Despite what random, definitely not legit, casting call websites like this one say, no one is getting $2,000 per week to go on Temptation Island. Unfortunately, this is not a get-paid-to-play scenario. The four couples who decide to take what is undoubtedly a dying relationship and toss it into a hot fire, are doing this free of charge.

Their expenses, such as flights and accommodations, are taken care of and a small stipend could be provided — but as far as earning money while there, it's not gonna happen. In fact, depending on a contestant's employment status, they could end up losing money. In order to participate on the show, they have to remain on the island for four weeks of filming. Not many folks have four weeks of vacation time which means somebody is losing some wages, or even an entire job.

Getting paid to be on a reality show is certainly an option, but it's normally in the form of prize money. To no one's surprise, there are really no winners on Temptation Island. According to E News, shows like Survivor and Big Brother dole out fairly large amounts of cash to their winners ($1 million and $500,000 respectively). That makes a lot of sense because look at what those folks go through to get it. Temptation Island doesn't break you as much as it heartbreaks you.
