What did Angela tell Kimo in the latest episode of Big Brother season 26?
Kimo was among the other houseguests with a soft corner for week 6 evictee Tucker. As a result, he was one of the three contestants who voted against Angela to elongate Tucker's stay in the house. Rubina and Joseph were the other players who voted against Angela.
However, Tucker's eviction was finalized after Chelsie, Cam, Quinn, Leah, and Makensy voted against him. His exit moved Kimo to tears. Angela watched the Big Brother cast member get emotional and decided to uplift his spirits by sharing some motivating words.
"I believe he will still be your bestie outside of here. You guys have a bond that can't be broken," Angela said.
Angela then faced an unexpected situation when Kimo confessed he "voted to keep him." His confession implied that he voted against Angela since she was the other player on the block. As soon as she heard Kimo's confession, her face dropped, and her eyes got teary.
While Kimo sipped his coffee in complete silence, Angela struggled to manage her emotions. She breathed heavily and covered her face with her hands, attempting to hide her tears. Soon Kimo said, "What a game," to which Angela replied, "Yeah" in a broken voice.
Later in the episode, both Big Brother houseguests were nominated by HoH Quinn for week 7's elimination alongside Rubina.
Big Brother season 26 airs on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only on CBS.
