Stipend for Big Brother 10?

Question

I watched Big Brother After Dark last night...Keesha was talking to Renny about second place receiving over $62,000 including the Stipend. I've seen all the Big Brother seasons and this is the first I am hearing about a Stipend. Can anyone tell me how much they get?

When do they start earning it...I mean did Brian get one or does it start with the Jury house and is this the first season where they are giving a stipend?

Answer 1

From listening to the girls talking (Libra, Keesha, Renny and April in the very beginning) They all get a stipend for appearing on the show.  I also think the amount varies according to their living expenses.  I think April was getting more than Keesha.  But that may also be because Keesha makes less money on her job than April did on hers.

Answer 2

well if you think about it these people are on the show for up to 3 months! I would hate to think the show would allow their contestants to possibly lose their job or take a long vacation from their job with no pay!

I mean would you go to this show knowing you either have to quit your job or take a loss in pay, not knowing if you are going to win some kind of money?

Answer 3

I remember reading several years ago the houseguests received $700 per week (the season Jun won).  As long as they are associated with Big Brother, I'm sure they receive some sort of pay.

Answer 4

They get $750 a week and the winner will have it deducted from the grand prize.
