Before it actually happened...

Were you expecting everyone was gonna take the highest possible amounts on offer ?

Gusto Brunt · 19-08-2013, 11:33 AM

Well because it wasn't live I knew the result before I saw it.

Cherie · 19-08-2013, 11:33 AM

No I was pretty sure Dexter was going to go low, but why the Twins got off scott free when they left higher amounts on the board I will never know. I really would like them to have been questioned about it.

They would never question anyone other than Dexter. If the twins took £80,000, they would all be praising them and congratulating them.

Yeah did you see the woman on BBBOTS ?

Did you notice Sam didn't question them over it too ?

Was away last week so didn't see any BBOTs will try and watch this week, what woman?

and that is what I meant, that Sam only questioned Dexter.

Oh just some woman in the audience made the point about the twins and she got booed and heckled for it.

Ah got you.

Bruteic · 19-08-2013, 11:41 AM

I expected Sam to take the highest amount but I was unsure about Charlie.

If all the other HMs saw Jack & Joe both asking if they was actually going to get the money, I think the whole situation with Dexter would of been different.

Brother Leon · 19-08-2013, 11:41 AM

I was expecting the lowest to be about 40k as they would of realised someone would take the whole prize fund if they all went high.

Interesting point !

Yes makes you wonder what would have happened had they all gone highest and Charlie walked away with the £98,000 or so.

jet · 19-08-2013, 12:00 PM

My goodness, why bother ? The whole country and it's mother knows by now Dexter was desperate to walk with the money. I expected the HM's to do much the same as they did.

Only those that haven't really thought about it.

I thought he did at first but now I get what he means.

Just find it a bit sad people think they know what's his motives were and judge him as the villain when he's the hero.

Have to say I was sucked in myself - it was brilliant !

Yeah, in other words everyone is stupid but you. And it wasn't brilliant - he was caught out and made to look a plonker.

agree. i dont see how anyone can say he didnt really know but there was 99k on the gd wall. he claims he didnt see it after he said he looked at all the numbers but then that was the only one he didnt see. oh i see they put that back up there for Charlie so we never really seen 99k on the wall. it was CGI. ok got it.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks he wanted to stay.

Withano · 19-08-2013, 11:43 AM

No the #secretsandlies made them think twice about everything and ruined it. It would have been an interesting twist on every other series. Most people would have chose 10-50k.

Nedusa · 19-08-2013, 11:49 AM

I agree , if you look again at the twist it does not follow that Dexter was the villain or that he deserved the aggro he got from Charlie and Sam.

First of all the order in which they went into the task room was chance and in theory the last person to go in should by rights pick the highest number left on the board (working on the assumption that the other 3 HM would have picked the highest 3 numbers ). This person would then be removed from the house with the money they had picked.

But the twins picked lower than 99K so they were possibly hoping they would be the lowest overall as I think there were still two higher amounts left AFTER the twins had picked.

Also , how did Dexter know what had actually been picked the numbers were random and for all he knew one of the other 2 HM may had already picked a lower number than the 88K he picked.

And finally he had no clue about the twist so didnt know he would be given immunity to final. I think Sam jumped on a "I hate Dexter" bandwagon to promote his own character. sadly though I think it backfired........

Agree he had no idea about receiving immunity.

When he picked I think he wanted to stay.

Slevin · 19-08-2013, 12:26 PM

i agree about the Twins. i made a post about it the day or so after when i was playing catch up and said how they were hoping Charlie and Dex were gonna pick the other two above that number. i got why they went on Dex though since hes been the most sketchy in the house even though they should have been brought up on it as well.

Jords · 19-08-2013, 12:29 PM

I would have took a shot at £30K.

I think their stupid to pass up on grabbing some free money. Shouldnt be over £50K no fair on the winner. Well tbh, I dont like prize fund twists in general.

And that seems more in line with what Dexter said in the room. Common sense says most of them would do a little math, figure out their odds of winning vs the rest of the pack, then choose a number low enough that it won't have them hated on the outside (the 20-40k range).

I suspect that's exactly how it would've played out, too, if any 2 of the others were replaced with Sophie and Gina. Instead he had the twins who overstrategized, Sam who was so cocky he was making sure he was there to win whatever was left, and Charlie who is lucky she can think enough to dress herself each day.

Slevin · 19-08-2013, 12:57 PM

lol its obvious if he didnt really wanna leave like he claimed he would of picked 99k at least to play it safe. he didnt. not that hard to understand he was trying to be sly about it. well he got his 2nd wish at least so thats done.

Exactly, he was trying to be sly & got caught.
