The mystery of the cache of the ‘Survivors’ contestants
Every time a new edition of Survivors begins, the public shows an insatiable curiosity to know the fees that the participants receive. Although neither Telecinco nor the production company, in this case Cuarzo TV, reveal this information, some former contestants have shared details about their financial compensation in various interviews and television appearances.
The revelation of Pipi Estrada
Recently, Pipi Estrada joined the list of former contestants who have revealed the amount they earned during their participation in the reality show. During an interview, Pipi shared that she received the sum of 30,000 euros per week during her time in the 2006 edition, where she was one of the most prominent participants.
During a heated debate on a television show, Pipi expressed her opinion about her motivation for staying on the show, stating that her main incentive was financial in nature. In his own words, financial compensation was a determining factor in his decision to remain in the competition.
The total received by Pipi Estrada
During her stay in the Caribbean, where the edition took place, Pipi stayed a total of 35 days, which translated into a total income of 150,000 euros for her participation in the reality show. It is important to remember that in that season, the winner was Carmen Russo, followed by Verónica Romero and Jesús de Manuel.
Contrast with more recent compensations
It is interesting to note that Pipi Estrada’s compensation almost two decades ago contrasts significantly with the remunerations revealed by other former contestants who participated in more recent editions of the program. Some contestants, with no prior television history, have shared considerably lower compensation, highlighting the evolution in compensation dynamics on the show over the years.
For example, Omar Sánchez revealed that he earned between 7,000 and 12,000 euros per week in the 2021 season, while Jonan Wiergo pocketed 2,500 euros per week in the 2023 edition.
Pipi Estrada Transparency
This is not the first time that Pipi Estrada shares details about her income. He has been in the news on numerous occasions for speaking openly about his compensation on reality shows and even for revealing on television the status of his financial debt to Terelu Campos.
