Is there a list of how much the others were paid?

Not a list but there was an article on here somewhere on the start that said only Biggins and Sam Fox had been paid over a 100k and the lowest paid were Bear, Heavy D, Chloe and Marnie.

Best money they ever spent tbh :idc:

Surely the put it in property comment was a joke though, 12k is nothing really.

He did acknowledge on BOTS that he isn't a 'celeb' so felt weird in there. So I doubt the 'lack of payment' bothered him too much.

Bear seems to imply in the article that someone got 250k :suspect: IF that is true, it could only be Biggins realistically..maybe this is why they chucked him as they didn't want to pay out

Maybe it was Biggins then and then Sam Fox got the £150,000. I wonder if it was a similar amount to what she got for IAC.

3 grand a week for sitting on his arse while being fed and watered, not a bad earner for a nobody

Are the papers not saying he won £250,000 for winning ? which is very bizarre ? i'm confused CBB winners don't win money.

The prize is only for normal BB, not CBB.

......a plane ticket back to her life of obscurity in the US, hopefully never to darken our shores ever again! :wavey:

:laugh: Joke post of the month.

It is dickhead Bear who had a 'life of obscurity' outside of the domestic 'Reality' TV shows 'Shipwrecked' and 'Ex On The Beach', which had paltry average audience figures of 1 million viewers, and 328,000 respectively.

So, apart from the teeny, weeny, minority of British people who watched those shows, no one had ever heard of Stephen Bear, and bear in mind (no pun intended :hee:)that - unlike CBB - NEITHER of those shows were 'THE STEPHEN BEAR SHOW', and he was nothing more on either than part of an ensemble 'cast' of utter nobodies.

Aubrey O'Day, on the other hand, is INTERNATIONALLY famous as a PLATINUM selling member of two pop bands - the duo Dumblonde, and girl group Danity Kane.

She is an accomplished actress with a STARRING role as Amber Von Tussle in the BROADWAY production of 'Hairspray' among her many credits, was a very successful model, and is an accredited singer songwriter - and that is in addition to being INTERNATIONALLY famous (and recognisable, unlike Bear) from her numerous appearances on internationally syndicated 'Reality TV ' shows such as Donald Trump's 'The Apprentice USA', among others.

She also has a degree in Political Science and is a staunch supporter of several charities - from Breast Cancer to Homelessness, and even founded her own Charity; 'F.A.N. - Fighting Aids Now, as well as being a 'gay rights' activist who selected the "Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN)" as her charity for Celebrity Apprentice.

Oh, and she has also ranked no 86 on Maxim's 'Hot 100' list.

Meanwhile, Bear - thanks to his obnoxious yobbo conduct on the most dismal CBB to date - is now MODERATELY famous WITHIN the UK, but, being a 'one-trick-pony' - his lack of any REAL talent will ensure that his 15 minutes of fame is LITERALLY 15 minutes.

:clap1::clap1::clap1: More sense from one of our TIBB Queens.

They are working 24 hours a day as they are being filmed 24/7 so thats £17.85 an hour before tax, at the very basic rate of tax 20% taken.
He was earning at most:

£14.29 an hour. Less than double the minimum wage.

he could have gotten 12 million for appearing on BB and would still have been a prick :smug:

Depends how much of his tax free allowance he used up I guess

Well for me, that was a good buy, all the ones they paid a great deal more, failed to deliver much really, he with the likely least fee, won the show for a small cost.

Of which the Boominator must have been the lowest paid. What was he on, about a monkey? Which his local could have paid for, seeing as takings will have improved without Colin there, night after night. Molesting the bar maids, shouting, generally lowering the tone.

Ooh he can buy a one way ticket to Syria :clap1:

Bear says he was paid £12k but also got a £250k prize money which I think they would have only given to if Bear won. Ricky would have just got his fee like the rest do imo.

Okay, you love Stephen, he's like Bob Dylan in the sixties to the likes of you. an inspirational figure, who you aspire to be more like. But the show is on a budget. Why would it pay Stephen, or anyone else, a quid more than it had to?

He was overpaid

Feel sorry for Bear as he's obviously the runt in the family. Both his brothers are extremely successful (both millionaires) he's a flop financially hence his needygrasping for fame and fortune reality tv obsession. Wonder why brothers don't help him out more. The brother who spoke on boots is worth about £30m+. Bear can't even leave home at 26.

No wonder he's keen to return to Towie, yes return it was his first reality gig (even before Shipwrecked), he was in first ever episode

A civilian hm won 10x money than him and he was in the house only 20 more days than him.

Thats actually sad.. Sucks to be him i guess :D

Add on the fact that all his food is being paid for, free accommodation and entertainment. These need to be added to the amount you suggest. I'm sure most people on minimum wage, or on the same rate of pay you've worked out, would think he was very lucky to get paid that much for what he did.

However, even saying that, this is not work in the true sense of the word, and they are not working when asleep.

In fact, he's not worth minimum wage, let alone double it! This is in huge contrast to the people with real jobs who are struggling by on minimum wage

I certainly won't be sobbing into my tissue for him!

He's a grown man, for goodness sake! Why feel sorry for him? And why should his brothers help him out!?

Perhaps he should take responsibility for his own life, start acting with the maturity of a 26 year old man, and make more of himself if he feels like the runt of the litter! Why should anyone else have to be responsible for a man not far off 30!?

He really doesn't need your sympathy. If he's just earned £3,000 a week he's got plenty of cash to be going on with. If you want to feel sorry for someone, there are plenty of people in the world who are much more deserving of your sympathy than him, so maybe give a thought to them instead.

I'd like to see that list too.
