I also think that, in this day and age, they all recognise that they could be presented or perceived negatively, and most of them will also recognise how small their chances of winning are.

Unlike in the very early days, I believe housemates opt to go on BB for very different reasons. Nowadays, a good number will be there to enhance their profile. Some will be there because they fancy a career change, and will hope it might open up possibilities for them. A few might be there for the experience or the prize money.

To me, it’s a gamble, but they know it’s a gamble, and to the average person,£100,000 is a whopping prize if you win.

Beautifully said. I'm a postie so not actually on a lot of money. So I would take the risk. If I was on Big Brother I would genuinely be in there for a mix of reasons. The experience, a chance of winning the money. Possible career change for other opportunities or of course all else could fail and I go back to my job or sell up my house and leave the country.
