<![CDATA[Point Raised on Take Two]]>On Take Two, a child (greedy brat) says he would much prefer a cash prize. I personally think he is mad to suggest such a thing. When the money is spent, that is it. Gone.

Also, virtually everyone has money. If I had a trophy for winning Knightmare, I couldn't imagine how proud I'd be. Getting onto the program alone must be difficult, and nobody else would have a Knightmare trophy (apart from your three team mates and other winners).

So what do you think?

I doubt that a World Cup winner would turn down the trophy for a cash substitute).

No some of them would prefer both. Did you realise how much David Beckham gets each time he is featured during an ad everytime England plays? How much do you think these players get evertime they do play and the further and further their team gets in the event, i.e. Euro 2004. I believe that if these players did get just the trophy and didn't get any cash, then they wouldn't bother. My opinions.

Anyway if I was given cash then I probably wouldn't have anything to show for it and it would only make me happy temporarily until it had gone.

If you had a FrightKnight trophy would you discard it for money?

But there's more than one type of value, and as a mark of pride, I'd value winning such a trophy and I'd never relinquish it.

my point was when I was a kid I got 30p a week pocket money so a £20 prize would have been amazing

if I'd have won, looking back on it now I wouldn't care about having a trophy; I'd just be dead chuffed I'd won.

a trophy has no value: it's not as if you'd sell it anyway.

Trophy all the way for me. There's nothing special in money, you can get that anywhere and in any amount depending on luck and application. But winning the spurs or the Frightknight trophy was rare, there was only one way to win it. And it was a mighty achievement (in the same way I doubt that a World Cup winner would turn down the trophy for a cash substitute).

if you'd won knightmare, huge bothered hat about a trophy!

surely the kudos would be worth enough alone! you don't need a trophy to prove your greatness!

whereas... think how much cash 50p was as a child. you could buy a beano anda tiny toon stickers pack. A cash prize; whatever the rules might have stipulated, would've been huge; you could probably have completed Pog Series 1 or something...

the sheer fact of winning knighmare is enough reward on it's own; being amongst only 8 teams to have triumphed against the best the dungeons can throw against you is immense whether you have a trophy or not... I'd take the cash.

The gift would be obsolite now. How long do computers last before they need upgrading? With a trophy, you put it in a display/trophy cabinet for all to see and you talk about the achievement of it. It's exactly what it symbolises, the achievement.

The result is that the most popular prize was indeed the trophy. All those voted cash, get a job, not as fun as Knightmare but you'd earn more.

"...a small reward perhaps, but then you have what few have achieved... The FAME!"

The French and Spanish versions were easier and with one quest per episode with most teams winning. For this reason I think it was probably more appropriate for them to recieve material gifts rather than a trophy.

A BIT more rare, I think you mean a lot rarer

The trophy was a symbol of victory, nothing something that can be replaced either.

You want money GET A JOB!
