In the information provided in this poll, it states that Lane is wealthy. If so, should someone as wealthy as Lane be allowed to win?

Go see and vote on this poll:

Does anyone know if this is true? If so, then he shouldn't be allowed to even be on the show!!!

Apparently so. I dont see why he shouldnt be allowed to play though. Its not supposed to be a game to help peoples lives out.

True, but if you're already rich, let someone else have a chance to get some cash. He doesn't need it if that is true, while some of the other contestants do. Its just the principle

BB is a gameshow, not a charity so anyone can compete and win

According to Russell, anyway. Some people say he's a fraud. That he lives in a trailer park and the business he claims to own may not exist.

There are poorer countries where people might think you were rich beyond any legitimate need, so why don't you send your paycheck to those who are much poorer than yourself?

There is no principle here. It's not charity, it's a competition. If they were basing it on need, they could find needier people than any of them. But that's not the point. It's a competition, and nobody deserves to win it except the person who plays best.

Based on this logic we would get dreadful winners like Kathy every season. I hate it with a passion when people vote for the winner based on who needs it most, it totally goes against the point of the game.

But BB isnt a charity - its a game. In theory being rich should be a disadvantage in the game from the start, so if you can overcome that and go deep, you deserve it just as much imo.

Exactly.. None of these housemates are in urgent need of the money. It'd obviously be a benefit to them, or a huge benefit for others (eg Kathy) but they all manage to get by.
