The Big Brother live eviction just aired for Week 6 of Season 26 on CBS. And there was an epic blindside as Tucker Des Lauriers (a comp beast and major influence in the house) found himself leaving the BB26 house and meeting with Julie. Tucker was sent packing in a 5-3 vote.
There was some drama after the veto meeting, of course. Head of Household T’Kor Clottey put Angela Murray on the block instead of Leah. Tucker had been demanding that T’Kor put up Leah. Angela made a very emotional speech at the POV meeting. She called out Quinn for being untrustworthy.
Quinn, however, laughed it off in the DR finding it ironic that she was calling him untrustworthy for telling people about her wanting to betray her closest ally in Big Brother.
Chelsie was determined to get Tucker out, so she rallied Cam, Leah, Makensy, and Quinn to join forces against the power block of four. These were the HoH T’Kor, along with Rubina, Kimo, and Tucker.
They knew they needed five votes, as a tie would not go in their favor with T’Kor as HOH.
Big Brother AI Arena: Tucker’s Fatal Mistake Led Makensy To Win
The AI Arena competition was a puzzle, right up Tucker’s alley. This made fans wonder if BB26 production was trying to keep Tucker in the house.
However, Makensy Manbeck took an early lead and never lost it, securing her second Big Brother AI Arena win. This was great news for the blindside co-conspirators, as they knew Makensy would vote with them. Back in the house, the facial reactions to Makensy’s win were telling.
Quinn couldn’t contain his smile, while T’Kor and Rubina looked upset. The Head of Household was powerless to control the vote.
Angela immediately began aggressively campaigning to stay. Tucker just subtly hugged and whispered to people. He did remind Quinn that he use his Power of Veto and pulled him off the block earlier in the game.
In an unprecedented move, all the other houseguests went into the rock room to talk privately, leaving the two nominees outside. This doesn’t happen when the group is this large. During the eviction speeches, Tucker reminded everyone of what he had done for them, while Angela pleaded to stay.
BB26: Tucker Evicted – His Allies Blindsided Just Before Vote
In the end, the Big Brother blindside worked, with Chelsie, Leah, Makensy, Quinn, and Cam voting to evict Tucker. Rubina, Kimo, and Joseph voted to evict Angela. Almost everyone was visibly emotional about losing Tucker. Except for Chelsie who was giddy.
Tucker took his eviction in stride, being goofy and posing in his Unitard before hugging Julie. He accurately figured out the votes to keep him. Tucker said felt no betrayal from the other BB26 houseguest. He said he understood that it’s just a game.
Julie revealed that America voted to give him $20,000 for his AI Instigator role. Of course, he was happy about that. The only moment of sadness came when he talked about leaving Rubina, whom he called amazing on Big Brother.
Back in the house, Rubina was a mess. She was comforted by Leah, while Angela cried and T’Kor stood stunned.
Even Makensy shed a tear for Tucker. With his eviction, the jury will now be seven people. So, the next person evicted will also miss out on jury.
Week 7 could be a Big Brother game-changer, with Tucker’s allies likely targeting those who voted him out but they’re outclassed in comps without the comp beast there to help them. T’Kor can’t play, which could be problematic for her side.
Plus, the ones that took out Tucker now have their eyes on his allies Rubina, Kimo and T’Kor so they could be in big trouble.
