“Big Brother” takes Memphis for a Ride… They didn’t even own the Camaro!
In the first episode of BB10, Memphis won a sweet 1969 Camaro in a car-pulling contest. Small problem — “Big Brother” couldn’t give the car away because the show didn’t own it. Someone else actually held the title. In fact, the car had already been returned to the owner almost immediately after the contest.
Memphis the Mixologist was none the wiser because no one told him about the snag while he was inside the house. But on Tuesday, Memphis gained his freedom, losing to Dan, and learned the car he had come to treasure wasn’t really his. Another problem — the car has been repainted since it was on the show.
We’re told producers are now scrambling to buy the car from the real owner. Sources say the real owner will turn the keys over for $24,000. A ‘69 Camaro online sell for anywhere between 7 and as much as 80 grand.
Memphis, the “Big Brother” contestant who won a 1969 Camaro the show didn’t even own, has decided he doesn’t want the car anyway.
After setting up a test-drive to see if he wanted the classic car — which “Big Bro” would’ve had to purchase from the rightful owner — Memphis realized the gas-guzzler wasn’t for him and chose to pocket an undisclosed amount of cash instead.

as nice as the camaro is, I would want the money more… buy a brand new car good on gas…
I agree, I feel bad for that handsome man Memphis but in the end I think he will be better taking the money and perhaps buying a new car of his choice, better on gas, better on technology and maybe better with insurance. He does look very very very handsome in the picture though. I wonder if the group will still be going to Las Vegas, as I thought they were planning on going in the camaro. But i guess a back seat is a back seat. HaHa. I sure do miss BB10 and most of the HG. Kinda sad I do wish them all the best. And to Mr Simon and Mr Dawg Thank you for a sweet site!
Wow. That’s crazy, but yeah maybe the money would be better. I’ve always loved Camaro’s though! But he rather have the money, which is probably a good choice.
Probably a good choice in this economy but oh how I love the ‘69 Camero (probably one of my top ten favorite cars). Oh well, he’ll get something good on gas.
Thanks Simon and Dawg for the time you put in on this site. It was truely one of the best sites out there!!
Until BB11…..
I would take the money too, Memphis! The Camaro is a nice ride but not practical, especially in the city.
He’s out of his mind! He should have took the car & sold it on ebay! Given the fact that it’s a valuable car to begin with, and add the fact that it was on big brother, it would have fetched a TON of cash. What a dumb ass. His decision there, was as wrong as the decisions he made on the show… it cost him the game.
