The public should be the ones who reward housemates with money - not the ****ing producers.

They can give them money, just not out of the prize fund. We vote for our favourties to get that.

This.

I don't mind the twist, even if I dislike them both.

If it was 50k not from the fund, I'd be fine.

Tomorrow night Big Brother will offer up the pair an agonising decision that “could change their lives forever”.



Big Brother will give one of the duo the chance to win half of the Ł100,000 prize money.



But if they accept the deal, they’ll be evicted immediately.



The other will take the free pass onto the final on August 13.



It’s currently unclear how the decision will be made, and whether or not one of the pair will have to take up the offer.



For the uber competitive boys it’s sure to be a tough decision, while they may get the money they’ll miss out on the final, and the potential of winning.



On the other hand, both have received boos from the crowd and so maybe they’ll want to take the money and run out the back door.



It will also mean that tomorrow night’s live show could be a double eviction.



Deana, Luke A, Becky and Ashleigh are all facing the eviction, with the one housemate who receives the fewest public votes also getting the boot.



Live show producer Jamie Sutcliffe remarked: “Tomorrow’s not a cheer night, big characters get big reactions, we’re going to get a lot of boos.”

The fact that it's half OF THE PRIZE FUND is what makes it so stupid. If it was separate money, then fair enough, you're playing for double of what you could've taken, but with this, the only thing you could gain is the title, and neither of these guys stand a chance at that.

This, it's the fact that they're talking money away from the winner and giving it to someone else which isn't fair.

[Halfwit]

by giving them half of the price money the producers make them basically win bb since they get the same amount than the real bb winner this year, this whole white room has been a bad joke...
everyone who is still throwing money at ch5 after this can't be right in his mind.

yeah right... they want the experience of winning the money, which is handed to them now.

[rionablue]

I'm FURIOUS. The WHOLE prize money should go to the housmate the general public crown as their winner. NO WAY should half of it be offered to two of the least deserving, horrible, vain, chauvinistic creeps. FED UP1111111111111

[whocares]

didnt bb tell them before they went into the white room/decided who was going to go in there that they could win a prize that money couldnt buy? lol

If neither Luke S nor Conor take the cash tomorrow night a twist will decide who wins the free pass to the final #bbuk

Would probably just be the other housemates deciding who wins it.

[Gizmo]

It completely sucks. The show is dead now imo

[reece(:]

They're not getting any more of my money, spiteful bastards.

[Jack_]

I think the thing about taking it from the fund though is it'll piss the rest of the housemates off (well, you'd think). That's the desired effect I would've thought.

I honestly don't even think they think like that.

To be completely honest, they are wankers. They could of just gave one of the lads 25K. But HALF the prize fund?

It's a kick in the balls. It's a poorly thought out twist.

Had Channel 4 of done this, the public would of voted 3 housemates into the white room - and we'd of been informed right from the start, what was going to happen. OR The Housemates themselves would of nominated 3 housemates, in confidentiality - to compete for the prize.

[Flamingjoe]

I couldn't agree more.

[Jords]

A load of old ****e tbh, very disappointing and Ch5 love to anger their fans for 'controversy'

I could tolerate Ł25K or even Ł50K not from the prize money, but this takes the out and out piss.

Shameful.

[anto42]

reminds me of eugene back in bb 6 who took half the prize fund as well

[Jords]

Eugene would have won anyway if he hadnt taken it

Its mainly because of the HMs its being offered to, awarding arseholes that have not been good HMs is disgusting.

I really enjoyed what BB9 did with the Prisoner's dilemma between Lisa and Sara.

They've taken away half of the prize fund to give it to one of those two mongs for sitting in a ****ing room for 3 days?

So only 1 gets the money and if they chose it they get evicted, yeah? And the other gets a pass to the final? Why would either of them want a pass to the final to win the same amount of money they would for leaving, but now with only a 1/5 chance of winning it? It's so poorly thought out and idiotic.

Fair enough if it's 10,000 or 25,000. But half of the bloody prize fund?

It's completely unfair to the winner that the PUBLIC is voting for.

STOP. ****ING. WITH. THE. PRIZE. FUND.

Exactly. It doesnt make any sense, its beyond ridiculus.
Even the fricking crypt manages to be better than this sh*t twist.
Last year they also messed with the prize fund, but at least the top 5 got to share it between them...and that was bad. Then imagine wht this year is.
It's like C5 are trying to get it axed.

That is quite a valid point there. Usually when they have messed with the prize money in the past, it is only when they are down to the last five or six as far as I can recall. On top of that I don't think they have ever made so many last minute changes to a one task that involves the money especially.
