Increase the Prize Money

[steve_o]

Does anyone think they should raise the prize money this year, say £100,000 for the winner or say £70,000 for the winner and maybe £30,000 for the runner up.

It would round it up to a nice figure.

Yeah I think the winner should get more considering the amount of money the show makes from the phone votes.

:thumbs::thumbs:

I guess it's not so high that the winner can overindulge though!

I think the prize money should be made bigger too

I agree with you about upping the prize money for the eventual winner - 10 weeks is a long time stay in that house, entertaining Britain like they do.:colour:
But I dont think any cash should be given to the runner up - the whole point is to get a winner and the money goes to onje person and one person only.
It doesnt have to go up by too much - 100, 000 - look at Survivor, they get 1 Million!:spin2::spin2::spin2::spin2:

I am gonna be a bit mean http://www.plauder-smilies.de/happy/wink2.gif and say that I don't think the prize money should be increased, or a least not increased over, say £100,000.

I think that the atmosphere between the housemates might be changed with everyone wanting to win the money too much. It could make the experience even tougher, I think, not easier.

And I don't think there should be prize money for the runners up either. That would reward the housemates who play the game and vote tactically. :shocked:

However, they could increase the amount of money that all the housemates get when they are in the house or give them a fixed appearance fee.
That would let them get a share of the profits that Channel 4 and Endemol make from the show.
