Fans are shocked to know how much Rock the Block contestant are paid

A month ago, the reality show “Rock the Block” (season 4) with six-episode came to an end. Meanwhile, many HGTV audiences still fantasize about the cast members of the show.

The storyline of the show is based on experts of Power Reno since they implement the houses with their individual signature designs. Following its popularity, it was a great hit for HGTV, with over 12.7 million viewers.

HGTV’s production manager, Loren Ruch, referred to it as a rating sensation.” While we think about the amazing creations and dramatic contexts, we’re left questioning: Do those committed participants get paid off?

‘Rock the Block’ features many celebrated HGTV personalities. The 4th installment of the show attracts Anthony Elle and Michel from Luxe for Less; Sarah and Bryan from Renovation Island; Fix My Flip’s star Page Turner and Mitch Glew; Farmhouse Fiixer’s Jonathan Knight , and Kristina Crestin. In the final episode, designers Michel and Anthony claimed the champion title of the show.

This year, the show had the most valuable amount yet: the unrenovated homes boasted a beginning price of $1.9 million —and with a budget of $250,000 to spend. But, its value was bumped up to $2.7 million by Michel and Anthony.

The job can be both physically and mentally demanding. HGTV’s Turner remarked that the program tested the contestants’ primary motivation for living.

The right-hand man also shared they had to redesign a 5,000 sq. ft. house within just six wrecks with a limited amount of money.

“We were there 6 hours after cameras left so that put us there 12-14 hours a day. It was really, really hard. Am I glad I did it? Absolutely,”

further Page added.

But, the participants didn’t join the show just for the money. Unlike other reality-based challenge programs, the victors don’t receive a grand prize amount or a giant cheque.

In Rock the Block, it’s mainly about prestige for the winning crew. As HGTV stated, the winning group will have their name imprinted on a street signpost.

Likewise,  a donation is handed over in their honor to No Kid Hungry, a non-profit organization, offering about 100,000 meals to children living with hunger.

So, if it’s not about financial benefits, why do people participate in the competition? Well, HGTV celebrities intend to get more publicity for their other series on the channel.

During the conversation with Daily Comet, Michel Smith Boyd was asked about the importance of victory.

Answering the question, he remarked, “Hopefully it would guarantee one more season of my own show.” The contractor extraordinaire also mentioned it feels like the king of the channel for the whole year.

Nevertheless, the network hasn’t officially confirmed when the next season of Rock the Block will return; however, observing the popularity of the show, we expect it to make a comeback soon.
