“They hit me up and they were like, ‘Hey, do you want to do “Bachelor in Paradise,” this other show that pays $400 a day, and you could be there for up to 30 days,’ something like that,” Unglert told Tartick.

“So I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, great. Four hundred bucks a day, 30 days, $12,000, that’s fantastic,'” Unglert recalled.
Unglert eventually negotiated to $600 a day instead.
Unglert, who is dating Caelynn Miller-Keyes, claimed he was approached to be the lead for the “Bachelor” for $75,000. Tartick revealed he also was once considered for the role of “The Bachelor” and would have been offered $100,000 if he landed it. Colton Underwood ended up with the role that season.
I had no idea they paid the stars that much money. No wonder people put their lives on hold for this kind of thing. I knew they probably paid them, but not this well. Maybe I really should deeply consider going on this show.
I would love to be handed $100,000 to just be myself on national television.
