The revelation of the economic cost of abandoning “Survivors” has surprised many. In the last program of the reality show, the rapper Arkano activated the abandonment protocol after suffering an anxiety attack, expressing his desire to return to Spain. “I do not want to be here. I’m sorry. I don’t want my family to be overwhelmed. I want to maintain my composure. I don’t want to be here, I just don’t want to be here and that’s it. It doesn’t make sense to me, I’ve reached my limit. “That’s it!” declared Arkano, visibly affected.
However, one of the factors that Arkano will have to consider is the significant financial penalty for leaving the contest early. Until now, the exact amount of this clause had not been revealed to the public. In the program ‘Not even that we were Shhh’, broadcast by Quickie, Víctor Sandoval revealed that the minimum cost for contestants who decide to leave ‘Survivors’ is 60,000 euros. “I’m telling you that if you see what you have to pay, you won’t want to give up. It happened to Mila Ximénez and me on ‘Big Brother VIP,'” Sandoval commented.
The collaborator explained that this figure may vary depending on the specific contract and the conditions agreed upon by each contestant with the reality show organization. “This is supposed to be used to cover the costs of transfers, hotels, medical services, etc., which they charge you in case of abandonment,” added Sandoval.
For his part, Kiko Matamoros provided more details about the penalty, pointing out that the cost can increase depending on the celebrity’s cache. “In addition to the minimum, what you earn in a week is also multiplied by three,” explained Matamoros, emphasizing that the penalty is designed to make it unprofitable to abandon the program.
Kiko himself also indicated that the moment at which the contest is abandoned also influences the final figure, increasing significantly if the abandonment occurs in advanced stages of the reality show. This revelation highlights the strict conditions faced by the ‘Survivors’ participants, meaning that Arkano’s decision must be carefully weighed.
