Big Brother celebrates 1,000th episode and Guinness World Records

The CBS reality competition series Big Brother recently celebrated its 1,000th episode with a 90-minute special featuring over 100 former houseguests. During the milestone broadcast, host Julie Chen Moonves accepted two Guinness World Records, as the series has achieved the most episodes of both a primetime show and a competitive reality show.

Reports indicate that Moonves has earned approximately $80 million over her 28-season tenure, with an estimated seasonal salary of $3 million.

In current season developments, the show is utilizing a “Time Trip” theme and a medieval twist involving Safety Stones. Recent episodes have seen Drew become Head of Household, with Yash winning the Power of Veto. The broadcast schedule is expected to shift in the coming weeks to accommodate football season and the premiere of Survivor.
