Not harsh at all, I see nothing to suggest that each and every one of those people would sell you or me out in an instant just for a couple of extra 0's in their bank account.

And I include Sam in that.

..whether they would or wouldn't 'sell us out' we don't know..they don't know us anyway, you mean sell their families/friends out..?...all we've seen of them is their behaviour in a gameshow, so it's wrong to judge them in that way...

Not at all, 3 of them quite happily sold the house out for a few fancy perks a month or so back I don't see why they wouldn't batter an eyelid over stomping us into the ground over the green eyed monster.

..I honestly don't know what you're trying to say..you asked a question whether people would take the money and some people would..you wouldn't, that's cool, that's your decision...some housemates go in for the money and some for other reasons but I doubt they would go in and put themselves up for such public scrutiny and sometimes humiliation if there was no money involved as well...it doesn't make anyone less moral if they would take the money or more honourable if they wouldn't...BB wouldn't be able to change to prize fund if it was fixed in their contract so they all know what could happen and they've all played their game and survived eviction until now so if one of them doesn't want to risk going away with no money and would rather leave now with £50,000 but forego their moment in an eviction then that doesn't make them any a lesser person than anyone else...

Makes them less trustworthy. Picking money over winning fairly shows what you are as a person.

At the end of the day everybody competed in there to win a prize fund that they believe is entitled to whoever wins in the final, you taking the money deprives them of that chance and also shows that you aren't prepared to win it in the way that was expected of you.

Hence sellout.

..no it doesn't make them less trustworthy at all, it makes them very practical, they have a 1 in 6 chance of winning but they could also lose, so taking the money is a very practical and quite logical thing to do...BB wouldn't be allowed to do it unless it was a clause that they could so all of the housemates, including the ultimate winner know that and know they could go away with less than £100,000...they signed up for that, every one of them..no one would have sold out at all, they'll have played a game, avoided eviction and walked away with £50,000..a pretty good game so long as they all got an equal chance of being that person and it wasn't someone who was 'selected' by BB..the housemate hasn't deprived the winner of anything, if anyone has been 'deprived' then it's by BB alone...

Correct. They will be told that BB can change the rules at any time. BB is meant to play the housemates not the other way round.
The money has been changed a few times. When Liam Mc Gough was given £100K at the beginning of a BB the rest did not walk out. They continued with the game.
The much talked of Aaron made an agreement with Jay to halve the £50,000 when he was waiting to hear which one of them had won because he could hear the crowd chanting for Jay. He never paid up though when he went on to win because he only went in for the money which is why he was such a miserable housemate.
Some of these housemates have a hidden agenda and they really do want the money but at the same time most housemates really do enjoy ten weeks holiday thinking they have no way of winning.
£50,000 is a serious amount of money and if anyone offered it to me I would take it as long as it was legit. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
