Can't believe I'm going into bat for Koby, but I actually think it was a sensible decision to pull out in fear of his back. As someone who has back issues there's no benefit of risking further long term complications.
I also have back issues and I completely understand his decision, my bigger issues why come in the show at all?

Agree. And agree!

I'm assuming he did it for the $$. Iirc I read somewhere they get 25k minimum? Not bad for a few weeks work (thats including pre-prep)
 
More broadly it’s embarassing for him to act all alpha (pretty sure he said he could smash all of them in any physical contest) then bail on the first endurance challenge.

Bottom line if he didn’t act like such an arrogant, aggressive dickhead I doubt anyone would say anything about him bailing.

You forgot the "cheating"! An arrogant, aggressive cheating dickhead I doubt anyone.... etc.

So Koby is saying he got 100k for the gig.

Two weeks work.

I hope he had some garnished for not finishing.
 
Never even heard of him wth.

Hes aint worth 100k
You also hadnt heard of Sam Burgess and his deal is way way better.

Actually this seems like a good question. I had only not heard of the politician chick, the rest i knew to varying degrees (Jett Kenny more from name than what he actually does as an example). Who did you know from one look?

Ah nah I've like "heard" heard of him. in news.com.au

I wouldnt recognise this surfer guy walking down the street- you cant compare this guy to Burgess
 
I only knew of Scud, Shaw, Manu, Murray, Edelstone, Steffensen, Pottharst, Molik, Pittman. I watched Puberty Blues but forgot about Cornish. Sam Burgess at an absolute stretch but I don't really follow rugby. Wasn't into the whole Bra Boys thing so didn't know of Abberton. Never heard of Ewing, Peris (though obviously a famous name), Kenny, Anderson, Husar, McNaught.

She was last year, Erin Holland was this year, assume you didnt know her either.:D

On the one hand i could see Koby lying to big note himself but it also seems like it would be quickly debunked...

Having said that, i doubt Koby would be smart enough to realise his lie would be found out, so in the end, who knows.

It does seem like a huge number for a dude that isnt THAT well known.

I was reasonably familiar with Shaw, Pittman, Edelstein, Murray, Manu, Philipoussis, Potharst, Stephenson and Molik. I had heard of, but knew little about, Burgess, Peris (though everyone knows her mother), Kenny (mostly as a result of news regarding his sister's death), and Husar (I'm a bit of a political junkie). I have heard about the Bra Boys, but couldn't have ever named one of them, including Koby. I watched Puberty Blues, but I don't remember Isabelle Cornish - I am, however, familiar with her sister (Abbie). I'd heard the name Dan Ewing, but that was the sum total knowlege of him. I had never heard of Bonnie Anderson or Erin Holland (I originally thought this was the married name of Erin McNaught).

I'm happy to acknowledge that Burgess is a legitimate celebrity - it's just that I'm a follower of AFL, not NRL, so my knowledge of him is limited by lack of interest, not lack of notoriety.

Husar i genuinely didnt know.

Anderson i vaguely recongnised but i honestly thought shed been on home and away.

Burgess, Shaw were probably my two best known. I weirdly knew Erin Holland because shes Married to Ben Cutting and does a bit of big bash stuff. Peris was all over the news rags for her relationship with Shaun Kenny Dowell (another League player). Isabelle Cornish was just in Nine Perfect Strangers so real fresh of mind, Pottharst ive met and Murray, i loved Feeler as a teen.

Rest were varying degree of nostalgia.
 
Anderson was on some singing talent TV show as a teenager, I didn't know she was now an actress.
You couldn't pay me to watch any of those talent-less reality shows (singing, dancing, renovating, cooking, ...) or Neighbours. No wonder I had never heard of her.

I make exceptions for The Amazing Race (US version) and SAS Australia... but that's it.
 
Surprised Koby earned that much from the show as I had no idea who he was, he could've just been some no name bogan off the streets for all I know.

I'm not surprised Sam Burgess is the top earner on the show, he is one of the biggest names in the NRL, a bigger name than Heath Shaw is in the AFL.

It takes away some of the respect you have for the contestants that they are earning so much money to go on the show but at least they earn it with all the shit they have to go through, it's a lot tougher than most other reality shows that celebrities go on.

The only reality shows I watch are Survivor, The Amazing Race and this show, not interested in all the other reality shows.
 
Re those on the show: I knew most of them. Kenny was on Dancing with the Stars I think (<< watch bits and pieces of it, never a whole series), Bonnie Anderson I kinda knew her from Neighbours even tho I never watch it.

Politician- no ****ing clue. Didnt even recall the massive scandal.
Burgess- from the odd Womans Day mag maybe? The ones my mum has down the holiday house, I reckon he's probably popped up in those rags.
Peris- nah didnt really know her.

Abbie/Isabelle Cornish LOL- I loved Puberty Blues, I have it on DVD. I cant believe it took me ages to work out it wasnt Abbie- that voice is so close to the one the character has on PB and thats set in the 70s. :tearsofjoy:
 
IIRC Warnie got a million for Imma Celeb?

What would Cousins get do you think, maybe 400k? I doubt it'd be as high in the millions.
If you believe the reports about his finances he certainly wouldnt cost that much.

Supposedly the Masked Singer told Kyle Sandinlands to name his price, not sure how these shows have so much cash to splash TBH
