prize fund

[Tozzie]

If you were offered half the prize money at this stage of the game would you take it? I'm not sure if I would really but I'm kinda swaying to the fact that I may think to hell with it and sod off with it, these days its a dog eat dog world and £50 grand is a lot of money. What about you? Apologies if there has already been a thread about this.

[RichardG]

100% i'd take it, why wouldn't you? I'd trade "the experience" for £50,000 any day :joker:

[Suze]

I would take it, yeah. I would have endured enough weeks in there, so why not.

[HBB1508]

I'd take it for sure - this close to the final why not?

[Livia]

I'd take it in a heartbeat.

[karezza]

Those horrible twins were bitching about Dexter saying he would take £50,000 if the got the chance.

[Tozzie]

bitching about Dexter? :shocked:horror.........NEVER! LOL I think most people would take it.

[Johnnyuk123]

I'd pay 50 k to leave the twins inside once the winner is out.

[smudgie]

Why would you even think about not taking it?

[reece(:]

Definitely, a few extra days wouldn't bother me if I was getting potentially life changing money.

[Sandz38]

Yeah fame is short lived once leaving bb house :)

[Patricia4]

Take it for sure.

[Holly Christmas]

:hugesmile:hell yeah I'd take it. Wouldn't see me for dust.....

[sampvt]

what if you were asked to campaign for some money but you needed to come clean in order to get it. the biggest shock wins.. lol,lol,lol,lol,

[MrWong]

I'd take it. 50k is a lot of money.

[Marc]

Definitely take it, they'll all earn about £100k when they leave anyway/mag deals etc.

[Scream]

Yeah but I'd be worried that it was a lie and I'd just leave without the money :'(

[Suze]

Yeah but I'd be worried that it was a lie and I'd just leave without the money :'(

You just have to take that chance :D I know I would.

[Gillian-73]

I'd take it without thinking twice!

[Nedusa]

So it's not about the honour and fame of winning Big Brother but rather trying to win some or all of the prize money.

So now it really is just another reality TV gameshow and the money is the real prize not actually winning the show.....?????

[Seanbon]

Unless you were 100% sure of winning,which you couldn't be,considering Gina's fall from grace in a few weeks,you'd have to take it! (Obviously,getting it written down in a legal document first!?!)
Otherwise you risk being an also-ran with a 10min interview on Monday,and then into oblivion.
No offense Nedusa,but it's a while since anyone went into BB for the pride of winning.imo! The thing that motivates most HM's is the prize money,or the perceived money making activities afterwards!?! I'd love to go in for the experience,but I'd be too "boring" for the general public?? Just tooooooo nice!!!:xyxwave:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I wold take it without hesitation. I'd be fine if Dexter did the same. 50 grand is a lot of money. :hugesmile:

[fingers]

If they mess with the prize fund tonight keep an eye on Sam, while he may spout **** about not being in there for the"munn-nay" he hasn't yet learned how to hide his displeasure when things don't go HIS way!! lol

[user104658]

At this stage in the game, you'd be an idiot not to, unless you have an established high earning career. If it was in the first week and you'd wanted to be in Bog Brother for years then giving it up for money might be stupid... but with less than a week to go? You've already had the "full experience", taking the money on top of it is a no brainer

Even if you're a gambler.

You've got 50k in your hand and you're up against 5 other people with no REAL way of knowing what the public is thinking, so you have to consider your chances of winning to be 6/1... but gambling 50k for a chance to win 100k is only even money. Taking even money on a 6/1 shot is absolutely insane.

Personally I'm NOT a gambler anyway, so I wouldn't even risk it up against one other person. I'd take the money and go. I've got a family and still have nearly £15000 of student debt 5 years after leaving University... just getting rid of that debt would make a difference to our monthly income. Wiping that out and having £35k on top of that... yes please! Especially as A) people don't make a fortune off of Big Brother now anyway and B) 5 days from the end, there's nothing to be gained in that sense from staying longer anyway. You'll still get the extra bit of money available from the little scraps of media stuff.

I've always said I'd walk away from Deal Or No Deal after a couple of rounds if the offer started to push much past £10,000... even if I had loads of red boxes left :joker:. A bird in the hand, and all that.

I've noticed that about one or two of them,or to be fair all of them!!:joker:

Well spotted!

[user104658]

That's why I find people talking about narcissism this year totally pointless. It's like they specifically picked every housemate based on that criteria! Every one of them is has been entirely self-centred... Even Jackie, and her own daughter was in there!

[Johnnyuk123]

I hope whoever takes the 50k then leaves the house with the case of money and Emma gets them to open it and inside it is really 50k, but it's 50k in Vietnamese Dong which in sterling is about £1.52.

[pcro]

absolutely

Couple of years ago we had a right ol' dingdong about Vietnamese currency! lol

[CaudleHalbard]

Why assume anyone is going to get half the prize fund?

The finalists might all get an equal share.

Twins only entitled to a half share each! lol!

Yes didn't something happen one year where they had to decide who got what at the end. When Aaron won I think.

That wouldn't be much of a shock,since it's already been done!!

[Marcus.]

no i would not

[alex_front2]

When Gina was revealed as the favourite in the popularity rating task the twins snd hazel began to discuss "taking 50". HMMMMMMmmm.

[Videostar]

Obviously I'd take the money...who wouldn't. lol

I sort of hope Sam gets the cash, he doesn't deserve it of course, but it will take away the sympathy vote for him and he'll be less likely to win. :D

Maybe Dexter will take the money and use it for that trip with Charlie to Vegas! :dance:

[Videostar]

Only if he leaves her there and comes straight back...she's poison.

I want Dexter to win, he wont win if he gets given half the prize fund tonight.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'm joking! lol I wonder how they will decide who gets the money. Maybe they all have to agree on one person? In that case Sam would get it I think.

[thesheriff443]

I would not take the money, all of you that would take the money don't believe that you could win, the win is worth more than the money to me!.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

50 grand, sheriff! it's a lot of money. :hugesmile:

[thesheriff443]

50 grand, sheriff! it's a lot of money. :hugesmile:

in a third world country yes, but not in London.
no amount of money can buy the win!
