Previously, in episode 17, Tucker won the veto competition and nominated Quinn, Brooklyn, and Cam for the elimination challenge in the AI arena. One of these two players was to be sent home if they didn't win the AI arena competition.
To the viewer's surprise, Tucker (Head of Household) chose Brooklyn in place of Quinn which meant Quinn was safe from possible eviction. This decision was made when the secret alliances The Collective and The Pentagon were disclosed in front of Tucker.
In the latest episode (18) of Big Brother, a word puzzle for an AI image formation task decided the fate of these three players as they competed to secure their position in the game. One of the most unexpected twists happened in this episode when one of these nominees got voted out.
Here's the synopsis of episode 18:
"Following a live vote, a houseguest is evicted and interviewed; remaining houseguests compete for power in the next head of household."
What happened on Big Brother season 26 episode 18?
In Big Brother season 26 episode 18, Tucker replaced Quinn with Chelsie as one of his elimination challenge nominees. Now the players who were ready to compete in the AI arena to save themselves from possible eviction were Chelsie, Brooklyn, and Cam.
In this challenge, the three players had to unjoin the words to form an AI picture. The person who completed the task first was Chelsie, who took the least amount of time and was able to secure her position in the game. This meant that out of the contestants Brooklyn and Cam, one of them was to be sent home as their journey on the show would come to an end.
The two players got a chance to convince other Big Brother houseguests to not vote them out. However, Cam didn't utilize this opportunity much and Chelsie was bitter about Tucker being the Head of Household. She told her fellow cast members that Tucker would not let anyone take his place.
When it was time to place the votes, it was revealed that Chelsie voted for Cam. Meanwhile, Leah, Quinn, Makensy, Rubina, Kimo, T’kor, Angela, and Joseph voted out Brooklyn. This meant Brooklyn was evicted from the Big Brother house in episode 18 with the majority of the votes.
As Tucker got to know about the secret alliance groups, the upcoming episode will reveal how the house dynamics change now.
To see what happens next, stream Big Brother season 26 on CBS every week on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
