Vancouverite Firstname::kristi desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "New Member" 05-05-04, 02:45 PM (EST) "Does the winner get more than a million dollars?" CBS promos say that the finale will have a, "A Surprise So Big, It Will Stun Everyone, We Guarantee It." Is the surprise that the winner gets more than a million dollars. Prior to the show airing I thought I read somewhere that the winner would get $3 million. Any thoughts?   Top

Only reason I don't think that's it is the interview posted earlier, Probst had to stop and think about whether the big suprise was anounced at the reunion show or on the finale show... Plus with this being all stars I don't think more money would "stun everyone" But then again they like to exagerate don't they.....   Top

I don't think that this is very likely for a couple of reasons: 1) Jeff has mentioned the million dollar prize specifically several times during the show. I would think that if they wanted to try to blow one by us, they would have just not mentioned an amount. 2) CBS would have used that to hype the show. You don't put additional money in the pot without marketing the heck out of it. I could be wrong, but that's my $.02.   Top

I would think that if they wanted to try to blow one by us, they would have just not mentioned an amount. Not that I think this is the Big Surprise at all, but has JP mentioned a million dollars as the prize, or has he just said "they're playing for a million dollars" as if they THINK that's what the prize is, when it's actually more?

From JP's teleconference yesterday (see Dabo's thread): Question: Is it fair to say that the people left are going to get big prizes, like 6 figures? Jeff Probst: The money did go up. I don't have the exact numbers. I think it was a million for the winner, $250,000 for the runner up then $175,000 and then maybe 115, then maybe dropped into 85. I'll have those numbers on the Live Show. He *thinks* it was a million for the winner?   Top

Loquatrix 640 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 05-06-04, 02:48 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Does the winner get more than a million dollars?" Right on, BR. You'd think someone as close to the core of the production would know, categorically and without question, what the prizes are for the championship series. That said, I believe his "I think it was..." refers not just to the first place prize, but to his whole layout of what all the prizes may be. He's trying to say he's not entirely sure what all the prizes are -- not just what the first place prize is. I don't buy it, anyway. He's covering something up, for sure.   Top

That said, I believe his "I think it was..." refers not just to the first place prize, but to his whole layout of what all the prizes may be. I realized that too. But yeah, there's something excessively "La...la...la..." about the way he's saying this, imo.   Top

"RE: Does the winner get more than a million dollars?" >He *thinks* it was a million >for the winner? No, I read the comment different -- that he knows it starts with a million, but thinks the breakdown after that is... blah, blah, blah. The prize is only one million -- there's no way it's anything more, Burnett fought with castmembers for months on this issue, there's no way in hell he's going to double it as a "surprise."   Top

rjrabbit 3269 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Car Show Celebrity" 05-06-04, 02:59 PM (EST) 6. "My two cents on the big surprise." I said this on another thread but I think the big surpise is that they let all the All Stars vote on who gets the million. The only thing that leads me to think this is when Tina was on the Early Show, Julie asked her if she was on the jury and Tina replied "I can't answer that".   Top

Drive My Car 20045 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-06-04, 04:13 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Does the winner get more than a million dollars?" The money thing has been discussed since before the first episode. It's been in several threads on this board since the beginning of the season. The winner still gets a million but all the pay outs for the other positions have been upped. I think Webby posted what the amounts were, but the 2 mil refers to the entire prize purse.   Top

sirius 9 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 05-06-04, 04:16 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Does the winner get more than a million dollars?" I still think that the CBS vote for your all time survivor has something to do with the prize and that the winner of that is going to get a million too!   Top

LAST EDITED ON 05-06-04 AT 04:26 PM (EST) >I think Webby posted what the amounts were, but the 2 >mil refers to the entire prize purse. Before the show was officially announced, USA Today ran an incorrect report that the prize was $2 million. But when the show was officially announced, CBS stated that the top prize was still only $1 million, but all the runner-up prizes had been increased, particularly on the "super loser" end of the sliding scale, where the prize for "first person voted out" went from $2,500 to $25,000. ...and the rest of the prizes increased from there -- with them all coming in somewhere between $25k and the Final 2 loser's $250k (as opposed to the Final 2 loser's typical $100k) (basically they upped the minimum guaranteed money that anyone was going to get -- making it kinda an "appearance fee" without actually having to pay anyone a "real" appearance fee... which several of the former contestants had wanted but CBS/Burnett had balked at paying)   Top
