Havent watched much last few days so how much will the prize money be for the winner?

[The_Long_Run]

My guess is £100,000

[WAYNEEBRUM]

didnt they lose it though or was that a task?

[Niamh.]

they got £26020 back so far (once Siavash continues to wear the costume) I reckon they miight pick up another £20K-£30K before the end

[The_Long_Run]

Jus game playing by BB. The prize fund will be massaged back to £100,000 by evictions of Friday is my guess.

I dont know will it though, they dropped alot of the prize fund one the other years as well didn't they? Can't remember which year. Also, the year Anthony won Eugene got £50K and Anthony got £50K

If it's a pathetically low amount (compared to the supposed original £100,000) i wouldn't be at all surprised if Davina announces to the winner that the full amount was always safe and that it was all a hilarious BB style joke played on the housemates to get them to do stuff (which translates as a cheap way of getting the housemates to provide enopugh footage for the nightly 'Highlights' Show without having to spend any cash on or put any thought into good tasks for the final week).

I think if they get the amount up past the £50,000 mark BB will stick with the story and save themselves 40 or 50 grand to boot.

If the HM's only managed to get the total up to £30,000 or something i think there would be ructions from the press and the Offcom type people if that's all the winner was awarded after publicising a prize of £100,000.
I know they've got their "we reserve the right to change the rules at any time" rubbish but stating the prize is a certain amount and then changing that isn't changing a 'rule'. It's basically fraud and i'm sure they'd be in trouble for it from someone.

Anyone got any thoughts on that ?

I guess they could say, well the house mates broke rules so it was their own fault which they couldn't argue much about but they provided good(ish) TV by doing it so I think it would be very mean of them to not give the winn er a decent amount

[Shasown]

Nadia only won £63500 in BB5, Anthoney in bb6 only got £50,000, so it wouldnt be the first time the winner hasnt recived the full 100K

Yeah, that was the year I couldn't remember Nadias year, their prize money was dropped for punishments I think as well and it wasn't put back to the full amount
