Paying for Drama
Top producers have paid other producers to create drama with bribes. Executive producer, Scott Jeffrees, would slip $100 bills into the pockets of producers who helped create the best and most dramatic TV moments for the show.
Televised Wedding
In addition to having to stay together for two years to keep the ring, producers also have the rights to the couple’s wedding should it occur within that two-year time frame. Contestants are paid $10,000 per hour of TV for their televised wedding specials.
