Big Brother season 26 episode 21 concluded on a surprising note when Tucker was evicted from the BB house. This was one of the most unexpected twists on the show so far, as Tucker was considered a great player. He was an AI Instigator in the house and also received the power of veto, alongside being the Head of the Household in the previous episodes.
The main reason behind Tucker's elimination was Angela, who blindsided him by making the Big Brother contestant a target.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on August 30, 2024, Tucker shared he was "hurt" by Angela's actions but could "understand" why she took a step like that. He mentioned it was a "game" and he was proud of Angela for competing against him. Tucker stated:
"It still hurts a little, but I love her. It's just part of the game. So I can understand why she did what she did. I told her that I was proud of her for being the first one to try to take that strike at me."

Big Brother season 26 star Tucker's opinion of Angela
During his ET interview, the Big Brother season 26 contestant reflected on Angela's Diary Room sessions. He explained that Angela wasn't too much of a dramatic person and highlighted her personality traits.
Tucker implied that Angela might be using a strategy to showcase a certain persona in front of the houseguests or the camera, he mentioned:
"She is up there, but she's not the most dramatic. We'll see once I watch the show and see her Diary Room sessions. Maybe she'll move up another block, but no, she is great. And honestly, that could just be part of her strategy, and I don't know how, but it's working."
In another conversation with Parade on August 30, 2024, he described Angela as an "unloyal" person. He also called her:
"Crazy, unloyal, paranoid."
The Big Brother star explained he was trying to keep "Sixth Avenue alive" and the alliance members kept Angela included. He also said that the nature of the game makes contestants "paranoid" and the doubts and concerns about one another can really get to them. Tucker said he could understand why Angela had to "take a strike on him."
Reflecting back on his eviction, Tucker said he was familiar with the elimination competitions and felt confident to go back into the AI arena. He knew he was an "appetizing target" and was considered a threat in the house.
Before exiting the villa, one of the players, Brooklyn, warned the remaining participants to be aware of Tucker's actions. Tucker stated that despite the reassurance he was well aware that he was a threat:
"I knew I had to win or I was going home. People were reassuring me that I had the votes, but I know that I was going to be a very appetizing target up there based on my gameplay. So, unfortunately, I am here."
To see Tucker's journey on the show, stream the previous Big Brother season 26 episodes exclusively on CBS. Fans can also follow Tucker's official, Instagram account.
The upcoming episodes will reveal what Angela's next strategy will be, now that Quin is the new Head of the Household, resulting in changing house dynamics.
