  "account": "On Thursday, August 27th, CBS's reality TV show \"Big Brother\" is set to reach a historic milestone – its 1,000th episode. Executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan expressed their delight at the achievement, crediting \"the hardworking and talented people behind the scenes who make up our 'Big Brother' family,\" as well as host Julie Chen Moonves and their passionate fans. The special celebration episode will feature a live eviction and a 26-year retrospective, with surprise appearances from former houseguests chosen through interactive fan votes. Chen Moonves herself shared a humorous anecdote about the show's unexpected journey from uncertain survival in its first season to its current status as a ratings powerhouse, noting the presence of former \"Survivor\" players, including a winner, on the show today. The final 13 houseguests will participate in the eviction process, but it remains unclear whether any double or triple evictions will occur.",
