For the U.S. version of Big Brother 8 or 9, each house guest is paid a weekly salary of $750 a week, with 1 guest evicted each week on TV on Sunday night. If a house guest wins, either the $500,000 grand prize or runner-up $50,000, then their salary is deducted from the prize money. In Big Brother 7, the prize was doubled to $1,000,000, but in Big Brother 8, Dick Donato received the half ($500G), with his daughter Danielle receiving the $50,000; meanwhile, America's Player, Eric, received increments of $5,000 for completing each set number of assigned tasks, including getting people to vote the prize to the hostile Dick Donato rather than his mild-mannered daughter (according to a so-claimed vote of preference from TV audiences, which directed Eric to spare the vicious-acting Donato father and continually vote out Eric's well-mannered allies who could have likely helped Eric win). As a result, Eric, by following his given orders, voted out his allies and left stronger players in the game, who eventually won POV and voted Eric out (costing him the final 2 prizes). Big Brother 8 was one of the most backward, anti-majority voted games, with the most disliked player winning the game, raising the question as to whether America's Player was actually directed by viewer popularity or by some other skewed vote which sustained antagonism on the show.
