Remaining participants entering the Big Brother house
In the first episode, the eight contestants met each other and took part in the first challenge, where they had to decide if they wanted a 17th contestant with them.
The cast members were also excited to meet the new set of contestants, who entered the Big Brother house on Thursday. They got a chance to meet the new contestants after the latter group completed their tasks and challenges.
Quinn, a nurse by profession, was the first person to enter the house in the second premiere episode. Brooklyn, a business administrator and pageant coach, entered the house next. The Big Brother season 26 contestant, her husband, and their family have been watching the show for years, and Brooklyn claims that she doesn't like losing.
The third contestant to enter the house was Matt, an urban cowboy who is a tech sales representative. Lisa, a celebrity chef, was the next contestant to enter the house. She describes herself as a "vibe curator," and says that she is the one who does multiple things, adding that she brings everyone and everything at an event together.
The next contestant was Leah, an underwear company owner, who has been running her business herself. She was looking to flirt with someone on the show and found Kenney. However, she is unaware that he is an undercover cop and a married man.
While Kenney tried hiding his true identity, he seemed to have forgotten about his American flag tattoo, which Cedric spotted. Cedric is the youngest contestant on Big Brother season 26 and a former Marine, who asked Kenney about the tattoo. He knew that Kenney was either a cop or was in the military, but he kept the information to himself for now.
T’Kor was the last contestant to enter the Big Brother season 26 house. She is a crochet business owner, who was raised in London before moving to Chicago.
The new contestants didn't meet the first eight housemates right after entering the Big Brother house. They first met Ainsley, the BB AI, and like the first group, they were also asked if they would accept or reject Ainsley. The AI was rejected as she received mixed votes, and the new contestants haven't been told about her being AI yet.
Big Brother season 26 new contestants were given different tasks
After the contestants voted to accept or reject Ainsley as their co-contestant, they had to undergo a task. Those who voted "yes" had to go through Facial Recognition, while those who voted "no" had to play AI Chip Install. The second group was supposed to install four chips into the AI and help her learn and upgrade. Meanwhile, the ones with slow Facial Recognition will get a downgrade.
Quinn, who had voted no, went first and had to install the chips, but what he didn't know was that the room would be moving. Brooklyn, Matt, and T'Kor voted yes and had to do the Facial Recognition challenge. With her makeup, Brooklyn got the first two parts right. However, Matt and T'Kor struggled a lot.
Apart from Cedric, most of the participants were stuck with the second piece itself, and couldn’t complete it.
It was after the challenges that the first and final eight contestants met each other. The results of the tasks were announced next. Cedric and Chelsie were downgraded. This means that they wouldn't be able to be the Head of the House while being downgraded. They also cannot vote for the first eviction, but they can be evicted from the house.
