Big Brother season 26 aired a new episode this week on Thursday, September 26, 2024. The segment marked the end of the journey for two contestants, atypical of the one-person elimination that fans had seen in the show.
Angela and Leah were both eliminated from the CBS reality show as the cast voted twice in the episode. Leah was evicted first with a vote of 4-0, followed by Angela being evicted from the show. She told Leah how much she loved her before she made her way out of the house.
Big Brother season 26 fans reacted to the eviction online. One person wrote on X:
"Angela will go down in Big Brother history as a forever legend! PERIOD!!!!"
"tucker this, leah that, NO! angela is afp. period. entertaining, resilient, and proved she has a big heart even amidst all her beef. one of the best casting decisions the show has ever made," a fan commented.
"one of the most entertaining and iconic hg’s to ever grace our screens. thank you for all of your chaos this whole season queen," a tweet read.
Big Brother season 6 fans called Angela an icon:
"Angela making final 6 with two HoHs, the veto being used on her three times, and 1 veto win. She got into plenty of drama, was funny as hell, competitive as hell, and of course her exit was dramatic in the best way. ICON. Big Brother, pls continue to cast older women," a person wrote.
"A truly one of a kind character, its a miracle we got to keep Angela until the final six. Put her on All Stars, The Traitors, The Challenge and every other show," a fan commented.
"I sat here silently making fun of everyone that said "seasons over" when Tucker was evicted. Now I'm sitting here doing the exact same thing now that Angela is gone," a tweet read.
Big Brother season 26 fans further said:
"Angela brought SO much to the season! That was one rollercoaster of a journey and it was so chaotic and entertaining. I can’t believe she made it this far thank you for the memes we will use forevaa," a person wrote.
"from marching down the stairs on day 5, screaming ‘crazy eyes’ at the jock dude, winning more comps than ANYONE expected to AND having BROKE the RECORD for more houseguests using veto on her than anyone else in BB HISTORY…Angela Murray, TAKE A D*MN BOW!" a fan commented.
"This 50-freaking-5-year-old woman is a threat"— Angela says, leaves the Big Brother house
In Big Brother season 26 episode 33, Angela was evicted in the double elimination that ended her and Leah Peters' journey. As she left the house, Angela hugged everyone and made her way to the door. As she was leaving, she said:
"You know what guys, I guess this 55-year-old woman, this 50-freaking-five-year-old woman, is a threat."
Angela said it was okay that the season 26 cast voted her out because she was proud to be a threat. She told Kimo she loved him, and told everyone she would have taken him to the end. She told everyone she loved them as she exited and met the host of the show, Julie Chen Moonves.
She hugged Julie as the studio audience cheered and hooted for the evicted houseguest. The host said her why she thought the houseguests voted her out after Angela survived 6 evictions.
"'Cause I'm a threat, Julie," she said.
Angela said they made the right choice because she would have won Big Brother season 26. Julie asked her who she would have taken to the end and Angela said Kimo. She said she would have been okay if he won the show over her.
Season 26 fans reacted to Angela's eviction from the CBS show and praised her time in the house. They called her a "national treasure," an icon, and more.
Big Brother season 26 airs episodes on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays on CBS.
