On the newest episode of Big Brother season 26, Tucker Des Lauriers has taken home the important "Fire Wall" HoH competition. This victory would grant Tucker the ultimate power to name three houseguests up for eviction. He put up Quinn Martin, Cam Sullivan-Brown, and Brooklyn Rivera for nomination in an attempt to further his strategic game for the week.
The episode originally aired on August 18, 2024, and it was drama-filled right after the recent eviction of Cedric Hodges. There were remaining houseguests competing against each other in the endurance-based competition entitled "Fire Wall," which finally ended with Tucker outlasting everybody else to secure his position as the new HoH.
Big Brother season 26 gameplay
Big Brother is a reality TV show in which contestants inhabit a house under constant surveillance. They are closed to the outside world, and weekly challenges regarding power and eviction must be competed for. The title of Head of Household is awarded weekly, and whoever wins—HoH—is given the power to nominate contestants for possible eviction.

The other houseguests vote to evict one of these nominees. The last remaining contestant wins a cash prize. It is a strategy-laden, alliance-driven game with drama among contestants for social dynamics on the way to securing a grand prize.
Results of the Fire Wall competition
The Fire Wall competition required houseguests to cling to a wall as long as possible while being introduced to different challenges throughout. Angela Murray, Kimo Apaka, and Joseph Rodriguez were the first to fall and became the Have-Nots for that week. Leah Peters, Chelsie Baham, T'Kor Clottey, Makensy Manbeck, and Brooklyn Rivera all dropped out at different stages of the competition.
The last three houseguests were Cam, Quinn and Tucker. Cam worked hard but slipped from the wall with less than 29 minutes to go. In the end, Tucker came out on top over Quinn, who was the final player to drop. With that, he won the HoH and got the right to decide how the gameplay would go in this week on Big Brother.
Tucker's Plan for Nominations
First, the new HoH in Big Brother, Tucker, was strategizing with his allies Kimo, T'Kor, and Joseph. They formed a new alliance named Sixth Avenue, trying to ride their way to the end by controlling the vote. He revealed his plan of nominating Quinn, Cam, and Brooklyn, with Quinn ultimately being his main target for elimination.
At the ceremony, he explained to them that he had targeted Quinn all along because of his competitive performance and social game. He further assured Brooklyn and Cam that putting them up on the block was only a means to his end: evicting Quinn from the house. Much tension is at play as Tucker tries to placate Quinn by saying that he is simply a pawn for them.
