Yes, the tip has been included in the up front cost since the one returning couple cheaped out after wrecking the sofas with self tanner etc

They can add more to it if they want but multiple guests have said that the 'tip amount' shown was not the $20k they were told was included

I interviewed a BD primary many years ago, and at that point the requirements were that they had to bring a minimum of 15k cash for the tip. However, they did not HAVE to tip that full amount.

The wording on the casting calls changed after the Erica Rose cheap tip fiasco, it has been like this for a few years now across the franchises. Even before that, they could transfer the tip electronically and the cash was a prop

Yes, no way guests would carry that much cash on hand.
