Yup, it does take a lot of 20%'s to pay for my Saab convertible. No work, no pay! No pay, no play...

We just missed out on getting someone on Celebrity Apprentice (made the top 50). The appearance fee this season is something like $100,000. For Surreal Life it's $75K for 12 days work. Back in the dark age of reality TV, I recall NBC paid the women on Average Joe: Adam Returns only about $25 per day per diem. Back then, NBC could have a top 50 show in the ratings and still make a fortune.

It's so crazy how "reality" tv is so formulaic now, that companies can do this. More power to ya, though!

i often say that i hate how reality tv has become all models and actors, but when i think back to the good old days, big brother 1 almost put me to sleep with those real boring people! a little flash doesn't hurt keep the audience interested and if that means getting show business people, so be it.
