Can't stand her.

The choice was keep it yourself or put it back in the prtize fund.

Yep just like Joel used £2.5k for a pizza, Chloe used £5k to keep for herself, same difference, both was money that would otherwise have been given to the winner

[Amy Jade]

I don't get it either, I feel it's just people grasping onto anything possible slate her.

She took none of the prize fund. She took money offered to her that would have fallen into the prize fund if she refused...good on her for taking the cash!

[Vanessa]

She says they can't be selfish. Has a go at anyone who wastes "Danny's money", then takes 5 grand for herself. GET HER OUT!

It wasn't part of the prize fund yet and you'd justify it if Cristian took it so

Cristian is not the one calling people who waste the prize fund money selfish. She gave Joel, Nick and Jack such a hard time about it, then she takes the money herself. Hypocrite. Calls others selfish, but she's no better.

[Papillon]

Chloe & Sam combined lost over 70K of the prize money during the Cashbomb Nom Task.

Through out this week HMs were trying to add money to the pot to raise it for the winner, 1,000 here 2,000 there.

Every time someone spent some of the prize money or in her opinion wasn't playing for the team, she went ape chit.

Chloe didn't even encourage or insisted Jack took the phone call from his Father yesterday even though she knew Jack had £0 in his sack. This really was out of order considering Jack didn't even get his letter from home.

Yes technically the 5K that was offered to Chloe wasn't even part of the cash pot (yet) but it could have been.
Chloe have said through out the series she wasn't in BB for the money "just for the experience". Through out this week Chloe's actions has proven otherwise.
IMO Taking the money smacks hypocrisy.

The question was: take the money yourself OR PUT IT BACK IN THE PRIZE FUND. It was some of the hundred k she lost the in the first place for jabbering on in the task after being told they must not talk.

thats just not true. Anyone that can't see the nasty game that Chloe has been playing this last week has to be wearing rose coloured spectacles

I'm a woman, I think she's a selfish hypocrite and want her to go Friday, what's your point?

It's far more sexist to claim someone will be evicted because they are a woman than to judge people on their actions regardless of gender, race or colour.

The only point I made was that the public is always far more critical of women than men, and the public always waits for an opportunity to take down a female front runner. Corin, Alex, Deana, Gina, Ashleigh, and now Chloe. This is nothing new.

Again. It is a big majority of women that vote. Are you saying that your fellow women are wrong?

That's actually not a world away from taking from the prize fund. The money being offered comprises of the money deducted from the prize fund in the first place. Anyone who chooses to take the money for themselves rather than putting it back into the prize fund ("back into" being the important part) is essentially taking from the prize fund IMO.

Of course, I don't have an issue with her choice, I'd have done the same. But then, I wouldn't have spent the past week being all high-and-mighty about it either.

[Miss Nicole]

I love Chloe, they have all made mistakes at some point and it just makes them human, I actually don't think what she did was wrong though.

[DemolitionRed]

Was she the only one who took the 5k?

No, Rylan said Chloe wasn't the only HM who kept the 5K.

[kandykakes123]

Chloe is definitely a hypocrite the same way Harry would have been a hypocrite if she had taken the money for herself. Then she cries when you point out something that she does wrong instead of owning up to it and apologising. I loved her as well. But that hypocritical cry baby quality of her is not on

[jaxie]

I think Harry may have as well. I started another thread about it.

[Niamh.]

agree ^ It wasn't her money, it was a test like everything else, it's money that was only given to her because of the add to/subtract from cashbombs involving the Prizefund

[RichardG]

The £5000 was originally part of the total prize for the winner of £150,000 but was removed at the beginning of the twist as punishment for people talking. She had the opportunity to add it back to the fund, or take it for herself. It would only really be "her money to give" if the housemates had successfully raised the prize back up to the original £150,000, and the £5000 was an additional extra that could raise the fund to higher than this. I totally don't blame her, most people - including me - would've done the same, but t definitely does make her look a bit silly after the fuss she's made all week about any money being taken away from what the winner deserves.

as long as she doesn't mind looking a bit two faced about it all its fine she can have the money

[Pink Pegasus]

I think it just depends on the way you view it.

The people who were offered money I don't see it as being really their money.

They are being offered money for a chance to give them the option of rebuilding the prize fund for the eventual winner.

It's not like the prize fund is still intact and this is just an extra 5000 they are offering to certain people with the option to keep it or add to prize fund.

No matter what way it was worded by BB, Chloe was given the option to basically return 5000 to the prize fund that she contributed (amongst others) to dropping in the first place or else to pocket it for herself and she chose to pocket it.

This does lessen the overall prize fund so in a slightly more indirect way perhaps than Jack/Joel, is still 'taking away' from a figure that could very easily have been higher for the winner if she just said a simple no.
I know it's not 'taking away' from the current prize fund figure on the plasma screen but imo the money on offer to each of them is just part of the original prizefund anyways that they are meant to be trying to rebuild. I don't see it as just some extra treat or prize that is being offered, it's part of the money that they helped to lose and supposedly want to regain again for the sake of the winner.

She goes on and on about how everybody should want the winner to have as big a prize fund as is possible but doesn't apply that reasoning to her own actions. That is why she is a hypocrite.

Wonderfully put as usual
