i doubt them very much



media guardian.co.uk said that helen got £300,000,a convertible car,a holiday and a rolex?

surely these are wrong.

n e way i doubt the figures.

they r always exaggerated.

[Phat Fran]

hey
i do agree with you. I have learnt not to believe everything that the newspapers say, because they are always like 8th hand and as you sed the r very exaggerated.

When the housemates first come out of the house the newspapers go mad with wild exaggerations about the millions these people are earning.
Then after a few months, when the housemates are old news, the journalists crow on about how little money the BB contestants have made, and how pathetic their attempts at fame have been.
The truth, I suppose is somewhere in between.

Very wise words, mary.

Welcome to TiBB, by the way - don't think I've said hello to you yet.

We certainly learned the hard way last year that the tabloids love the BB housemates when they leave the house, because stories about them sell lots of newspapers. Then, a few weeks later when news starts to dry up ..... they make them up themselves to sell a few more!!!!

cc100 - I'm sure Helen made a tidy sum - but as for the exact amount, only Helen will know that for sure! :helen:

I think it's probably like most things we read in the newspapers - 90% imagination and the other 10% sheer fabrication!!

Don't forget that we're talking about a short term career. And they do have money in fits and starts
