Their decision was that it said on Channel 4's website that once a housemate has been evicted, they forfeit all right to the prize money. Therefore changing editorial direction in the way they did without changing the T&C's on the website meant it was in breach.


The T&Cs also clearly state that "Big Brother Can Change the Rules at anytime" - though it was always going to be more difficult for them to apply this to the voting public rather than just the housemates


Well if they can change the rules any time they want, whats the point in them having rules at all?

I dont care about spending money to vote someone out who is then put back in (I didnt even vote Nikki out or back in anyway) but when someone is evicted I think they shouldnt be eligible to win the prize money.


Not like Channel 4 would have let Nikki or indeed any of her fellow ex housemates who went back in win - we know who their winner always was Wink


Yep. It was predictable for day one that Pete would win.

Just thinking about comparisons to this, and the most obvious ones are shows like Pop Idol and The X Factor, where the runner ups often get record contracts along with the winner, often with the same record company.

So aren't they doing exactly the same thing - worse in fact as they are just giving out the "prize", rather than letting the public decide on a winning runner-up!

But once the competition is over record companies can do what they like. If they are really talented people then they are bound to get offers of recording contracts, and are being given contracts because they are good not because the public have voted for them to win a talent show.

BB is totally different, for a start the contestants are only wanabee celebs!
