That happened to my sisters friend actually during BB7.

I never understood the reason until now LOL

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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/entertainmen...other/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/r...03/facts.shtml

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

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.

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!!
