Big Brother season 26 aired a new episode on July 27, 2024 on CBS. The segment marked the beginning of the second week of the season and Chelsie was selected as the new Head of Household (HoH). Another cast member, Kenney Kelly, won the Power of Veto (PoV), but fans felt that he should no longer be in the game.
Kenney had previously expressed that he wanted to leave the CBS show. Despite the PoV power he held, the cast member was seen sitting by himself on numerous occasions. This made fans believe he didn't want to be on the show. Netizens voiced their opinions on the season 26 houseguest. One person wrote on X:
"Kenny to Cam: "Who thought this was a good idea? Sweet Kenny K on Big Brother?" Can you just self evict already rather than sit around and complain about your time there? I'm gonna need Angela to put him in check for me again #bb26"
"I know that a lot of you wanted Kenny to go home bc he voiced that he really didn’t wanna be there anymore but I think keeping Kenny was a great move. If Kenny wants to leave so bad he should self evict otherwise he deserves to be used as a pawn #bb26," a fan commented.
"There’s literally only one person in that house who deserves to go home this week and that’s Kenny. I can’t stand him and his wimpy cry baby game play #bb26," a person wrote.
Big Brother season 26 fans commented on the houseguest sitting idle despite winning PoV:
"Kenney needs to stfu. He didn't have to win the veto if he wanted to go home this week and is missing his family so bad #BB26," an X user wrote.
"Kenney just sitting around is not good for his game, when you win hoh or veto that’s when you start talking getting to know ppl, make deals, make alliances and he’s just sitting there by himself…dumb #bb26," a fan commented.
"It’s so annoying of the episode too not show the fact that Kenney asked to go on the block because he wanted to leave AGAIN. Just so they can edit him as the hero next episode when he wins the veto #BB26," a netizen pointed out.
Big Brother season 26 fans further said:
"LMAO Kenny is insane talking ab it’s not in his nature to give up #BB26," a person wrote.
"Kenny told Angela to stop gaming because her game is over? The guy who wants to quit 50% of the time? Dude you haven't earned that kind of sass yet #BB26," a fan commented.
Kenney wins Power of Veto in Big Brother season 26 week 2
Big Brother season 26 entered week 2 on Sunday, July 27, 2024. The show featured a summarized version of what fans saw in the Live Feeds. During the episode, Kenney won PoV and Chelsie became the new HoH.
Chelsie nominated three contestants for elimination, namely Kenney, Lisa, and Angela. To win the Power of Veto and take himself off the block, Kenney went up against the other two nominated contestants.
The remaining contenders were Brooklyn Rivera and Joseph Rodriguez, picked for the competition at random. Kenney, who previously shared the desire to quit the show, told Leah Peters that he would use his new power to take himself off the block.
In week 1 also, Kenney was nominated against Matt Hardeman and the former missed his daughter's birthday. Ultimately, Hardeman was evicted from Big Brother season 26.
After the latest episode aired, fans of the show took to social media to react to Kenney's gameplay and were upset that the cast member wasn't putting in the effort.
