Big Brother season 26 has entered week seven after premiering on July 17, 2024. Tucker was one of the favorite contestants to win the season and his eviction shocked everyone. Besides his alliance, Rubina was quite saddened by Tucker's exit. She was broken and couldn't control her emotions.

While talking to T'kor during a week 7 Big Brother episode, Rubina expressed her feelings for Tucker and said that she loved him deeply even after spending only six weeks with him.

"I don't even wanna admit that I loved the guy, but I do. It's only been six weeks and it's so stupid to say."

Big Brother season 26 star Rubina talked about her relationship with Tucker

Rubina was crying when she was talking about her relationship with Tucker. She told T'kor that she had no idea why she was feeling so sad about Tucker's exit. They only spent six weeks together on the show, however, they got very close to each other.

Rubina then expressed her regret about revealing her and Tucker's showmance to the other house guests and the viewers. In her confessional, she said that they tried so hard to hide their connection, however, in the end, they revealed it to everyone.

"We tried so hard to suppress the connection we had. But inevitably we did the exact opposite and went public to the entire house," Rubina said in her confessional.

Big Brother then showed a clip from day 44, when Tucker and Rubina gathered some of the houseguests and kissed in front of them to reveal their showmance. The houseguests that were present for the moment looked very excited and were happy for the couple.

Rubina then shared that she and Tucker knew what showmances do to contestants in the house. They even tried "not to like each other like that" but weren't able to suppress their feelings.

When Rubina told T'kor that she felt silly for being so sad, ex-HoH comforted her and told her that she "shouldn't feel silly whatsoever." At the end of their conversation, T'kor assured Rubina that she would always be there for her in the house.


How did Tucker get eliminated in Big Brother Season 26?

Tucker's demise started when he volunteered himself for week six's nominations. As a result, he was put on the block besides Cam and Makensy who were nominated by HoH T'kor.

Tucker, Makensy, Cam, and T'kor along with Angela, and Joseph, who were chosen later, were scheduled to compete in the Veto Competition to win over the Power of Veto. There were multiple rounds and the competitor with the fewer points got eliminated from the round while the rest moved ahead.

Tucker got to the final round, however, lost against Cam. Cam won the power of veto and used it to save himself from the eviction. HoH T'kor chose Angela as the replacement nominee for Cam and she was sent to the AI arena competition with other nominees Tucker and Makensy,

In the AI arena competition, nominated contestants had to solve a 10-piece puzzle to win. Makensy emerged victorious and Tucker and Angela were up for final eviction voting. With majority houseguest votes Tucker was evicted from the house.
