The Big Brother season 26 finale is currently underway. The segment featured the final three— Cam, Chelsie, and Makensy— competing in the final round of competitions to decide the final two.
As part of the format, the final three had to compete in three Head of Household competitions. The person with the most wins would decide who they wanted to pick as their competitor in the final two. Chelsie won the first HoH comp, while Makensy won part 2, making them eligible to compete in part 3. Makensy won the competition and had the power to pick who she wanted to take to the final 2.
Big Brother season 26 fans reacted to the final HoH competition online and praised Makensy's gameplay:
"Winning the final HoH, Makensy makes F2 without ever been able to be evicted. She took herself off the block all the times she was nominated. For someone who was on the bottom for a lot of times this season, it's impressive"
"It’s Official with Makensy being the final HOH she is the only person this season to never sit on the block on eviction night," a fan commented.
"That was one of the funniest part 3 hoh comps the way Chelsie and Makensy just guessed the whole time LMAO and they some how got the answers right every time," a tweet read.
Big Brother fans compared Makensy's journey to alums of the CBS show:
"Makensy Jo Manbeck wins the Final HoH. Janelle Pierzina has never won the Final HoH," a person wrote.
"And…in shock (no sarcasm), Makensy wins the last HoH of the season, with Chelsie choking at the last second with the final answer. And with that, Makensy now ties with Jag from last year with the most amount of comp wins in a single season with 10," a fan commented.
"Makensy Jo Manbeck has officially WON part 3 of the HOH comp! She has OFFICIALLY broke the record for most comp wins in a season, with the previous record being Jag Bains 10 wins. Makensy has 11 wins and is in the final 2 and will NOT be evicted this season!" a tweet read.
Big Brother season 26 fans further said:
"Chelsie and Makensy giving us NAILBITER final HoH comp this is exactly why we watch this show," a person wrote.
"Makensy won the final HOH & she evicted Cam & took Chelsie to the end! Chelsie just won this season as MJ made the wrong move that cost her the game!" a fan commented.
Big Brother season 26 finale: Chelsie and Makensy compete in the last HoH competition of the season
In Big Brother season 26 finale, Chelsie and Makensy competed in 'Data Destruction' to secure their position in the finale. Host Julie Chen Moonves explained the task and told season 26 contestants that Ainsley had placed corrupted data in the system. Their job was to identify the data so it could be destroyed.
They were shown a series of questions in the form of videos. Each video included the avatar of one Big Brother season 26 jury member. The video revealed three statements about the evicted contestant's game, and they had to pick the false statements.
Rubina's avatar appeared for the winning question. The statements read, A) She hosted the 4th Veto competition, B) She received two votes to be evicted the first time she was on the block, and C) Quinn was HoH when she won the A.I. Arena.
Chelsie picked A, while Makensy picked B. The latter won the competition and the final HoH competition. Later in the competition, she evicted Cam, making her and Chelsie the final two.
Fans reacted to the competition online and praised Makensy's gameplay.
Episodes of Big Brother season 26 are available to stream on CBS and Paramount+.
