Messing with the prize fund
 
I know it's not the first year it's been done and I never like when they do it but this year I think is far more unfair than last year. Atleast last year all remaining HMs got a share (even if some shares were meagre, they all had an equal chance)

I mean why only give three of the 9 remaining HMs a shoot at it? and why only choose from the HMs noms this week?

I also thought it was really unfair the year Eugene took a chunk of the prize fund, eventhough he was my favourite and I don't blame him for taking the cash, I do genuinely believe that if he hadn't he would have won that year.

Munchkins 03-08-2012 10:39 AM

Why couldn't it just be 25k, and the winner gets 75k :(
but now this person gets the same as the winner - idiotic

Gizmo 03-08-2012 10:42 AM

What's annoying is the 50K win is based on family noms. Not the voters who've kept the series going. I wouldn't mind so much if it was based on public vote.

Gillian-73 03-08-2012 10:46 AM

They really haven't got a clue what the viewers want. 50k is a ridiculous amount of money. I agree about Eugene, he would have won had that not happened.

Yeah exactly and as Munchkins said, whoever takes it will end up with the same as the winner. I don't see why we should waste our money voting a winner when the person who left with 8 other HMs still in there gets the same prize. Tbh I'm glad that you can't vote through FB anymore so I won't be tempted to vote anymore

Worst move BB has ever done. Where is the best place to make BB hear our views on this?

Agreed and doubly unfair is the family and friends have been watching the show and voted tactically obviously.

Tbh the winner only gets money for sitting in the house doing nothing it's not like they earned it

They haven't earned it as such but they would be voted for by the public, who spent money on putting them there, just seems a bit of a kick in the balls for people who do spend money voting to then just hand an equal amount to the person who effectively comes 8th. I mean in theory it's a good twist but I think they should have taken less money off the prize fund and either given all the HMs who weren't up this week a shot or used the noms through the whole series rather than just this weeks when the F&F nommed.

Marc 03-08-2012 11:00 AM

Just don't think it's too much of a big deal, none of them horrid people deserve 100k

sarah78 03-08-2012 11:01 AM

50k is a bit much for doing a task all week, and they don't even deserve to have the money, if they were going to spit it it should be 20 or 25k not half of it, i don't like when BB split the money.

Munchkins 03-08-2012 11:03 AM

Also 25k makes it a gamble.
50k makes it a dead cert
Do you risk the chance of 75k, to get a definite 25k?
with the 50k, even if you get to the final you can only win the same amount
This seems, to just be in place to evict a male, since a 4th female in a row leaves tonight.. and they need to even the numbers lol

thesheriff443 03-08-2012 11:07 AM

life is not fair!
its not like any of them have earned it anyway.

thesheriff443 03-08-2012 11:09 AM

sorry got to have a rant its not our money so who fcuking cares!

Do you see that button on your TV remote control, the one that turns the TV off? You can use that, or if that's no good, try turning to another channel when BB is on. They'll hear that :-)

Marc 03-08-2012 11:10 AM

Not going to be shared out with those who voted for them, at at the end of the day I doubt many people are voting for people BECAUSE they want the person to win the 100k. They just want their favourite to win, for the glory of winning. Especially with all the Deana fans, they just want her to prevail over the 'insiders'

Yeah, you're completely ignoring my point though, it's not about who deserves 100k, it just seems ridiculous to have to vote for a winner when the winner gets the same thing as the person who gets 8th place.

thesheriff443 03-08-2012 11:13 AM

people are on the bread line working them selves in to the ground to pay the bills and you lot got the dog that one clown wont get a 100 grand, get a grip reallity.

No need to be so rude tbh - we watch the show (well i do anyway) to vote for someone to win 100k, what's the point of 8th place getting the same
i wouldn't mind 25k..

I completely agree.

If it had been a vote to evict and/or they had put all the HM's up for eviction and evicted more than one before playing around with the prize fund then fine play around with the money all you like as viewers have not spent money getting their favourite into the final.

It's been a bit of a con really. They've basically said vote to keep your favourite in and thanks for handing over all that money but now we'll decide who gets half of it.... but hey, keep on voting and spending as there's a little bit left. :nono:

I agree with this comment. It would be fair if it was based on the public vote

Don't do a Beckys sister "soldiers-dying-in-Afghanistan" on it :nono: I just mean in principle shouldn't the winner get the biggest prize, otherwise why should we all waste our money voting for a winner

Black Dagger 03-08-2012 11:29 AM

It's not the point though.

The winner should be entitled to 100k of the prize-fund, that is what the winner should get.

Now we can basically say Luke S/Conor have that accolade tonight as they get the same amount as the winner.

If it was a seperate 50k then fine, but it's not. :bored:
