"It's simply time to hang up"- Will Kirby hands over Big Brother jury roundtable hosting duty to Taylor Hale

Big Brother 26 is about to conclude with 3 contestants still in the house competing for the prize money of $750,000. Outside the house, new developments have taken place as Will Kirby leaves his hosting duty at the jury roundtable. As per Parade's October 10 report, Will Kirby will be replaced by season 24 winner Taylor Hale.

She will host the annual roundtable with the 7 jury members which will be filmed beforehand and aired during the finale. The jury members will be the evicted houseguests of the latest season, who will sit down with Taylor as she discusses the events of the season and who they think should win.

Will previously won season 2 of Big Brother and had been part of the show on and off for over a decade. In a September 18 interview with Parade, Will revealed the news of his departure.

"I can confirm that I will not be serving as the Big Brother jury roundtable host this season. It's simply time to hang up the proverbial cleats. The run I've had on the show, first as a contestant and then as a host, is practically unheard of but nothing last forever, I am ready to pass the reality television baton," stated Will.

The 3 contestants left in the house of Big Brother are Chelsie Baham, Makensy Manbeck, and Cam Sullivan-Brown. Rubina Bernabe was voted out by Makensy after she won Power of Veto on the October 10 episode.

What events unfolded in Big Brother 26 episode 37?

In episode 37, the Power of Veto competition was won by Makensy Manbeck who secured her place with Chelsie Baham in the final three. Makensy had only one chance left in the Veto competition while Cam had two. Cam ultimately guessed wrong which gave Makensy the chance to swoop in and take the victory. The jury even speculated that Cam must have thrown away the game.

This continued the trend of losing for Cam who has not won any competition during the entire run of Big Brother 26. Both Rubina and Cam were confident that Makensy would choose them to go to the top 3. Cam was close to Chelsie and Rubina had a pact with the ladies to make it an all-female finale.

The HoH Chelsie confided in Makensy that the jury would favor Rubina over Cam, as she had friends there in the previous contestants and she had a better journey with some competition wins, unlike Cam.

During the live Veto meeting and eviction, Makensy had the power to vote the sole person out of the competition. After mulling things over she chose Rubina to evict from the house. She explained her decision by wanting to be loyal to the people who have stood by her. Rubina in her post-eviction interview expressed that she wasn't surprised by her eviction as she had a feeling Makensy would save Cam.
