Sonja Flemming/CBSBrother 26 took an interesting turn during the Wednesday, August 7, episode and viewers now have the opportunity to vote for this week’s replacement nomination.
The drama begins when Tucker Des Lauriers win the power of veto competition and come up with a plan for the backdoor Quinn Martin (or as close as you can get to the backdoor in the future where the extra BB AI arena competition makes them virtually impossible). Instead of using the veto to save himself, Tucker, 30, took it Angela Murray off the block instead, shocking fellow houseguests.
Although Tucker and Head of Household Cedric Hodges discuss the possibility of Tucker saving Angela, 50, and face the death of Quinn, 25, and the third nominee, Kenny Kelley, in the BB AI arena, Cedric, 21, finally decided it was too risky and that they did not have the votes to send Quinn home. Cedric warns Tucker to use the veto for himself, but Tucker refuses, and in the end Cedric votes. Mackenzie Manbeck as the replacement nominee instead of Quinn.
“This veto meeting is adjourned,” Tucker said after Cedric announced his decision.
Although Big Brother follows the basic formula from year to year, fans know to expect the unexpected when it comes to production twists. While some twists have jeopardized the player’s game – see season 8 “America Player,” Eric Stein – other houseguests have used unforeseen circumstances to their advantage. Jun Song, for example, pretends to hate (…)
“Actually, no,” Makensy, 22, replied, before activating the American Veto upgrade he received during the game’s first week. Makensy then gets off the block, and this time, nominating a replacement won’t be Cedric’s decision.

Turn on the heat. With contestants isolated from the outside world and filmed 24/7, the Big Brother house is a recipe for explosive behaviour. Fans of the CBS reality series have witnessed many fights over the years, from the infamous house fight on Keesha Smith’s birthday during season 10 to one-on-one spats like Rachel (…)
As with double-life expulsions, America’s Veto nominees won’t have much time to campaign for a vote. The nominees who received the most votes from the viewers will learn their fate on Thursday shortly before competing in the BB AI arena. If they can not pull out the victory, will be nominated American Veto against either Tucker or Kenney for elimination.

Sonja Flemming/CBSNo matter what happens with America’s Veto vote, this week’s chaotic veto meeting has rocked the house. Tucker claims that Cedric didn’t tell him not to use the veto on himself, which Cedric denies, and vows to target Cedric going forward. The entire house now also knows about Quinn’s secret HOH Deepfake powers, which allows her to control the nominations for a week. That means anyone who doesn’t align with Quinn has a strong incentive to vote for him if he’s on the block on Thursday.
Big Brother airs Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays on CBS and Paramount + at 8 pm ET.
