On Big Brother season 26 episode 12 the players competed in a challenge to become the Head of Household. In this task, contestants had to find mistakes in AI images. The correct answer would lead to multiple face-offs until a winner is decided between two final cast members.

At first, Cam and Kimo were competing and it was revealed that Cam had won. He then chose Tucker and Quinn for a face-off. Tucker won and chose Angela and Chelsie to play. When the two housemates completed the task, Angela won and selected Rubina and Brooklyn as the next players.

In the end, Angela was announced as the Head of Household and chose Quinn, Brooklyn, and Cedric as her nominees. However, she wasn't ready to share this information with Quinn who had the power to overthrow her decision and nominate three contestants of his own.

Angela and Quinn felt they couldn't trust one another. Quinn knew there was something fishy going on and there might be a possibility Angela chose him for elimination due to her bond with Tucker. As fans already know Tucker wanted Quinn to be eliminated from the game and has put him in a risky position multiple times.

Finally, Quinn decided to use his Deep fake AI power in the Big Brother house despite telling his housemates he won't. An AI version of Angela appeared on the screen and selected houseguests according to Quinn's choice. He chose Tucker, Makensy, and Cedric for eviction.
