The Low Down on Americas Producers Player

This season on BIG BROTHER, one participant has been selected to be America’s Player: Eric, the 27-year-old talent management assistant from New York, New York. At the conclusion of every episode beginning Sunday, July 8, a question will be asked of viewers where they will vote on an important assignment that Eric must complete. It could be a strategic move or a personal action. Eric must attempt to do what viewers request, including voting out a specific HouseGuest. Eric can never tell anyone in the house that he is working on behalf of the viewers. But, he needs to be careful…just like his fellow HouseGuests, he can be voted out at any time. If “America’s Player” successfully accomplishes these assignments, he will be financially rewarded. Viewers will be able to vote on cbs.com or via text messaging on a mobile phone and will choose from multiple choice answers on each question. The prevailing vote must be completed by Eric in order for him to be rewarded.
