I am sure that many times you have wondered what the attendees of the stands receive from this type of program.
Each program is a world in terms of awards. We already know that the salary of the contestants of Survivors, Big Brother or The Island of Temptations, as well as the prizes of the winners, are very diverse. Now, what about the public? In many cases we know that they come for free, for the mere pleasure of watching a live program. Another very different story is what happens in ‘Wheel of Fortune’program presented by Jorge Fernandez.
There are people who live from it. As public figures or supporting actors. It is already known that those who occupy the stands of the program are very active and do not stop pestering throughout the program. And if, all of them charge a little money for each emission. That yes, not much. As some of those who attend these programs affirm, this is a job that is “underpaid.”
Five euros an hour: the precarious salary of those attending La roulette of luck
We could say that attending ‘Wheel of Fortune’ It entails a salary of about 20 euros per day. We are talking about a shoot, not a program itself. In other words, they normally record two one-hour programs per day and between one thing and another they take a total of 4 hours, so we are talking about a salary of 5 euros per hour. Much or little, each one will see. We can compare it with a cleaning person at home or with a private teacher, who earn approximately double. It is also true that these two examples, oddly enough, involve professions that earn more money than the average per hour than most waiters, journalists, health personnel or the self-employed.
Seeing the salary paid by the chain, many of the attendees reject this type of work. But, What kind of people go to these programs? Usually actors. In many cases, casting calls to participate in the public are managed with actor and model agencies, who place one of their faces there as if it were a showcase, waiting for a casting director to take a look at them during the emission.
In general, these are young people or people who have just started in the world of acting, so neither their cachet nor their expectations are particularly high.
