Since the first week, CBS's Big Brother season 26 has been full of exciting twists and turns. The show features 16 housemates who live together under continuous surveillance without contact with the outside world. The winner will take home $750,000, while the runner-up housemate will win $75,000.
As part of the show's format, housemates undergo various tasks and challenges, and some are rewarded with special powers, such as the Power of Veto. This power allows the housemate to remove himself/herself or one of the nominees from eviction. Moreover, the PoV ensures the veto power holder is safe from the nomination process.
For the current season, Lisa (first week), Kenney (second week), and most recently, Tucker (third week) used the Power of Veto. During the third episode, one of the housemates, Makensy, won America’s Veto, with which she can anonymously remove any nominated housemates.
