Fines
The Prize Fund at the beginning of Big Brother 2006 was A$1,000,000, but following on from Big Brother 2005, housemates were fined $5000 a time for committing various offences. Housemates were not allowed the one-week grace period that Big Brother 2005 housemates experienced, and fines were awarded within minutes of all the housemates entering the House. Following the first week, the Punishment Room was revealed, where housemates were often sent after receiving their $5,000 fine from Big Brother. The fine tallies of the lowest and highest were from Rob Ridgby who received $5,000 in fines and Camilla Severi who clocked up $105,000.
