How Much Do Reality TV Stars Get Paid?



According to E! Online, the likes of Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, and Spencer Pratt (Simply Suds' favorite) get paid an estimated $10K - $25K per episode.

"Most reality shows, like Big Brother, will guarantee participants at least 50 grand per season."

"...That doesn't include all the free tank tops and lip gloss these kids can haul into their free apartments with their spindly little arms. I would be shocked if Heidi has paid for anything she's worn, lived in or placed in her hair over the past six months. That's what ambitious publicists are for."

"And there's even more cash to be made, if these girls are smart. LC, for one, has parlayed her 'fame' into a fashion line and an endorsement deal with Mark cosmetics.

"There is so much aftermarket money. It's not unusual for these people to double, triple, quadruple their money through endorsements."

...First off, does this surprise anyone -- is this too much or too little? When it comes to reality TV, who makes out best? The randomly chosen participants or the mega networks which reel in serious cake off no-names? Are the characters paid residuals off DVD sales? I have so many questions - there's got to be some reader out there that can answer them...

As a side note, does MTV's Real World cast get paid anything per episode? I was always under the impression that the chosen cast mates didn't see a cent (90% of the cast mates are flat-broke all the time), but now I'm torn. I only ask such a specific question because, some 3-4 years ago, I was one of the final cuts of one of the past seasons. MTV's loss! Crack all you want, your insults fall on deaf ears...

Did you actually send in a video of yourself?

No, I was walking around Boston w/ a friend...when we passed The Rack, which was holding auditions at the time. I proceeded to cut the line and spit game at one of the girls that was interviewing the candidates. For the next few weeks, MTV couldn't get enough of me...that is, until they axed me.

I think I remember hearing that the Real World cast was paid my MTV after the season finished taping... and MTV deducts $ for anything that the cast breaks in the house. although i'm pretty sure they are paid weekly when they "work," and all those drinks and meals are free since MTV always shows the sign of the bar/restaurant for about 30 seconds.

Chieftain... did your interviews ever make it to one of those casting specials MTV runs before each season?

The Real World interviews with Chieftain do exist, but unfortunately they're locked up with his Abercrombie photo shoot portfolio.

God, what I would pay to get my hands on those!

Chieftain said...

Wow, from out of left field...

I'm dying to know who Herb Ritts really is.

For the record, I don't think any interview clips exist - at least I never saw them.

Well, If you have ever thought about writing some script to automate those things that you do many times on a daily basis, then you have a great and easy way to automate the entir e process. It comes without saying that a few imacros and firefox add-ons can automate all actions connected to a browser (Mozilla). If you wish to automate your system as such, then you will need another script, easy commands will automate your system. Even a beginner can automate things using a simple software called as sikuli all you need to do is to tell Sikuli what to do by giving some screenshots and straightforward commands.
A GUI can be used with Sikuli. Sikuli is an open siurce scripting application that will use a combination of simple commands like click, type, wait and so on. There's no internal API support, it simply searches the screen for the image within the screenshot-which implies that you can use it for anything. There's literally no limit on how you use it to automate things.
This is too good to be true, but if you watch the subsequent video, you will come to know that this is extremely easy. If you visit their home page, you get a lot of tutorials and support; it can be a cake walk even for beginners. You'll be able to check the video as well as get the software at [url=http://technoages.com/operating-system/apple-mac-os/automate-everything-through-a-simple-script-make-your-computer-listen-to-you/]TechnoAges.com[/url]
