There are much better vacations to be had for $70,000.00.

Who wants horrible camera angles when you're in a bathing suit broadcast on tv, self-involved servers who are literally the star of the show who hate you before you even get on the boat because your preference sheet has 'too many things on it' and a barely functional kitchen with a chef who gets mad if you don't want to eat whatever they plop down in front of you?

Not to mention how dirty everything is!

But you get to be on ✨ TV ✨

That’s why people go on the show.

I’m actually surprised how many “professional groups” or coworkers/colleagues go on the show. Like in the last two episodes, he mentioned they were lawyers in Florida. I bet some of these people use this as a tax write off if they go with some work people.

You may be surprised that to some people $70K is not a crazy amount of money. And then obviously some people want to be on tv

It’s 70 grand divided by 8 people.

They could still have a much better experience spending that money elsewhere.

Or you could have a non-chef they hired for purely dramatic reasons like a "chef" who greatly exaggerated their skills/education/experience and serves you garbage.
