Big Brother season 26 got a little more close to its finale with episode 30, which aired on September 19. Week 9 was easily the most intense week by far as it saw 5 voters' decision to eliminate one among Rubina and T'kor. By a vote of 4-1, T’Kor was ultimately evicted from the show.
With the contestant pool smaller in size and every alliance holding high value, the houseguests were scrambling to get as many people on their side as they coud. Meanwhile, viewers saw Chelsie expressing concern over Cam's friendship with Makensy and Leah in the past as well because she thought Cam, her old ally, wouldn't pick her over the other two when she wanted him to.
In episode 30, Chelsie commented on Cam's bond with Makensy. She openly criticized him for growing closer to the latter and even said that he was "toying with all the women". This convinced Leah that Chelsie indeed had a crush on Cam, and wasn't just concerned about their alliance as she claimed.
Cam shared that he was annoyed that Chelsie didn't trust him. Fans of Big Brother reacted to Chelsie's disapproval of Cam and Makensy's growing closeness. Some of them echoed Leah's sentiments, while others thought Chelsie's judgement was clouded. Some of them thought Cam was in the wrong.
"You all want Chelsie to fail so bad. She a little delulu about Cam, but apart from that she is a good player to watch," an X user wrote.
"'People are looking at you and Makensy more than they're looking at me and you' And that's a GOOD thing Chelsie, please be serious," another user wrote.
"Chelsie smart as hell when it comes to this game but dumb as rocks when it comes to Cam, she’s really pissing me off," a third user commented.
"Leah DR- It doesn't take rocket scientist to see that Chelsie has a crush on Cam, and Cam has been getting a little closer to Makensy. Now Chelsie is a little jelly," another fan wrote on X.
Some Big Brother fans commented that Chelsie was jealous. Others shared that Cam only considered her an ally in the game, while she viewed it as something more.
"This is like Chelsie’s third jealousy segment making it into the edit this season," one viewer said.
"Cam thinks of their relationship as an alliance, whereas Chelsie thinks it’s romantic," one fan said
"Cam emphasizing that his close relationship with Chelsie is just in the game," another said.
What happened between Chelsie and Cam on Big Brother season 26?
Chelsie and Cam had been allied a long time before he got to know Leah or Makensy on Big Brother. So when he started spending more time with the latter, Chelsie didn't like it. She discussed the same with him in the past where he told her she had nothing to worry about because she was above all.
However, his closeness with Makensy involved petting and cuddling, and the last episode also saw him move his bed a few inches closer to Makensy's. This bothered Chelsie because if Cam and Makensy had a romantic connection, there was no chance he was voting to save Chelsie.
Some Big Brother fans and houseguests thought Chelsie had a crush on Cam but just wasn't admitting it. Others saw how a romantic bond between Cam and any other houseguest could threaten Chelsie's position in the game and thought her reaction was justified.
