"Love that for him" — Big Brother season 26 fans celebrate Tucker's AI Arena comp win

Big Brother season 26 aired its latest episode on Thursday, August 1, 2024. It showcased the three nominated contestants, Tucker, Lisa, and Angela, battling in the AI Arena competition to gain immunity and avoid elimination.

In the previous episode, viewers of the CBS show saw Kenney Kelly use his Power of Veto to take himself off the block. Consequently, Big Brother HoH Chelsie nominated Tucker to replace Kenney. However, she explained that she nominated him because she knew he could win the challenge, not because she harbored a grudge against him.

The challenge that let its winner evade eviction appeared as a game-changing factor to many houseguests. As a result, they often played it with a strategized mindset. In the latest episode, Tucker emerged victorious after outperforming Lisa and Angela in the AI Arena comp.

Big Brother fans took to X to applaud the cast member's gameplay and celebrate his victory.

"TUCKER WON THE AI ARENA AND IT WASN’T CLOSE! (apparently he really likes puzzles) #BB26," another fan commented.

Big Brother season 26 star Tucker wanted Lisa evicted from the house

Tucker assumed Lisa had a special power that she was hiding and challenged her to reveal it, but the latter denied his claim. To influence the houseguests against Lisa, the Big Brother cast member went around the house telling everyone that she had a special power she was unwilling to disclose.

Later, Angela approached Tucker and informed him that Quinn possessed the power, not Lisa. Despite that knowledge, Tucker continued to harbor a grudge against her. He started disliking Lisa ever since she interrupted his introductory speech at the show's start. He then schemed to get her evicted from the Big Brother house.

Tucker knew he had to win the AI Arena competition to put Lisa at risk of going home. The challenge was a puzzle where the nominees had to rotate gears on a display podium and rearrange the pieces to match a security scanner key. Tucker managed to assemble the pieces in the shortest amount of time, removing himself from the block.

The safe houseguests cheered when they heard Tucker won the challenge. Consequently, Lisa and Angela walked into the live eviction. Lisa was sent home, having received 11 votes. While speaking to Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves, she admitted she felt blindsided by the result.

As Lisa exited the house, Tucker was seen celebrating her departure.
