This is all standard reality show contract stuff (image/likeness, etc) except for the YouTube stuff. But somebody there got smart regarding the YouTube/internet stuff. Unfortch, the contract gives 90% of earnings from videos to World of Wonder as the MCN. My MCN (Fullscreen) takes 10%. It’s a very lopsided deal but people will sign it because it’s the best shot at a springboard for a change at making a splash. I wonder if it was in the All-Stars contract for people with established channels like Alaska? I don’t think she’s in their MCN is she ? She was making YouTubes before her stints on the game show. I could just text her lol but if I did, I guess I’d feel strange talking about my friends business on the internet lol.

Yea. So to be simple. It’s a strange deal. But World of Wonder missed out on a lot of earnings by not having the girls locked up into contracts from S1. The Voice, American Idol, Project Runway, all the major shows have management clauses where they collect future earnings and get to approve management from the start. They didn’t add this to RDR contracts until S6 or 7 I heard. WoW lost out on lots. I mean just going by what I’ve seen some of these new chickens get paid. It’s like they gave away bundles of money by not having the standard operating agreement in place (and I’m glad- because it’s hard to get outta. There’s a reason Jay McCarrol from S1 Project Runway didn’t take the prize money. Run and Google that).

I know I broke my own rule and just talked about the program but it’s interesting to see this clause and I dunno if this will come off as bitter or as in the manner i intended it- which is to to enlighten those that think WoW is corrupt. They’re not; they’re just business people and if they can get people to sign that deal, more power to them). They produce highly watchable content for as cheap as possible. If you knew how much the girls get paid per ep, honey… Or worse- the story producers on salary for a grand a week but who work 60 hours a week so after taxes/hourly breakdown, it works out to be less than minimum wage. Dang. That’s some labor board shit but people will sign whatever they have to work on hit shows and bitch later. They know it’s a hard shoot. Hell, I knew. But they don’t give raises either even after being there years. It’s called “breaking top of show” meaning they don’t break the standard rate offered and that’s their standard rate. The things that Magical Elves used to say about them to me during Breakdown S1 was real damn eye opening and made me not feel alone in my ire. Everyone has worked with WoW at some point and we all talk (good, bad and otherwise). But just stating facts. Information is power. I’m sure someone’ll get mad at me for saying this on Reddit or at the mothershit but thankfully they’re probably still mad from something else i did. lol.
