"Biggest idiot"— Big Brother fans react to Makensy eliminating Rubina

Big Brother season 26 aired a brand new episode this week on Thursday, October 10, 2024. The live elimination segment revealed the final three after Makesy chose Cam over Rubina by evicting the latter from the CBS reality show.

Cam and Makensy competed in the last Veto Competition of the season, and the winner had the power to eliminate a contestant of their choice. Makensy, the winner of the comp. chose to eliminate Rubina.

"I’m glad Rubina left but Makensy really is the biggest idiot... can’t wait to see Chelsie win it all"

"Makensey tied or may possibly exceed all time comp wins in BB.. also the most gullible player in BB history. That’s quite the juxtaposition," a fan commented.

"And how do you spell gullible??? That probably won BB for Chelsie unless MJ can win HOH and get her out. That is the only possible way. But she will be dumb enough to vote cam out if she does win," a tweet read.

Fans of Big Brother season 26 commented on Rubina's time on the show.

"Rubina's light, energy and jist colorfully positive outlook even when she doubted herself was such a breath of fresh air. From Friendzzz, to finding love again and being an honorary dawg, I am so proud of her BB journey & cant wait to see what her future holds," a person wrote.

"Rubina, you are a sunshine. So much of you is great. You were funny, passionate,vulnerable, human. I hope this opportunity allowed you to see that you're stronger and more loved than what you perceived. I've enjoyed your presence this season," a fan commented.

"Oh my dear sweet Rubina. I’m so beyond glad I chose you to be my Number 1. You really were a light in that house and it’s actually hurting me to see you go. I had sm fun watching you throughout the summer. I will forever and always be a Bernababe," a tweet read.

Big Brother season 26 fans further said:

"And with that, it’s over. Thank you all so much for the experience. I’m ugly crying rn but don’t mind me. Hoping to see you all next year with more info! Until then, I’ve been THEE Rubina Updates," a person wrote.

"thank you rubina for being a positive light this season, the filipino representation i never had growing up, and the self-empowering inspirational woman that you are," a fan commented.
