CBS describes the show as,

"Big Brother follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, someone will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining Houseguest receiving the grand prize of $750,000."

For all the fans, here is the list of all the participants who have been eliminated so far from Big Brother season 26.

Week 1: Matt Hardeman

Matt Hardeman, a tech sales rep from Roswell, Georgia, was the first housemate of the 26th season to get eliminated. He was nominated after having a conflict with the first Head of the House (HoH), Angela.

He was on the chopping block along with fellow housemate Kenney Kelley. With eight majority votes against him, Matt was sent home on day 10 of the reality TV show.


Week 2: Lisa Weintraub

The second elimination of the show was celebrity chef Lisa Weintraub, 33, from Los Angeles, California. On day 17, she was eliminated after being blindsided by the others.

The housemates decided to evict Weintraub after Angela Murray nominated her. During the show’s first week, Weintraub held the Power of Veto. However, she was evicted the following week despite having this power.


Week 3: Kenney Kelley

Kelley, 52, is a former undercover cop from Boston, Massachusetts. He was the third contestant to be evicted on day 24 after losing a competition to Quinn.

Moreover, on the show, Kenney expressed missing his family. Following his elimination, he admitted that if he had joined the show a few years earlier, his game and "strategies" could have been better.


Week 4: Cedric Hodges

Big Brother season 26 day 31 featured the elimination of Cedric Hodges, a resident of Boise, Idaho. This occurred after his ally Quinn won the Head of Household (HoH) competition. Hodges had believed he would be safe, as he was aligned with T’kor and Kimo, but things did not go as he expected.

The former Big Brother housemate was also the HoH during the show's third week. Despite his leadership qualities, he was nominated and eventually evicted from the show.


Week 5: Brooklyn Rivera

Brooklyn Rivera, a business administration from Dallas, Texas, was evicted during the show's fifth week. Brooklyn was part of The Pentagon alliance before her nomination, which eventually resulted in her eviction. Circumstances turned out against her as soon as the alliance saw its split.

Brooklyn Rivera and Cam Sullivan-Brown were the initial nominees, and Chelsie Baham later joined. Consequently, Rivera was evicted on day 38.


Week 6: Tucker Des Lauriers

Big Brother season 26 day 45 marked housemate Tucker Des Lauriers' elimination. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York and working as a sales and marketing executive, Lauriers outperformed all other housemates on the show.

Like many other occasions, he was selected as the "pawn," and his housemates shockingly turned against him by voting him out on day 45.


Week 7: Joseph Rodriguez

A video store clerk from Tampa, Florida, Joseph Rodriguez, was eliminated on day 52. Ever since the show premiered, Rodriguez has been staying under the radar, playing by the rules, and winning various challenges.

He became the target due to some of his conversations about his strategies and thoughts regarding his allies. Although Rodriguez was confident he would be safe from nomination, he was still shocked to learn about the shifting dynamics on the show just before his eviction.


Week 8: Quinn Martin

Big Brother season 26 week 8 saw housemate Quinn Martin's eviction, which was the most recent one. Housemates Kimo and Martin were nominated, and the latter was evicted with 4-2 votes.

During his exit interview with guest host Jerry O'Connell, he revealed how he strategized to break alliances on the show while also "siphoning" information from his fellow housemates. However, Martin shared that he had no hard feelings after learning about his elimination from the show.


Fans can stream Big Brother season 26 on CBS and Paramount+. The show's new episodes air every Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
