Big Brother is planning a big prize money twist for the showâs penultimate week.
Rumoured scheduling confirms a new week-long twist starting from Day 55, Sunday July 5 and running until Day 59, Thursday, July 9.
For the duration of the task Big Brother will be renamed âBig Brother: Cash Bombâ and no doubt the new theme will have something to do with this yearâs prize money.
This summer thereâs ÂĢ150,000 up for grabs, the biggest BBUK prize to date
, although twists in past series have meant that the winner hasnât always walked away with it all.
In 2009, Sophie âDogfaceâ Reade won the series but took home
the delightfully random amount of ÂĢ71,320 after rule breaking resulted in Big Brother removing the prize fund before the group had to win it back.
In 2011, the first series broadcast on Channel 5 saw ÂĢ50,990 awarded to winner Aaron Allard-Morgan in a rather convoluted âshock prize money twistâ.
And the year after in 2012 was arguably Big Brotherâs most controversial twist to date as Conor McIntyre chose to walk out of the house taking half of the then ÂĢ100,000 prize money with him, leaving eventual winner Luke Anderson the other ÂĢ50,000.
The twist comes week before the final, currently rumoured for around July 14th, potentially making this series the shortest to have aired on Channel 5.
For now, this week will see another themed week following weeks of Time Warp.
From Monday, the Big Brother house will become the Big Brotherâs Hotel from Hell with a range of famous and familiar housemates checking in for short stays.
The first of those guests is former Celebrity Big Brother and Ultimate Big Brother housemate John McCricick who will join the house tomorrow night.
For now, the second half of Big Brotherâs 80s weekend airs tonight on Channel 5 from 9PM.
Sounds spot on to me ....
