Initially I guess the competition aspect was secondary to the concept of filming people living in a house together. £70k was always an odd amount, but I think they went with it as it was roughly equivalent to the prizes dished out in the European versions.


Ironically I think £100,000 seems to be a much bigger prize now than it did a couple of years ago - partly due to the recession, partly due to various premium rate phone in scandals seeing prizes on other game shows dropped - although if the show had revamped as it should have done in recent years, I would have upped the prize money to £250,000 - a nice sizeable amount, but not enough to make it all about the money, which £1m would do.
