For nearly five seasons of Below deckViewers saw a professional development with fellow lead Eddie Lucas. He rose from the humble deck, caught in some early romantic tangles, all the way to first officer in season nine. son at this point. However, the 36-year-old is not back for another round of boating and bad advice, which seems to have inspired him to become open and honest about the wage discrepancy in Bravo between yachtsmen like him and stars from Real Housewives Franchise business.
Talking to New York PostBravo Network lamented what it considered an unfair arrangement. technically speaking, Below deck Its various subsidiaries track in real time the yachtsmen, engineers and captains going about their real day to day business. Of course, there’s some standard co-worker drama that’s expected to go downhill, since they also double as reality TV stars. According to Eddie Lucas, Notorious Real Housewives Staff members basically do half the amount of work like Below deckstars, but earn twice the pay (or more). In his words:
While we get paid better than a regular yacht, of course, we still don’t get paid what people like housewives do, which is a bit frustrating, because they don’t really work – they just go to dinner and fight.
For perspective, someone like Erika Jayne, who was a key teammate The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills For more than six years now, the salary is said to be over $600,000 for one season. For what it’s worth, she puts most of her entire life abroad for public consumption, even while facing an ongoing legal battle on multiple fronts. in contrast, Below deck The film stars for much shorter periods during the weeks-long rental season, and they don’t necessarily have to talk about their personal lives back home beyond what they choose to share on the boats.
However, as Eddie Lucas pointed out, Bravo’s reality TV yachtsman also deals with an extremely tight and stressful work schedule. The setup has paid off for Bravo for the most part, with Below deck even surpass The Real Housewives of Atlanta (the most popular in its franchise) ranked first in 2020, in Showbiz Cheat Sheet. It is claimed, however, that they only receive a small fee for their appearances, which is supposed to be only a few thousand dollars per episode (plus their regular salaries and gratuities from charter guests). Lucas seems to be hinting to the outlet that the status quo needs some change in this regard, particularly with regard to rising housing costs and other side effects of inflation.
Someone is monetizing the show, but it’s definitely not us. Under Deck – apart from being the most popular show on Bravo – we’re the lowest paid cast members.
For completely different reasons, Eddie Lucas called up the Bravo producers in particular last season. Controversy was brewing inside and outside Below deck Because of his teammate’s use of racial slurs, Lucas blamed the production for trying to shut down the conversations surrounding him. It has not been confirmed whether this is the reason why he will not be required to appear next season, but it may be plausible enough theory, based on his version of events:
I was not invited to return for another season. In fact, I didn’t get a phone call from them that they hired someone else – any sort of thing that says what production entails. Everyone at the bottom of the deck is non-consumable.
Officially, Bravo did not light up the tenth season of green Below deck. It’s clear, however, that Eddie Lucas remains privy to behind-the-scenes knowledge. But what he doesn’t know, in his opinion, is one of those quails Real Housewives Paychecks…
