50k straight up. Big brother wants you to have it. All you have to do is leave now and forego the rest.

Please tell me I wouldn't be the only one to have the honour and decency to refuse it? Who else would refuse to be bought and tell them to shove their bribe up their ass?

[Benjamin]

If I didn't think I was going to win, then I would take it. 50k is a lot of money just to turn down. And what do you mean honour and decency, it's a gameshow. The reason they are all on it is for the money, even your beloved Sam, lol.

[Ammi]

..I would take the money, it's only a few days to go so I would have had the experience anyway...

That's funny you say that, the HM you just happen to support refused the money too...isn't that spooky.

[Kyle]

Maybe that's why I like him.

And it's a bribe if big brother offers it you without fan consent.


I sure hope some of you never get high up positions in government.

..that's a bit harsh, I don't see how they need fan consent, we don't know that there isn't a clause in their contracts to say that the prize fund is changeable, I would be surprised if there wasn't..so they're fully aware what can happen and especially as it's been done before..

Not harsh at all, I see nothing to suggest that each and every one of those people would sell you or me out in an instant just for a couple of extra 0's in their bank account.

And I include Sam in that.

..whether they would or wouldn't 'sell us out' we don't know..they don't know us anyway, you mean sell their families/friends out..?...all we've seen of them is their behaviour in a gameshow, so it's wrong to judge them in that way...

[Ammi]

..it's not a bribe anyway, it's a gameshow and it's part of the game..

..having said that I don't agree with them messing with the prize fund, I think if someone enters a game thinking they will win a stated prize then that's what they should win...I expect there's a clause saying it can change though and they're aware of that...

It's a bribe, the whole point of it is to win the show by being voted publicly and if big brother just decided to give you the prize fund in the name of a twist you have cheated the public and even the other housemates.

[Kyle]

So hypothetically if you were in a position of power and someone slipped you 50k to screw over the rest of your employees you would take it?

Employees? I thought they were all HM's...none of them work for Dexter.

..the point of it is to live within the rules of BB, and if they decide to offer it, it's not cheating anyone to decide to take it..BB have made that decision and so the issue would be with BB and not questioning any morals of the housemates because they choose the money...£50,000 would make a huge difference to most people's lives...

[smudgie]

I would have taken the money....but I would not have lied out of my ass about it like Dexter has.

What did he lie about?

VERY true ,he,Gina deserve to win the show the least

[Sandz38]

Yes I would

[RichardG]

Of course I would take the money. The "experience" is great and all but I could put £50,000 to much better use

[Rob!]

I'd probably turn it down because I'd be paranoid there was a twist

[AnnieK]

I absolutely would take the money. I don't owe them any loyalty....I wouldn't screw over friends in the same but in this situation I would absolutely take the money. It doesn't make me corrupt.

Maybe not but you would deserve to have your loyalties questioned. You sold out the house and ideals of fair play in order to secure yourself money that the public never even decided you deserved or not.

..your 'loyalties' are to your family and what that money would mean to them and your own life and if you didn't take it then another housemate would..why would you be loyal to someone you had only known a few weeks above the people you love and care for, that would be foolish imo...

A few weeks? Make that months.

Too much me, me, me in this world. Taking the money has a knock on effect to all those around you, and also makes a farce of a game show that should have given the money to whoever the public deems worthy.

..a few weeks, a few months..?..it makes no difference over the people who are important to you, the people you love..those are the ones it would have a knock on effect with if you turned down the money for another housemate to take and ended up with nothing....

In all honesty that's fine. I know myself where my loyalties lie and it's not with a bunch of people I don't know (or quite often particularly care for). I would rather guarantee some money that would benefit my life and my family's lives. If that makes me a bad person then so be it I'm afraid.
