Big Brother 26- Friday Live Feed Update 9/13/24

Good evening, Steve is away so you’re stuck with me twice in one day. The feeds just went down for the noms so hopefully they’ll be back up by the time I finish today’s recap. If you just want the nominations, scroll to the bottom of the update/recap.

Before I start, I couldn’t believe something I saw today. Jerry O’DConnell was talking about people that were DMing his wife (who is also a celebrity) last night demanding they tell production to turn the feeds back on. What the hell is wrong with people? (Some BB fans are simply crazy!)

HOH & Nomination Spoilers Below

It’s going to be Jankie World all week. (Think Dyre Fest from BB24 except they’re all outside) Instead of camping, beans and hotdogs, it’s candy stuffed animals and a dance party. The feeds were a nightmare that week. Between planes and water running, you couldn’t hear the game talk half the time. (This week may not be fun for us either)

This is their home for the week:

We still don’t have all the details from the comp or the twist but here’s what I’ve got so far…Leah is the new hoh.

The comp was endurance and they had to hold something in place, maybe with a pole. (I think it’s like the one they did during BBOTT) I could be wrong but I’m thinking it’s something like this one:

Leah has a balcony instead of an hoh room.

She got her hoh basket but it was full of kids toys and candy instead of the usual fare.

She liked the bubbles at least.

The hg’s will have to live outside all week and they’ll sleep on cots.

They can only eat pizza, ice cream and candy.

They were told to get up and dance when it was announced earlier today. I’m assuming this will happen all week, or at least until they get enough footage for the episode.

Some of them are already over it. Cam napping near a cool vent he found:

T’kor chillin’ near their trash cans of clothing:

Leah had her one on one talks on the balcony. I missed the one with Angela or it wasn’t on the feeds. I heard part of the one with MJ but the feeds cut during it.

Rubina had a hard time completing a sentence when she talked to Leah. Leah, of couse, had all the “likes” flying out of her mouth. The best I could decipher from these two trying to have a conversation was they love each other, are here for each other, it would be nice if the end was all women, blah, blah, blah. (No substance at all and they actually don’t even like each other)

Rubina told T’kor she didn’t throw anyone under the bus during her talk with Leah. She said it’s not who she is and is proud of herself for not doing it. Right after, she sort of whined and had a pity party because she’s too good of a person to play that kind of game. (Either do it or don’t but don’t complain about it later if you didn’t try to help yourself) She also made sure Chelsie and MJ both knew “I didn’t throw you under the bus.”

Damn, this cast is bad at the game! (Haha) I know she thinks she’s getting brownie points for keeping quiet with all the shit talking they did last week about Leah. All she’s really doing is reminding them that Rubina has dirt on them….and she hasn’t forgotten it. (Ya know, the kind of thing that might make you wanna get rid of someone)

I think Leah and Cam were the final 2 people in the comp and they made a deal so he’s safe this week. Angela and Rubina were the other two who lasted the longest. (I think Leah offered a deal to Rubina but Rubina turned it down, not sure on that one tho) If true, I bet Rubina may be regretting that choice now.

T’kor gave Rubina the praise she was seeking. T’kor said it was about the people, not the prize or something like that. She mentioned, maybe they could talk to Leah again and get the target put on someone else. (They went to make pizza instead) The trio should name their alliance The Procrastinators.

When T’kor talked to Kimo, she was singing a different tune. Kimo was frustrated and worried he’d go on the block too. He said he felt like “blowing shit up” and T’kor was subtly encouraging him to do it. She said he shouldn’t leave the game having any regrets. (As of writing this, Kimo STILL hadn’t talked to Leah) The feeds have gone down here and there so maybe he finally talked to her and I didn’t see it.

T’kor may or may not be Leah’s target. She talked to everyone like she didn’t want to get rid of T’kor. However, she was alot more open during her chat with Chelsie than she was T’kor. With Chelsie, they talked about a final 3 with MJ. (Chelsie faking of course) Leah also told Chelsie what she thought the veto comp might be and gave her tips to study and count things. (Leah thinks it will be the stay or fold comp) She didn’t give T’kor the same info.

With T’kor, it was more about wanting to work together, “where do you see your game heading,” etc. (generic stuff) Leah told several people she had a plan so maybe she’s thinking about backdooring T’kor. (I don’t know but I think her target may actually be Kimo or Rubina, just to break up the trio)

When Leah spoke to Cam and MJ, she talked like she wanted to target the trio and work with Cam, Chelsie and MJ. She’s either lying to everyone or she’s changed her mind about putting up T’kor and Chelsie together. She said that on Monday when she was angry. It’s been 4 days so she may have a different idea by now. (It seems this cast only gets to the correct game moves thru anger or accident)

Leah’s been feeling isolated this past week and all her allies are gone. She’s probably desperate and reaching out for anyone that wants to work with her. MJ seems to have her snowed and Chelsie did a good job talking to her today and Wednesday night. That may have been all it took to get her to target the trio instead.

Chelsie may lie through her teeth when she’s talking to Leah but…she’s…talking… to …Leah! I think all it would have taken would’ve been for T’kor and Rubina to tell Leah they wanted to work with her and be direct about it and thrown both Chelsie and MJ under the bus. (Alot of stuff was said about Leah last week) Plus, Leah REALLY likes T’kor and she doesn’t care for Chelsie. They didn’t do it and so here we are.

Putting Chelsie and T’kor up together is her best move in my opinion. It’s the divide and conquer strategy. Sure, she’d have the entire house upset with her for a little while. (Except Angela) The thing is, they can’t stay mad because if it’s 3 vs 3, they’d need Leah and Angela to break a tie.

By only targeting the trio, they can forget about Leah as soon as the veto meeting is over on Monday. Whoever is on the block will just campaign to MJ, Chelsie and Cam. Leah will probably go back to target #1. This could be especially true if she takes out Kimo this week. Cam and MJ said they wanted Kimo out and then Leah after him. She may be moving herself up the list if Kimo leaves.

She could target most of the hg’s and not go wrong since almost all of them will target her. She shouldn’t take out Angela since she’s semi loyal to her but anyone else isn’t a bad choice for her. Targeting most of them may buy her another week. I just think blowing up the two groups this week could give her an actual path to move forward longer.

Ok, that’s all I have from the feeds today. Here’s a few random images to kill some more time:

This is Quinn showing the friendship bracelet Rubina made for him. (The one from the live show he said he didn’t want but then took anyway) It says “Jury Duty.”

These are some pics from a Thursday watch party. I think it was hosted by Azah, she does alot of them. Azah and Hannah:

Izzy, Matt and Hannah:

Kenney, Matt and Tucker:

This is a random one of Leah from a week or two ago:

Finally! The feeds are back but with everyone in the backyard, I didn’t factor in how long we may have to wait to find out. They’re sitting around together and based on who is where, I’m going to assume Leah has nominated Kimo and Rubina but this isn’t confirmed. (I’m sorry I don’t know for sure) Check back later for confirmation and once again, have a great weekend.
