• How it Works

  A set number of contestants are invited to live in a house with no outside contact with the world. They compete for the title of Head of Household competitions and the winner will nominate two of their fellow cast members for eviction. There is a Power of Veto competition each week, allowing a change of the nominations if the winner uses it. The Head of Household will nominate a replacement candidate if one is taken off the block using the Power of Veto. Guests are eliminated from the house each week by a vote of the houseguests. When two houseguests remain, the previously evicted houseguests vote for who wins the grand prize of $500,000.

• America's Player

  In season eight America's Player was implemented where contestant Eric Stein would have to vote the way the viewing public wanted him to and accomplish tasks around the house. He accomplished 21 of his 28 tasks earning $40,000.
