A lot of the fees are just token amounts, the BOTS audience are paid £1.

Abolish the z list 'special guests' and have true fans of the show who have causally watched the series. Remember James Argent stumbling his way around his idiot sheet without a clue as to who was who?

Use the money from scrapping the guests and reinvest it for better tasks.

If anyone from the production team would like more ideas on how I can ,prove the show please send me a message

I think the only reason this guest is on the show was because she was an ex celeb housemate. But from the sounds of the call she has none/very little cash.

I agree though, I rarely watch bots. It's just a wannabe kinda show.

I'd say the same deals on the table for Iain Lee ?

but when you consider that tax and agent's % still have to come out of that £500... your office job which is regular starts to look a lot more attractive - and you can post on Digital Spy at 4:30 in the afternoon!

how much of the £500 do they really get to hold in their hot little hands? I bet it's not much more than £250/300 and if they're only getting a couple of jobs a week... one hell of a precarious existence.
Haha I work 8-4, I wasn't skiving

But yeah you're right, I suppose tax/fees etc would bring it down a lot and considering it's not regular work, it may have to last some guests a while if they've not much else going on.

Although I've always wondered why z listers have agents at all. Surely if they booked themselves and spoke to producers etc they could arrange a dedent fee without the pain of having to go through an agent.

You'll have to refresh my memory mate.
Bailiff who got drunk and paranoid too soon. Didn't help with Lydia in there plotting and scheming every chance she had.

She's paid the most isn't she? probably more than Emma.
