I really am believing CBS gets donations for their games (think Price is Right here). I think that they just use whatever they have (do you honestly think if they had to buy that 21,000 vacation and 5,000 in chips that they would have just put it in popcorn ? ). I sure don't.
I also do not think they will have a clothing comp because last year it was called the luxary comp, and this year they had a 'luxary' comp which was the card game. Why would they do two in one year?
So I honestly do not remember there being a clothing comp every year - but the HGs said there have been. I jsut remember the one last year. And they are saying that alot of those clothes were name brand and I once again say companies donated them, or at least high price stores.
So back to my point, they had one luxary comp already (from what I remember, a luxary comp is a luxary comp - didn't Will win his trampoline this way? ). I still think the card game was the luxary comp.
Last year they did it the day after Jen left, so there were the same amount of people that there are now (Jameka/Jessica/Daniele/Amber vs. Dick/Eric/Zach). So I really do not think the numbers matter.
