They should increase the prize money, but not by too much. Winning and being on BB should be about more than getting rich. £70,000 is very pleasant, but not enough to retire on.
It would also be nice if the other contestants received some kind of prize. Not alot, but perhaps enough to help prevent it being so easy for the tabloids to lure them with unwise deals before they've had a chance to think about the consequences. This is more relevant for those leaving in the later stages of the show. For example, Penny had weeks of media appearances and making contacts and landed a regular job as a presenter on Liberty Radio over a week before the show ended.
Liz had a single day to establish her name before Brian was crowned King and got the attention. For those interested in a media career, unless you are really popular, it does you favours to leave earlier under the current system.
They could definitely do something to address that by continuing some kind of E4 coverage for a couple of weeks next year. Extended interviews and contestants each introducing their individual highlights etc.
Perhaps to encourage more diverse people (ie NOT just media wannabes) they should consider a more interesting prize like in Germany. I'm sure BB Germany will be taking full advantage and make a couple of extra programes from the prize side of things.
