Default Would you take the cash?
Imagine you were on BB. Had been in there for 8 weeks. Then the week before the final you get offered 50k...half of the prize fund to leave.

(Lets also assume that if you did not take the cash, the winner wouldnt get the full 100k either, they would still get 50k...just to get the moral issues out of the way )

Would you take it?

I certainly would. You have HAD the BB experience, and its a chance of a big wedge of cash. Yes it would be nice to be in the final, but you have no guarantee of winning anything...

Yes yes and yes.

I would have taken the money and walked off on day one if I were given the chance.

Deffinitely, and I wouldn't do all the crappy jobs for BBots or get a 'manager' and go to silly clubs for little money..

Once I'm out I'd want nothing to do with it (but probably something in the contract to say you have to stick around and do BBots..)

Absolutely...

I'd risk being disliked and booed when coming out by doing so.

Nah. Not if I had a chance of winning.

You could probably get a bit of money afterwards for magazine deals, TV appearances etc. If you're that desperate.

Damn right. I'd even take the Ł50k if it meant the winner getting nothing, or even if it meant the winner getting Ł50k instead of Ł1m

It would be just "a bit of money" nowadays - 97.5% of the GBP have absolutely no interest in BB .....

The days of Ł3k PAs, Ł30k pantos and Ł100k magazine deals are long gone .....

Yes, I would do this too

I just thought I would try and get the moral issue out of the way...for those who would feel guilty about doing something like that. Myself not being one of them

I don't think I would, looking back 20 years later I think going to the final of Big Brother and maybe even winning would mean more to me than Ł50,000 would

I would grab it with both hands. Anyone offer me a Ł50,000 freebie. Too right, mortgage free and a bit in the bank. Lovely.
