PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Idol gets cheaper."
Ignore the part about "most talented singer" and just look at the numbers.

You can understand why the backers would be getting a little sick of throwing money after slow-selling releases, but to bring Jessica down to that level of paycheck is insulting. After all, given the praise thrown at her during the season, they're offending the single most gifted performer in the history of civilization! Either that or they're getting that worthy on the ultra-cheap. And will lock her up at that rate for ten years or so, then pretend not to understand why she'd want to switch companies when her contract expires.

They're funny that way.

Depending on the wording, Jessica may have a Get Out Of Svck Free card waiting when she turns eighteen.

It would seem Idol and Facebook may be headed in the same direction!

Interesting. I am curious, do these people get paid for being on the show? (i.e. is this discussion just the contracts for after the show?) If this is total comp then insanely small payout for all they go through and compared to, say, Survivor.

On Survivor we know the winner gets $1M and second place gets $100K (and they grade down from there). TAR winners split $1M, and there are lots of stage win prizes ($3K+ per ep?), but what do the other ranking teams get?

Anyone have data on other shows?

I had always assumed that all these shows paid some sort of minimum amount per episode while someone stays alive in the game.

Some. The main element for contestant income is 'make the tour'. According to the last data we had, they receive about $1k to $1500 per week of on-show performance. (No idea on the Ford commercials, which may collect some form of scale.) But going on the summer tour is generally valued around 300k.

The music contracts -- are music contracts. Read 'oppressive, dignity-stealing, and paying for the honor of your own sabotage'. You're not necessarily lucky not to wind up broke, but it takes a small sales miracle to funnel any real cash into your own pocket.
