Mallory Aurichio was evicted from Big Brother on Thursday night, ending her run as the seventh houseguest voted off Big Brother 28. The house sent her out in a 6-2 vote on Aug. 20 after Drew Campbell won BB Blockbuster and pulled himself off the block before the live eviction.
That answer is why viewers were searching tonight’s result as the episode closed: the vote had centered on three nominees — Drew Campbell, Mallory Aurichio and Taylor Brown — and the competition that mattered most was BB Grand Cliptacular, the BB Blockbuster contest built around matching memorable moments from Big Brother history with the correct answers. Drew chose the right response and secured safety, leaving Taylor Brown exposed and Mallory headed out the door.
The vote breakdown was decisive once Drew was out of danger. Six houseguests voted to evict Mallory, while two voted to keep her in the game. The eviction also fit the week’s larger pattern, with Mallory appearing to be Dee Valladares’ preferred target for much of the week, even as late live-feed talk had suggested there could be a flip against Drew before the competition changed everything.
There was another twist waiting beyond the eviction. CBS said the houseguests are moving into a new medieval-themed phase inspired by the year 1000, and Julie Chen Moonves said the format will drop the usual Head of Household, Power of Veto and BB Blockbuster competitions. She also said one houseguest’s game will end before the next live eviction, while live feeds will remain offline until after Sunday’s episode.
For Mallory, the story ended the same way the vote did: quickly, cleanly and without a rescue. For the rest of the house, the bigger question is how the game behaves when the usual weekly structure disappears and the next elimination comes under a format that is already changing the board.
