The Big Brother salaries for the three reality TV icons may have been revealed.
As previously reported by Tea on TV, everyone gets paid to be on the show.
Each week, the houseguests receive a stipend to play the game. It helps make up for the time away from their other jobs.
In exchange for those stipends, the show’s producers get to film the houseguests 24/7.
Sometimes, the producers pay an appearance fee to get people on the show. That’s how Celebrity Big Brother usually works. The BB celebrities each get paid a bigger bonus to even appear on the show.
This year, three people called “reality TV icons” were asked to appear on Big Brother 28.
What are Devens, Dee, and Angela making on Big Brother 28?
An “insider” reportedly told The U.S. Sun that the regular Big Brother 28 contestants get $1,000 a week for staying on the show. That’s considered their stipend.
The reality TV icons are reportedly getting more than that. We already knew that, but production doesn’t publish those numbers. So take everything from this U.S. Sun report with a grain of salt. But it’s certainly interesting.
According to the article, Angela Murray earns around $3,000 for each week she plays Big Brother 28. That’s a nice paycheck, especially since she has already made the jury phase.
As for the Survivor alums, it is rumored that Rick Devens and Dee Valladares earn around $5,000 for each week of Big Brother.
Dee and Devens were recently seen on Survivor 50, after also appearing on earlier seasons of the show. Dee also won Survivor 45, netting her a $1 million prize.
As a reminder, the BB28 winner takes home $750,000. The runner-up wins a cool $75,000, and there is also a cash prize for becoming America’s Favorite Houseguest. The fans vote on AFH each year.
So… will the BB28 cast let Angela, Devens, or Dee win the season? Surprisingly, the trio has made it this far, and they will all make it to at least the jury house.
We will all find out together how far they can get.
Here is a link to spoilers about who is most likely going to be the first BB28 jury member.
