Big Brother spoilers ahead: Mallory Aurichio was evicted from the "Big Brother" house during Thursday night's live episode after Drew Campbell won BB Blockbuster and came off the block.
The result answered two of the night's biggest questions: Who went home on "Big Brother" tonight and who was the BB Blockbuster winner?
Entering Episode 25 of BB28, Drew Campbell, Mallory Aurichio and Taylor Brown were on the block. Drew Campbell earned safety in BB Blockbuster before houseguests cast their live eviction votes. Mallory was ultimately evicted in a 6-2 vote.
The eviction followed one of the season's most dramatic weeks on "Big Brother" 28. While Mallory Aurichio appeared to be Head of Household Dee Valladares' preferred target for much of the week, late live-feed discussions centered on a possible vote flip against Drew Campbell. However, those scenarios largely depended on Drew remaining on the block, and his BB Blockbuster victory ultimately reshaped the vote heading into Thursday's live eviction.
The eviction sets the stage for Week 8 and a new Head of Household competition. The next HOH competition takes place later tonight, with the winner likely to be revealed late tonight or early Friday morning when the live feeds return.

'Big Brother' spoilers: Did the 'Big Brother' vote flip?
No. Despite extensive live-feed discussions about targeting Drew Campbell, the house ultimately voted 6-2 to evict Mallory Aurichio.
The potential vote flip created uncertainty heading into Thursday's episode, but Drew Campbell's BB Blockbuster victory removed him from danger and effectively ended the anti-Drew effort before the live vote. Once Drew secured safety, attention shifted back to a Mallory-versus-Taylor showdown.

'Big Brother' recap: What happened tonight?
Thursday's 90-minute "Big Brother" Episode 25 featured the BB Blockbuster competition, the live eviction vote, and the departure of Mallory Aurichio.
Drew Campbell, Mallory Aurichio and Taylor Brown entered the night on the block. Earlier this week, Head of Household Dee Valladares nominated Drew, Taylor and LaTrice Verrett before LaTrice removed herself from danger with the Power of Veto and Mallory became the replacement nominee.
Drew secured safety by winning the "BB Grand Cliptacular" BB Blockbuster competition, leaving Mallory and Taylor on the block heading into the live vote.
Mallory was ultimately evicted in a 6-2 vote. The result followed days of speculation about a possible move against Drew, with several houseguests discussing a potential blindside if Drew remained on the block. However, Drew's BB Blockbuster victory removed him from danger and shifted the vote back to a showdown between Mallory and Taylor.
The special 1,000th episode also featured fan-voted rankings celebrating memorable players, alliances and moments from throughout "Big Brother" history, while the series earned two Guinness World Records recognizing its 1,000-episode milestone.
