"According to Showbiz CheatSheet, the newbies that producers throw into the mix only make $1,000 per week. While that's not peanuts by any means, the contestants who make this much definitely aren't getting rich from appearing on the show, unless of course, they go home with some prize money, too. It makes sense though that producers would compensate newbies less given that they're unknown quantities who may not garner as much attention and popularity among viewers as the season plays out.
Next up on the tiered payment system are veterans of the reality TV empire, who are already recognizable to a degree but don't have a huge following and fan base. These players make a weekly salary of between $3,000 and $5,000, which isn't too shabby, especially if they're able to stay in the competition for more than just a few weeks."
