There were multiple moments during MAFS Australia 2019 that we thought, “geez, you should go home now”.
Yet the contestants would clutch onto their position on the show for dear life.
Someone must be handing him a big fat wad of cash to remain in the soul-destroying experiment, we theorised. There is no other explanation.
But we’re pretty sure we’ve figured out how much contestants get paid per episode and it’s… not much at all.
During an Instagram Q&A on Wednesday, Telv Williams, revealed that stars get paid a rate of $150 a day, tax free.

Not a lot of money - but still a lot more than probably half the Australian population makes in a week after tax. I think they also stay because most of them display a certain level of narcissism and general desire to have their 15 minutes of fame, and probably for the shitty "appearance" money they get after the show is done and they turn up at events as a "D-grade" celeb.
Let's be honest - crap reality shows like this gave people radio jobs, TV hosting jobs, modelling contracts, etc.
i would love to see a rundown of their contractual obligations
Same. There would have to be penalties for leaving early, why else would you hang around? It’s not like the relationships are keeping them there.
