What happened on Big Brother season 26 episode 31?
On Big Brother season 26 episode 31, the remaining houseguests had to compete in a game called Eye Candy. In this task, the players had to stack candies and complete this challenge within one hour.
The competing players were not able to see one another and the buzzer was an indication as soon as one participant had completed the task.
Out of the seven players, the people who made it to the top 3 in this game were Rubina, Makensy, and Angela. Angela took third place, which meant the challenge was now between Makensy and Rubina. In the end, Makensy was declared as the winner.
Before the Head of the Household competition, Makensy had admitted to either nominating Kimo and Rubina, or Angela and Leah in case she won.
Later in the Big Brother season 26 episode, the players gave a heartfelt tribute to Jankie and reflected on their time in the Jankie World.
Then, Chelsie clarified why she took the decision to vote out T'kor in the previous episode. She explained that she wanted to support the unanimous house decision which was to evict T'kor despite the latter being one of her closest friends.
Leah was not satisfied with this answer and thought Chelsie was being clever with her moves. The Big Brother contestant questioned if she should have chosen Chelsie as a target during her time as a HOH.
Makensy, on the other hand, tried to have a conversation with each player about the eviction nominees. Leah told Angela that she would be the pawn as nominating Kimo as the target was important.
The new HOH said the same thing to Kimo stating he would be the pawn but Angela was the main target.
Hence, the new Big Brother HOH chose Kimo and Angela as the eviction nominees. The upcoming Power of Veto challenge will decide which contestant will replace one of these places. Chelsie plans on winning the task and putting Leah on the block.
