im not sure how this could work.
the winner MUST be able to get permission to travel to australia for a start- there should be some fine print about that part.
secondly, at $20per entry, how can this be feasible?
4 days/3 nights at Lee's place wont cost much. lets say a grand at the most. Then there's another grand for enjoyment of activities and travel locally diving (need to have a diving license and therefore do the course which from memory is a day or two).
anywhoo, lets say Lee is a fully qualified dive instructor and can take someone down.
so its going to cost Lee about $2k all up.
He'll have to declare what he earns to the government, and thats taxed at 30% as a business, and as much as 42% if it ends up in his hands.
So for mine, I would think that he'd need about $4k to break even.
Now, $4k at $20 per entry is 200 entries.
Seriously, how many entries is this going to attract? I cant think of one person I know that would go, and many are BB fans, but most are just regular people. Out of the few dozen BB fans/trainers i keep in touch with, i cant think of anyone who'd go.
What's more, OS entries have to come up with the $2kUS to get over here and back..and thats one hellish 15 hour non stop flight from LA. more from anywhere else.
Now, if Lee had a regular job he might earn $1000 NET for that same time frame and he'd not have to live with some stranger for the week. So, to come out even when compared to a normal Joe's regular job, he'd have to get 300 entries.
Am I missing something?. is demand that great? BB shows here attract maybe 500 people once per year.
