I wouldn't have taken the money and I was surprised Eugene took it.
I would not have taken it, let the winner take it all.

Stuff that. I probably wont ever see that kind of money in my life... the same can be said for most folk. That's why I would have taken it. And, Eugene isn't stupid, he can see Ant's popularity. I'm proud of him for taking it!
I'm not too sure if i would have taken the money, i suppose at the time Eugene couldn't believe his luck that he was being offered that sort of money, fair play to him though hes just got £50,000 for doing nothing at all.

thanx.. at least someone agrees with me.. I was starting to feel outnumbered there lol
of course, allthough Eugene is one of the favourites he doesn't know that, for all he knows he could of been hated so at least now regardless of wether he wins or not hes going to be £50,000 better off, and if he wins then thats an extra £50k

I hinestly cannot say whther or not I would take it.There would eb a lot of factors that I'd base my decision on if I was in there.
But hypothetically if I was in there,I would have probably taken the money,just for personal reasons though,not to be nasty or greedy,but probably because it could be put to good use for me and my family.

At the end of the day its a game show and they are all there to win the money so i dont believe any of them that say they wouldnt have taken it. Good on Eugene i would have done the same none of them have ever done him any favours:hello:
and the best thing is Makosi is kicking herself for not going to the diary room:laugh:

Hi Stropz !! Missed ya but with ya!!- If we're all honest here - we haven't been offered £50 grand and given a minute to decide - Unaware or not - NO doubt my mind -Half the prize in my sky rocket!!, who gets the rest? they fight, I sit & watch it! I'd cry too though!
I cannot imagine what £50k looks like, - before going into the diary room, the prize money was just a mental picture, sitting in front of half of it made it reality for Eugene damn fast! You would have to take it. Anyway, the winner will make that back in no time, especially Anthony with those looks! Nice one Eugene - you'll earn it with the abuse Mak-loosi will dish out now you have her money"... :spin2::spin2::dance::dance::dance:

I think I would have taken the money, yes.
Although you don't know for sure what you would do unless you were put in the same situation.
I would have definitely taken the money. None of the housemates owe each other anything. And whatever Makosi said, I'm convinced she would have taken the money as well.

I'd have taken the money, as I think most people would have. That's what was so poor about the task, where was the loss to Eugene. He gets 50 grand guaranteed, and if he wins he gets a full 100 grand that he would have got anyway. I suppose the only risk to him was that he didn't know if he'd be evicted if he took it but as it was Eugene who had the choice, from his point of view, he has little chance of winning cos he was a latecomer. So damn right I'd take the dosh, and I'd go back into the lounge and laugh in all their faces.

I'm not sure if i'd of took it or not- it must of been a really tuff dicision for him to make! I didn't like the twist though, i just didn't see the point in it. I didn't think that Eugene would have taken it. I think the only person who should get some of the prize fund is the person who wins! x

i don't know i might have took it but i might not as it was quite obvious that it might be a big brother twist something to do with the prize money plus i'd be scared that if i took it i'd be evicted!!

I would have taken the money and so would everyone i've asked about it!! More fool those who wouldn't, Makosi is full of crap, she would have taken the money too, so theres no need to bull about not. All the housemates knew she was lying about that!!!!!!:puzzled:
