J4ckWilko all episodes were filmed in day, and all happened in a row. Which basically means the show was probably filmed in TWO WEEKS, with no breaks whatsoever. Plus they only get payed $250 an episode despite no monetary prizes.

The episode a day thing was a rumour spread by Willam.. I think they disproved it.
As for how they pay the queens, I agree that's fucking awful especially since they spend so much money to be on the show in the first place.
