Before it actually happened...

Were you expecting everyone was gonna take the highest possible amounts on offer ?

[Gusto Brunt]

Well because it wasn't live I knew the result before I saw it.

[Cherie]

No I was pretty sure Dexter was going to go low, but why the Twins got off scott free when they left higher amounts on the board I will never know. I really would like them to have been questioned about it.

They would never question anyone other than Dexter. If the twins took £80,000, they would all be praising them and congratulating them.

Yeah did you see the woman on BBBOTS ?

Did you notice Sam didn't question them over it too ?

[Bruteic]

I expected Sam to take the highest amount but I was unsure about Charlie.

If all the other HMs saw Jack & Joe both asking if they was actually going to get the money, I think the whole situation with Dexter would of been different.

[Brother Leon]

I was expecting the lowest to be about 40k as they would of realised someone would take the whole prize fund if they all went high.

[Withano]

No the #secretsandlies made them think twice about everything and ruined it. It would have been an interesting twist on every other series. Most people would have chose 10-50k.

Interesting point !

Yes makes you wonder what would have happened had they all gone highest and Charlie walked away with the £98,000 or so.

Was away last week so didn't see any BBOTs will try and watch this week, what woman?

and that is what I meant, that Sam only questioned Dexter.

Oh just some woman in the audience made the point about the twins and she got booed and heckled for it.

Ah got you.

[Nedusa]

I agree , if you look again at the twist it does not follow that Dexter was the villain or that he deserved the aggro he got from Charlie and Sam.

First of all the order in which they went into the task room was chance and in theory the last person to go in should by rights pick the highest number left on the board (working on the assumption that the other 3 HM would have picked the highest 3 numbers ). This person would then be removed from the house with the money they had picked.

But the twins picked lower than 99K so they were possibly hoping they would be the lowest overall as I think there were still two higher amounts left AFTER the twins had picked.

Also , how did Dexter know what had actually been picked the numbers were random and for all he knew one of the other 2 HM may had already picked a lower number than the 88K he picked.

And finally he had no clue about the twist so didnt know he would be given immunity to final. I think Sam jumped on a "I hate Dexter" bandwagon to promote his own character. sadly though I think it backfired........

Agree he had no idea about receiving immunity.

When he picked I think he wanted to stay.

My goodness, why bother ? The whole country and it's mother knows by now Dexter was desperate to walk with the money. I expected the HM's to do much the same as they did.

Only those that haven't really thought about it.

I thought he did at first but now I get what he means.

Just find it a bit sad people think they know what's his motives were and judge him as the villain when he's the hero.

Have to say I was sucked in myself - it was brilliant !

Yeah, in other words everyone is stupid but you. And it wasn't brilliant - he was caught out and made to look a plonker.

agree. i dont see how anyone can say he didnt really know but there was 99k on the gd wall. he claims he didnt see it after he said he looked at all the numbers but then that was the only one he didnt see. oh i see they put that back up there for Charlie so we never really seen 99k on the wall. it was CGI. ok got it.

yeah I get all that, but that 99,000 was also there when the twins walked in, and there are 2 of them so I don't understand why Dexter is the only villian, the twins went low also, and left at least 2 amounts on the board that the 2 remaining should in theory have taken (thereby making them the lowest) so are they not more culpable than Dexter as they actually left it open to the two following to pick higher amounts than them?

[Slevin]

i agree about the Twins. i made a post about it the day or so after when i was playing catch up and said how they were hoping Charlie and Dex were gonna pick the other two above that number. i got why they went on Dex though since hes been the most sketchy in the house even though they should have been brought up on it as well.

[Jords]

I would have took a shot at £30K.

I think their stupid to pass up on grabbing some free money. Shouldnt be over £50K no fair on the winner. Well tbh, I dont like prize fund twists in general.

The twins had 2 people to go after them and one of them was Dexter, who most of the HM's didn't trust. They had no way of knowing what either he or Charlie would pick.
When Dexter came in there were at least 2 amounts higher than the twins still on the board. He had a choice of 99k and 98,225 that we know of. If he had picked the higher number, and Charlie had picked the lower, or vice versa, the twins would have been the lowest (and Joe desperately wanted to go that week.)
Being so close to Charlie, it's almost certain he knew that Charlie wouldn't want to walk with the money and would pick one of the highest amounts. He picked an amount in the 80's, which no one else had done and would assure him of the lowest. Guilty as charged. Case closed.

Like he said, he wasn't looking for it.

I wouldn't get bogged down with his dodgy explanations tbh.

Look at it this way - he probably knew Sam wanted to stay, he probably thought the twins wanted to stay (ok was a shock) but he KNEW Charlie wanted to stay.

Had he (and everyone) gone highest possible, Charlie would have gone !

So what is he meant to do ?

Remember, he said to Charlie he thought she was gonna take £1.

Remember he said he picked his lucky numbers.
Remember he said he didn't see the 99k (or the other amount apparently)
Remember he said he 'errr....umm I just did it'
Remember he said....(another one I can't recall right now)

So which one is it?
Answer: None of them, he just wanted the dosh.
