“He will never suspect”— Big Brother season 26 star Quinn explains why he told Tucker about Angela’s plan

Big Brother released episode 20 of season 26 on August 28, 2024 on CBS. In the episode, chaos ensued just before the veto ceremony, as the appearance of Tucker's avatar prompted a chain of events that led to Angela putting Tucker's name forward for elimination in front of other house guests.

Tucker's avatar stated that T’Kor would be his target and even questioned Quinn and Chelsie's intentions as they were "not to be trusted”. This made Big Brother's houseguests suspect Angela was behind the avatar and creating mistrust among the guests, as she had done so previously as well.

Tucker saw this and took Angela aside for a one-on-one conversation. Tucker clarified to Angela that he was on her side and the houseguests were planning to put her on the block. He even mentioned that his trust in Angela was at par with the trust he had in Rubina, with whom Tucker had built a showmance in recent weeks.

In front of the cameras, Angela was skeptical about Tucker's end goals and stated that Tucker was lying about her being on par with Rubina on Tucker's priority list. She wanted to do the "unthinkable" and try to target Tucker next and told Leah, Quinn, and Makensy about her plan. Quinn revealed Angela's plan to T'Kor and Tucker.

Quinn mentioned that since Tucker helped him out of the elimination block, he wanted to return the favor to Tucker and disclose Angela's plan, which would help him eliminate Tucker later on in the game.

"I'm gonna repay him the favor by telling him all the mean, nasty stuff Angela is saying. You know, build a little trust between us, let his guard down. In that way, he will never suspect when I eventually do take him out of this game," stated Quinn to the cameras.

Julie Chen Moonves is the host of Big Brother, which first premiered in the year 2000. The fans of reality TV were also introduced to the AI assistant of the house this season, Ainsle. Julie revealed that Ainsle had the power to change the rules in the middle of the game. The prize money is $750,000 as 16 contestants entered the house of Big Brother this season.

Who are the eventual nominees for eviction in Big Brother season 26 episode 20?

At the start of the episode, 11 houseguests remained in the house of Big Brother. They were: Angela Murray, Joseph Rodriguez, Kimo Apaka, Cam Sullivan-Brown, Chelsie Baham, Leah Peters, Makensy Manbeck, Quinn Martin, Rubina Bernabe, T’kor Clottey, and Tucker Des Lauriers.

The new HoH (Head of Household), T’kor Clottey, initially nominated Makensy Manbeck, Cam Sullivan-Brown, and Tucker Des Lauriers for eviction. But the Power of Veto was still on the line, which could lead to one of the nominees being safe from eviction, forcing T'Kor to nominate someone else.

The challenge to win the Power of Veto was titled AI Apocalypse in which the chosen players were allowed to use slingshots to knock down boards with scores written on them. The person with the lowest score would not go forward to the next round and would have to choose one of the top-secret envelopes. The envelopes had either a prize or a punishment inside.

The catch of this veto competition was that a person eliminated afterward could trade his/her card with the person eliminated before them. This would mean that players can strategize according to the reveal of the envelope. Cam won the AI Apocalypse competition and won the Power of Veto and took his name out of elimination. This prompted T'Kor to nominate Angela as the third nomination, along with Makensy and Tucker.
