CBB fees and wanting to leave

One of the annoying things about this CBB series - and others - was the constant whining from the HMs about how they wanted to leave. Obviously civilians do that too, but then their series are three or four times as long.
Am I right in thinking that the celebs get paid the same if they are the first evictee as if they reach the final (unless they walk)? So it's only natural that people who just want the cash (and not the exposure) don't want to stay in?
If so, an obvious solution would be for BB to make somewhat more generous offers to celebs, but only paying them the full amount if they reach the final. They get 60-70% for walking in the door, and then gradually accrue the rest according to how many days/evictions they survive.
It might sharpen up the nominations a bit too.
Thoughts?

The show has been on long enough now for them to have an idea about what it is going to be like and nobody is forced to sign-up.
I think that percentages works a principle but I would give probably only about 30% of the overall fee to those who only last a week. I would say that that should get kicked up to 60% to all who survive the 1st eviction.
The reason why I'm being so mean is because that would (hopefully) put an end to those who really do want to get out asap.
I would give everyone in the last week 80%, all the finalists 90% and the winner 100%
Danielle would probably have killed someone. :eek:
I don't think charities get anything to speak of now - certainly not a big pay out at the end to the winner's choice.
We'd be hearing a lot more about it if it was happening.
Make it competitive with bonus money on the line.
Having at least a portion of the winner's prize or fee go to charity might concentrate a few minds and stop the whining. I wonder why it was stopped?
You're right they wouldn't.
Something needs to be sorted out though because this lot were the most boring celebrities ever to walk through the door. Apart from only a couple of exceptions, they sat there unashamedly admitting they weren't interested and were just waiting for their money. These people are supposed to be entertainers. I know no-one can give"show time" 24/7 and I don't want to see them doing their "act" but, as a viewer, I don't want to hear them whinging about not want to be on the programme that is actually paying the money.
So, perhaps there should be !!......this year, only the desperate, Lauren ? - and competitive, Charlotte/Mario ? were eager to reach the Final.
SCD are, apparently, paying their contestants on a scale rate, with a bonus for reaching quarter/semi finals etc....
It's always been about the 'celebs'.
I'm sure over the different series a very small majority might have donated to a charity of their choice.
But we have now got to the stage where we can't even call the so called celebs, z listers. Most of the them are sad, has-beens looking for their last big pay day, so I can't really see any of their wedge finding its way to charity.
They probably send in an invoice like any company would do.
