Jenna was on Twitter saying that she was gonna buy a new car, asking which she should buy. Does this mean that she made the finale and won some money???
Jonna just bought a car does that mean she won? NO, the only thing they have got is their apperance check...Nobody that made the final have got any money yet other than their apperances check.
I even got a DM of someone telling me Leroy was smiling in the picture that Nnay posted, I think he won over that smile o.O LMAOOO
Sarah is the most WELL ROUNDED girl this season but in terms of individual attributes, she can be beaten handily. Nia can take her in anything strength related, Nany is scrappier and more physical IMO, Theresa has better cardio. What makes Sarah such a threat is that she is a package of decent endurance, size, puzzle ability, and more experience than any other girl there. She has no real weaknesses.
I really don't see how she can't win this season. She has a decent male partner(just like everyone else) and she's like 7 challenges deep with far more experience than Nany, Theresa, or Nia. I'm sure a lot of the cast mates feel sorry for her at this point.

Jordan also said that he was gonna work at his fathers construction company for two weeks, why would he be working is he is speculated to have won??
LMAO, what? You dont just quit your job becaus you won a challenge... He's also probably helping out his Dad's consturction. Some people actually enjoy what they do.
Well their beloved Johnny has been jobless for some years now...probably CT as well.
150,000 could last a lifetime if they knew how to invest and/or create businesses generating passive income. Wes seems to be the only one so far who has understood this.

Originally it was on a per-episode basis, but I think it has since changed to a flat-rate for all rookies. It's still pretty low, I know that much.
150,000 can NOT last a lifetime. No matter how you invest it. Look up how much people are expected to have when they retire. then comment back. Also say he won 150,000 after taxes how much does he get back? like 90,000-110,00.
Idk if the website celebritynetworth is accurate, but if it is, Wes has the most money out of the few people I looked up and I know he's big of investing. Diems up there too

Ya I dont think that site is accurate, not sure what theyre basing it off. The only way to know how much he makes would be based off how much his investments make, based off his Porche and BMW Im sure hes living comfortable but I doubt he's loaded. And you can always buy flashy cars used. I would think Diem does make a lot since she works in the entertainment industry. But I think most of the challenge people are not living the high life
Has johnny managed to get out of his moms basement yet? what has he been doing with the money hes won? He should use that degree he spent 4 yrs on and get a side job

It doesn't matter if he only got 10,000 - 50,000. If you know what you're doing when it comes to investing, creating passive income and/or outsourcing for your business you can make your money last a VERY long time. Making your money work for you is how wealthy people stay wealthy.
This is not to say Wes is rich, but i'm sure he can decide when/if he wants to do challenges, as opposed to Johnny who don't seem to have any other income other than bobbleheads & appearances and has to do challenges to pay bills.

Forget about a job he just needs a apartment, I wouldn't get a job either if I could travel to exotic counties and get paid for that
I doubt Johnny's living at home now that he's so serious with Hannah. She's an Olympic gold medalist and has some decent sponsors so I wouldn't be shocked if she's worth at least 7 figures. They probably live very comfortably between what she makes and his MTV money. If he's actually planning on marrying her, which he's said, he doesn't really have much to worry about.

Yeah I'd say they are pretty well off. They literally travel all the time together so I'd say he is living the life.
To clarify, i'm not about that 9 to 5 slavery life myself, I would do at least 4-5 challenges & set myself up to live comfortably from the money i've won in the process. Its just odd that he has done so many of these shows w/ not much to show for it outside the show. Of course we don't live with him so we don't know what he does with it, but from what we've heard it isn't much.

I agree that to some extent it's a waste of potential as he did go to school for four years and get a degree, which a lot of them haven't, and he actually seems to have a decent brain in his head but he is 32. He's got a lot of life ahead of him and seems pretty stable. I just have never understood the shitting on him for not having a job when he's actively choosing not to and doing something else. It's not as if he's trying to work somewhere else and getting rejected...he'd rather be doing challenges and if he likes it and he's not starving or homeless because of that choice then God bless him.
It was kind of the same thing with Kenny. He got a lot of shit for a long time for still living at home and whatnot, but in hindsight he was pretty obviously choosing to do it because it was what he wanted. One day he decided not to anymore, got his own place and opened a gym that's doing very well. When Johnny has the volition to do something else, he'll do it.

