Do 'Single's Inferno' cast members get paid?

Ever since the release of Netflix's dating show's first season, it has engrossed millions of fans. This has many wonders how much the winners or the contestants, in general, get paid. According to Hidden Remote, 'Single's Inferno', unlike other dating shows, does not provide any monetary incentive or bonus to its winners. The only thing the winner gets, in the end, is a connection. Netflix's dating show focuses on engaging in making romantic and real connections. 

It is not revealed how much 'Single's Inferno' cast members get paid on a weekly or episode basis. But it is speculated that the amount paid must be somewhere close to that of Netflix's other dating shows. 'Single's Inferno' is almost similar to 'Love is Blind.' In 'Love is Blind', cast members live in pods before moving to the romantic getaway. Similarly, 'Single's Inferno' cast members live in an inferno before moving to paradise. As the show proceeds and contestants succeed to make their survival possible, their payment is also expected to increase. Women's Health Magazine reports Netflix pays 'Love is Blind' cast members between $1,000 to $8,000 per week. 

'Single's Inferno' Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2 are now available on Netflix.
