Big Brother marked its 1,000th episode with a retrospective celebration before its Week 7 eviction, highlighting fan-favourite moments, players and alliances from the reality competition’s history. The milestone episode also saw Mallory Aurichio become the seventh houseguest evicted from Season 28, continuing the contest’s shifting strategic landscape.

Week 7 Head of Household Dee Valladares initially nominated Drew Campbell, La Trice Verrett and Taylor Brown; La Trice won the Veto and was replaced by Mallory. Drew then secured safety in the BB Block Buster competition, leaving Taylor and Mallory on the block, and Mallory was evicted 6–2. Fans voted Dan Gheesling’s “funeral” as the best moment and named him their favourite winner, while Janelle Pierzina was chosen as both best never to win and favourite competition specialist.
