Eric Stein

 was a House Guest on Big Brother 8. Eric was the tenth player evicted, placing 5th and becoming the 5th member of the jury. Eric is best known for his "showmance" with Jessica Hughbanks, as well as being the first ever America's Player during that same twist. Eric would attempt to complete a series of tasks given to him by poll votes from viewers, where he would be rewarded $10,000 for each task completed. America's Player continued to be in effect long after Eric's eviction, where America could vote on which contestant in the Final 2 Eric could campaign for and vote to win, ultimately voting for Dick Donato.
