What happened on Big Brother season 26 episode 9?
After Lisa Weintraub's eviction in episode 8, the viewers realized she was considered a threat. On Big Brother, season 26 episode 9 Head of Household Chelsie Baham was to be replaced with a new cast member taking over her position.
To win the position of HOH, participants had to compete as life-sized game pieces by placing themselves on a path. T’Kor and Quinn were the first two participants to score 9 points in 42.77 seconds and 18 points in 42.69 seconds respectively. Kimo, Cam, Brooklyn, Rubina, Joseph, and Angela couldn't get a high score.
The only Big Brother houseguest to score 27 in 44.38 seconds was Cedric who beat Kenney, Tucker, and Leah in the game. When it was time to nominate 3 players for eviction, the new Head of Household, Cedric decided that he had already chosen Angela as the first player. Kenney revealed he was fine with being nominated and wouldn't complain if he was selected.
For the third nominee, the Big Brother contestant revealed he might choose Leah, as he suggested his name in the past. Tucker himself volunteered to be selected but Cedric couldn't take that risk as he was his ally in the house. Then in a conversation with Kenney and Tucker, Cedric was told that the female housemate alliance was too strong.
They suggested that Cedric should put Makensy on the block due to her power and influence in the BB house. However unexpectedly, Cedric decided to choose Tucker instead. This was a shocking plot twist for the house guests as well as the audience who watched episode 9.
By the end of the episode, the new Head of Household Cedric revealed that he had chosen the three nominees for elimination. Contestants Angela, Kenney, and Tucker might have to go home if they don't get votes to secure their position in the house.
It's yet to be seen how Cedric changes the dynamics in the house further and who he makes alliances with. The upcoming episode 10 will reveal who wins the AI competition and the power of veto. One player will get an opportunity to save another housemate from a possible eviction.
Episode 10 will air on August 7, 2024 on CBS. Till then fans can stream the previous episodes of Big Brother season 26 exclusively on Paramount+.
