, ( torcherer ) because it's just a game show ( experiment ) and i won't be judged by my actions. The questioners let go of their morals because they had permission, just as David and other contestants do.

I know of that exact experiement can completely agree with you on that, that is what i see David and others as, people if told by a higher authority will do anything.

There is nothing in them that says should i question this or am i doing right, cause when they do that, that is exactly when you transcend the boundaries within which you are enclosed.. but hey thats a great post, you can start a new thread on that.
