I think that Gino quit his job because now that they live in the same country & it’s way more affordable to mass produce content of them together & TLC is going to make him & Jasmine into the new Chantel & Pedro.
He probably quit his job to cause drama in an upcoming series they might be filming now.

That’s also why jasmine has transformed into the perfect “hot Latina who likes sex” persona too.
It’s what everyone does. No one who does reality tv has an actual job. You have to be filmed every day, and no job is going to allow that (plus no one wants to watch sometime sitting at their desk doing a boring job anyway). TLC pay very well, so obviously Gino will give up his job. This is why Real Housewives don’t have real jobs but pretend to be entrepreneurs, and Darcey and Stacey have their “fashion label” 🙄
They don’t pay that well. I think it’s only about $1K-1.5K / episode.
They especially don’t pay well compared to whatever he was earning, and given her expensive tastes I don’t know why he thought it was a good move.
I think the cheap ass negotiated a pay raise with Sharp / TLC
That’s a starting base salary. They’re making at least double what hat I’m sure as it’s their 3rd season.
Ok but let’s do the math here. 1,500 an episode. Let’s say they get paid 3,000 an episode (twice) season 9 of 90 day was 19 episodes long. That’s 57k each BEFORE taxes 114k before taxes for both.
You can totally live off that but, with Jasmin’s expensive taste. No way
