Home for the Holidays on C4 - don't know if ayone saw this too - Georgia, youngest daughter in family spent £80,000 - eighty thousand pounds!!! of the entire family fortune of £168,000 - to meet Olly Murs after one of his concerts, a party in Sugar Hut (club in TOWIE) and a pink Fiat 500.
The car is probably worth £15k or less, how much can you drink in Sugar hut for £80k? You could probably buy Sugar Hut for £80k.
I reckon it works out, she's got a car worth £15k max, a ten grand piss-up at a crap club and has paid more than £50, 000 to meet Olly Murs - who is heeeee? If you touch him does he turn to gold?

HFTH - is Home for the Holidays, a game show on C4:
www.channel4.com/programmes/home-for-the-holidays

A couple getting married - Danny & Naomi - and various members of their extended families are holed up in a 'mansion' completing tasks, winning money, adding it to the 'family pot' - ostensibly to pay for them to get married.
Along the way family members are 'tempted' to buy their most wanted items, but the money will come out of the family pot - and away from the happy couple.
Bit of a moral theme - choose money over your family or not.

I don't think any of them are rich - very working class Essex folk shafting each other royally - There will be blood!!!

Georgia the youngest woman member of the groom's family was tempted with the Olly Murs thing - and agreed to buy it with eighty thousand pounds of the family cash pot.

Yep - I think she may have lost her place on the top table at the reception

Well I guess its only a game show so she used money she wouldn't have had otherwise. Not as if its come out her family's savings. Still bonkers to spend 80k on meeting him though!

greentown · 23/12/2011 12:43

I think that's actually what she has done - it is the family's money - money they've all won doing group tasks.
Nobody knows what happens at then of the week/game but she has taken £80k that was won by all of them and just spent it on herself
Stuff her brother's wedding - she wants Olly Murs

should read - nobody knows what happens at the end of the week/game...

So it's not real money then?

OIlly Murs is some X factor person, doubtful that he charges £50 for s personal appearance. If he could get £50k a time he wouldn't be doing shit programmes like this.

greentown · 23/12/2011 17:11

It's real money - eighty thousand real pounds.

I doubt Olly gets paid much of that. It's money the TV company no longer have to give the family. £80K...

I had this recorded and have just watched it now. What a selfish cow, and that Abbey the other night she is a selfish cow too.

I hope they don't get anything out of the family pot and cant afford the insurance on their new cars (they have brought out an evil side of me)

Abbey and georgia are incredible - money-grabbing!

All who've taken money were given the option to give the present back to the 'family' or give half and keep half of their 'present', or give none back and leave the house. Two gave it all back.

Abbey kept half, meaning she gets a car half the value of a Range Rover and Georgia also kept half meaning she keeps a Fiat 500 - but only by taking £40,000 out of the family cash pot!
Has nobody told her how much the car is worth/costs? Must be way less than £40k.
They're both sooooo selfish.

Should clarify - Georgia had paid £80k to see Olly Murs, have a party at sugar Hut, new clothes, and a Fiat 500.
She put £40k back in the family pot sacrificing, Olly Murs, Sugar Hut and clothes.
