People get paid to do reality shows, but nobody - no contestant - is doing it, probably, for the money. It's usually only a hundred or two hundred for the day. You may be taking a chance at winning a big prize, which might be a draw for you to do it. And you will be paid for every day that you do it, but it's not very much. It's just kind of to make up for the fact that you probably left your job, or whatever.
