Default why were the envelopes different colours

So they could change the scenario question depending on who had what amount to keep who they wanted. Envelopes should have been identical so they couldn't change the question to save who they wanted......

How do you imagine they would have changed it though? Sam was toast either way.

They should have had the names on the envelopes.

They did effectively. BB would know housemates favourite colours. They get to know everything about them before they enter.

They new which housemate would go for which colour. Classic Uri Gellar type mind reading fix.

I thought this too. Like maybe had Jack/Chloe taken it then they'd have said "whoever you vote out will take this from the prize fund"... meaning Sam once again would go.

They had different questions prepared depending on who too which amount...if jack had the 15000 they would probably say it would have been deducted rather than added... if it was fair...they should have had aame colour envelopes.

Makes no difference anyway ...The game is to fight 3 apponents ...you gotta get your house mates on side so that they don't nominate you...you gotta get the public on side so that they don't evict you...and you've got to get BB on side so that he doesn't send you to the cutting room floor or engineer a way to get you out .....BB is every house mates apponent not just Sams....if they did already decide to use the twist to get her out then it would have been because she didn't get get them on her side ...which takes us back to the original point and that is she wasn't as good a game player as Chloe or Danny or the others ...like them or not they were all better game players than her

Very interesting theory, wish we had a mole from channel 5 or something. Wonder what Twitter is saying about it?

I don't remember what site it was on... but there was someone who someone knew inside info into BBUK and the production (they gave proof somehow). They claimed that all twists are pre-planned and aren't made up on the spot. I personally don't believe it but... maybe you will? They said the same kind of bs C5 give when they say "the show is moving in a new direction" and how audiences are always changing.

Yep, you're absolutely 100% spot on. The whole twist was about getting Sam out.

I have no doubts that if Chloe/Jack were chosen to go (never going to happen...even if they had the highest..) there would have been a further twist where they got the chance to snatch the entire prize fund. To advertise this as something that would rock the house or whatever was a ****ing joke.

I know it was a feeble twist, Emma gets more and more banal every week.

The problem with this theory is that Big Brother asked the housemates to open the envelopes BEFORE BB asked the housemates anything.

So the envelopes wouldn't need to be colour coded if there were different question options. They all revealed the amount inside beforehand anyway.

Yes, but they knew who had what because they knew the colour codes.

Brilliant point OP

Everyone involved in the twist will have known that Sam would be the target, in fact Emma just said on BOTS that she thinks it would have been Sam regardless of her amount. But I think if Sam had picked the Ł1000, the scenario given to the HM's would have been "whoever you evict, their amount will be deducted from the prize fund", just to help the HM's make the decision that the producers wanted.

I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories but you're right, there was absolutely no need for the envelopes to be colour coded and if memory serves, it's extremely unusual for this to be the case.

But, again, listen to what I'm saying...

They wouldn't need to be colour coded to know the contents because BB asked them to reveal what they had BEFORE asking the housemates a question.

So if they had different questions based on who had what amount they wouldn't need the different colours.

they could have cut the conspiracy theories by announcing to the public what was going to happen before the event - they didnt

Marsh....the reason they asked that particular question AFTER they had the envelopes was because they knew wot each person had in the envelopes....it was a failsafe method to keep who the wanted.

BUT they opened the envelopes BEFORE anyway therefore a colour code would not be needed in this conspiracy theory.
