How much did Lisa get paid?

I think we had this before and the best sources said it was something around 340 a week.
No matter how you slice it - BB is a huge cash machine for the economy.
You asked such a 'good question' on why its being scrapped then?
Uh.. well in fact it is NOT being scrapped because it doesn't make money. It was stated up front it DOES still make them money,
but,
They believe they can replace it with something that will make EVEN MORE money.
And a lot of this is more than just 'straight Lucozade sales' which obviously keeps Lucozade delivery drivers employed. It is cash generated by (for example):
The 5 pounds you spent to vote Lisa OUT because you hate her. Great.
Well that kept someone at BT employed for an hour. Of went to a raise for the cleaning staff.
Times that by thousands and a whole lot of salaries at a whole lot of different sections of our economy just got paid this week!
They did not get laid off this month.
Yes, GDP is a funny thing. When you get hit by a car (or more likely beaten up outside a pub) that generates for the 'GDP' when the ambulance shows up and later bills. GDP is actually a strange way to look at things,
but,
Yes, Big Brother is a massive money generating machine for the GDP.
Taxis to Bromborough to cheer, security guards hired to protect Lisa and cardboard and glue bought for 'We Heart Lisa' placards are all going to the GDP.
Generating jobs and % going to tax money for the government.
What do you do towards that?
Would it even come close to what Lisas current job does?

Ok then splash here we go, the 20 numpties we see in the house are the tip of the iceberg, however brighter picture who actually produce lots of other programs employ lots more people so the cumulative amount of revenue generated is actually divisable by a lot more than just those 20, without all the background support there would be no foreground.
Lisa's worth is possibly 340 a week, i pay more in duties and taxes than that. (Incidentally is that better than a dance teacher?)
Lisa herself doesnt earn this country a lot, its not because of her, its because of the program she is in, if she wasnt there, there would be someone else there able to sit at the bus stop swill tea and say i was right/i knew that would happen/those effers in there are playing a game you know.
BB and Lucozade are very very small parts of the gross domestic product.
As for it making good money but could do better. in that case it would be snapped up by other TV companies.
You still have yet to provide one signficant fact that can be proven its still all hyperbole.
Incidentally the Lucozade sponsoship deal is for £800, 000. wow thats lots you will say, not compared to the £2.5 million per year of sponsorship from Virgin last year and the year before . ( wow a drop from 2.5 to 0.8 doesnt look so good does it?) Whats more those figures are verifiable both from press release, on endemols home site or on Wiki
