  "account": "On Thursday night, CBS' reality show \"Big Brother\" celebrated its 1,000th episode with a special milestone episode. The milestone installment featured a look back at the past 25 years of gameplay, including nostalgic BB awards for the worst and best moments in the show's history. Julie Chen Moonves and Jessie Mr. Pec-tacular Godderz each received Guinness World Records certificates for their achievements in the show's history. The most shocking twist of the season occurred during the veto ceremony, when Mallory was evicted, finally shaking up the Mosh Pit alliance and leaving Barrett frustrated. Drew won the Blockbuster competition, leading to Mallory's eviction and a standing ovation from former \"Big Brother\" players in the studio audience. The upcoming week will feature a never-before-done twist, with four Big Brother veterans returning to challenge houseguests in a unique way.",
