i guess it kinda makes sense for a new cast member
ultimately the show is taking a bit of a risk on them to see how the audience will respond
it can go either way. which is why we've seen some "friends" of the show only stay one season and then get the boot
they added no value which could bring in more viewers/money for the network
i guess the lil 1K mess is like a trial agreement.
some people may say "she did all DAT for just 1k?" but id assume you really have to BRING it as best you can to secure your more permanent spot and bigger money.
it makes sense.
both the new cast member and bravo are both kinda rolling the dice on one another, which is fair.
i thought 1k was completely unbelievable at first but i get it now.
