Housemates on £30 a day

[ILoveTRW]

Corin just said on live feed
wow thats quite a lot for just sitting around in a house

[Annie]

Are they getting paid!? Or is that the prize money?!

[Lucy.]

They get paid for just being on the show? :shocked:

[Jessica.]

OMG I earned more than that in my job last summer! :laugh:

[starry]

They have always been paid around that as far as I know, and it's a pittance considering how much money Endemol make from it.

[ILoveTRW]

lol at corin, "here whoevers cleaned that bath has done a good job, they need another 30 quid"

[ILoveTRW]

Are they getting paid!? Or is that the prize money?!

just for being on the show
no wonder they dont want to get evicted

[Annie]

OMG no wonder people want to be in big brother! i always wanted to be on big brother but just for the experience. i didnt realise you got paid for it!! :shocked:

[Jase]

Its £30, thats nothing compared to there usual job

[Patrick]

lol at corin, "here whoevers cleaned that bath has done a good job, they need another 30 quid"

:joker::joker::joker:

[fingers]

If you can last for 90 days, then you get £2,700, not bad for three months of faking.

[President]

You can earn more on a minimum wage. £30 is crap, franky! No wonder normal people don't want to leave their decent paying jobs to go on BB.

[Annie]

Its not crap when you think that people would be in there for nothing!

[Josy]

30 Quid LOL :hugesmile:

[ILoveTRW]

Its £30, thats nothing compared to there usual job

yeah but a usual job involves work, this involves sitting around
plus you get feed and dont have to pay utility bills

[Appearance_Of_A_Junky]

You earn more on a minimum wage. £30 is crap, franky! No wonder normal people don't want to leave their decent paying jobs to go on BB.

but they dont spend any money on food, bills (other than rent and basic bills at home which will need to be paid) but they wont use things like gas and leccy.

its not bad for doing nowt but its not good either.

[starry]

They are the stars of the TV show, although McCall probably thinks she is the main star lol the millions she gets paid.

[President]

yeah but a usual job involves work, this involves sitting around

Still crap in the long term.

Some people quit their jobs, go on BB, and find it hard to get another job due to their poor reputation. For any normal bloke who has a normal job, it's not worth going into BB for IMO!

[President]

Yeah okay they get free food, free drinks etc. But loads of ex housemates have said they couldn't find a job in ages because they were in BB. It's ruined people's lives.

[GypsyGoth]

I'd like £30 a day.

[King Gizzard]

Lol as far as I can tell most of them were jobless anyway

Corin unemployed, Keeva student, Jovan unemployed, JJ unemployed, Mario unemployed (I think?), Dave a full time minister..

[Annie]

When I was going to apply last year for BB, my manager found out and he said to me that I would need to leave my job before hand because of where I work and it cant be seen that the government is employing nutters who go on BB. Thats why I didnt do it incase I couldnt get my job back when I came back out.

[starry]

They are basically opening their lives up to the press and up for ridicule even on other Big Brother programs, and Endemol make millions out of it.

[Real]

How will JJ get round this then? He will be on a Visitor Visa and not allowed to work???

[Patrick]

That happened to my sisters friend actually during BB7.

I never understood the reason until now LOL

[InOne]

His parents are English

[Real]

His parents are English

Oh Right.. Thanks... But have seen some of the progs about immigration control and they are not allowed to work.. If that's the case then thanks for sorting this out.

[Appearance_Of_A_Junky]

His parents are English

and when he goes back to Australia he can claim all the tax back as well.

[InOne]

He has an English Passport, he could even sign on lol

[InOne]

Aussie caaaaaaaaaant lol

[LiquidGold]

Its £30, thats nothing compared to there usual job

how can they get paid exactly? there not celebrities! plus when they all leave thats when they make money with the interviewes, tv appearances and photo shoots etc

[starry]

If they aren't celebrities then why are you watching them on a TV program?

[BrooklynFan]

30 quid is nothing. many of these people still have rent and bills to pay back home. Or ppl like Dave who have a family to support. 210 quid a week is a joke. its not even minimum wage.

[Shasown]

How will JJ get round this then? He will be on a Visitor Visa and not allowed to work???

He may be on a visa that allows work to support their visit, even Aussies can get them, that is if he really is an Aussie, and doesnt hold a British Passport.

how can they get paid exactly? there not celebrities! plus when they all leave thats when they make money with the interviewes, tv appearances and photo shoots etc

Agreed Equity rates, for UK reality TV shows. They are technically entertainers.

[Bonneh]

that is if he really is an Aussie, and doesnt hold a British Passport.

Pay attention fella, he has dual nationality.

[billy123]

everybody gets paid not just celebrity's they also continue to get the £30 per day for a week after they leave and are required by a contract that they sign to be available for presscalls arranged by bb and appearences on bblb and bbbm after a week is up then they get paid.
if they walk out of the house,get thrown out or refuse to take part in any big brother related shows they are asked to do while they are still in contract then they can be deemed in breach of contract and not receive a penny for the whole thing.

it is a pittance they get paid but once they are out of the house you would have to be pretty stupid to not be able to make a few £k's from at least doing a few interviews etc.

[Harry!]

Just think that per housemate you could buy 2 season live feed passes and still have 2p change!

[billy123]

Just think that per housemate you could buy 2 season live feed passes and still have 2p change!bargain live feed for you and your mate and a fruit salad sweet each.

[eye sea]

They have always been paid around that as far as I know, and it's a pittance considering how much money Endemol make from it.

I think it used to be just FIVE POUNDS A DAY.

[Jords]

Oh thats not bad at all!

yes but i thought they only got paid from when they leave by doing interviews and all that publicity sutff!!!!!!!!! but your saying they get paid to be in the house and sit on their arses????????!!!!!!!!! :shocked: aswell as all the money they''l make from tv shows etc when they leave!!!!! . where does it say £30 a day?????????????????????? give me the linfo link please!!!!!!! i want proof cause it sounds soo silly cause as if they wont get paid enough when they leave but on top of that they get paid for being in the house

[billy123]

its hardly sitting on your arse all day trust me they are all under severe mental pressure in that house.

im not spending time rooting round the net to prove something everybody knows is correct but here is proof that they were paid from the very start. (faq 7 while they were looking for bb3 contestants) http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/B/bigbrother/faq.html

proof it was £30 per day for bb4 which was 7 years ago so it could well be more now http://www.bbc.co.uk/threecounties/read_this/big_brother/big_brother_2003/facts.shtml

the bbusa is a bit better paid http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_do_you_get_paid_for_being_on_big_brother

[edge_]

Someone told me they get about £500 a week for being in.

[Beastie]

They will be getting paid 30 quid a day which will go towards their bills and stuff at home in the outside world.

[Beastie]

30 quid is nothing. many of these people still have rent and bills to pay back home. Or ppl like Dave who have a family to support. 210 quid a week is a joke. its not even minimum wage.

Ey true but they will ALL make money once leaving the house.. ALL at least make a few grand out of magazine interviews and shizz. Anyways its tough. If you think you are not getting paid enough by big brother to support bills and sh!t at home then DON'T go on BB.

[Beastie]

Yeah okay they get free food, free drinks etc. But loads of ex housemates have said they couldn't find a job in ages because they were in BB. It's ruined people's lives.

Oh boo hoo.. they should have thought about that before going on BB. The delluded fools who only go on BB for fame.. to have money given to them on a plate when they leave the house. For most the work just dries up for them.. my advice.. go get a normal job if media work shrivells up!!
