CBS aired Big Brother season 26 episode 11 on Thursday, August 8, 2024. The latest episode featured a live eviction, and America’s Veto power was used to select the third nominee for the show's third week.
After the last episode of Big Brother season 26, which featured many twists and turns, Tucker, with his Veto, saved Angela, and Head of Household (HoH) Cedric had to choose a replacement nominee. He opted for Makensy as the third nominee, who used America’s Veto and saved herself.
As a result, BB AI announced a live eviction, and only a few moments before that, she announced the third nominee, who, alongside Tucker and Kenney, would be on the chopping block. Following the A.I. Arena challenge, which Tucker won, Kenney was evicted on Big Brother season 26 episode 11.
As of now, the remaining housemates on Big Brother season 26 include Angela Murray, Brooklyn Rivera, Cedric Hodges, Cam Sullivan-Brown, Chelsie Baham, Joseph Rodriguez, Kenney Kelley, Kimo Apaka, Leah Peters, Makensy Manbeck, Quinn Martin, Rubina Bernabe, T’kor Clottey and Tucker Des Lauriers.
What happened on Big Brother season 26 episode 11: Details explored
The latest reality show episode started with a flashback clip in which Cedric can be seen warning Tucker that they didn’t have enough votes to eliminate Quinn. However, Tucker chose to go with his decision, and as a result, he and Cedric were not on good terms.
Later, Cedric shared Tucker’s plan with some of his fellow housemates, who thanked him and told Cedric they supported him.
Later, Makensy shared why she saved herself from the nominations. She told fellow housemates that when she witnessed Tucker saving Angela with his Veto and not himself, she decided to save herself. Cedric then gathered everyone to share Tucker’s plan.
On the other hand, Quinn didn’t want to use his special power, but Angela and Tucker didn’t believe him. Quinn also shared with Cedric that they should not doubt Quinn's loyalty even though he (Quinn) kept his power a secret.
America’s Veto: Nominee reveal on Big Brother season 26
Show host Julie declared that with more than 5 million votes, Quinn was chosen as America’s Veto's replacement nominee. Hence, the upcoming A.I. Arena nominees would be Tucker, Kenney, and Quinn.
They competed against each other on the “Data Dump” challenge, in which they had to collect flying red balls from the air chamber; whoever collected all 20 balls in the tube would be safe from eviction.
Tucker started strong, collecting more than five red balls even before his competitors could start collecting any balls. As a result, Tucker won, and his target of putting Quinn on the chopping block was successful.
Before the eviction, Kenney gave a heartfelt speech to his family. For his fellow housemates, he told everyone to do whatever they thought would be best for their “own games.”
Kenny was evicted on Big Brother season 26 episode 11
For the third eviction of the show, Kenny was evicted with a majority of 11 votes, while Quinn got one vote against him, which was Tucker’s.
During his exit interview, Julie asked Kenney whether he was “relieved” that he was evicted from the BB House, to which he said yes. Kenney also added that he didn’t know how much he would miss his family. He said that he would have been a different player if he had come five years ago.
