Well, Areya said if he wins he's sending money to Israel so we're in the same position as Burt.
They need to just pay the person who earned the money. If they're so concerned about how its going to be used rig it for someone else to win.
I've not watched enough of it live to know whether he said that more often than how he wants to invest it and how he failed at everything in live and at this point, he's gonna be homeless when his parents die.
As far as I'm aware the price money is 8k this season and everything else is fishbucks. No matter what you think about Jins elimination, they paid out his fishbucks and paid for his flights. So I'd trust them to pay Aryhe. They seem to actually like him. The weird stuff they make him do, doesn't feel mean spirited, as opposed to what they did Burt do. (I'm not complaining about that and I don't think Burt had a problem with it in the moment it was happening.)
If they didn't pay Burt, and that was the reason (though I'm not entirely convinced about either of those things), then that would be completely nonsensical and rather pathetic.
Despite Burt's supposed "degeneracy", they were fine with utilising him for their own profit - i.e. they were making money themselves from peddling Burt's degeneracy. Turning their nose up at it, when they've displayed it for their own gain, is hypocritical. Sam even had the cheek to go on Alex Stein the other day and say "if your business model involves degeneracy I'm not impressed".
They were also still fine with paying Burt fishbucks for deservedly winning the challenges, so I don't see how it's any morally different to pay Burt for deservedly winning the show. It'd be like hiring a hooker for a suck 'n' fuck, but afterwards trying to only pay them the amount for the suck because "ethical reasons"...
Burt was a cash cow for them, the same way Rachel was. He had the bonus, that they didn't have to tardwrangle him as much. I remember a lot of people early in season 3 predicting, that he's gonna burn out quick and he didn't, so maybe they were kind of stuck with him. They couldn't let Binx win, because despite of all her simps, kiwifarms wasn't the only place that hated her.
From a moral standpoint, I think people don't give production enough credit for acknowledging genuine disorders of their contestants. The reason for Burt being seen as wholesome as opposed to someone like Jin, is because it's obvious that he has less agency over his weird behavior. I'm not excusing it, nor am I saying he has no agency at all. I do however think it is appropriate to measure his behavior on a different scale than, let's say Rachel. She is batshit insane, but in a way where it's a lot more her fault than Burt's.
With Aryhe it's obvious that he puts his foot in his mouth quite a lot, sometimes he's just too honest and sometimes it just comes of as him trying to repeat "the right answer" he was taught. Again, I think it's very obvious that they like him outside of being content.
Famous person likely to be Fuentes or Bam Margera, Bam is apparently in RI right now and Fuentes was already hinted at on Sam's podcast tour. Them cleaning all the alcohol out would definitely be a thing they would do if it's Bam.
Please let it be Bam. They're doing so many call backs to season one, this would be absolutely perfect.
oh no broes
