Total prize fund: £150k
So it looks like the winner might be walking away with £116,100. Add to that Jack's £23,900 and Sam and Chloe's £5,000 each and you get a total prize fund of £150k, just as advertised.
So Joel was totally right about his Monopoly money theory, and a lot of FMs who are quick to jump to the most derogatory conclusions about HMs and the BB production team will be looking rather eggy-faced.

Nobody's tripping over themselves to admit they were mistaken, I see.

Sorry but I'm not understanding your thread. BB has a total prize fund & that total prize fund was never all going to the winner.....it's been like that for a few years now.

What are you talking about? The 'total prize fund' is the phrase that I chose to use.

IIRC In the task room, BB said the money - that Jack won - was not part of the prize fund.
![]() Total prize fund = The total amount of money that the production has put aside for prizes Total prize fund = Winner's prize money + Jack's winnings + Chloe's winnings + Sam's winnings |

Okay, so all of a sudden the forum doesn't care to discuss the money? I mean, it's only been central to the whole of the past week's tasks, and how that relates to how the HMs have been judged by the viewers.
Hindsight changes things, does it not? ![]() ..Am I speaking the wrong language here?!

After the hit the buzzer task in which Jack won, £24k would have been added to the prize fund one way or another.

It didn't matter what anyone bid on pizza, suitcases, football scores etc. It didn't even matter how many tasks they won or lost (because they didn't win them all) - the total cash prizes was always going to equal £150k. |

If Jack had not done the fish bath task or he had eaten kfc and breakfast bb would have accordingly upped the amount on offer for the spray tan task at the end knowing he would do it.

It's amusing to be quite honest.
Joel was right on the money but ignorance prevailed. Looking into the house, you can see the difficulties with managing a balanced society. |

I think the point is that whatever the fund was in bb's head was always going to be that figure. If the fund turned out to be 25k in the end it wont have been as a direct result of them buying back cases etc, it will be because bb had already decided.
Bb is always in control of the final figure. |

That the total = the original prize amount doesn't mean Joel was right.
