The prize money could be lowered to about £17,000. This would pretty much drown out those with gameplans and ensure ONLY people who'd give a crap about BB would go in.

Thoughts?

Because I think it'd work perfectly...

Drown out the gameplans? Are you serious.
We need to drown out the fame hungry skanks who ruin it year after year.

BB was essentially a social experiment/game show with a prize money to fight for. That is the whole point of trying to survive eviction each week. Like surviving each week on X Factor is to get closer to the prize at the end.

Although Channel 5 may ensure it takes place in a shed with two video cameras and a 10p mix prize given their low budget.

What is it? C5's thing arista?

Not quite, £17k or £100k - that's money that most people want. No prize fund at all - not that would drown out the "game planners" but people seem to forget that BB is a game and people go in there with some kind of idea of how they're going to be. If you don't like "game planners" then you're better of watching the Antiques Roadshow.

It's a reality show, not a gameshow. Without a prize fund, people who have gameplans (like Rachael and Sophie) won't go in and bother.

Yes but what's the goal? The needs to be an end result.
It's like X Factor stopping giving out contracts. Without the record deal there is zero point in working to try and survive each elimination.

It is a game show...

But yeah abit of both tbh.

Lol how did you go from 100k to random 17k? O.o

But yeah lowering the prize money would be better for the show = more money used elsewhere

[SocietyIsRuined]

They still wouldn't care. The amount of fake romances would triple because of the money from the trash mags.

Put the prize money up to £1m and take it down with any rule break or disrespect shown to Big Brother.
