Big Brother 26 – Thursday Updates 8/1
Good afternoon, everyone! It’s August 1st already. Yikes. Time always feels like it’s somehow simultaneously flying and dragging when it comes to Big Brother.
It feels like the season just started, but also feels like the season has been going on for months. We’ve had a mountain of drama and only one person has been evicted so far. We still have the entire months of August and September to go!
As per usual, feeds will be down a lot today, so this will be more of a rambling post. Tucker, Lisa, and Angela will face off tonight in the arena and much like last week, the winner will tell us who is going home – unless it’s Tucker. If Tucker wins, it will likely come down to a last-minute decision in the house (they have been flipping back and forth all week) between Lisa and Angela. Right now it’s Lisa leaving, but that can change by the minute.
That also means if Angela or Lisa win the arena, the other is guaranteed to go home because Tucker has the votes to stay (much like Kimo last week).
Speaking of Tucker, he replaced Kenney on the block who was absolutely grouchy last night (that’s my slick segue). The house was prepping for midnight dinner as the HN were being freed from their captivity, and Kenney came out snapping at them for being loud and said he’s going to be loud in the morning to spite them.
Joseph went to the bathroom and did some camtalking and is frustrated by Kenney not only complaining last night but how many times he has said he wanted to leave. Here is a clip of him ranting
Needless to say, Kenney has been quite the disappointment and we (Boston) don’t quite claim him yet. Maybe there will be a comeback story in him?
Back to the eviction, it’s going to be sad to see Lisa or Angela go. The tension between the two has hit all time highs and I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Angela make a few more jabs at Lisa tonight either during her speech or on the way out (if she leaves).
We’re also halfway through the advantage twist and neither have used it and I’m not sure anyone actually will unless they intentionally draw it out of MJ by nominating her. But not knowing who will be the replacement nom will likely prevent them from actually doing that and it’ll probably just expire. Quinn still may use it, especially if Angela wins HoH.
Stay tuned for updates and I’ll have a thread going for the live eviction show in a few hours
Joseph is sitting alone in the bathroom in silence. The other camera (because let’s face it…there are never 3 or 4 different feeds) is on the vine room sleeping.
Brooklyn loaded the dishwasher. Tucker is making coffee. Kenney is drinking coffee. Slow morning. Busy day ahead.
This is to ensure everything is ready to go for tonight. They shut the feeds off because they typically play music and let them sleep while in the HoH room as it usually takes a few hours
Quinn is wearing his nerd outfit again from hosting the veto comp.
(meaning if they meet in the hallway after voting) Rubina said they didn’t practice last week and his and Quinn’s was horrible. lol
that HOH would be nice. He thinks this week is going to be more of a physical comp.
I assume she is talking about not overreacting like her blockmate.
3-0
3-1
5-1
(I just realized I may have been calling her Makala)
6-1
7-1 Lisa has been evicted
There wasn’t much of a response.
They say they are not sure it will be athletic…they are just manifesting.
MJ tells Angela that she will never be disrespectful or dishonest. Angela says she didn’t want to be. MJ says she told her they were good and they are good.
Not sure what bed the are talking about.
They talk about the comp maybe the Wall comp. Quinn moving to the petal room. Quinn also says he remembered that his mom is probably watching but he gave a shoutout to his rock climbing friends. Lol
But he “just couldn’t do it with all the bullying she has done.”
She is holding an ice pack on her chin and jaw.
She says she doesn’t want to.
Everyone disagrees with her.
where you pick the next 2 competitors if you win the round. Angela says she is excited. Joseph tells her she is still alive. That she probably thought she didn’t have another comp.
He says of course Angela will probably go up. He is going to ask Kenney how he is feeling…if he wants to see his family or whatever. *eye roll*
Saying he doesn’t know for sure who he’s putting up. He’s leaning towards Angela and possibly Kenny if he still wants to go home
MacKenzie thinks Tkor or Quinn has one of the powers
MacKenzie telling Cedric about her power and how it works. She’s also telling him she told Tucker and Chelsea about it
She promises Cedric if he doesn’t put her up this week and he’s on the block next week, she will use her special power to save him
Chelsea joins convo. Cedric asking questions about how the power works. MacKenzie saying the other power is probably the same as hers since the downgrades were the same
They both agree to not put each other up. They’re being friendly but talking business
He wants to target Angela and take it easy. He wants to get the least amount of blood on his hands possible. MacKenzie agrees to share information with him for the week
Joseph says he doesn’t think the girls are with Cedric.
Discussing putting up Leah but he’s afraid of how MacKenzie will react because of her power
He’s considering keeping Kenny off the block because he’s in good graces with Tucker. His third nom hes considering Rubina or Leah
She suggests asking the other members of their alliance their thoughts on noms. Chelsea says she and Cedric should keep their distance so people don’t get suspicious
Kenny wants to go home
The comp was some sort of balance. They thought Tucker would win too.
Tells Cedric he worked narcotics for 22 years. Cedric confesses he was an intelligence analyst in the Marine Corps
They’re celebrating Cedrics win. Chelsea saying she’s afraid people will target her for her downgrade but overall she feels like she chose her people wisely
Angela looks tense and awkward. She’s sitting very stiff. She’s trying to laugh with the group but her face looks scared
Random upstairs crowd literally watching the fish tank. Apparently they got some new fish
Chelsea asks Cam who he would stay away from. He says he would stay away from MJ cuz of her power. They’re trying to figure out who the third nom will be
Chelsea and Cam are not sure about Kenny when he says he wants to go home but wins comps
Suggesting someone who won’t win anything like Leah or Joseph. Rubina is also an option
Kimo saying they should talk about the Collective with everyone in the alliance. Tkor saying MacKenzie is being fake
Kimo saying Cedric is probably gonna take the easy noms
Leah and Rubina discuss the issues with Lisa. They don’t think she was being authentic and that she couldn’t read the room. Kimo joins in and agrees
Discussing how to approach Cedric and what to say. Brooklyn thinks Cedric dislikes Leah. They’re not sure if he will try to expose powers this week
Discussing different scenarios but no matter what they’re not the targets this week
