No matter what they should NEVER emss with the money. It would have been the same with anyone getting the 50k. We didn't vote for them, so why should they get HALF of the money?

But it originally said nominations to date and then it said the least nominations this week. Well if Adam only had two nominations and was not up for eviction he still had the least nominations and they should have included him with Scott, Sara, Conor and Luke S! Neither Scott or Sara were bothered about going in the White room. So if Adam had been included he could have gone in with Conor and Luke S!

Plus what a totally unfair way to do it and not give the other hms the same chance. Other years it has been pulling straws with anything like this and done in a lot fairer way!

When you think that Conor has had the most nominations in the house since week 1, he should never have been in the White room! It really is farcical!

The votes have nothing to do with it.

BB has messed with the money before, more than once.

The uproar now is because the inevitable "soldier" who wins might not get the full £100,000.

How did Eugene get his chance?

[Redmond]

I actually think they probably thought they'd have to up the ante otherwise the decision wouldn't be as hard. If it was £25,000 I think both Conor and Luke would turn it down. But £50,000 is an amount that is bound to lead to a more intense situation and decision process.

I also think that the remaining housemates will have the chance to add that money (or at least some of it) back to the overall prize fund based on tasks in the final week.

no it's more that two massively unpopular guys may win half the take, on a show you PAY to vote in. there wouldn't be half the fuss if sara or scott might win the cash (though it still would be a pretty crappy twist)

They knew it'd be the only way they could get Conor to the final, and thsu people would vote more generating more money. Thats all that matters to them not customer satisfaction so to speak

Wasn't his just random luck? I think one housemate was called to the diary room. See even if that was done, at least all housemates had a chance.

Yes and they were all in that semi detatched room,I think.

[netcurtains]

Why is anyone surprised, they ripped off last year's winner and they're ripping off this year's winner. I don't know why people continue to go on BB, it's farcical and why the hell do we all continue to watch it, I just don't know. We're all bonkers.
It's a gameshow and the winner should get the cash, I can remember saying that way back when Anthony was ripped off,

[gentleguy]

dont get me wrong guys i totally agree the winner should get all im only saying i suspect some are only moaning because of who is getting the money.

[Mithers]

The thing is the producers know in all conscience how they have been manipulating public opinion in favour of the outsiders and maybe this is a way to rectify the injustice they have perpetrated.

Adam and Luke A are really such dreadful people, but for reasons best know to the producers (probably political correctness) the series has been edited to show them in a better light.

I am pretty certain that producers have decided to make one of the outsiders win the series (yes, they really can make that sort of decision and do edit the footage to manipulate the public and get the votes they want). I would love to think that the winner won't win all the cash, particularly if it is Luke A or Adam. I am much happier to think of Connor or Luke S taking some of it.

I bet the other 50K was sewn into the chair Benedict took out with him.

I didn't agree with that at the time, nor the one last year.
Though at least Eugene was in the last 4 at the time and actually had a good chance of winning... before he took the money... and he just responded randomly to a call from BB for a HM to come to the DR. It could've been any of Eugene, Makosi, Kinga or Anthony.

On the other hand, Conor has very little chance of winning and Luke S has virtually no chance whatsoever.
Both are quite unpopular (judging by polls, bookies, eviction results, forum opinion, crowd reaction, etc) and I guess it's the majority view that neither really deserves either a free pass to the final or half of the prize money.

Many people still think Conor should've been ejected for his atrocious diatribe, let alone give someone who threatened rape & gbh the chance to win 50k.

They did it right in BB9 when they gave Sara & Lisa 25k each, but the winner still got the full 100k.

Even in BB8 when they ridiculously gave 100k to Liam, at least the 100k prize fund was still intact.

But to give half the prize fund to one of two housemates who'd be lucky to finish any higher than 5th, and just because F+F didn't put them up for eviction this week (whilst also denying Adam plus one of Scott/Sara the chance to compete)... just seems completely wrong.

Sure, there's still a chance that whoever doesn't get the free pass to the final will refuse the money and stay in the house, therefore keeping the 100k prize fund intact. Though I think that would come as quite a surprise to most.

Even if they take the 50k, maybe there's also a chance that BB will give the remaining HMs the chance to build the prize fund back up to 100k. Though that will also come as quite a surprise too.

Oh well, we shall see. But right now, the whole thing fookin' stinks.

It's completely arbitrary criteria.
It means nothing. They write and make up this stuff themselves.
This 'rule' was conceived by the same show which appears to want to give Conor £50,000.

Adam didn't go into the white room because the show created a 'rule' to ensure that he didn't go in.
These rules aren't written on ancient tablets of stone. The show itself writes them on the fly to fit to a situation and shape it to their liking..

[jafaya]

Do we know for sure the 50k is taken from the 100k prize fund?

Good question.

Open your eyes..........I would have said the same if Adam had been in there, but obviously they didn't want him.

It does seem that way, especially when F&F were the ones doing the nominating, strange it all happened the same week.

Yes and that suited BB
None of the 3 deserve to win, let alone Conor and Luke S.

Clever way to anger all of your viewers. How stupid can they get

He still did not get enough nominations to be up for eviction but he was the only one not eligible to go into the white room. It was unfair and now I realize why they did not want him in. He would not have left first and he very likely would be the one who needs the money most.

Precisely

Had they said the rules AGES in advance so they couldnt be accused of fixing it for the current situation then it might seem more credible. But this way they got to wait and see what happened then make up any rule they like in order to fit with what they want to happen next
