Maybe not but you would deserve to have your loyalties questioned. You sold out the house and ideals of fair play in order to secure yourself money that the public never even decided you deserved or not.

..your 'loyalties' are to your family and what that money would mean to them and your own life and if you didn't take it then another housemate would..why would you be loyal to someone you had only known a few weeks above the people you love and care for, that would be foolish imo...

A few weeks? Make that months.

Too much me, me, me in this world. Taking the money has a knock on effect to all those around you, and also makes a farce of a game show that should have given the money to whoever the public deems worthy.

..a few weeks, a few months..?..it makes no difference over the people who are important to you, the people you love..those are the ones it would have a knock on effect with if you turned down the money for another housemate to take and ended up with nothing....

In all honesty that's fine. I know myself where my loyalties lie and it's not with a bunch of people I don't know (or quite often particularly care for). I would rather guarantee some money that would benefit my life and my family's lives. If that makes me a bad person then so be it I'm afraid.

Would that also apply if you were given a bung of 50k to keep your mouth shut if you witnessed a crime?

How far would you go for your families financial security?

..that's where you're being offensive, there's no similarity at all between a gameshow and a being a witness to a crime...people are 'teased' with money all the time in gameshows, it's all part of it and has no bearing on their morals at all...

Yup. Agreed.

Offensive? You got to be kidding me?

I hope nobody goes out into the real world from here they would be offended by everything....

..you asked a question then judged people for their reply because they would take the money, I'm aware of the 'real world' and £50,000 would make a lot of difference to most people in that real world..they're not breaking any laws, hurting anyone or divulging any national secrets or anything, they're being offered to forego their eviction for some cash which if they don't take then another housemate will..they're not cheating anyone, if you see that as cheating then it's BB who have done that cheating and not that housemate...if you were asking whether a housemate would be right to take it, then that's fine, people will give their opinions on that but please don't judge a forum of people who £50,000 would make a huge difference to because they would choose to take it and would have participated in a game and have no control over that choice they were given by the people who make the game rules....

Well said Ammi, I don't get that comparison whatsover.

To be honest I would kill for my family and again if that makes me a bad person then so be it. BUT your analogy is quite off as the situations are completely different.
