I disagree with this. Some people do it for the experience. Some people do it for the prize. Some people do it for the exposure.

I’d say the ones doing it “for the experience” are the fake ones there. Most of those saying that they are there for the experience are probably just too afraid to say they are there for the money as it makes them look bad in the voters eyes. People don’t do things without getting something out of it.

Disagree. This is a really narrow minded view, @Affable.

Some of us are actually fascinated by the genuine social experiment aspect of the show - all the psychological elements of BBAU from 2001-2008 appeal to me (and evidently a few others above) more than absolutely anything else. I would do something like Big Brother in a heartbeat - like @up_all_night, if it was not filmed and especially not in a 2020s world - but if only for the day-to-day living, tasks and social aspect. I’d love to be there til the end to experience the whole thing but winning the prize money would be the least of my concerns.

Only very few people in the world get to experience Big Brother (the true Big Brother experience, not Seven’s or anything manufactured) and it would be a dream to do that version. Not for the money at all. You may think it sounds cliche or “fake”, but the experience from the psychology and societal side is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that only this show can provide a person. Money can’t buy that.

agree 100%

If it wasn't on TV I'd do it in a heartbeat. The prize money/opportunities as well as the personal ego boost would be nice to get from winning, but the experience itself looks like it would be really fun and you'd learn so much about yourself through it.

That’s what I’ll add… @Affable is right about one thing: people don’t do things without getting something out of it. Except that thing doesn’t have to be money like is being implied.

I've always said I'd decline money if it meant I'd had to leave. For the first few weeks at least. If I got offered a large sum of cash towards the end I'd probably leave with the money, I don't even blame Vinny for taking 10K as I'd do the same since he didn't have to quit. IDK I just love the whole never-ending mega sleepover vibe it has just seems fun to me. I liken it to a sort of emotional/spiritual/social adventure.

Given a choice I'd like to be in BB1 - BB3. The other seasons, not so much, especially with the straight boys' clubs, bullying, etc. If they could cast and run the format like those first seasons again it would be a lot of fun.

Hopefully they renovate the house for next season and the first thing they do is make the walls higher.

Nothing about the house is permanent. It was built really quickly. I assume they'll use it for Dreamworld tours and then scrap all of it. In the backyard there are beams for shade structures in the area of dream world it is built over. The white beams near Ed and Colin. Leaving them there suggests no intention for it to stay there long term.

I don't know what it is based on, the guy over at TvTonight.com.au thinks the house will be in the same location next year. Hopefully, they get more time to build and can do something better if that is the case.

Another consideration is the house being there loses Dreamworld's exhibition centre. How much that makes and how often it is used is something I have no clue about but could be a factor in what happens with the house. What they do for the next season.

I personally would do it for the experience.
Not to get to deep into it but my life has been pretty lonely and I dont do well socially and only now later in life I was diagnosed with autism and stuff makes a lot more sense now. I'd love to do it for the experience and to throw myself out of my comfort zone and get to know people... even if it is in a weird/twisted way.
$100,000 doesn't really do much these days, sure it's a life changing amount of money but in my life the experience would mean more to me.
