fans have called for a major after the grand final aired on Tuesday night. battled it out, with and $100,000 prize money. But many fans have called out the show for only offering $100,000 to the winners and for not giving the runner-up team any money at all.
One viewer took to Facebook, writing, "My thoughts are that $100,000 is not the best prize money for a competition of this intensity and I presume takes a toll on their personal lives and livelihood. "I am sure that Channel 7 would make a very hefty profit and that prize money is a drop in the bucket for them, the prize money should be at least $250,000 and maybe $50,000 for runners-up," she added. "100 per cent agree," another said.
"I love Simone and Viviana and am delighted they won, but Caz and Fergus also deserved a generous pay day." "Totally agree!" a third added. "And runners up should def be rewarded.
Maybe $250,000 for winners and then the $100,000 runners up." "Used to be 250k..
." someone else wrote. "Budget cuts? Or maybe more money to the judges' wages 🤣 yes, and runners-up get zilch? If not money at least something.
..hell you even get second prize in raffles, that's embarrassing Channel 7! "There should have been a third prize for Mike & Pete too, Caz & Fergus could have used at least some money to start their food dream.
" While the prize money has previously been a huge $250,000, it has sadly been reduced to $100,000 in recent years. previously reported that contestants on shows such as MKR are only paid.
