Yes

The biggest mistake was the producers randomly reducing the prize fund to £0 for no reason if he left. Did they seriously think he'd leave after he heard that?

i think they should have just offered him 50k of the prize fun so he would have taken it

It was good until Jack didn't take the free car.

Obviously set up for Jack to win though. Flash a car at Jack, but tell him he has to leave and the prize fund would be removed. Jack thinks everyone will hate him (when all he really wants to be is liked) so says no. The thick public at home think of him as a nice and genuine guy, putting friendship ahead of a prize, thick public vote for him to win at the end.

Calling it now, Jack will win BB16, yawn.

I would have rather had the money, I don't like cars

Genuinely nothing happened, the only development was Nick nominating which he would have done eventually anyway

...no, of course not. :umm2: When you think of the terrible twists there've been over the years, this doesn't even rank on the scale.

I didn't see the point of the crowd outside x

I agree, the choice between being a housemate or having a car is a difficult one but it was made piss-easy he was told there would be no prize fund left.

Complete anti-climax. I wanted drama... I wanted someone who would actually take the car. I think we all knew Jack wouldn't take it anyway.

Does this mean everyone is going to predictably not nominate Jack in the house now due to his climax, and will he predictably become the real winner? I hope not, because the whole series will be a bit of an anti-climax.

I'd like to think that the housemates would want him out knowing that he is the favourite among the public, but then he has actually just saved one of them £150,000 - whoever wins, so they'll not go too hard on him now. Yawn, Yawn, Yawn.

I just don't want the public to want him to win because they think he's sweet, and he put his fellow housemates before a £27,000 car, and ugh... I hope to God this isn't going to be predictable.

Really ?? what was great about that - it was utter tripe and totally Pathetic

Too true :sleep:

Emma literally just admitted on BBBOTS, that nobody (presuming the execs/producers) thought that 3/4 days in anyone would decide to take the car. So it was a waste of time anyway?

Just as if they would have really taken the prize fund away !! What rot , they would have earned money back - who would stay if there was no prize fund ? Utter shyte the whole thing !!!! BB producers think the viewing public are complete knobheads :sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep:

It would have been better if he had to give the car to someone else and then they had to leave. I wonder how many would have been jumping up and saying pick me?

People are forgetting the BB10 launch twist which involved nothing more than one person being asked to shave off their eyebrows than drawing them back on.

This would have worked better without the prize fund element, or had it been to take £25-£50k off the prize fund and leave. It's not the worst twist ever but it was poorly executed - the production is so poor nowadays and BB repeatedly interupting himself to tell HMs to be silent really makes the show look unprofessional.

Am I the only person here that doesn't give a crap about cars, and would have rather had the money?

Would have been better if he was offered the actual prize fund to leave although the twist would have still flopped since Jack wouldn't be smart enough to take the money and run.

This

Not quite...he can't drive...:joker:

This. They probably knew Jack wouldn't take the car, and that it would make him look good to the public.

Jack does seem to be the producers' favourite, considering what I heard about BOTS bigging him up recently.

It was silly and pointless, yet I somehow did enjoy it. The housemates were very on edge and had interesting reactions.

As as twist it failed, but as a psychological game it succeeded.

No!Final pass was the worst ever!

It had the potential to be great but the outcome was too predictable. To throw in a rushed nomination 'twist' after it failed was pitiful.

It was more pointless than worst twist ever.
It didn't even change the house dynamics. The only thing we got was a foul-mouthed Jack in the process.

In a way, it's good as I've been enjoying the house atmosphere, and don't want it to change for some silly twist.
