The current Big Brother Season 26 has been quite a wild roller coaster ride, not just for the housemates but also for the viewers. After the most recent elimination, which resulted in Kimo Apaka's eviction, the competition has gotten even more fierce.

Big Brother Season 26 Episode 35 saw Kimo Apaka's elimination, which left four housemates on the show. It included Chelsie Baham, Makensy Manbeck, Rubina Bernabe, and Cam Sullivan-Brown.

Fans wondering who holds the final Power of Veto, that would be Makensy Manbeck. However, this is yet to be aired officially in the upcoming October 6, 2024 episode of the reality show. The latest update on Makensy's becoming the Veto Power holder has been gathered from the Big Brother 26 live feeds.

So, what would happen? Who will win Big Brother Season 26? Will there be an all-women-finale? Read on to know more about the latest developments and explore possibilities that might unfold, seeing the current dynamics inside the Big Brother house.


Big Brother Season 26: Makensy Manbeck holds the final Power of Veto (PoV) - Details explored

Big Brother Season 26, after eliminating a number of housemates over the past few weeks, has now come to its end.

Seeing the Big Brother live feeds revealed Makensy as the final Power of Veto (PoV) holder for the reality show. As fans are well aware, being a PoV holder allows the individual to secure any one of the housemates from the upcoming elimination process.

While Makensy became the Power of Veto holder, fellow housemate Chelsie won the Head of Household (HoH). Hence, Chelsie secured her spot in the show's finalists. Additionally, HoH is also given crucial power, i.e., to nominate fellow players.

Chelsie nominated Cam and Makensy for the upcoming elimination. Makensy can easily save herself with her Power of Veto. That would be the most probable possibility, seeing the crucial stage of the game show and the prize pot that is on the line.

If Makensy goes on saving herself with her PoV, Chelsie will be forced to nominate another housemate. It would mean nominating either Rubina or Cam as the replacement nominee.

If such happens, two finalists of Big Brother Season 26 would be Makensy and Chelsie. The interesting part comes next: seeing who would be safe and join the two potential finalists for the upcoming finale.


Who will win Big Brother Season 26: Makensy or Chelsie? Possibilities explored

For the sake of exploring a potential scenario, let's keep Cam and Rubina out of this probable calculation and think of who will win Big Brother Season 26.

Take a look at the statistics:

  • Makensy: Won 9 total competitions - including 2 HoH, 5 PoV, 2 BB AI
  • Chelsie: Won 5 Total competitions - including 4 HoH, 1 BB AI

Regardless of who joins Makensy and Chelsie in the final episode, it is quite a strong possibility that either of these girls might win the competition and take home $750,000.

Apart from the statistics mentioned above, there are many additional reasons for such a possibility. As of now, fans must have gathered how Chelsie and Makensy - are quite fierce, competitive, strong-willed, and passionate about advancing in the show. That clearly says it all compared to the rest of the players in the game.

Additionally, fans might remember how Kimo mentioned that these two are the "biggest threats" in one of his recent appearances.

In his October 4, 2024, interview with Gold Derby, recently eliminated housemate Kimo Apaka chimed in on a situation. When he was asked about whom he would put on the block if he were still in the game.

"Chelsie and Makensy are the biggest threats in the game and amazing competitors. There was always going to be the concern of the Veto situation, because that is crucial. Whoever wins Veto ultimately has more of the power going forward," shared Kimo.

Upcoming Big Brother episodes: Release schedule

For the viewers, CBS will air an upcoming Big Brother Season 26 episode on Thursday, October 10, 2024. The episode will feature Live Eviction. This episode will witness Makensy's decision to use the Power of Veto.

Up next would be Sunday, October 13, 2024 episode, i.e., Big Brother Season 26 Finale.
