Big Brother's 1000th episode is quickly approaching and, for weeks, I've been terrified about what's on the horizon. Julie Chen Moonves and the show have suggested that a big twist is on the way, and I have a couple of theories about what it can be. While I love a few of those assumptions, there's one I absolutely hate.Right now, it's known that the anniversary episode, set for the 2026 TV schedule on August 27th, will include tributes to the show, some of the past iconic players, and of course, a live eviction, but what else is on tap? Here's what I'm thinking, and if the third option ends up being the twist, I'm going to absolutely riot.

I think it's only fitting, then, that after Dee Valladares' second HOH, this upcoming competition should be "Newbies Only," and the Icons are all ineligible to compete. This method would be a great way to even the playing field and give the Icons a chance to show how great they are, without their gifted powers as a safety net. Some will say it wouldn't be fair but, hey, it wasn't when it happened in Week 1 either.

That deal ended up going through in June and, while I'm sure CBS could arrange a deal that allows them to keep the house standing and they could pay Netflix for the rights to use it, the studio house is over twenty years old. If there are no plans to end the series, now might be the perfect time to build a new house on a new lot and showcase some concept art of what it'll look like during the 1000th episode.

In my deepest nightmares, Jeff Probst trots out on stage and declares to the Houseguests that the game is about to get a lot more like his show. It's then that the Big Brother Houseguests are told that an immunity idol is hidden in the house, and whoever finds it will have the opportunity to protect themselves from eviction until the end of the game. I hate that I'm even typing this because, if it comes to be, I will let out a howl of anguish from the Midwest so loud the Houseguests will hear it on the live broadcast. Yes, I don't mind seeing a Survivor player win Big Brother, but let's stop with the training wheels. As mentioned, Big Brother's 1000th episode is on August 27th on CBS. The only thing we should expect, of course, is the unexpected. We'll see if any of these predictions pan out, though I'd sooner be wrong on all of them than have the final one happen!
