"Just lost the season" — Big Brother fans divided by Tucker's elimination

Big Brother season 26 aired its latest episode on Thursday, August 29, 2024. The three nominees, Tucker, Angela, and Makensy were given a last chance to extend their stay in the house by winning the AI Arena competition. The players put their best foot forward, however, only one emerged victorious.

Makensy's performance outshined the others', sending Tucker and Angela straight into elimination. After the houseguests cast their votes, host Julie Chen Moonves announced that Tucker was evicted after receiving five votes in his name, whereas Angela received three.

Big Brother season 26 fans were divided by Tucker's elimination. While some were upset to see a strong competitor leave, others rejoiced about his exit. Tucker was deemed a controversial player who played a calculated game, orchestrating Cedric and Brooklyn's evictions.

At the same time, viewers considered him one of the most entertaining houseguests, whose unpredictable gameplay kept them on the edge of their seats. Netizens flocked to X to express their views on the cast member's eviction.

Big Brother season 26 star Tucker admitted he was not surprised by the results

The houseguests assumed Tucker would champion the AI Arena competition since he had won multiple challenges before. However, he struggled to finish the puzzle and was ultimately outperformed by Makensy.

In the meantime, Chelsie campaigned for Tucker's elimination because she was upset he orchestrated Pentagon members, Cedric and Brooklyn's eliminations in the previous weeks. Chelsie was supported by Quinn, another Big Brother houseguest, who was not fond of Tucker's gameplay.

Together they convinced Cam to turn against the cast member. When it was time to cast the votes, Chelsie, Cam, Leah, Makensy, and Quinn voted against Tucker. Meanwhile, Rubina, Joseph, and Kimo voted against the other Big Brother nominee Angela. Tucker was ultimately evicted after receiving the majority of votes.

After he exited the house, he told Julie he was not surprised by the outcome since he knew the houseguests were not in favor of him. However, he was slightly surprised by Makensy's vote because she had previously reassured him that she would vote to keep him in the house.

He then confessed he would miss his "showmance" Rubina, admitting it would be challenging to be away from her. However, he hoped she won the show while he watched from home. Julie finally revealed that America voted to award him $20,000 for his role as the AI Instigator.
