This guy has a big cajones or he is just plain stupid. Either way I hope he wins!

Apparently Sky is paying him nothing....
So that leaves me to conclude the latter, he's just stupid. Why would a person give away a free TV series?

I reckon he'll get a lot of TV interview spots whether he wins or loses so he'll make some £££ out of it anyway.
However I heard about this months ago when it was just a little article in a newspaper when the guy wa just 'thinking' about it.
Good luck to him I say.
I agree with Dabouncer...He'll coin it in if he wins or loses
Maybe that's been his stratagy all along ... hype up the spin ... get as much public interest as possible in it ...
And then cream it for all it's worth ... which if he does it right ... will probably be a lot more that his stake of £75,000.
Rock n roll !!!
Just heard on the radio that he won !!! Got 200 grand back :thumbsup:
