Former Big Brother contestant from season 21, Jessica Milagros, expressed her happiness over the camaraderie shared by evicted contestants in the ongoing season 26.
Episode 33 of the current installment was released on CBS on Thursday, September 26, 2024. Head of Household (HoH) and Veto winner, Makensy Manbeck, chose Leah as a nominee alongside Angela after Kimo was saved.
With a 4-0 vote, Leah's journey ended on the CBS show. During the same episode, the HOH competition took place and Chelsie was declared the winner. As the new HoH, Chelsie nominated Angela and Kimo for a potential eviction. However, in the PoV competition, Kimo had already won and used his power to save himself to secure his position in the game. Due to this reason, the Big Brother HOH chose Rubina instead.
Unfortunately, Angela was voted out after Leah. During their exit interviews with show host Julie Chen Moonves, both contestants talked about their love for fellow housemates. They understood why the decision to evict them was made and expressed a strong connection with each other.
