Season 26 of Big Brother is inching closer to its end, and with the finale set to be released on October 13, 2024, each houseguest is putting their best foot forward, hoping to evade elimination so close to the finish line. They are playing a calculated game, vying to walk away with the winner's title and the $750,000 prize.
Each houseguest must win challenges to advance in the competition and secure their position in the game. The Head of Household or the HoH grants its owner the power to nominate their rivals for elimination. Similarly, the Power of Veto or the PoV allows its winners to save themselves from impending evictions.
Each week the houseguests compete against one another to win these advantages. However, lately, Rubina has struggled to secure a win. Besides one AI Arena comp, she has not won a single challenge in season 26. Despite that, she has made it to the final four.
Big Brother fans are not impressed by the game Rubina has played. They flock to X to criticize her performance throughout the season.
"lol i remember pre season how rubina said “i’m not gonna let a man dictate my game” and she did exactly that. also she made no impact this entire season. no big moves or major comp wins. a flop overall tbh," a fan wrote.
"Rubina seriously thinks the reason she made it to the final 4 is because she's kept her mouth shut. She doesn't seem to accept it's also largely due to her inability to win comps and be a threat," a netizen tweeted.
"But damn. At this point, Rubina could compete against just herself and still manage to lose," another fan commented.
Many Big Brother fans compare her to Cam, another houseguest in the final four with only one win under his belt.
"I’m sorry but Rubina & Cam should be so f**king embarrassed to not win a single damn thing this far in the game," one fan wrote.
"*Cam & Rubina have LOST another comp, making their comp record 1 win and 19 losses. #BB26 This is more accurate," a person commented.
"no matter who makes f3 between cam and rubina, the fact that these two influencer recruit flops even made it this far is commendable lmao, good for them!" a user reacted.
At the same time, Big Brother fans continue to criticize Rubina for her underwhelming performance in the show.
"rubina you did absolutely nothing but chase a man all season and lose competitions. YOU, out of all the people in that house DO NOT deserve to win. i said what i said," another user tweeted.
"I don’t like how comfortable Rubina feels and she has not won anything but some whack AI Arena comp," one person reacted.
"Rubina is not some robbed queen, she has done absolutely nothing. Sorry !" a netizen commented.
Big Brother star Rubina prides herself on her gameplay
In one segment from the Live Feeds on Paramount+, Rubina is heard talking to the cameras, motivating herself despite losing the latest HoH and PoV comps to Chelsie and Makensy respectively. She is satisfied with her strategy, which has not forced her to backstab her friends and allies.
"My losses, unfortunately for others, became wins for me. I would not be here in the final four if not for all of those losses," Rubina says.
Even after losing most of the challenges, the Big Brother star refused to give up, determined to look for the winning angle. She believed there is an "underdog story" that could take her to the finish line.
She mentioned she is the oldest one remaining in the Big Brother house and that it is "never too late" to turn the game around.
"You really can do everything...and there are still wins in losses. Okay? You can still win even when you lose and that has been my whole life," she says.
Despite the cut-throat competition, the Big Brother cast member complimented herself for making it so far in the show. She proceeded to do the "celebration dance," applauding herself for making it to the final four, "maybe final three."
Big Brother airs Sundays and Thursdays only on CBS.
