To be honest don't think any of them deserve it this year.
Going to bed early. Hardly been entertaining have they.
Might liven them up abit.

I think it has to be reinstated whether they deserve it or not.
First there's the legal angle as the contracts Rodrigo drones on about probably contains some reference to prize money and a hugry no win no fee lawyer would love to get stuck into C4 for a slice of 100K.
Secondly people may well not bother to phone in if there's no prize being awarded as a lot of voters feel that they are bestowing the money on the person who deserves/needs it most. I'd say that's a large part of why Rachel, a student teacher, won last year.

You're right. Perhaps though, there could be a clause put into the contract that HM's will lose the right to be awarded the money if they break BB rules?

Mind you, a bit late for this now.

No,not even win any of it back.Then let's see who's only in it for "The experience"

I think it was great on one BB when they reduced the prize money by the second for some misdemeanour, can't remember what it was now. They soon changed their minds

They decided that a HM, Kitten, although evicted was going to sit tight. BB reduced the money for every minute she stayed, they couldn't get her out of the house quick enough

seeing as they are the worst ever bunch
give 'em the BFH-they deserve that much

Yes, that's right

I couldn't stand Kitten

I am sure the BB lawyers have covered this aspect well before making the announcement.

Make no mistake about it, somewhere in the small print, squeezed in amongst all the legalese, will be the statement 'if any, or all, of the contestants break the rules of the show they will forfeit the prize money'.

Underneath this small print will be a dotted line that the contestant will sign. which will be their agreement to the item within the small print.

they dont deserve it, use the 100k to give us a live feed for the last week or so.

I love this twist, and for the fact that Charlie and Rodrigo was involved as well, the anti rule breakers. Wonder what Lisa and Dave have been saying considering they were not there when it happened.

I'm enjoying the fact that it's been taken away from them but it's odds on that BB will make them perform a task to get it back

No. Just in case that smug little turd Charlie wins.

Depends who the winner is going to be lol


Charlie? NO!

lol yep I agree

I think C4 should give me the money for having to watch the increasing claptrap and rubbish immature HM's they have put in over the last few years.

So no don't give it to them. . give it to MEMEMEMEMEMEME

No.... they don't deserve it!!

True enough, but on this series BB has pretty much torn up its own rule book and any half decent shyster will be able to argue that the HMs were actively encouraged to follow their example.
It's all pretty moot though, as George Lamb intimated on BBLB that they'll be given the opportunity to reinstate it.

yes, they were told they all had a chance to win so thats how it should stay. Saying that, I believe someone will win a 100 grand

Ah! But BB always states and Davina says it often enough, "BIg Brother reserves the rights to change the rules at any time".Get out clause.

hi CM That's true but I cannot see them taking a risk of legal action from seven different contestants and their agents. They are in enough financial difficulty as it is without leaving themselves open for more law suits, and I am sure they have covered every angle. I also think they have every intention of reinstating it anyway ...

But I think that BB are really using it as a ploy to start a mass walk-out or an enormous row, which will expose the real greedy gets who will not want to hang around for nothing. We will see then who is in it for the 'experience'

*exit David and Charlie stage right*

They should get them all to write down their favourite charities, and then tell them that the money will be split between those charities.

I know they won`t do that, but I`d love to see the HMs reactions if they did!

A lot of sleepless nights ahead in the house then lol And lots of "i.m not bothered" going on

Modest trophy. Job done.

This is easy

Didn't know they had lost the prize money.

Are C4 that broke?
