Default Would you take the money?

You're in the same position. You've heard the crowds mixed (at best) reaction to your personality and you feel like you've fairly been put into the room. You're now being offered 50,000 if you steal it from the winner and immediately leave with no chance of winning the whole 100k.
Would you take the money and run?

Initially I thought it was a bit of a no brainer but I dunno, seems a pretty lame way to go out after getting so far and with a place in the final guaranteed.. depends on my financial state I guess, 50k is obviously a lot of money but if I thought I could live without it then I wouldn't

At this stage of the series, yes definately.Probably even if I had got nothing but cheers from the crowd too on eviction nights,I still would.
With 9 housemates left,the final looming, I could walk off with 50k, 7 of the others left were going to leave with nothing and I had a chance to go with 50k with the knowledge I wasn't evicted by the public, dead right I would take it and go.

Even if you didn't need or want the money yourself, you could for sure help a good few people who did with 50k.

I'd take it.

You'd only be losing out on 10 days and you'll still get to attend the final anyway. Then it'd be straight off abroad with a nice chunk of money

Yes ,for sure.
They are all in it for the money, and I would be the same.

Not exactly a summer of fun like it used to be so why stay.

It'd be very hard for me, that's a lot of money but I'd love to do BB for the experience and that's the full one at that. I wouldn't care about winning but I'd want to be there from beginning to end so I think I'd probably want to stay.

Why would you not take the money if you were Conor/LukeS. They've gotten boos, they know the public doesn't like them. They won't win and they know it. $50k and forgotten in 3 months versus $0k and forgotten in 3 months. Pretty simple conclusion.

If I knew I had little or no chance of winning the game, I'd take the money and run.

considering most of the people in there are despicable, I would take the money and run. For LukeS or Conner, I don't know if they would want the money or the possibility to win...

I dont think people would turn something like that down but it's really unfair anyway.

If its a straight up 50,000 being offered, either would be crazy not to take it. It would be illogical not to. There are only 10 days left and the maximum prize money left would be 50,000 (assuming the other white room participant does take it.) Luke S. in particular has to take it since he heard the boos and was nearly evicted. Connor seems to think he has chance of winning.

It would also be the lamest twist in history if a flat 50k is offered up front. One hopes 50,000 is the maximum but they dont know how much bb is willing to offer and incremental offers are made to tempt them. Surely one would buzz out around the 10,000 mark if not sooner. If I recall on bb australia, which came up with the white room concept, the person buzzing out took a ridiculously low amount leaving a lot of money on the table.

1 out of 1 chance at 50k or a 1 out of 5 to 7 (they don't know for sure) chance at 50k. You'd have to be really lousy at math to look at that and consider saying no a good idea.

Not to mention the fact that you have 10 days of good press coverage guaranteed whereas coming 3rd or 4th gets you swamped out by the winner and celeb BB.

Deffo take the money. Only drawback is you have to do a week of BOTS!!

I'd pay 50K to get into the house for a week, so no.
