If I was offered 50k to leave on the first day, I'd take it. Never mind with a few days left.

Let's be honest, it's not a journey in the BB house and I doubt I'd learn anything about myself I didn't already know. That money would pay a huge chunk of mortgage off, and keep Mollie in kibble for another 2 weeks at least.

That's a position that I'd take over any perceived experience.

Dexter certainly doesn't owe a single one of those housemates any loyalty, they have all at some point been nasty buggers towards him.

Would take it in a heartbeat. Even if I was fave to win you are winning what is being offered as someone else in there would obviously take it.

..I don't think any of them owe each other anything over themselves Tozzie, and it has nothing to do with honour or being selfish, if BB offered it and so long as it was offered fairly so that everyone had an opportunity then accepting it would be extremely logical as opposed to taking the risk of losing and having no money at all...£50,000 would change most people's lives in some way....

They know it's unlikely they will win based on their own merits so decide to 'take' what they can.

Now now Kiz you cannot compare Conor and Dexter, two totally different characters

Personally I don't mind BB messing with the prize fund now, in Aarons year they had not done it before so I thought that was unfair, but now it has been done twice, the HMs must expect it. Personally I think I would take the money

[Ramsay]

Anyone that says they would refuse it hands down without even thinking about it have got to be joking..50K straight up instead of taking a 1/5 chance of getting 100K? yeah i'd take the 50

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.
