Would that also apply if you were given a bung of 50k to keep your mouth shut if you witnessed a crime?

How far would you go for your families financial security?

..that's where you're being offensive, there's no similarity at all between a gameshow and a being a witness to a crime...people are 'teased' with money all the time in gameshows, it's all part of it and has no bearing on their morals at all...

To be honest I would kill for my family and again if that makes me a bad person then so be it. BUT your analogy is quite off as the situations are completely different.

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

..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...Ł50,000 would change most people's lives in some way....

If we were in the final week anyway, and I thought I had no chance at all of winning it, of course I would take the money

Edit. Actually even if I thought I had a chance of winning, I would still take the money. A guaranteed 50k over a 1/5 chance of double that?

[Ace]

If I wasn't first or secind in the popularity poll, of course I'd take it. It would a no brainer.

[Patrick]

If I was in a position like Hazel and knew I was hated, then yeah I'd take it and run.

If I still had a chance of winning - I'd stay to be in the final.

[joeysteele]

Definitely yes.

[Sandz38]

It's not a crime though is it?? It's a tv show so yes if it meant my kids had some security for them in future then yes I would take it..btw just so you know I work hard 12 hour shifts to pay for my children my youngest is 13 weeks old and I'm going back to work early to pay for her upkeep sharing her care between myself and my partner we work in the same building he is working 4 days 12 hours per day I'm doing 3 days 12 hours we work hard so yeah I would take the cash

[Kizzy]

It does appeal to a certain Machiavellian attitude to cut and run, and people like conor and dexter fit that stereotype very well.
They know it's unlikely they will win based on their own merits so decide to 'take' what they can.

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.

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

[Brother Leon]

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.

[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
