Reality show morons typically make very little per episode and even less when it's only a pilot or the show itself is in it's trial phase.

The cast of Jersey Shore only made $5,000 per episode in the first season and it was already one of MTV's highest rated shows ever and on an established network.

IIRC, they only made like $15,000 an episode on the second season. It wasn't until the third season that they moved up to like $50,000 an episode.

To answer your question: Probably less than $5,000 each. The idea for any reality TV show as_hole is to eventually move on to something more lucrative. No reality tv star ever got rich SOLELY from being on a reality tv show.

Saw this last night by accident.


Kevin comes off as very arrogant and a GIANT douchebag.

I am sure this show will last a very long time and get good ratings.

This pretty much happened. I hate being negative on these types of things but this show was honestly a painful 30 minutes to watch. Seems like the producers made Liv and Kevin try too hard. Fwiw I normally love all poker shows. I was a huge fan of 2m2m.

kevin is an extremely nice and down to earth guy - haven't seen the episode but if people are saying he's an arrogant douche after watching it i think i'll pass cause i would have never described him that way.

bragging and being arrogant doesn't transmit a good poker image.

just saying.

Show was contrived and set up. Just put cameras on them and edit that. "10 10 is a very good hand", "JJ is a very good hand"? Was filmed in a week and maybe less. Hope it doesn't get worse or they've run out of ideas already. I hope those two are angle shooting.

^ This. It was a pretty painful 30 minutes. They came across as conceited fame-hungry douchebags. As everyone else has also said, really surprised at Kev. I always liked him as I thought he was a down to earth, humble guy who wouldn't be the type of person to touch a show like this. No surprises with Liv though really.

At least with the Jonny Chan/Brunson reality show, none of the people involved seem to take themselves too seriously. As lame as that show also looks.

I don't care if they come across as huge d-bags. I'm bored and want to watch it. Needs links. But I doubt anyone recorded it.

Any idea on how well she does in online MTT's? She seems to make afew deep runs here and there, and I remember her winning a big sunday tourney (maybe the sunday warm up?) last year I think.

She did quite good in MTTs last year. I remember looking at her OPR page just out of chance about 2 days before she hid her OPR results. She made about 190k profit last year (she won the warmp up and a couple of other smaller tourneys I think) which is pretty good - but then this year it showed that she was down about 90k. But can't see anymore because it's hidden now.

*And Mike Johnson I think he meant her cashes in relation to the volume/number of tournaments she's played since her EPT win. I can't think of more people who play more tournaments than her. Not that it's a big deal. She's still +ROI% live even it has just been min cashes in 10% of tournaments she's played since. I wouldn't mind a couple of -ROI/break even years if I had had had a big EPT win.

It's so hard to quantify live MTT -ROI because people are generally just guessing at how many events/buyins a player has played. While she does seem to play a lot(who wouldn't if many of your buy-ins are paid on your behalf) it may also appear that she plays more than others who travel the circuit because she gets prime coverage/chip counts/interviews etc.. every stop she makes. Just a guess here, but she probably also plays in some events because she is specifically requested to make an appearance(ladies events etc..) where she may not be giving it 100% at all times. This would effect her overall ROI as well. I have never heard anyone specifically mention that she plays badly.

I agree with all your points Mike. She does play a huge amount but yeah you're right, can't really say whether she's played "much more" than other pros. They all probably play the same EPTs and same amount of WSOPs anyway. And yeah like you said, some buy ins are probably paid for so even if they appear down, they might actually have broken even or be in profit.

I wanted to like this. I was a fan of 2M2MM. However, the show makes them come off worse than arrogant and douchey. It makes them (and by their own words poker pros in general) look like they aren't smart enough to factor variance into their bankroll/life roll management. They spent over $8000 between the two of them on top of the buy-ins on the trip to Monte Carlo, and since neither cashed in this particular tournament, now they say have to tighten their belts and be more thrifty on their next tourney stop. They're living week-to-week based on their tourney results?

I'm sure this was part of the script for this "reality" tv show, but it still makes tournament poker pros look like idiots. Also, I wish they would stop saying things like the poker pro lifestyle is very expensive. First, not all poker pros are solely on the tournament circuit, and second, of course it's expensive if you choose to live like a billionaire but apparently don't have nearly the kind of life roll that can sustain it.
