I think there is going to be a lot of faffing around but in the end both will want it.

Of course one will take it. It's the exact same amount as the prize for winning the show, which both of them know they can't do.

It's a no brainer, even for those with no brain.

I expect they'll be told, yes. That will be the dilemma.

I can't even see the debate. Take £50,000 or have 11 more days in the house with a remote (in the case of Luke S, VERY remote) chance of winning exactly the same sum of money. I should think they will fight to the death for the right to take the money and go.

I think they'll both want to take it. It's a 1/7 chance of winning 100k or a guaranteed 50k theyre clearly in it for the money I don't think either of them would take the chance on a gamble after the outsiders always being saved when against the insiders.

The same can not be said for Conor.

Eugene wasn't all that decent.

Anyway, I don't know how Conor and Luke S will rationalise the decision not to take the money, but I suspect it will happen somehow.

I agree. I honestly don't see why anyone would consider an alternative. Why people would turn that down seems utterly ridiculous to me.

What happens to the immunity prize if they both refuse to take the money?

They'll be told, but the more interesting dilemma is "do I want to look like someone who'd take the money?"

£50K actually because one of those jokers will have already taken £50k of the prize money.

I may have got it wrong, but I understood that it was out of the prize fund, so a 1/7 chance of winning 50k.

Why would anyone care, frankly?

You take the money and leave. Job done.

I can see why that was a dilemma in BB6 when Eugene had to stay after taking the money, but if you get to go then you take the money and run surely?

Eugene wasn't the threats of violence type though was he.
And he was liked during BB6.
Whilst we'll never know I do think he could have beaten Anthony in the final if he hadn't taken the cash.

If it's a simple push the button to win £50K I think they'll both jump at it.

That is my bug bear on this.

I could almost come to terms with Luke S taking the cash.
Conman is a different story.

[fuzzybint]

I don't think either will take it so I agree with you. They will put on a 'let's keep it real and fair' act which may be as nauseating as both arguing about who will take it...I don't think they would be prepared for the possible wrath of the public for the unfairness of it. I hope I'm right because I don't want either of them to win a penny.

[Aprilis]

I think they'll both want to take it.

[sofialady]

I think neither taking it is a huge possibility.

I think the idea of ''not being all about the money'' and their desperateness to be liked will overtake the idea of 50k and being evicted straight away.

I just don't know what BB would do then. The live show would be all set up for two to be evicted with interview time for that person and everything so surely it wouldn't just be it? Maybe they'd turn it over to the other housemates. I don't know.

[tentan]

theyll take it alright. its just like winning big brother just without the 'title'.

On Twitter a Daily Star reporter said if neither takes it there will be 'another twist' to determine who gets the pass, so presumably that's how the time will be filled.

[MisoSoup]

So the choice is a definite £50k now or a possible £50k in a week

NOBODY is stupid enough not to take the definite money now with that offer on the table

As would I in his shoes. Got to be honest about it. £50k is not to be sneezed at and................ no way will he win

I'm seriously peeved at this twist, but I wouldnt be able to blame Luke S for taking it if he did.

If Conor takes it, I'll be weeping with fury. I'm gonna have to get a load of wine in for tomorrow night. Finally been driven to drink with this drivel series

[trevor tiger]

Why wouldn't you take it The only problem will be how it's decided who will take it. Not only is it incredibly annoying to us as viewers that these 2 out of everyone gets the chance of half the prize money but the other one gets a pass to the final

Then the winner that we chose only gets half the prize money

[dirrrty]

One will take it, bet they will decide quickly to share it, but then decide who will stay, person who goes will get more money.
