Default Possible "Cash Cow"?

Just thinking looking at the wooden cow-shaped statue/thing near the bottom of the staircase... could that hold the prize fund inside? I've heard of the term "Cash Cow" before and that came to mind when I saw it. Pic:

Spoiler:



Can't think what else it could be used for really, it also says "Handle With Care" on the side... for effect or? Hmmmm.

Or something LEADING to a split/twist with the prize fund. I can see them doing it again (like with Conor last time) as much as I hate it.

Or it holds alcohol. Has a wine glass on the side doesn't it?

Perhaps, though it looks more like a bull than cow, note the horns.

Cows and bulls are the same animal, the females and males respectively of the same species (cattle), both of which have horns.

They're both "cows" yeah but you'd think if they were using the "cash cow" term they'd use the female "cow".

As I said, both are horned. Farm cattle, which are mostly female, males not abl to produce milk, just have them cut. That looks far more like a cow:


than a Bull:

Bloody hell, now it's a debate over whether it's a realistic cow.

Yeah, but the basic point is all cows are females, and you'd imagine if they were using the cash cow thing that it would have udders.

Not really (though you didn't mention udders, you mentioned horns), it's a wooden storage box roughly shaped like a cow, not a detailed model , it doesn't have a tail either.

Yeah, maybe we're getting into a bit too much detail lol.

"Cash cow" probably won't have anything to do with series anyway

Fixed . I was correcting a false assumption (that cows don't have horns), you were questioning the anatomical accuracy of a wooden storage unit .

Cash Cow is a business analysis term anyway so would it matter if it did or did not have horns, or if it did or did not have bloody udders?

I don't think it will act as a cash cow, as has been mentioned, it has a wine glass on the side of it. Possibly something fragile in there?
