You're predicting the "death of the show"? Let's just see if you're wrong about that. Though I don't watch it seems clear that viewership and public attention is up, so the show is doing great.

I read the "celebrity" contestants get a base amount (reported to be $125K in prior years and $200K this year) regardless of how long they last and additional amounts based on how long they last. So if Bristol is in the "final two" - I'll take your word for that as I don't watch the show - she'll probably be making $250 - 300K out of this. Doesn't that warm your heart? She'll probably be able to trade in the '97 Ford truck on a new one when she drives back home.
