That Google person says NO Grooch.
No, a Big Brother winner does not get their weekly stipend.
According to production rules and standard show contracts, the winner (and the runner-up) forfeit their weekly stipends and instead receive their grand prize money payout. Regular houseguests and jury members collect the weekly stipend for every week they stay in the house, but it stops for the final two.

Thanks, Mamapors. Though he probably has a clause that he still gets it.

I wonder if that counts for HG who got the bigger stipend? It might!

I'm sorry I had it wrong if Devens doesn't get his stipend, but maybe the Icons had a different contract and I'm sorry Devens gets $50,000 for AFP. I must have dreamt it was $75,000. So even without his stipend Devens gets $810,000 from BB and from Survivor he got $100,000 from fan favourite from the singer Sia so he has done great on reality TV On CBS.

Do Survivor players get a stipend of any kind? Or just the winners? And do the first 3 get money?

Taylor’s outfit for the finale was a great color for her.

Also, all of you BB stalwarts who only come for BB, do realize there is another whole multi-dimensional message board here, where many of us here have posted for TWENTY-SIX YEARS!!!
And we are just as much fun and life-wisdom in regular life as we are at discussing BB.

So happy for Devins! He won that comp when he needed to, and others as well. He played a great game and deserved the win!

Quick and late as usual observations....
The summer long reality show finale/vote bum rushed into a half hour with commercials is bad tv.
Showing the reveal of Jason being an icon in another popular reality tv show and letting them know of Mallory's actual NASA career (dressed like a teenager) and only showing Lala's close-up reaction twice was again bad tv.
Melody's future comment in the final HOH...'zingbot was right, Drew did die alone" with Barrett in his scooter slowly driving behind, killed me, too funny.
Devens winning AFP, I didn't vote, but come on viewers, really?
Angela icon cheerleading in the background, go home to Chuck, annoy your family and neighbors and go sell real estate. Go away.
Drew being brought back to earth was redeeming.
Taylor's, outfit and new hair style, looked great.
Screaming their vote for me speeches, why?
Expect the expected, the season seemed pre-determined but was better, pretty non annoying for this viewer
Cheers

I thoroughly enjoyed this season and I was very happy with Devens win. He played a good game and made the season fun to watch.
