I did not get as far as he (or she?) did and I don't believe I would have,
but,
I did pull mine too.
Apparently this person makes an astonishing amount of money. I don't know what the hell they do for a living but I want to make 100,000+ for 3 or 4 months work!
Wow!
Even still I would NOT accept that reason if this was BB1 or early on.
People did put aside high-paying jobs because the life experience was something beyond money.
I remember early BB's where one said they would have PAID 500,000 because the experience changed their entire life for the better.
Now I DO understand it.
The entire thing is no longer a brave and life-changing socio-psychological challenge of a lifetime but a bunch of idiots who do reality shows like a summer job and already know every stupid thing about it,
and,
rather than come out to great insights, experiencing notoriety and being commended - people come out to disgusting humiliation on rubbish television and really the most immature nonsense.
Up until BB9 I had always thought it would be the most amazing experience and one I'd give up a job for.
I'd agree with the family to arrange it.
If it COST me money to get it all done - Id have found a way.
After seeing BB10 the entire 'magic' of the whole idea fell away and although I do not know if I would have made it in - I just thanked God I never did.
Put it this way - I used to HATE HMs who walked out because they threw away opportunities most just wish they had. Not for 'fame' but to test themselves, to see if they could meet the challenge.
I used to.
Then BB10 Tom walked out after a few days I did not blame him for a minute!
Good!
I just remember thinking "Id have done it too" and I fully understood it and no blame.
I say good for the person here. I think they made the right choice.
