Just a thought.....

When the series has finished wouldn't it be great if C4 opened up the house and let people have a tour around it, main house and camera runs, etc

I think it would be really interesting to have a good look around

If C4 wanted, howsabout charging a small fee, say £5.00, and giving it to a local Elstree charity

I'd be up for it

i think they did something like this at the end of BB1.

Also, you can win a prize to stay the night in the BB3 house at the end of the series, wonder if it'll be broadcast?

This is going to make me sound sad, but, yep I'd go for that. Only with the proceeds going to charity, C4 have made enough money.
Can't see it either happening or if it did C4 only charging £5 though.

They sell most of the stuff off on eBay don't they????

Who gets the dosh???

Was the stuff supplied free of charge by suppliers like House of Fraser wanting to sell pebble duvets??? Anyone know?

Well last year they sold 'some' stuff on Ebay with a ridiculous postage charge (£5 for 2 of the laminated sheets (of the dance task) I bought I seem to remember) let alone some silly prices.

Hopefully they'll do it better this year and sell off more stuff!
The money did go to about 3 charities as far as I remember.

anyone see BBLB monday?. when adele was taken round the house backstage, by dermot. (oh err missus!! )
She said she didnt realise there were cameras behind the mirrors!!!.
what BS!!...gawd women, I can remeber a number of occasions when she was in the BB house where she'd comment on the cameras behind the mirrors. Hell, her and Kate even tried to peer through on one occasion!!!...

You can actually win a 24-hour stay for 2 in the BB house on the C4 BB website:

The catch being you have to sign up for their 'pay to play' scheme and the more cash you spend the more chance you have of winning. I wonder just how much dosh BB3 is generating.
