I’ve also noticed that Mary has turned off all comments on her Instagram

    $5 would make a difference.

    She literally sold a handful of shampoo hanging from her corner store shack for pennies that she said she broke even with. Do u know how poor the neighborhood must be to be buying shampoo at a handful at a time?

      She’s not getting paid though, from what I understand, and Brandan could likely make more just getting a regular job in the states, without all the mental trauma of being on TV.

        Your thinking about 90 day fiance.

        In the other way they are in the foreigner’s home country so it’s legal to pay them and they do.

          To no one in particular, on ANY show, wherever they’re shooting, the person doing the “acting” only gets paid if they are legal to work in that country. On a temporary basis, sometimes they get temporary work visas. There is no rule about anyone getting paid or not getting paid but for what I’ve just said. And no one gets paid until the end and no one gets someone else’s “share”. It’s pretty cut and dried. Legal? Paid. Not? Won’t.

              Further, they also only get paid for the number of episodes they actually show up in. These people can be filming for months, 12+ hours a day. After putting all that effort in, your story could still mostly end up on the cutting room floor.

        You are 100% wrong, the foreigners get paid. The only show where they don’t is 90 Day, sometimes HEA IF THEY DONT HAVE WORKING PAPERS YET. If they’re in their own country they get paid, the same way you get paid if you work in your country.
