8. Guests Had To Pay Taxes

We already revealed that the $5,000 worth of winnings had to include the tailored services and makeup services, but what you didn’t know was that the guests had to pay for the taxes on everything as well. Which means they had even less than they thought they did. That totally sucks. Guests were constantly warned not to spend too much. “One of the producers told me the first day to not spend all $5,000 and set aside some of the money for taxes.” The contestant found it hard not to spend the money because

she was never certain how much she really had. “

As you are shopping, someone else has control of your money. It isn’t like you are walking around with $5,000 in your pocket, so it is difficult to know how much you have spent and when to stop. I constantly checked in on where I was money wise!”

We can’t blame them, we all have our favorite outfits and it’s hard to let go of clothes sometimes, even if it’s the right thing to do. When it comes to their clothes, they have to allow people into their homes to rummage through their things. When the clothes get thrown in the trash, they are actually donated to an organization. But what you may not know is that usually,

they were allowed to take some clothes back, especially if some of them had sentimental value to them.

That never happened, however instead, nothing was kept, all was donated, even against the contestant’s wishes. It’s really kind of cold and we don’t know why they just don’t give the clothing back since the $5,000 doesn’t cover much.
