Big Brother season 26 episode 27 revealed that Quinn was to be sent home after his fellow cast members voted him out. Contestants who are still competing for the final grand prize include Angela Murray, Cam Sullivan-Brown, Chelsie Baham, Kimo Apaka, Leah Peters, Makensy Manbeck Rubina Bernabe, and T’kor Clottey.
It was a surprising plot twist as the previous Head of the Household, Quinn was evicted this week. During his exit interview, the 25-year-old nurse recruiter shared the reason why he was voted out. Quinn admitted to being a "liar" which is why most players in the BB house had a hard time fully trusting him and believing his word. Quinn also mentioned that his game strategy might have led to breaking "a lot of people's trust." He said:
"I think I broke a lot of peoples’ trust by siphoning information from the Pentagon into the Visionaries. My word didn’t mean much in there because, truly, I was a liar to my core.”

"Following a live vote, a houseguest is evicted and interviewed; remaining houseguests compete for power in the next head of household."
Quinn opens up about his alliances and strategy after Big Brother season 26 eviction
Quinn left the Big Brother house without saying much, he reflected on his time on the show in front of show host Jerry O’Connell. Jerry has taken over Julie Chen's hosting till the time she recovers from COVID-19. Quinn shared why he didn't think it was necessary to give a speech before leaving, he said:
“What’s the point of saying, ‘Thanks guys, I appreciate you voting me out. Let’s hug and hold hands.'"
The Big Brother contestant also shared how the majority of the votes changed the decision in week 3. According to Quinn, mental competition is more difficult than physical ones, and each person's critical thinking is put to use. He stated that he didn't feel betrayed by anyone as everyone was playing their own game to win in the end. Quinn continued:
"I don’t feel particularly betrayed by anyone. Mental comps they’re killing it and I just feel shocked by their decision, strategically.”
Both Joseph and Cedric Hodges were Quinn's friends who had a strong alliance with him. Despite that, Quinn chose them as his pawns among the three nominees when he was the HOH. Quinn's decision led to their elimination and could have been a lesson for him. He shared why he didn't choose T'kor instead, Quinn mentioned:
“I thought I could maybe play the long game by not putting up T’Kor, who had I’m assuming a final two with Chelsie. I was hoping to buy some good will moving into the next couple of weeks. The chances of T’Kor winning an HOH I felt was much higher than Joseph, so I felt like poking that bear would disintegrate my chances of making it further in the game.”
