Default Why is the prize money so low?
For such a popular show I think £50,000 is low. I just watched Paradise Hotel which only lasted 7 episodes and the winners got $250,000 USD

I think whilst the show is as big as it is the prize money is irrelevant so it doesn’t matter. No ones going in to win the prize money.

They get a free holiday for two months and the platform to make money afterwards.

If anything, 50k is too much for a few weeks lounging about in the sun.

There are people who were on the show, winners and top players for popularity, worth a million to 4 million now... none of them want the £50, 000... they are all there for the money after.

I've always felt they should increase the prize money. 50k isn't that much seeing as how they'd make more after the show.

But when the post-show earnings are so large especially for the winners, it makes the whole prize money useless.

It’s why the Love or Money twist is completely irrelevant - if one of the winners leaves with no money it literally doesn’t matter because they’d make it back, and more, in no time at all.

But if someone steals it'd make great TV!

such a cheap show to make, they are tight, that said they do nothing but lie around and ask other people 'where's your head at' or shrug and say 'it is what it is' it baffles me that BB is dead and this lives
