Do you think Big Brother should have told Jack what would happen if he took the prize or kept it a secret like saying if he took the prize something bad will happen but not revealing what it was? or was it good telling him what would have happened?

They should have said if he stayed the prize fund would be zero and he would only win the car if he left. See how ballsy he really was.

Yeah that could have been great tbh but with a better prize, I don't think a Car was a good idea imo

[LukeB]

but I do love a big gamble question.

I liked it how it was, only because I like the house as it is at the moment, if he had chosen to take it and gone it would have caused all kinds of drama over the prize fund

[Jamesy]

The way they did it though clearly shown that they wanted Jack to stay anyway. They gave him a stupid dilemma and it was obviously going to be easier for him to stay.

I think if Big Brother never came out with the no prize fund rubbish (which we know would be restored via a task in a few weeks anyway) and if Jack wasn't stupid enough to believe the prize fund would actually be removed then he would have left the house that night and taken the car. He looked pretty ready to leave until BB got to the no prize fund line.

I like that idea!

Actually they may have got a different response had they done this twist halfway through the series.

[lily.]

I don't like this much interfering... at this stage or later stages..

[crazycolaist]

They shouldnt of told him the value of the car, Maybe regulations have something to do with that but I think when he heard its value was only 27k as opposed to 150k to win could see it dropped him off a bit

It was obviously done in a way to pretty much guarantee that Jack would turn down the offer and stay.
What exactly would they have been left with if he'd walked ? A house full of people playing for no prize would just make no sense whatsoever, especially this early in the proceedings!

Another stupid Channel 5 'twist'. A massive anti-climax!

[Withano]

The prize fund should have stayed. It was genuinely a good twist seeing a man choose between winning a car or being a housemate. Telling him the prize fund would disappear is a waste of a half an hour for everybody.

[Jack_]

There was no need for the prize fund part, or at least not the whole prize fund. A) that's not believable and B) it's way OTT regardless.

At the very least they could've said they'd deduct £27,000 from it, that'd be more realistic
