I know money isn't the be all and end all, but don't you think for whoever wins this contest, a £70,000 sum is a little small for having to put up with what they have..
..The almost constant bitching and backstabbing, it's a wonder any housemate wanted to stay(good on Sandy I say)!
The tasks have bordered on pathetic and the way some housemates have acted in there, probably insures most of us wouldn't give them the time of day in the real world.
On the other hand more money perhaps might attract the wrong sort of person to the show, but then the producers should be careful on who they let in..they obviously weren't his year!!
In your heart of hearts, if you were put through this for eight weeks i'm sure your head would tell you you're worth more than £70,000
it's the taking part..it's the challenge...it's the experience..fair enough, but every difficult task in life deserves a reward..c'mon c4..cough up!

Hi monty - don't think we've met before!

We've had this debate before about whether £70,000 is a reasonable prize for the winner of Big Brother. The general consensus was, I think, that the prize money should have been increased, both last year and this year, but not by an excessive amount - say to £100,000 for the winner.

And I recall saying that I wouldn't do it for £1 million! Especially not if I'd been in this year's programme.
