Big Brother season 26: Makensy claims Tucker told her to “throw” the upcoming AI comp

Big Brother season 26 episode 20 had everything from the veto competition and meeting to the drama and betrayal that came after.

Cam, Tucker, and Makensy were on the block in Big Brother week six. However, before heading to the AI arena and eviction, they had the chance to win the veto competition and get the Power of Veto to save themselves from danger. Cam came out victorious and used the veto to get out of the nominations.

T’Kor then had to decide to select a replacement nominee. She thought about choosing Leah but after she got the message that Angela was plotting to take out her alliance member Tucker, she had to reconsider. Tucker, however, told her to go for Leah as he wanted to save Angela even after her betrayal.

Big Brother HoH T’Kor ended up sending Angela to the block. This decision did not sit well with Tucker who said that he did so much for T’Kor, and that she should have listened to him. Angela, Tucker, and Makensy are scheduled to compete in the AI arena. Even after all the drama, Tucker was hell-bent on saving Angela.

While talking to T’Kor after the veto meeting, Makensy revealed that Tucker told her to “throw” the upcoming AI comp. Makensy said:

"He was kind of insinuating that and not directly saying that... Basically he just told me to throw the comp."

T’Kor suggested to her that she shouldn't listen to him because "it didn't make sense to throw anything, especially the AI arena comp." Makensy agreed with HoH and told her that she was not planning on throwing it.

Big Brother season 26 episode 20 Veto competition

All the veto meeting drama started with the veto competition. Besides Cam, Tucker, and Makensy (who were on the block), and T’Kor (HoH), Joseph and Angela were selected to compete for the Power of Veto.

This Big Brother veto competition had multiple rounds and the houseguests had to slingshot a robot army with each robot having a certain point on it. The competitor with the lowest point in a particular round will be eliminated and will need to pick a prize or punishment.

The rest will move to the next round and get the chance to steal a prize from the contestants who were eliminated before them.

Joseph got eliminated from the first round with 0 points and picked Power of Veto. Angela got out in the second round with 0 points and picked a solitary confinement punishment which she traded for Joseph's Veto. With round there, Makensy was the one with the lowest points and picked a trip to Hawaii and kept it.

The competition came down to Cam, T’Kor and Tucker. T’Kor got eliminated and picked a punishment to clean the yard for 12 hours. However, HoH traded it for the Angela's Veto. In the final round, Tucker lost to Cam and picked $5,000 which he traded with T’Kor's Veto.

Tucker thought that Cam would take Veto anyway and trade the punishment he picked with T’Kor. To save his alliance member T’Kor, by trading, Tucker took the punishment. Cam came out with the Power of Veto and intended to use it on himself to get out of the nominations.

After multiple AI Instigator Alerts during the episode, the Big Brother houseguests began to speculate that Angela was responsible for the alerts. Tucker warned Angela about the growing suspicion, but this led her to doubt his intentions. As a result, Angela started planning to take Tucker out of the competition.

Angela took her plan to Makensy, Quinn, and Leah. However, Quinn went against her back and informed HoH T’Kor about her plan. This led to T’Kor nominating Angela instead of Leah and Tucker asking Makensy to throw her upcoming AI comp.
