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.

[smudgie]

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

[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.

What did he lie about?

[Sandz38]

Yes I would

[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.

[RichardG]

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

..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..

[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.

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.

..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...

What part of hypothetical don't you understand?

..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...

Not at all, 3 of them quite happily sold the house out for a few fancy perks a month or so back I don't see why they wouldn't batter an eyelid over stomping us into the ground over the green eyed monster.

[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.

..I honestly don't know what you're trying to say..you asked a question whether people would take the money and some people would..you wouldn't, that's cool, that's your decision...some housemates go in for the money and some for other reasons but I doubt they would go in and put themselves up for such public scrutiny and sometimes humiliation if there was no money involved as well...it doesn't make anyone less moral if they would take the money or more honourable if they wouldn't...BB wouldn't be able to change to prize fund if it was fixed in their contract so they all know what could happen and they've all played their game and survived eviction until now so if one of them doesn't want to risk going away with no money and would rather leave now with £50,000 but forego their moment in an eviction then that doesn't make them any a lesser person than anyone else...

..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...

[Vicky.]

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?
