BIP - Season 2 - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Who are the "other 2 gals"??

Why isn't drama queen Juella back home w her kid?

Also when it was obvious there was no love match 4 her why didn't she go home as others did?

why does JJ not stay home w his kid too since he does not work?

Because he was getting paid to go on BIP--so was Juelia. RS said last year they made between $7000-15000--not bad for a 3 week vacation

Is there a reason why Amber James is not on the contestants list in the other thread?

Do you know where he said that? I searched his site for those numbers and couldn't find it. That honestly sounds like way too much, considering that there are ~30 cast members. That would end up being more than they pay the bachelor/ette lead and those shows do much better in ratings. I thought that Dylan had said they get paid per episode and it's a couple of hundred dollars to $1000 per episode in that podcast he did, which seems to make more sense to me.

The full cast wasn't announced therefore they weren't confirmed contestants until they arrived. As they come on the show, I create a new thread when someone lets me know. So thanks for letting me know.

As far as the payscale, I doubt very much that it's $7000 per episode. I think it's more like starting at $2000. Our resident chloep might be able to clarify for us or if anyone has info they'd like to share, other than what RS claims, feel free to post it.

ETA: google the figures, and RS will come up. He's always stated that, followed by he doesn't know for sure, blah blah

I don't think it is $7000-$15000 per episode...more like for the whole filming...if they are there for the full three weeks. I also remember him saying that not everyone got paid the same. Depending on how much the producers wanted them there, some got paid more than others. So it is quite possible that some got that amount and some much less.

I think the minimum wage for this type of TV is a little over 2000 per ep.

After watching Clare's exit last night I'm going to say that contestants like her and possibly Tenley should stay far away from this format in future and focus on meeting good guys in real life. Didn't see Tenley address this (Clare's exit) on her periscope at all but it would be curious how she would respond to a twitter question on this.

I don't have a problem with some of the former contestants coming back over and over. However when they cry the blues and expect sympathy rather than take an I tried and it didn't work attitude, I find it annoying.

Is there a grand reunion scheduled at the end of bip?
I don't remember what they did last season. I ask this because someone suggested it to tenley and she seemed to be excited at that possibility. Which made me think thatchers is nothing scheduled.

They didn't do anything last year, but I know people really wanted it, which is probably why they decided to do After Paradise. I could see them bringing back the whole cast to After Paradise on the last episode, although I have a feeling they'll just bring the final three couples/Jonathan.

Do you mean After Paradise?

Lacy and Marcus got engaged. They brought a few of the married couples back to join them for the surprise engagement.
