Well this is a pretty big story given BB10 just ended, and Big Brother news is still making TMZ headlines. Apparently the car that Memphis won early on in the season, yes the same car that was brought up hundreds of times in the house as the reason Memphis should be evicted, ended up not even being available to Memphis when he got out of the house. Somehow, Big Brother didn't even own the car when it was offered up as a prize in one of the first competitions, so therefore they couldn't exactly award it to Memphis as he made his exit. Big Brother got this car on loan just for the show, and somehow forgot that they would actually have to give it to the winner at the end of the season, so they never purchased it. Well Big Brother was going to purchase the car so Memphis could get his prize, but as it turns out, Memphis ended up turning down the gas guzzling car due it not being for him. Instead, Memphis took some cash, and all is right once again in the Big Brother world. This was definitely an odd story any way you look at it, but that's Big Brother for you. I guess from now on, Big Brother cast members shouldn't be too happy with the prizes they win until they're positive that Big Brother can actually deliver the prize. Maybe by Big Brother 11 they can have situations like this handled a little better. Memphis has even more money in his pocket now, so I'm sure there are no hard feelings on his end.

That's nuts.
I would always take cash over a car anyway. If you "win" a car you have to pay income taxes on the full retail value- which could easily be 30% depending on your tax bracket. It's easier to take the cash and pay your taxes than selling a depreciated used car to pay them.
Just like if you win a mansion, you still have to be able to afford to actually live in one.
