Does anybody know if the dismissed recruits get any money?

Obviously, the winner will have earned his/her $500,000, but the others will have suffered a great deal of pain just for the "experience".

I was wondering that last night when Jackson was talking about his girlfriend. He said something to the effect that he hoped to get some money to help buy an engagement ring since he'd used that money for a down payment on an apartment in NYC instead.

I took from his wording that, even if he didn't win, he could conceivably take home SOME cash.

I haven't heard anything official on this, though.

hmm.. I wonder.. you would think they'd get something for each day they last.

OH.. also interesting that Jackson considers himself to be the strong one but he sure blew it leaving that third board behind..

I guess we still don't know if the dismissed recruits get any $$$? Or does the only money go to the last one standing?

And, how does the final thing work, anyway?

They haven't done a very good job of telling us how this plays out, IMHO.

Per the site, the last 2 recruits go through a 48 hour "gauntlet", with various stations named after each booted recruit. The winner of each station gets a dog tag. There is something about there being some significance to the last 6 boot recruits and those stations. The tests involve all aspects--strength, intelligence, etc.

The one with the most dog tags at the end gets the 500K. no mention of anyone getting anything else.

The site states there are 8 shows. That would indicate next week's show is the next to last show. I'm assuming the last show is the highlights of this 48 hour competition between the 2 last remaining recruits.
