Big Brother season 26 aired another episode this week on Thursday, August 29, 2024, during which another houseguest was sent packing. Makensy, Tucker, and Angela were on the chopping block, but by winning the AI Arena comp, Makensy secured her position in the game.
It came down to Tucker and Angela, the male cast member was evicted. Angela survived another eviction. Fans of the show took to social media to react to the female cast member surviving another week in the season 26 house. One person wrote on X:
"Angela is the mother of the UNDERDOGS!!!"
"angela quite literally blew up her game and turned all her allies against her…. but yet survived against tucker on the block and by the sounds of it likely stays against makensy as well… like that’s mother im sorry," a fan commented.
"Sad to see tucker go, but mother to a fault angela stays and the game is OPEN (still love a split house)," a tweet read.
Big Brother season 26 fans called the cast member a "legend."
"Mother surging 2 evictions and winning 2 HOH, oh this is a legend ANGELA," a person wrote.
"Oh Angela made them cry, that’s mother like keep yourself safe queen you’re staying," a fan commented.
"Tucker is going home and its so sad to see but this means Mother Angela is still here," a tweet read.
Some Big Brother season 26 fans criticized Angela for Tucker's elimination.
"Angela, Tucker saved you and you failed to protect him," a person wrote.
"Tucker proved to be one of the best players in BB history (I said what I said) then quit and asked to be evicted. Angela has won no comps and has done nothing in the house but be a bully and play the victim. So naturally, the HG kept Angela I know how the game is played," a fan commented.
"Let me prove that dreams can come true": Angela asks the Big Brother season 26 cast not to eliminate her
In Big Brother season 26 episode 21, Makensy won the AI Arena competition, meaning either Tucker or Angela would be eliminated. When the three returned from the competition, Julie Chen Moonves announced the winner.
Angela started campaigning for herself when they arrived and told the cast she wanted to stay with them longer. Angela said she wanted to be in Big Brother season 26 and said it was her "dream."
"I've wanted this since my kids were little, I've wanted it so bad I didn't know it was tangible. But I'm here let me prove that dreams can come true. And I want to keep living that dream, you guys."
Angela asked the cast to "please" let her stay so she could "protect" them. She asked them to let her be their friend and someone who could comfort them when needed.
Tucker also campaigned for himself and asked Quinn to return the favor by saving him. The safe contestants gathered in a room to discuss the upcoming voteout. Meanwhile, Tucker assured Angela that she would not be evicted. He said he was telling them to "keep" her the whole week and the two shared a hug.
Angela told the Big Brother season 26 star that she loved him and would believe anything he told her outside of the game. When it was time to vote, Chelsie, Leah, Makensy, Quinn, and Cam voted against Tucker while Rubina, Leah, Kimo, and Joseph voted against Angela.
Fans of the show took to social media to react to the segment. While they were upset to see Tucker leave, they praised Angela's strategy.
