In episode 17, the HOH nominated himself alongside Makensy and Joseph for the veto competition. To viewers' surprise, Tucker won the veto power by the end of the game.
Big Brother season 26 episode 17 was released exclusively on CBS on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, at 8 pm ET/PT. The episode synopsis reads:
"The houseguests compete to win the power of veto; during the veto meeting, the winner of the competition can keep nominations the same or save someone from eviction for the week."
Tucker won the veto power on Big Brother season 26 episode 17
On Big Brother season 26 episode 17, Tucker chose himself, Makensy, and Joseph alongside the three previous nominees Quinn Martin, Cam Sullivan-Brown, and Brooklyn Rivera for the veto competition. To win the veto power, each player had to compete in a game called Hide-n-Go Veto. Additionally, each player was given a card with their name on it but all these cards looked identical.
The main task was to hide the card. If someone finds the hidden card, the player whose name is mentioned will be eliminated from the game. The main twist in this game was that all cards seemed identical so the players weren't aware of who they were eliminating if they found a card.
In this competition to win the veto power, Joseph hid his card in Angela’s bag and Brooklyn hid hers in Quinn’s. Meanwhile, the Big Brother contestants Cam and Makensy hid theirs under a pillow and a plant respectively.
The first player to find Brooklyn's card was Quinn, then Cam also found the card Quin had hidden. Later, Tucker found the card under the plant as well. Wrapping up the game, Cam found the last card which had Joseph's name on it, meaning Tucker was the winner.
Contestants who lost in the veto competition included:
- Brooklyn
- Quinn
- Makensy
- Cam
- Joseph
Tucker's win meant that he had become one of the most powerful contestants in this competition, being Head of the Household and having the veto. The upcoming episode will reveal how Tucker used his new power and how will that transform the Big Brother dynamics in the future, now that the secret alliances have been exposed.
