Because if it's the latter, then I understand the rationale much better from some of these Bowie Jane type players that know they're drawing dead, but are content to coast as far as possible doing nothing.
From what I understand for BB, it's $1000 a week for as long as you last, and if you make jury that includes time in the jury house. So $13k if you make it to finale night as part of the jury.
Plus you also have to consider they can make appearances, probably get minor product endorsements, a bit of small celebrity fame.
