Laura knows what the twist is. She knows!
I don't know, but if I thought I'd won 100k, I'd walk immediately, fuck the 8 weeks left.

Now I already think that £100k is too big a prize for the winner anyway, considering the amount they earn from media stuff when BB's over.
But £100k...after 3 weeks?!

100k will get you a nice car, holiday and clothes, but it's not like it'll get you a house or anything. If I was mad enough to go on Big Brother I reckon I wouldn't be preparing myself to win it in the first place given only one out of the billions of contestants win, so I'd probably stay as I'd know I'd get better interviews the longer I was in.
Why Liam though? He's a bit of an arsehole. All Liams look like him though, I know a couple that look a bit like that. I would have given it to one of the twins and let them share it.

Well, that was... not at all suspenseful, really.
But maybe that's because I hadn't even seen Liam until tonight's show.
I did enjoy everyone else's applause and graceful loser faces when his name was announced though.

And what's with all this "prize that's rightfully theirs" stuff for the actual winner.

I really don't understand the point of this twist.

What is the point of this?
Surely you would have to have a head full of several litres oh shit to realise the prize fund isn't going to be given away after 3 weeks..
Its all a bit shite really and why the fuck give it too Liam?
I would have loved to have seen the 90s Rave Wurzel Gumidge get it.

100k will get you a nice car, holiday and clothes, but it's not like it'll get you a house or anything. It might not be a life changing amount to some people but it certainly would be to me. I could easily get a car, a holiday, a new wardrobe and use it pay at least 75% towards a house where I live. I'm quite touched by Liam's reaction to it. I like him now. |

I think Liam is quite sweet in his own way, and he is the best looking guy in there in my opinion. (I know there isn't much competition). He'd never be my favourite housemate, but I think he is quite likeable.
I was pleased that Ziggy didn't get it, especially as he was almost the one they chose. I loved the annoyed look on his face.

I had this on but wasn't paying attention. What was the logic they used to decide on Liam?

I wonder about this winners rightful prize thing too. Is it just going to be a crappy trophy or something?

I would have wept profusely if Ziggy got that dirty cash. He's a rubber lipped rotter!

I could easily get a car, a holiday, a new wardrobe and use it pay at least 75% towards a house where I live. That's not what I meant - I mean, if I was daft enough to go on Big Brother, I wouldn't be doing it for the 100k perk at the end, cause 100k really isn't worth Big Brother, I'd say, especially as only one person out of many gets it. The stuff after would be the really good stuff. And wow - you must live in a good place, can I move there? I'll never get a house up here. *And there was really no need for the smiting. |

Flats round me are between £120K and £250K.
30 miles away you can buy a flat for £4K! No one wants to live there but for £100K you could buy a street, like in Monopoly.
Davina, bless her, annoyed me even more tonight. Even the housemates thought it was shit and were talking about towel stink, yet she tried to pretend it was all really exciting. Davina, love, we don't really care. There's none of them in there we want to win.

Google estate agents in Barry and I'm sure you'll find somewhere. We're 10-15 minutes from Cardiff, 10 minutes from the airport, we're surrounded by beaches and countryside and have a log flume. And of course we're home to Stacey of Gavin & Stacey fame. And there's at least 2 lowculturers living here. |

I think Liam reacted perfectly - his days surely would have been numbered had he smiled and said "mint"? |

I'm glad he won, I dont mind him and he's obviously the only one none of them all hate which is amazing.
It was funny seeing Charley suddenly lavish more attention on him. The girl makes my blood boil, grr. I think he wants to stay in because he will want to prove he deserves it by sticking it out until he wins or is booted and I reckon they must all have an inkling that there's still money at the end, because why would BB give the money now and risk everyone throwing the towel in?

I would have given it to one of the twins and let them share it. They quickly decided on the twins not getting it on the grounds of "they'll be alright once the show's over anyway". Everyone in the house appears to have turned on the twins, saying they're not that innocent and how they're whole act is just a marketing ploy. Davina, bless her, annoyed me even more tonight. Even the housemates thought it was shit and were talking about towel stink, yet she tried to pretend it was all really exciting. Davina, love, we don't really care. There's none of them in there we want to win. Same here. If the best footage they could find for that hour was them arguing over a towel then they clearly couldn't have cared less but Davina annoyed me by not only insisting that they do but that "THIS IS THE BEST TWIST EVER. IT'S GOING TO REALLY SHAKE THE HOUSE UP. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW THEY THINK THE MONEY'S GONE?" It's not. It didn't. They don't because they're not that stupid. And nor are we. |

There wasn't enough buildup to this for enough people to care to get the series ratings up. Was this really worth the producers' essentially giving away £100,000? It would've been better if they'd told them that the money was up for grabs yesterday night, then had the decision tonight so we'd have a whole day of some people insisting they didn't need the money and sucking up to the three nominees.
I figured this was just a way to get people watching "Brothers & Sisters" which was sandwiched between the two live shows.

The only reason I saw this "amazing" "twist" was because I wanted to watch both episodes of Brothers and Sisters. Davina really bugs the shit out of me these days, and I agree with what you said about it being painful watching her trying to make it sound really exciting. Has she always been this annoying? I used to love Streetmate, please tell me she was actually likable and funny back in those days... it can't have all just been an illusion, right? |
