Episode eight of Big Brother season 26 saw intense drama as houseguests tried to evict one of their cast mates. The Head of Household (HoH) Chelsie, nominated Angela, Tucker, and Lisa for eviction. She thought Tucker was strong enough to win the AI Arena competition and would be able to save himself, so Angela and Lisa would go for elimination.
What she predicted did happen, as Tucker saved himself by winning the challenge, leaving Lisa and Angela against each other. Earlier in the episode, the two women got into an argument after Angela overheard a few of her castmates talking about her. She went on to mock Lisa's walk and call her a "twit," with Lisa responding by calling her a "bully."
Fans of Big Brother season 26 took to X to call Angela out for her actions, as many believed that she would be the one getting eliminated. However, when the voting began, Kenney was the only one who voted for Angela's eviction, while the rest of the cast voted for Lisa.
Her eviction shocked netizens as they called out the houseguests for not doing their part, with one fan saying that not voting her out was a "big mistake."
"ANGELA probably will WIN this season cause no one will vote her out. Big mistake not voting her out this week."
"Kenny was the ONLY vote for Angela and seems he's the only person who is not a puppet, so he was going to stick with what he wanted to do. VERY weird voting because noone seemed happy afterwards. The house was full of confusion. Not sure whats going on," a fan said.
"Really????? #BB #BigBrother!!! Y’all didn’t vote off Angela?????" a user said.
"There is no way they voted LISA and not Angela.. be so fr. Then they started hugging her saying they’re gonna miss her when literally only ONE PERSON chose not to vote her," another tweet read.
Fans were also suspicious of the production, as they thought the team had asked the houseguests to keep Angela in the house. This was because she was at the center of several fights, pacts, and emotional breakdowns, and caused some drama. Her exit from Big Brother would make it a bit bland, which is what fans claimed in tweets.
"Producers were like you better vote Lisa out so Angela can carry the show," a fan said.
"Why is everyone voting for Lisa? Even Quinn said "for some reason" and everyone else doesn't seem like they wanted to vote Lisa out. Weirdest vote I've ever seen. Did @CBS threaten them all to keep Angela "for ratings"or what? I'm SO confused," wrote another.
"Can we pleaseee send Angela home next week?? It’s good TV but idk how much I can stand lol," a fan said.
"Love feeders, why is Kenny the only one voting for Angela???" a netizen said.
Why did Chelsie put up Angela for eviction from Big Brother season 26?
Big Brother houseguests Mackensy and Leah targeted Angela to leverage their alliance member Matt's eviction, which Angela was responsible for.
Angela was the Head of Household (HoH) when Matt was eliminated.
When Chelsie became the HOH in episode 6 of Big Brother, she said that she wanted to clear up the bad blood from the previous week. However, she nominated Angela because she wanted to use her as a pawn.
After she nominated them, Chelsie said that none of her decisions were personal, and she had made them purely by keeping the game in mind.
New Big Brother season 26 episodes come out on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm ET and on Sundays at 9 pm ET on CBS.
