According to the recent lawsuit filed against the show by Season 2 contestant Jeremy Hartwell, Netflix pays $1,000 a week, up to $8,000 depending upon the length of the show. Moreover, US Magazine reports a lawsuit claiming that the cast members work for more than twenty hours a week. And, the wage rate is as little as $7.14 per hour, way low than the minimum wage in California of $15 per hour.
If the claims filed in the lawsuit are considered to be true then the cast members get minimal income from the show. However, they can not be dependent only on the show's income. Therefore, most of the single that is featured in the show are working people who either already have a settled life or are looking forward to achieving their dream career. Well, the only thing the cast members of 'Love is Blind' gets is exposure to the reality world and sometimes if their luck is too good they even find the love of their life that lasts long.
