With respect, it sounds like you don't understand all of the details on how they make a show like this. It's true she only appears on camera for a small part of the day. And to be fair (in terms of attacking her schedule) its not like she has to memorize lines--everything's on cue cards for her, no doubt.
But TV, especially a show like BB, is very much a "hurry up and wait" situation, if you've heard that old expression. You get there very early for makeup and warddrobe. Even if you don't memorize lines, you need to do a whole blocking/rehearsal. Then you wait around for other people to do things, and you can't exactly leave the set and go home. It's still a fairly cushy job, and a lot of it is spent sitting on your ***, but your availability IS fairly tied up. It's not like you can duck out and do as many other TV shows as you'd like in the gaps.
