Remember the very first episode of Big Brother 10?

Memphis won a 1969 Camaro in the first competition of the house. Throughout the rest of the season we was like, “at least I won the car,” indicating that if he walked away with nothing else he would be satisfied with that prize. Memphis did end up winning $50,000 with his second place finish, but as it turns out, he may not have won the car of his dreams.

TMZ is reporting that the problem is that the car is actually owned by someone else.  Not Big Brother. BB didn’t even have the title to the car. And get this, after the show, the car was returned to it’s original owner and soon after it was repainted!

While in the BB house Memphis was never told about the situation.  Then on Tuesday, after the show’s finale, he was informed and we’re quite sure he wasn’t very happy about it.

Producers of the show are now in negotiations to purchase the car from the owner or face shameful publicity over the incident. The owner of the Camaro, which can have a value from anywhere from $8K to $80K, wants $24,000 for the vehicle.
