Jill Zarin, Joe Amabile, and Jason Smith, contestants on “The Goat,” had altruistic plans for the $200,000 prize money, with intentions to support causes like battered women and children, feeding children across America, cancer research through the Bobby Zarin Memorial Fund, and personal financial planning. While Zarin and Smith had specific charities in mind, Amabile considered banking the prize for future investments, highlighting the contestants’ varied approaches to the potential winnings.
Jill Zarin, Joe Amabile, and Jason Smith had philanthropic and personal plans for the $200,000 prize from “The Goat,” with intentions ranging from charity donations to banking the money for future investments.
Jill Zarin, Joe Amabile, and Jason Smith had big dreams for the $200,000 prize from The Goat. If they had won, that is. In an exclusive with Us Weekly, they spilled the beans on their plans.
Jason, at 46, was all heart. Supporting organizations for battered women and children was his goal. "It wasn’t just for me," he said, aiming to share his good fortune.
The Food Network chef had a vision. Helping those less fortunate was his way of giving back, making his journey come full circle.
Jill, hitting 60, was nearly there. Her plan? The Bobby Zarin Memorial Fund. "It would’ve gone right to cancer research," she revealed, thinking of the charity event she hosts every summer.
Joe, at 38, was a bit more laid back. "I probably would’ve put it in the bank," he admitted. But Jill hinted he could ask Jason Tartick for investment advice. You know, just to spice things up.
The Goat was more than a game for these stars. It was a chance to make a difference, to play, to be part of something bigger. And for Jill, it was all about the games, not the cash. "I got to play every single game," she said, content with her journey.
Joe didn’t have a grand plan for the money. A simple "into the bank it goes" was his thought process. Yet, Jill’s nudge towards seeking investment advice showed there were options he hadn’t considered.
Reality TV stars, they’re just like us, right? They compete, they dream, and yes, they even get paid. Jason Tartick’s podcast, "Trading Secrets," aims to break down the financial side of reality TV fame.
The Goat brought together a motley crew of reality TV veterans. From Paola Mayfield to Tayshia Adams, they competed for the title of Greatest of All Time. The finale crowned Paola, leaving her ecstatic and surprised.
Paola’s win wasn’t just for her. She planned to use the prize money to adopt a daughter with her husband, Russ. A dream still in the making, but closer than ever.
As The Goat aired, Paola waited for her prize. "It’s just happening right now," she said, eager yet patient. Winning was about more than the money; it was about being the first, the OG of The Goat.
The Goat streams on Prime Video, where dreams, drama, and dollars collide. It’s a reality TV fan’s haven, showcasing the highs and lows of competition and camaraderie.
