example of a good one, something that really tested them. Or the Second HoH competition in BB9 where they had to dress as monkeys and hold on to vines.

Though i see your point on this making people more competitive and what not, it wouldnt take too smart of a person to realize it all ends up in the winners hands anyways at the end of the show. They did this all last summer for BB Aussie and it bothered me because they were saying "so and so has 50,000 dollars". Well no they didnt, unless they won it all, then they would have 250,000 dollars (or whatever the prize was).

It might make some dumb people try harder in the house, but for anyone with half a brain, common sense tells you it doesnt matter if you have it all but 1 persons at the finale, if you dont win ALL yours goes to the other person, giving them it all. Just not worth it in my honest opinion.

Maybe if you got a house full of Glyn (whom i LOVED) & Nikki's it would work, otherwise, no.

The only way the prize fund thing works is if it stops at the final two, so whoever finishes second loses their cash but the winner doesn't get it - they only get what they've earned.

I think just having it as a reminder of what is at stake is enough. The only change i would make to the Aussie way, is that they would decide who they were to give it to in the DR before they left the house so they didn't have an idea of who was likely to win.
