Big Brother season 26 has already made it to episode 10, which was released on August 7. The competition in the house was more intense because the contestant pool had now been reduced to 14. Cedric the HoH this week, had put up Angela, Tucker, and Kenney on nominations, but that was subject to change because the Power of Veto competition hadn't yet happened.
After Tucker won the PoV competition, he chose to save Angela from the eviction, because he thought he and Kenney had higher chances of winning the AI Arena against Quinn, who he conspired to bring in as a replacement.
The Big Brother episode ended with the power of replacement in America's hands. Ainsley revealed that the replaced candidate will be revealed right before the AI Arena challenge according to America's votes.
Fans of the show took to X to show off their votes for Quinn. They wanted him to get evicted because he was among the stronger players in the house and could win the competition easily. Each ID gets 10 votes, fans were putting all 10 on Quinn and showing it off on X.
"I gave 10 votes for Quinn. It took a sec to be able to vote for him," one fan said.
"Me watching a 30 second ad so I can vote for Quinn to go up 10 times instead of 5," said another.
"Quinn is awfully cocky for someone who is about to get put up for eviction by America," one user wrote.
"I got curious and decided to check the #BB26 hashtag to see where everyone's America's Veto votes are going thus far; not looking good for Quinn in the early going," another user wrote.
Some fans tried influencing other people to vote for Quinn while others hoped he would get evicted.
"Purely for entertainment value, my 10 votes went to Quinn. You decide the fate of houseguests in Big Brother Season 26. Vote now," one comment read.
"My 10 votes are in for Quinn! Hopefully he gets put up .. it would be the most entertaining/drama. Otherwise Quinn will be boring next week and put up Angela/Kenney/Tucker," another comment read.
Some Big Brother fans were against voting for Quinn because they thought that would mean giving Kenney a chance to survive one more eviction.
"We need Kenney to go home, and we need to shake things in the house. Don't waste your vote for Quinn. Vote Leah! #BB26," said a fan.
"If you want Kenney to leave, and if you want Tucker to stay, don't vote Quinn for America's Veto. Because Tucker is going home against Quinn. Put Cam up because he can beat Kenney in the arena. You're not voting for Quinn to leave, you're voting for Kenney to stay," wrote another fan.
Why did the houseguests hope Quinn gets nominated on episode 10 of Big Brother season 26?
After Tucker secured the Power of Veto on episode 10 of Big Brother season 26, he talked to some of the people in the house about his game plan. He thought if he saved Angela with it, Quinn's chances of eviction would get stronger because he thought he stood a better chance of winning the AI Arena against Quinn than Angela.
So he saved Angela. He tried finding out if Quinn had the secret power Angela kept hinting toward. Kimo confirmed it, and Tucker took the information to Cedric. The power enabled Quinn to hijack HoH's nominations whenever he wanted.
This became one more reason for Tucker to want Quinn's nomination because he wanted to use up his power, to prevent any future mishaps. Now it is for the fans to see if Quinn indeed becomes the one to get nominated, and if so, would the houseguests vote to evict him.
New episodes of Big Brother season 26 are aired on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm ET, and on Fridays at 9 pm ET, on CBS.
