It is NOT a game any more if the winner is based on financial issue, race, sex, or physical disadvantage. And, there is no point for the game to last 3 full months. Just play the game well and ethically, you will deserve to win.

I did the math, and the big winner will have gotten the equivilant of $234 an hour. Not bad for sitting around doing nothing!

I agree Mummy, but the public will take the money from the person who deserves and give it to the "needy".

That's mighty generous of us isn't it?

Wahoowa,
Imagine how 7 Hg will feel with their $2.08 per hour ($350 per week). I'm sure they are just happy with their experience.

Of course they are, that's what it's all about - the 'experience'.

As much as I like Curtis and Josh, I'm tired of hearing them say that they are there for the experience. That's fine - Eddie is there for the experience plus he wants the thrill of winning plus the money and I'm thinking of voting accordingly.

Fenixtx,

Then, the game should be ended from day 1. The winner was already there.

Um, I understand the sentiment here. But, it seems kind of vague to me. I mean how are you supposed to earn it. It's not like a sport or a game show where it's all about completing tasks. The task here is to just be yourself and hope that the viewers like you. How can the HGs possibly "earn" something here? Are the viewers voting to banish the least energetic house guests? I don't think so. The houseguests feel that the viewers are voting out the most controversial HG at a given time. So the only way to "earn" the $500k is to keep a low profile. Doesn't make for great TV, but the HGs have no control over how we vote. Just my two cents.

Interesting point Rws...

That leads me to wonder about how the UK house which just ended worked from a banishment perspective.

Did the public vote out controversial HGs there? Did the HGs play the same low profile game? Is there something inherently wrong with the BB game that the players do not "play" themselves?

My retrospective thoughts on winning Big Brother and why the BB experience was both intriguing and fascinating:

Here's Why [insert winner's name here] Won Big Brother

I think one of the reasons BB viewers are so involved in the BB experience is because it touches upon a tremendous need to search for meaning and expression of one's personal values within the context of the BB game.
