Housemates turn down prize money
BB adds £20 to the pot
housemates-turn-down-prize-money

The housemates have turned down a chance to add £1,500 to the prize fund - by swimming 1,500 lengths of the pool.

Big Brother offered the task to the group last night, but they decided not to give it a shot, reasoning that they’re not interested in the money and that they would have done it for a party or a takeaway.

However, just moments later, Rodrigo and Charlie unsuccessfully attempted to persuade Lisa and David to do it.

Earlier in the afternoon, Big Brother added £20 to the pot as a mystery prize in this week’s shopping.

As the group went to collect their supplies, David immediately spotted a large cheque, and held it up for all to see.

“Twenty grand?” mouthed Sophie as she approached the store room.

“They’ve given the mystery prize as £20,000, as well as Siavash’s, innit,” Lisa said.

“It’s a good idea,” said David.

“It’s ******* ****!” replied Marcus, who soon spotted that they had made a crucial mistake when reading the cheque. “It’s £20, not £20,000!” he grinned.

“It’s what?” asked David. “I thought it was £20,000.”

The prize money was reduced to zero on Tuesday as a punishment after housemates broke into the camera runs.

they will be kicking themselves when they come out or the winner will be, to think they could of had £100,000 and ended up with 20 or so. i’d be well pissed off!

I guess it’s sinking in that they can make so much more with the mag and newspaper deals when they come out….

Think they would have paid more attention if the prize fund was 1 million pounds

The fact they have given up on the latest challenge is getting to prove that they don’t really give a s**t how much the prize fund is

They won’t make much at all though when they get out as the press simply aren’t interested. Nobody is going to be fighting for their stories as no one has a story to tell. Sophie might get a few quid from Nuts, but that’s about it.
