Am I right in saying Big Brother is not nearly as big a show over there as it is in the UK, I think its on PPV over there, maybe? ”
It is for the contestants!!....$500,000 is the prize as apposed to $112,568.84 (using todays exchange rates)...its funny how we 'export' ideas to the states and they completely dwarf us in stakes and entertainment value, in the weakest link, they play for a measly 1000 quid or so and in the states it goes up to $25,000 per round!!!.....if BB5 wants action action action.....up the stakes to life changing status and maybe the HM will give life changing performances, 70 grand isnt a lot of money, you cant even buy half a house!!!