But with Johnny it sounded like he had no where to go so he moved back in with mom, and when youre almost 30 thats not acceptable, or its ok for a while to get on your feet then you have to provide for yourself. I think he moved back in after he broke up with his ex, Im only guessing based off the time of events, it was after rivals 2 that I heard he moved back in with his mom. And does he live with Hannah? I wouldnt call mooching off his successful gf something to be proud of. Athletes dont get it good either, I heard you only get paid well if you win medals, not sure if thats true. And the Olympics is only every 4 yrs. Unless youre playing for a team then youre making good money but I heard Olympians dont get much unless you get medals
<p>Jordan also said that he was gonna work at his fathers construction company for two weeks, why would he be working is he is speculated to have won??</p>
It's not like they're winning a million dollars and can just quit their jobs. I found it funny on Free Agents intro when TJ was talking about "money so big it could change your life forever." Yeah, it's good money if you invest it wisely or use it towards starting your own business, but otherwise it will last you a year or two, especially on a pair challenge. After splitting the prize with your partner and paying taxes they're left with a much more humble sum.

Why is it mooching? Because he's a guy? Is a wife in a single-income family mooching off the husband or vice versa? And where was it indicated that he had nowhere else to go? I tend to listen to the majority of the press he does and aside from comments from Wes, who has admitted to not having any contact with JEK outside of the shows anymore, I've never heard anyone say that he was basically on the street and had to run back home.
Hannah is sponsored by Burton (among others), one of the top snowboard brands in the country and competes in events outside of the Olympics and if she's in a sponsorship contract she gets paid on the regular regardless of whether or not she's competing (and she's medalled in every X-Games and Olympics she's competed in other than this past year, for the record). If you look up her net worth it's over a million depending on the site.
Not sure why it's "unacceptable" he accepts it, his parents obviously have accepted it as they haven't kicked him out, and his living arrangement and employment status are negatively affecting anyone else.

The Challenges are not going to last forever. I hope has a plan B. Unless he's saving his prize money and planning on starting his own business, it will be VERY hard for him to get a job (especially one where he could actually use his degree) with literally nothing on his resume while being in his late 30s. Not to mention being a former reality star, and one who doesn't have the best reputation, is already something most employers are not ecstatic about.

Johnny actually does have a real job. He manages his girlfriend and some of the other people she trains with. He helps get them sponsors, bookings, etc. He doesn't tweet about any of that stuff because Challenge Johnny and Real Life Johnny are very different. He's not making millions but he's making a comfortable living and a lot of time the traveling he does is on the dime of the sponsors. He does The Challenges to supplement his income as well as because he likes being on TV and pushing himself on the show.

Exactly everyone gave Kenny shit and now look at him. He opened up his own gym and he is doing good. I don't understand why people are so concerned with Banana's income and how he doesn't have a job. He is doing just fine doing the challenges and yes he can't do them forever but I'm sure he will or has a back up plan. No one knows his life outside the show or where he lives so you can't really judge.

Also a lot of people live at home for awhile because they choose to and they can firgure out what they are going to do with their life and save some money.

But I agree that he probably has a back up plan. Sorry if this is off topic.
I think Johnny's back-up plan was those bobbleheads he was trying to sell which isn't working that great. The honest truth is it will be hard for Johnny to get a job des[it having a degree because he hasn't really worked. Most people in the corporate world turn their noses up at reality stars also which makes it even worse. In my opinion he should either open up a gym like Kenny or try being a personal trainer. I honestly feel that if Johnny wants to be in the entertainment industry he needs to take TJ's job, branch off into more hosting, and slowly move away from the show.
Why not? He always work and help his dad even if he is just there for visit.
Jonna just bought a car does that mean she won? NO, the only thing they have got is their apperance check...Nobody that made the final have got any money yet other than their apperances check.
I even got a DM of someone telling me Leroy was smiling in the picture that Nnay posted, I think he won over that smile o.O LMAOOO

Best DM. Ever.
Sarah is the most WELL ROUNDED girl this season but in terms of individual attributes, she can be beaten handily. Nia can take her in anything strength related, Nany is scrappier and more physical IMO, Theresa has better cardio. What makes Sarah such a threat is that she is a package of decent endurance, size, puzzle ability, and more experience than any other girl there. She has no real weaknesses.
I really don't see how she can't win this season. She has a decent male partner(just like everyone else) and she's like 7 challenges deep with far more experience than Nany, Theresa, or Nia. I'm sure a lot of the cast mates feel sorry for her at this point.
Sarah would crush Nany in anything Physical.
Well their beloved Johnny has been jobless for some years now...probably CT as well.
